What could be the next class? What's your wish?

What’s your wish for the next class? Or what do you think has the most chance to make it? How would you want it to look like?

Thought it might be fun to speculate.

What I think has the most chance, and my wish is the Tinker. Why do I think it has a chance to be implemented, two reasons:

  1. Tinkering is a big deal lore wise for many playable races. It’s even the core identity of Gnomes, Goblins and Mechagnomes.
  2. All three classes implemented post launch basically come straight out of Warcraft 3, and there is a Tinker in Warcraft 3.

As for how I’d like it to look like. I’d like it to have three specs:

  • Tanking spec, turning him into a tank, literally. Like in Warcraft 3;
  • Healing spec, similar to Medics from StarCraft;
  • Ranged DPS spec, rocketeer all about rockets again like in Warcraft 3;

Tinkerer… with Ranged/Melee DPS and Tank roles, or one of each… come on Blizz!

We’ve literally not had a new ranged spec since vanilla.
In fact we’ve lost a ranged spec (Survival). Kinda want to say we’ve lost Demo too. Poor sweet Demo.

So I just really want a new ranged spec.
My ideal theme would be throwing weapons like javelins, glaives, etc.
I’d settle for a ranged DH spec.

A conjurer would be nice too, and a proper one not "mage food pls :slight_smile: ", I’m talking conjuring up big axes that fall on people, swords above your head that fly at your enemies, conjuring up big phoenixes that crash into people.

They need to fix the ones we have first before making more.

We do need a mail tank - Survival seems to be the best choice as it is pretty much unused right now.

Seeing how braindead DH turned out to be, l’d rather not have a new class.

Pls no. /10char

As long as it wears mail, I’m fine with any new class. Or rework one of the four leather wearers for mail. Third specc for DH would be fine too instead of a whole new class.

Bard. I want to lull my enemies to sleep with my dance and songs.

Not a new class but
-A ranged spec for DH
-Shaman tank
Would be cool.

The Tinker could be awesome and I waited him for SL before they said they won’t add a new class because instead of it they’re adding new char customizations (and for what they add, we got screwed)…

Anyway, a four spec Tinker.

•Tank with a MECH
•Ranged DPS with turrets and GUN (another class with guns please)
•Melee DPS with turrets 2 1H Maces (or why not 1H Mace for right hand and 1H sword or tool (like a screwdriver) for left hand)
•Healer with turrets and a Polearm

I don’t want to sound negative but I don’t want a new class, seeing how Blizzard treats the classes that currently exists.

I wish necromancer was added, let them have bone dogs and necrotic meteors or something and give me my spec back.

If I were to be honest I’d assume Tinker would be the next and the most logical class to be added, also the most interesting and probably the last.

Still I don’t really want any new classes, already we have a lot of them, I understand that new class would give many people, maybe even myself rush of excitement but idk if in long run it would be beneficial

Otherwise on paper tinker would be awesome to see with all the tech theme

mate,blizzard cant balance the allready existing classes and specs,immagine put a new one xD

13

That’s a theme since vanilla…

14

Nothing really. Would be nice if excisting classes got a spec more like hunter a healing bard spec or so

Why would you want a new class?

Just fix the ones we already have.

No need to bring out another thing that needs balancing.

16

It was supposed to come out with 3 spec. at release!

17

Tinker

Mail
Primarily ranged.

Melee tank spec
Ranged healer spec
Ranged dps spec

DPS/healer specs use guns and crossbows (these items now offer intellect on the primary)
Tank uses shield plus 1h wep and pilots mech

General gameplay: summons in the form of turrets, unique resoruces etc.

I have a whole document drawn up on my tinker concept for anyone whom is curious

let them fix the current ones first

It was supposed to be Enhancement, it was just never used that way, because other classes are better in tanking, and WoW community is obsessed with min/maxing.

That’s never going to happen.

Make a melee DPS spec for warlock (demon form, dark magic boosted melee abilities, etc.) and give us a proper necromancer with summoning, poison spells, bone shields etc. I would love to see a ranged DPS spec with holy spells, and tinker as a whole new class. For DH there could be a ranged DPS spec as well, with glaive throwing abilites and fel spells.
