Ya know getting an actual new ranged dps since Evokers are mostly healers or Support since they killed devastation with the creation of Augmentation.
While i think a dark Ranger class is unlikely due to the fact it will be a hero talent in Warthin it would be a nice class addition on an expansion focused on Quel’thelas.
A dark Ranger trope would be asthetic of Dracthyr Evoker which is more like a Overwatch Hero than a “new class”
One spec focused on shadow magic the other focused on archery.
Maybe they are done with classes and will just create new expanding hero specs. The exception would be if they ever did add Tinker as it wouldn’t fit into a hero spec nicely.
I hope we see some race specific class specs (but for all races since that’s the retail thing to do).
Purely aesthetic with possibly some flavor spells, so instead of a Paladin of the Holy Light, I could learn the ways of the Sunwalker and all my spells take on a Sunwalker aesthetic feel to them, whatever that might look like.
Really I’d prefer entirely unique race classes, but I doubt that’d ever happen.
I dont know why, but the continued threads for a Dark Ranger, and Necromancer just make me irrationally angry.
The one focused on Archery is… You guessed it… a Marksmanship Hunter.
They could work a hunter spec, like old ranged Survival, but with Shadow Magic Instead of explosive shot, and bring back Black arrow. Then slap a Dark Ranger title on the spec and there you go.
But Come On. Just make an Edgelord Mog for yourself and play MM
Dragonhunter: Hybrid Class. Uses ranged or melee or both. Not designed as a Archer type class.
Warrior: Can used ranged, but is not designed as a Ranged archer type class. It is primarily designed as a melee dps, but can use bows.
Ranger: Designed as an archer type class.
Squig Herder: Archer Class that focuses on pets
Shadowhunter: Not Shadowhunter. Its Shadow Warrior. And can use ranged or melee. But it is ideally was used as a melee class.
Engineer: Mid/Short Range DPS. Throws bombs, grenades, explosives and uses ranged weapon.
So… we have BM hunter. And Survival Hunter.
They can use the weapons, but are designed as a class, then can use multiple weapon types.
Out of what you listed, there are only really Two Archer Type classes. The rest are classes with identity that can used a ranged weapons. They are not ranged, archer type classes.
Warhammer and Dark Age of Camelot did have multiple archer type classes. DAoC had 3. One per faction. Warhammer had 3. One per faction. WoW shares classes with Factions.
I would like to see another RDPS class. But Dark Ranger aint it. Maybe add a ranged DPS spec to Demon Hunter. Where they throw glaives that return, and empower them to do cool things.
As I said earlier. It could be another spec of hunter. But there is too much cross over with other classes and specs to try to make a Dark Ranger. Sub Rogue. MM Hunter mostly.
I understand you want to be an emo’d out hunter. But Dark Ranger is where it needs to be. Simply a sub spec to hunter. Nothing more.
I mean enough that is Dark Ranger theme. This is probably the most we are gonna get. A skin tone and some heroic talents. We already have wailing arrow. They had black arrow, silence, life drain and charm in the RTS games. I’d like a banshee talent. But other than that, they weren’t that set apart from regular hunter.
Warthin tumor is a relatively frequent and benign neoplasm of the major salivary glands. It is histologically characterized by a dense lymphoid stroma and a double layer of oncocytic epithelium with a papillary and cystic architectural pattern. Its etiology remains uncertain.
