Okay that’s cool. Come back to this thread in Feb or whenever the next exp is announced.
Thanks to my experiences with certain Tinker fans who were nothing but rotten to me on one of the reddit threads, Tinkers are way at the bottom for me right below the bard class. I wouldn’t be so sure of Tinkers happening next expansion if I were you, you’ll just set yourself up for disappointment. Been there done that with Shadowlands.
Dark Rangers, Necromancers and Dragonsworn are far more desirable than Tinkers, in my opinion. Before you say Dark Rangers and Necromancers will never happen, there are just as many “hints” for them as there are for Tinkers. They follow both follow patterns typical of a hero class as do tinkers and are fairly popular requests. What if the next expansion is Light or Void? Tinkers have nothing to do with either. If they were going to be introduced some time soon, it would have been during BFA. Until Blizzard gives me Dark Rangers via customization, class skins, or a class they’re not impossible.
So let’s say the next expansion is void themed. Tinkers would not make sense and would not be immune to the void’s whispers as they are living breathing people. However, unless things have changed, the undead are immune or at least resistant to the void and its whispers which means Dark Rangers would make sense during a void themed expansion as they are undead. They also make sense because Dark Rangers use both death and shadow magic. Atm, I’m working on a concept for DRs.
I’m not saying Tinker will never happen because they’re just as likely to happen as the other two. But I don’t see them fitting any races other than Gnomes, Mechagnomes and Goblins which would leave the Alliance with more races who can be Tinkers. None of the other races besides Dwarves make sense thematically as Tinkers. Plus the Tinkers I remember from both HotS and WCIII were all melee with some ranged attacks, not that it’s impossible to deviate from that.
Yeah, I heard almost the exact same thing from multiple Tinker fans across the internet before Shadowlands was officially announced. Look how that turned out.

If the light v void expansion takes places in k’aresh, which it will because duh where else, then going to a techy planet is perfect means for a tinker class.
Sorry but the only way Necro or DR will see the light of day is as skins for locks and as a 4th spec or skin for hunter.
If blizzard ever intended for them to be classes they would have introduced one or the other with SL, given SL is the ultimate death themed expansion.
Look, from your responses to other people I can see that you’re not one to accept anything other than your own assumptions. I have nothing against you, but after I reiterate my point I’m going to end this conversation.
Blizzard is perfectly capable of inventing new places for us to go and as such K’aresh isn’t the only possible place. Not to mention that K’aresh was obliterated by Dimensius the All-Devouring.
Nope. You speak as though you are certain, yet you have no evidence to back up your claims. The truth is none of us know what will or won’t happen in regards to WoW. You know nothing for certain.
SL “the ultimate death expansion pack.” It’s the only death expansion. Wrath was Undeath.
You keep doing you though, no hate intended.

as i remember it, brm struggled early on with tuning – from one situation to the next they were either invincible or crumpled like paper. for content you even mildly outgeared, it was glorious… i’d go through entire dungeons without taking enough damage to kill me even if it came in a single hit (like 600k health, 350k total damage taken for the run… don’t remember the exact numbers but it was along those lines). but on progression stuff once you ran out of cds, you either got lucky with dodge/parry and took basically no damage, or you got a bad rng streak and got 3-shotted. i don’t remember there being much in-between.

A tinkerer class is so lame. Who would play such an idiotic concept?
Even better…a new COVENANT…and a brand new system added on top of what we already have…omgosh that would be lovly ^^
As much as I would love to see a tinker/machinist class in WoW, I don’t have enough faith in the current devs to pull anything off like that. Right now the classes are jerry rigged with thread, barely holding things together.
I literally Made this exact thread on the general discussion, 2-3 days ago…. And i got ZERO replies. Literally not a single person acknowledged it… this one is approaching 100 replies the first day.
I’m being shadow banned by blizz.

How about they just work with the mechanics that are already in game and upgrade the tradeskills…including engineering.

Dragonsworn would be pretty awesome.
Yeah the legal team ran of with the duct tape ^^
Getting real sick of tinfoil hat tinker spam at this point.
Wholly agreed. Out of all the fan-requested class support groups, the tinker and bard crowds now just come off as pushy and insistent that their classes are a strong possibility or inevitability and that support for them is much higher than it actually is, though they’re far from the only groups in the WoW community to have this mindset. I’d rather have any of the other classes that Balesong mentioned, or some kind of Void-based “Riftblade” class, but I think most people want a new ranged class instead of another melee.

Need necromancer/alchemist first!
I’m only pushy of tinker since I know without a doubt that it’s the next class.
I can claim that my state’s next governor will be an orangutan and shout it from a megaphone in public, but that doesn’t mean it will be.
Like Balesong said, we don’t know what will come next, but you’re completely hellbent on believing your own misguided theorycrafting, so there’s little point in arguing any further. Don’t throw a fit when the next expansion comes and we get a new class other than tinkers, or they add no new class for the third expansion in a row, which at this point is the likelier outcome.

It’s not misguided. Its educated prediction. Just wait till Feb or whenever 10.0 is announced. You’ll see.
