I have always wondered why we only have one class that can use bows/crossbows/guns.
In classic Warriors could equip bows yeah? I think it would be really cool to have a warrior class that uses bows. They are weapon masters, you would think Archery would be a valid skill for warriors.
In most games and table top variants, warriors/fighters are able to opt into ranged weapons. Could this be a plausible thing for warriors in WoW?

the warrior should be a support then cuz how would you make it not similar to a hunter? it should use banners or something and a bow for dps i guess

We had other classes with bows, but they got taken away.

I think banners would be awesome! I liked the pvp banners we got a few expansion ago. That would be a great idea to add another support, Aug is an awesome class already, but variety is good.
They could also add more shouts! We already have like 4 talents dedicated to out shouts. Adding some more supportive ones would be really fun.
I definitely feel like rogue should have an assassin class that uses bows but that’s just me.
I think a warrior ranged spec would be a cool support.

Tinkers should be the next bow/cross/bow and gun using class. They could also have a healing spec that specializes in shooting healing darts, throwing healing bombs etc.

But what class would you put them in? Is that another hunter spec? Or just a new class all together?
I want a magic archer type class. MM hunter is the Arms warrior of bows, give us the enhance shaman or ret paladin of bows.

Rogue sniper build would be great

All rogues used to have bows. We had a third weapon slot that allowed us to equip a ranged stat stick (and use it). I still have my bows in my Void (bank) from Vanilla.
It feels VERY strange to play Outlaw which has a ranged option, but no weapon to put in a ranged slot. Really messes with the fantasy of the class when you have skills that have nothing to do with the weapons you can equip.
Rogue with Bow or gun again would make sense. I don’t think they are going to give us something “more complicated” though with the current philosophy.

We still have limitations in Warglaives… only DHs can use it.
Let that sink.

I fear all the bow fantasy has been absorbed into hunter.
An arcane archer who uses mana? Have we come full circle to where hunters started?

More magic than that. Think like how much magic an enhance shaman or ret paladin uses, but apply that to a bow using class.
I believe Blizzard has shown via survival that they can’t create another bow class or spec.
Tinker will likely be the next physical ranged class, but I predict they won’t use guns or bows at all.
I still say this concept of “tinker” still just sounds like a hunter with engineering skill to me.

And one of the many mech mounts available in the game.
GW2 launched with Ranger and Engineer and they play very very differently.

It may just be me, but the more I think about it. I love the idea of a battlefield commander spec for warriors. Using shouts and banners to buff allies. And ultimately using a bow would be really cool.
