Agnostic-styled healing with additional speciality lines; non-reliant on spiritualism, druidism, or shamanism for healing. The class would be active, yet frowned upon within the Alliance (like rogues and mages in Orgrimmar). Embraced by the Horde, as a previously established Guild of Practitioners.
3 available specs:
a) Healing- inoculating darkness, philters, phials, whiff of Ether
b) DPS- (sub-specs: AoE or ST) wildfire, venomous concoctions, plague-tainted scalpel
c) Tanking with pet (Golem, Simulacrum, Re-animation) Buffs and pet-healing for Apothecary/Alchemistâs pet. Pet should be able to fill in for tank role.
-Lore currently exists in game.
-Allows some races a more satisfying healer class fantasy: Humans, Forsaken, Worgen, Leper Gnomes, Goblins.
-Golems/Reanimations already exist in game.
Thoughts? (Please be constructive, donât just quip, âfix Ele shamanâ or âfix Warfronts first.â)

Honestly a better fit would be to attach this concept to a Tinker class as itâs healing spec. THe WC3 hero (The Goblin Alchemist) had abilities that could easily work with a technology-based class. His main ability was a gun that sprayed a healing mist in all directions. He also had the ability to increase the attack/movement speed of his ogre, and could toss an Acid Bomb on a target that would splash all enemies around it and reduce their armor. Finally his ultimate was to turn a target into gold and loot it.
So right there you have healing, and three utility spells.

To be honest ,it would be to easy for wow players to heal for blizzard to use,as well as to easy to heal in raids.
I think realisticaly all future classes will probably end up having 2 specs like DHs, in which case dps and heal make sense. A tanking class that uses a pet would be terrible since the AI in this game for pets is so bad.
Tinker having a potions spec could work though. Like a 2 for 1. Only problem with tinker is that blizzard in their infinite wisdom would do something like race lock it to gnomes and goblins.

oooo, love your guild name.
I hate the idea. Really just doesnât fit in this game, sounds like something you saw in another game and thought it was âneatâ.
People were suggesting this class back in 2012 - has to be a copy off another game.

What like Pathfinder Alchemist class with all your bombs either DOT or direct damage ? Two dps and 1 heal spec could work. But to be perfectly honest the game needs to die instead of more class and race dilution. I mean if you are making threads on the forums trying to come up with new classes means you are bored out of your mind or really hate the 12 classes we do have. Blizzard cannot balance this much. And if you bring back talent trees , cookie cutter comes back err i means sims and icy-veins.
Atheaoakclaw, you only present two choices; to paraphrase, âyour post either means this, or thatâŚâ Iâd call that a false dilemma.
I donât play Pathfinder, but I like the idea of an Alchemist class. Since that language is already reserved for a trade skill, and the lore already supports plague-wielding ApothecariesâŚwhy not go with the lore.
Anyway, just my two coppers.
