I think my favorite is still the “Sky Golem is the same as having a class defining trait such as a mech” ones. That’s really reaching.
Id be fine with another mail class since we only have two at the moment. I could sit and cherry pick wishes for the class all day long but honestly Warcrafts take on tinkering morphed into a full fledged class instead of a woefully underrated profession would be all I need.

It’s a common one for sure.
I think my favorite terrible argument is
“Intelligence can not be used to Tank”
I’d never ever reroll.
Addendum. I’d never reroll if it can tank. I’ve been my guilds main tank for like… 5-6 years now.

That’s like saying we don’t need Tinkerer because we have Engineering.
I want to be a boar, along with every other pseudo class that we’ve seen in every single expansion since release. It’s in the game so just make it a class!
My vote for most overused terrible argument goes to “But we already have an engineering class”
Tell that to the druids. (Oh wait I am a druid)

Alright: Let’s take this argument to it’s logical conclusion.
Tinkers:
Fit into existing class design, given abilities Blizzard has already made
Tinkers:
Have A Hero representative from Warcraft 3, Just like every other class
Tinkers:
Conform well to existing races in WoW.

I can honestly see Tinker being a 4 spec class just like Druids… Heal, Tank, Ranged DPS, Melee DPS…
The healer being all about alchemy, with some gadgetry mixed in.
The ranged DPS is a creation of pure Goblin ingenuity, favoring inventions that go boom over all else.
The melee DPS is a hard hitting scrapper, aided by small mechanical creations.
And the tank, commands a personal mech to protect themselves and their allies.
also, mail armor… absolutely mail armor…

I need this class and I’m angry at you all because it doesn’t yet exist.
Rachot. I love this idea and hope beyond hope that it’s the case.
But I also doubt it.
But, playing devils advocate. We’ve already seen Blizzard invest into the class only having 3 specs.
It would also give us a perfectly even number of Ranged and Melee Damage dealers.
I know that feel.

Yup, they’re called “engineers.” And it’s a profession.
And most likely delete Engineering from the game. Or at least cripple it even more to the point of absolute uselessness.
Alright… something is wrong with the world. I agree with Metro.

Do Engineers get to use the Tinker abilites from Warcraft 3? Don’t think so.
Death Knights can use the Death Knight abilities from Warcraft 3.
Monks can use the Pandaren Brewmaster abilities from Warcraft 3.
Demon Hunters can use the Demon hunter abilities from Warcraft 3.
Do Engineers conform to this?
Why tho? We didn’t lose Enchanters when we got Death Knights.
Hell. If engineering can still build scopes and gun attachments then it would have 2 classes to benefit.
Alright, so how and in what ways would a class based on Tinkering by necessity “delete” engineering which is a profession based entirely around useless gimmick gizmos?

Every npc in the game has abilities that Blizzard made? So what?
This is irrelevant, just because you could play it in WC3 doesn’t mean it was good or that it would translate well into WoW.
So would literally any class imaginable?
I get it, you want to be a Tinkerer just like I want to be Necromancer.
The difference between us is that I don’t keep fabricating reasons why it would fit perfectly in the game just to fit my argument.

I’m all for a Tinker class. However, next expansion will most likely take place in the dragon isles which means the next class will be the Dragonsworn.

Most NPC abilities don’t have level requirements and cooldowns.
These do.
Most NPC abilities don’t use unique high res assets.
These do.
But this one would. It obeys modern day spec design, and it doesn’t inhibit the theme of existing class.
That’s not true. We already have races that are defectively Tinkers in the Lore, and have been for decades.
No I’d say the difference is we already have a class that uses Necromancy.

Maybe when ion and his deplorables get axed we will get a new class but they gave up trying to balance what we have now.
I’m not so sure that they “Gave Up”
Blizzard has repeated themselves time and time again. Usually only doing 1-2 major balance patches every expansion.
That’s the way it’s been and that’s likely the way it’s always gonna be. New classes or no new classes.
Tinker Class is just not that appealing. There’s no way to substantiate the design time because it’s not like Gazlowe lovers are suddenly going to come out of the woodwork.
I actually agree with Metro for the first time ever. They don’t need to add classes, they need to add depth and customizability to the classes that exist and actually spend time balancing. Simply promising to do that would be far more of a selling point than Tinkers.
Adding classes is something they could maybe consider by the expansion after the next one. lol.
