It's time WoW had another ranged attack class/spec

We have 2 specs in the game that could be classified as ranged attack. One could even argue that that one of them is a semi-caster.

Frankly, this is too few.

Adding another non-casting, ranged attack spec or class would be dynamic and exciting.

It’s time.

My vote for any plausible physical ranged spec would be Monks and Rogues.

I happen to know a class with only 2 specs that would work very well with a 3rd spec that was ranged dps.

Always found it surprising that DH never had that.

Granted!

But the class can only equip and throw bananas/banana peel traps.

Ook ook! :hear_no_evil:

Oh, wait. Is this not corrupt a wish?

A throwing weapon based class would be neat actually.

Agreed. I just posted in another thread how I think survival should’ve been that with throwing spears instead of bombs but still hybrid melee/ranged.

I know you’re probably talking about a separate purely ranged class which’d be cool too.

The SL Maldraxxus / recently removed hunter talent Death Chakram would be a great start for a DH third spec since their glaives already fit the animation of the talent. Be interesting to actually see a very mobile mid to long range spec zipping around the battle field throwing their glaives with pinpoint accuracy.

I’ve been saying it since 2010.

Death Knight Bonemancer.

There are no plate dps caster specs. Yes, dks use bones, but barely.

I want to see them full blown cast bone based spells like bone spear, bone prison. Etc. Diablo 2 style, but modernized with more flair.

Tinker class confirmed.

I would use word play, instead of Bonemancer, why not mixing chiropractor and crypt together? Cryptopractor? Eh… feels about the same lol.

In WC2 there are Troll ax throwers, I figured they would have added them when they brought the Zandalari into the game.

Guess not.

they litterally just added 2 ranged characters in general man. Who actually cares if they are ranged attack or whatever.

Yes, Tinker is the way.

Auto turret with dual wielding pistols and a mechanical only pet.

Make it happen Blizzard.

I would just rework Rogue.

Let them shoot poison darts from their wrist and expand on Grappling Hook. Right now DK is the only class that has grip mechanics designed for them in the raids, Morgan was talking about it in an interview.

Basically, let Outlaw Grappling Hook onto the ceiling like Spider-Man and while they are there they are counted as Stealthed. Let them grapple mobs to them, grapple players to them and give them an ability that lets them grapple to mobs and swing around them like Qhira from HotS while doing taser damage. The Grappling Hook can be a taser or something that has poisons, also possibly even explosives attached to it.

Rogue isn’t doing enough. It’s like the Rogue fantasy designer had a lobotomy or something.

Kinda wild we have like 5 weapon types literally only 2 specs (per weapon type) in the game can use

Razer: DH ranged glaive-thrower.

I find wands crazy.

We used to have 3 specs that were ranged physical DPS, but someone at Blizz decided we needed yet another melee spec.
