Instead of a New Class

What about class skins? Personally I’d love to play a battle magic class something mixing a warrior/rogue and a mage. However I just don’t see what a new class could offer that hasn’t been added to the game. I know there’s a minority of people who want tinker, maybe give hunter a class skin for tinker. Maybe Enhance could have a battle-mage class skin. We could get a spell breaker skin for paladins and so on. Just seems like a cool idea, idk.

Class skins make sense, I’d like them to do more with cosmetic glyphs (and let glyphs apply to certain loadouts but not others).

I think they wouldn’t do this cause “It’d be confusing for PvP” I would love this though, like blueish holy magic for priests that comes from Elune

Great, you just gave them an idea for $20 animation packs in the shop.

You mean $100

Not going to be a thing. There are already 13 classes with concrete themes, and they’re not going to pour resources into giving a few of them visual overlays that supplant said theme. And as an expansion selling point, the ability to play a warlock who summons things other than demons, but is mechanically the same otherwise, is not a substitute for a class that can do something differently.

Hunter wouldn’t play like a tinker just because both use guns.

Tinkers, would mostly play like evokers with empowered abilities.

Hunters class is married to the pet, tinkers wouldn’t.

What about realistic class balance for the classes we currently have?

Wouldn’t that be cool?

There are a lot of classes I’d love to see, but cosmetic overhauls, animation updates, new optional effects and maybe new baseline specs with different roles would be pretty cool.

Would be cool if there was an Off Hand item using another Shield appearance. :robot::thought_balloon:
