16 Years old and No Tinker Class

Yeah, all those interesting things engineering has now like

and

also the

oh yeah, it lost most of it’s interesting stuff already, the only things still around basically just being from MoP and Wrath.

If Blizzard can’t find a way to make a class out of engineering, the class design team needs to just stop trying and revert to MoP classes. You can’t fail at a concept that freeform and call yourself a game designer.

You can literally play the whole game and never choose a profession. They do not matter.

Not making a choice, Is a choice.

If you don’t want to provide anything to your guild or allies you don’t have to.
You aren’t shoehorned into picking a profession.

Adding a New class doesn’t restrict Engineering at all.

I would love a tinker. As I’ve seen stated in other threads, the tinker should be a mail wearer wielding guns. I’d love to see another ranged class using ranged weapons aside from hunter. Also, wouldn’t a pet healer be cool? Scholar was my favorite class in FF14:ARR, so I’d love to play another pet healer. Having fairy pets that healed was just so neat and unique to me. A tinker could have drones that would heal, as well as turrets and assorted robots. Maybe even a mech for tanking?

To me Shadowlands feels like the catch-up expansion. Blizz is focusing on catching up with unpruning and improving class gameplay, as well as trying to improve character customization options. I feel like WoW qol has fallen by the wayside over BFA and WoD, so now the devs have to make up for the damage caused by past decisions instead of making a fully fleshed out expansion with a new class as we are used to.

Hopefully next expansion we’ll get a new class, if not brand new races instead of allied races; races with brand new starting cities and zones. I love WoW, but it’s still all the same old content to level in.

I think you nailed it. And I agree, it does feel like a catch-up expansion. And I’m ok with that, I want WoW to last for a long time.

Until class design and balance is magically fixed(spoiler alert it won’t ever be) we probably won’t get a new class. The 12 classes and existing 36 specs need to all feel fun in general and some never do to this day. Lots of issues need to be addressed still but probably won’t ever be realistically anytime soon. We need a new class that’s for sure but I think I’d rather see necromancers or a Spellbreaker before a Tinker.

I think a tinker class would fit well.

IF Blizz is determined to not do it, for god’s sake bring some vision to Survival Hunter, and rename it “tinker”…focus on traps, replace the pet with turrets and traps., or gove mechanical pet options only in that spec with commands like “turret”, “seek and kamikaze”, etc, and give it back a ranged weapon.

Absolutely not. The last thing I want is a half-baked version of it baked into Hunter.
Hunter is about Animals and Nature.

And laser guns and robots, apparently

I understand why you think this may happen, but with all the respect in the world. I sincerely hope your idea does not come to pass.

I just think it would give Tinker-hungry players an avenue to pursue their class fantasy IF Blizz didn’t want to add a class, or UNTIL Blizz did add it. Kind of how Demonology locks used to be demon hunter lites with metamorphosis. Also, I hate survival hunter and feel it lacks a strong class fantasy. But I’m happy to just ignore it if they added a true Tinker class.

I disagree, Survival is blizzards attempt at a “rexxar” type spec to be in the game.

I doubt they would scrap it with how popular rexxar is.

The tinker would need it’s own class, and the only things that tinker’s shares in common with hunters anyways is that they use guns.

Mok’Nathal allied race and dual wielding then! Doesn’t he also have multiple pets at once? If that is the Rexxar archtype, Blizz kinda swung and missed…wildly.

Well, I would argue mechanical pets fit pretty well. As do explosive traps and oil puddles.

I’m down with a mok’nathal allied race.

Yes he did, but I guess they didn’t want to trample on the toes of beast master hunters too much, although they could have had stampede fulfill that quota.

Nah, we need them mecha suits!

And sappers use moar bombs.

and medic would be tf2 medic-like lmao

You might piss off some PVP’ers but I’d like to see engineer turned into a class. You could have Horde and Alliance have their own flavor of engineer with gnomish engineering and goblin engineering.

what kinda toxic troll flagged this thread forreal

Have you played Marvel’s Avengers? When Iron Man summons the Hulkbuster armor and you climb in, it feels pretty darn cool. I would love to see mech suits, in all the racial flavors…Draenei, Dwarf, Nightborne, Goblin and Gnome. What would the other Horde races be? Forsaken? Belf?

To be honest I don’t even know who’s flagging my threads.
And At this point I don’t think I want to know.
Every thread I’ve made for the past week or so has been flagged for no good reason, I obviously do not break the code of conduct or the terms of use.
All they do is make blizzard work necessarily hard on things that don’t matter.

Who ever my secret admirer is. I hope you know I love you and respect your opinion. But you should learn to communicate in a healthier way.
