An Engineer class will be added to the game? I feel the Island Expedition AI NPCs hint at such a class!

It’s possible. There is also the new Mechagon zone opening up in 8.2 which could further the story for a possible engineering based class.
I’d be happy just being able to farm some mats for that stupid mount.
One specialization could be like a gun version of the enhancement shaman, one could control dozens of robots and drones to do their bidding, and one could use a giant mech to destroy and or tank
Gonna be called a mechromancer.
I’m of the opinion that both the engineering profession and a “tinker” class existing at the same time would be redundant, and I don’t see them removing engineering for the sake of this. Basically all of the ideas people have for the class are aesthetic variations of what other classes have anyway (mainly hunters).
FWIW I don’t actually think swapping engineering from a profession into a class would be a bad idea if they could come up with a unique enough class (I can’t). The profession has gotten progressively more useless over time. Just turn the relevant stuff into toys and mounts from other sources. But I don’t think -Blizzard- would be willing to do it, and certain whiny people would probably cry about it.
No, I think maybe they should just FIX the professions first? There is no need for an “Engineer Class”, when instead they could just fix the profession.
