What about bards?

Now that we have a support class, I think it would be legitimate to think not about evokers but something more humble and simple: the bard.

From old April’s fool joke, to fully functional and easygoing class, available for every race just like warriors. In this way, we would have a massive increase in support roles without the need to add a lot of new specs (bard would be fine even just by having 2 specs like DH, or even just one, who cares).

What do you think?

I’ve never liked the idea of a bard class in WoW. To me it just doesn’t fit.

I’d rather see tinker class with a support spec included.

That would also be quite the addition!

I would love something similar to what FF14 has, where the buffs you give are pretty minor but tied into your rotation. Just a chill happy go round dps support. Honestly I don’t think you’d even need a new class, in dnd bards usually share quite a lot of abilities with thief so they could easily be a new spec for rogues.

Edit: for refrence FF14 bard: (trigger warning, contains a video from Final Fantasy 14)

Augumentation evoker has proven that WoW is not ready for a support class. So no.

Stop making new classes, and try to balance the ones you have.

Well give it time until it’s ready, like, a decade or so

What about them?

They’re cool

I dont think they are.

Well shame on you!

I dont feel bad about it tbh…

It will come a day where you possibly will, and then you will possibly think about your past self and how absurd it was not to like them. Maybe.

I cant tell the future, so who can say. Dont really get bard tho.

I think bard should be 4th hunter spec. Focus is a great resource for bards to play melodies with a harp or something. The musical instrument would work like outlaw pistol shot, you whip it out every now and then, instants or channels. Main weapon would still be bow, cbow or a gun. It should play without a pet though.

Mechagnome/Goblin limited class, based on engineering.

I’d take that in a heartbeat.

And give it 3 specs, a tank that uses customizable gnome/goblin mechs to tank, a healer that uses bots and robots to heal and support their allies and a dps that uses rifles, gadgets and turrets to dps.

I disagree. :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

tell that to the people who keep kicking them out because they lack in dps according to their sweet precious e-peen meters
