16 Years old and No Tinker Class

Do you really want a spec based around the worst and least played spec in the game. I’m all for it, take Demonology. Now the Mecha suit tank would be interesting though.

A healer that heals with guns and grenades sounds dope too.

And we clearly don’t have a DPS spec focused around explosives. give em A DPS cooldown called “The Big one” or something that’s just a nuke.

Hey… If we continue to make more tinker thread, let’s not forget a request to Blizzard to make us a Tinker Sub forum to give new ideas for the next Tinker class in an upcoming expansion.

I was really surprised there wasn’t a Tinker class announced for Shadowlands as well, I thought with introduction to Mechagon and the spotlight on tinkers we were sure to get an upcoming class announcement.

Shadowlands definitely got left a hole in our hearts by not announcing a new class.

and you’re right. BFA didn’t just but Tinkers in the spotlight, it also came with a ton of Assets and even abilities for such a class.

and then… Nothing.

I would literally accept any class right now. Any at all. Sure I make fun of “bards” but I will play the hell out of it!

Blizz, its two xpacs later; we don’t want to make more alts that are the same as the ones we already have. Dragonknight, dragoon, tinker, spellbreaker… some dude with a whip. ANYTHING!!! :sob:

I feel that. I just Think Tinkers are the most likely.
I also think they’re the coolest idea. but that’s obviously subjective

It’s defiantly time for Tinker and I’m always excited at the idea of more classes.

Well at least they did one thing right I guess :slight_smile:

Alright that one got a chuckle.

What do you think about Tinkers having guns with the Mechagon Armory gun animations? Like the Volatile Blaster and its sound effects. Seems like it would be a nice way to separate Hunters and Tinkers.

I think this is a Nice Idea. But I don’t see any reason hunters and Tinkers cant use the same guns, and gun animations.

A like a lot of gun animations in WoW, especially the ones for goblins.

I think it really really sucks that only 1 class can use them, and that one class is specifically themed around archery and nature.

For instance, even if you use a gun. All of your abilities are bow themed, Abilities like volley still fire arrows.

It’s just wasted potential

Oh, I just mean how Hunters use bullets and how the Mechagon guns have energy blasts

Oh. My bad.

I mean, that’s neat but it doesn’t really seem necessary. Id argue most of the Tinkers we see use conventional firearms, not energy blasts. Especially Orcs and Goblins.

I know blizzard doesn’t know what Glyphs are anymore. But it would be a great glyph.

Perhaps they’d have access to some guns with unique pew-pew animations? I just like the idea that you’d feel a little different than a Hunter, while just firing a weapon.

OH! Great point about Glyphs!

I just get excited at the idea of a Goblin using a flame thrower and a Gnome using a reygun lol.

I agree that the class should look and feel different.
But I think that is best left to ability animations, unique armor sets, and stats.

For instance a tinker would use Intellect, they would have visibly different abilities from Hunters, and they would have unique armor.

Then your auto attacks, personally, are just down to race. Since every race has unique auto attacks and gun handling animations.

Sign me up for both.

As you wish Mon Cheri

hearing tinker class made me think of GW2 tinker class, shame no class knows how to man a siege tank, or a gnome battle tank sitting outside the inn in dun morough,

i remember being a gnome and seeing that and saying “I’m so going to use one of those or a siege tank!” fast-forward to today, still haven’t gotten to use either one… lol

We’ve seen dungeon bosses that are Gnomes/goblins in mech suits in every expansion it seems.

I would kill to Be in my own mech and prove my mettle against theirs.
But alas 16 years of waiting, hopefully not much longer now.
