Slurp slurp. Let’s suck you back in here.
Yeah, I dunno, static poses Orcs look really cool in armour, but as soon as you do anything I don’t really feel them.
I was hoping the erect orcs would fix that but it’s more of a bandaid since as soon as you move back into the hunch we go.
Unless you play a caster
Orcs can play casters now? Lol ;p
Orc Fire Magi will always look great.
I personally feel like Bard would be an amazing addition to the game but the way people think of bard conceptually at first glance is difficult to implement into the game. But if we think of bard as not a “support class” but having a dedicated, healer, dps and tank spec then it would fit infinitely better into the game. Think of the bard more in a dnd’s standard where it would have colleges, like the College of Swords, and make that the tank spec. An evasive tank sort of like brewmaster where they have a large dodge stat and focuses on riposting and parrying and dodging attacks and dishing out flurries of stabs and swings with a single sword. Also having a ranged dps and a healer spec dedicated to the more musical side of Bards where a dps bard would spend time casting things like instant cast dps chords and debuffs/dots, a healer bard could do long cast/channeled healing songs sort of like a holy priest. It would help diversify/change the idea of bards being less than just a pair of drums that give a dps buff to everyone.
If Bard is to exist in this game, make it a 4th rogue spec, and let us heal/buff. I would love the option to have a secondary role, beyond just DPS. Build it like the fistweaving monk, and have done with it.
This either new physical ranged class or at very least a class that uses mail armor, could use another toon to help farm transmog
My stand is “it’s all optional - there might not be any new class or race”.
Classes:
We already have 36 subclasses (a healer and a tank are NOT the same class, in my opinion). I think that’s plenty for an MMO. I am not expecting any new classes.
DAOC (a very popular MMO, until WoW came out) had 3 times as many classes as WoW has. That did not make DAOC a better game. The WoW design team noticed that.
Race:
As for new races, that is almost entirely cosmetic. How much dev time will Blizzard be willing to add for cosmetics? We already have 23 choices. How many do you expect?
