Can we get a 4th class that uses shields?

I dont care which class, but it would be nice to shake things up a bit and throw in a 4th class that could at least option shields if they wanted.

It’d kinda fit for like, an outlaw rogue or something to use bucklers. But WoW doesn’t make the distinction between those and larger shields. Though with that class specifically idk how it’d work mechanically.

If we are talking about 4th tank spec for Shamans then sure, I would support that. You guys need all the help you can get. I don’t know how I feel about other classes though, especially druids, the favorite child of blizzard, they deserve NOTHING!

By making Outlaw more like Reaper from Overwatch and less Pirate.

On topic: Blood DK should have been a shield spec that uses shields to mitigate damage and instead of being an absorption tank, going all in on leech.

We still don’t have a second class that uses bows/guns/crossbows or Glaives or Agility Daggers.

Or make Outlaw dual wield crossbows.
Ya that could work too.

How about having more than 1 Class (and only 2 specs) that use Bows/Guns?

The fact Evokers only use weapons as stat sticks means they should’ve been given Ranged Weapons, Glaives, and Daggers, to give another user of those weapons.

Death Knights would have been cool with shields but we’ve only seen them use shields in old sketches and artwork like the little booklet that Wotlk came with inside the box. I guess it makes sense they could use 2hs to tank or dual wield I guess if you really wanted to as it made them unique at the time.

It’s probably more likely that shaman will use shields in a new tank spec one day or maybe Spellbreakers if they ever get made.

This question is so uninformed that I don’t even know where to begin. First of all, you clearly don’t understand the game design and balance of World of Warcraft, which is based on the classic trinity of tank, healer and damage dealer roles. Adding a fourth class that can use shields would completely disrupt this system and create a lot of problems for the developers and the players. Shields are not just cosmetic items, they provide significant defensive benefits and allow certain classes to perform their roles better. For example, warriors and paladins use shields to tank and mitigate damage, while shamans and priests use shields to enhance their healing and utility. If you give shields to any other class, you would either make them too powerful or too weak compared to the existing classes.

Secondly, you seem to have no appreciation for the lore and fantasy of World of Warcraft, which is one of the main reasons why people play this game. Each class has a distinct identity and history that is reflected in their abilities and equipment. Shields are not something that you can just throw around and expect everyone to use them. They are part of the culture and tradition of certain races and factions, such as the humans, dwarves, orcs and tauren. They represent their values and beliefs, such as honor, courage, faith and protection. Giving shields to classes that don’t fit these themes would be a huge disrespect to the lore and the fans.

Thirdly, you seem to have no idea what you actually want from the game. You say you don’t care which class gets shields, but then you say you want to shake things up a bit. That’s a contradiction in terms. If you don’t care about the class, then why do you want to change it? And if you want to change it, then why don’t you care about the class? What exactly are you trying to achieve by adding a fourth shield class? Do you want more diversity? More challenge? More fun? More customization? More options? You need to be more specific and clear about your goals and preferences before you make such a radical suggestion.

In conclusion, your question is pointless, but also harmful and disrespectful to the game and its community. You should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking about it. I suggest you either educate yourself on the game mechanics, lore and design of World of Warcraft, or find another game that suits your tastes better. Because clearly, this one is not for you.

Crush it. Hunter’s don’t deserve class identity.

Can we get a Tank that uses Mail?

same way you’d add a new shield user without stepping on warr or pally toes

you just don’t.

maybe they focus on elemental arrows
maybe they’re a buff class
maybe they can only use guns and crossbows but duel wield them - and somehow make that make sense
Maybe they could focus on holy and arcane damage and be a priestess of elune type thing.

and obviously any new ranged weapon class/spec wouldn’t use pets since that’s the hunters core gimmick.

2 classes using the same weapon type doesn’t mean they’re the same class, we have pallys, warriors, and DKs all using 2h weapons yet they’re all unique.

Give me a shield, I’ll hold it. The magic doesn’t really care, and neither do the demons. Felguard might laugh at me, but he does anyway.

Damn, AI is savage.
