Pre-patch is around the corner. If you could completely delete one class from this game and have it still feel EXACTLY the same, which would you delete?
I’m switching to Monk in Midnight - but sheesh, here is a class you could completely delete and noone would notice, the game wouldn’t feel different at all.
Demon hunter.
I want meta back
And I will never forgive blizz nerfing demo to the ground to make room for DH.
Then rubbing it in our face by having not one but 2 of our demonology followers using metamorph.
Evoker.
The healing spec is completely useless, it’s tied to one of the most ugliest models in the game (scaly bait) and the two damage specs could have easily been new mage specs.
My first instinct is to say “Hunter”. Unfortunately my dad loves hunter thematically, and playstyle wise, so if i ever did have the ability to delete a class, i couldnt do that to him.
So Paladin. I’d settle with just deleting Ret if it came to it, but i’ll take the whole class with no qualms
I totally sympathise with your choices but they’re kind of iconic classes. I guess Horde went one whole xpac without paladins - and, as for hunters, I never see anyone specifically say “we need a hunter” so maybe they wouldn’t be missed after all. Hmm, have to think about it.
I hated meta so much and love the post Legion direction of demo so much more.
As to what class I’d remove? Evoker. Just dont find them fun.
I’d delete all the added classes.
DKs just stole jobs, monks are silly, DH are a visual clutter nuisance, and evokers have all the flavor of styrofoam.
I misunderstood what you were getting at 
. I thought you were saying that removing them would be done in a way that the game felt the same way with their removal!
If i have to remove a class that leaves the game feeling the exact same? I’d say Rogue.
They’ve had very little impact over the story overall, excluding maybe legion but even then they were in the background, removing them wouldnt change the feel of the game basically at all (unless you’re a PVPer)
I understand the first response of DH… because it was just created by gutting an already established class. I feel that.
But to really just nuke a class from orbit?? Easiest, most obvious decision in the game:
PALADIN
You misread the, literally, hundreds of groups that say right in the title:
NEED LUST
You have no idea how many Hunters are brought to groups because, not only is their DPS just fine no matter how bad they are, but THEY .. HAVE … LUST.
Evoker would effect the fewest players. The game soldiered on for 20 years without them. I venture it could go another 20 without too much difficulty.
I love Monk, but it wouldn’t be significantly missed.
+1
It feels like a safe pick because ‘how bad can someone really be at BM Hunter and they have lust’ is real.
Demon Hunter is the only class I have never had any interest in whatsoever, it could be deleted and not bother me in slightest.
But it also doesn’t bother me that it does exist and I have no reason to want it gone. Many people like it.
I feel ya on the meta form. Theirs is entirely different both literally and visually. Never should have taken it away.
But I would delete Paladins on a heartbeat. Never met a skilled paladin, just a lot of face rolls, blizzard handholding them as their favourite class for 20 years, and sheer dumb luck… No thought goes into playing paladin, just play glowing-button-Whack-A-Mole and top the charts.
Also, I’ve yet to meet a paladin that isn’t a pretentious, selfish, self-righteous $#$@!**?! @?$!$@?? #!#! REEEEEE I HATE PALADINS. Literally the only unfun class in the game for me.
I’m at the point where I retired all my first characters and made new characters of each class, so I am just here for the mog. Used to raid lead and PVP with my guildies and even led a m+ group for years.
Now? Just transmog, so if I have to go to mythic difficulty, I will but only just long enough to get the mog I want lol. Any class or spec…
EXCEPT PALADIN. My paladin is lucky they even exist for the purposes of completionism, let alone gets played lol
I agree Demon Hunter.
Not so much for my own personal bias towards them.
But for the fact that they just stole everything from every other class and made it better, stronger, faster.
Monk mobility? Demon hunters- we’ll take dat.
Rogue attack speed, cc, being able to SEE stealth? Demon hunters - don’t mind if i do.
goblin being the only one with a mobility enhancement and literally every other mobility but better? Demon hunters - its mine now,
Their mobility is so good dractyr took some of it and its so good shadow priest is bis with dractyr is pvp because it makes up for shadow priests lack of mobility.
They just do what other classes do but way better. Their mobility is like from a different game they are in another level lol
But i guess thats just lore accurate.
As i’m sure you can tell i’m a pvper and i hate fighting demon hunters lol
Evoker 100%. The only class that I could NEVER get into.
Honest answer? Evoker.
I will never play it, ever. It’s just a dragon-themed mage. (Mages in Season of Discovery could heal using time magic, and Evokers do just that.)
It’s just not for me, and to make things worse it is race-locked. The visage form being limited to an ‘elf-thing’ ruined it for me.
I don’t think any race-locked class is all that amazing with the exception of Druids.
Augmentation was a failed experiment, anyway.
There’s several reasons why I’d remove them.
After that, probably DHs, since they are basically a Warlock + a Rogue. And very limited in terms of which races can play them, still.
If you don’t like a class, don’t play it. Leave it to those that do like it.
Evoker or DH, DH just feels like it borrowed a lot from other classes just to scrape together two specs, and Void DH is just kinda… antithetical to a Demon Hunter? Evoker feels like a Mage, with some dragon stuff thrown in or a Monk/Druid for healing specs.
Deleting anything else feels like WoW would actually lose something: Warlocks are dark Mages with pets that actually contribute something to WoW and alongside Rogues and DKs gives folks options to be less morally upright characters in setting, Rogues fill the classical common street fighter/thief niche, Monks are clearly the martial arts class most genres have, Hunters are the ranged weapon and pet class among other tropes, Paladins are well…Templars and holier than thou sorts, Priests are the bible study group and religious folks, Warriors allow for the barbarian and strong guy with a weapon nice, etc. Evoker and DH feel the most redundant if that makes sense besides Priest and Paladin having so much overlap.
Evoker. It’s basically a meme class. No one will really miss it all that much. Hand out some free 80 boosts to the 17 people that it will affect.
