MEGA THREAD: The Last Titan, Tinker Popular Demand

Community General Discussion

This is it everybody. It’s not or never. The World Soul Saga is the culmination of 20 years of WoW.

No other class has had the demand that tinkers have had since vanilla, yet they’ve always been shafted despite the sheer amount of diverse tech fantasy in game.

Well not that we’re at the cusp of the of the epic finale of the past 20 years, what better time than the conclusion in The Last Titan to final introduce the final bastion of combat archetypes that WoW is missing.

TWW already has a ton of techy themes and it’s about to explode even more in a few months when 11.1 releases.

Use this thread to plead your Tinker ideas or anything that’ll make a high tech class a reality.

Personally, I hope we get a static mech combat class, to help it stand out from engineering better.

The Tech fantasy is so diverse that I fully believe this class could ship out with four playable specs.

For example…

Tank: Siege:

Pilot a fortified mech to protect your allies from harm

Healing: Medic:

Pilot a mech equiped with the lastest in healing tech to keep your allies combat ready.

Ranged DPS: Artillery:

Pilot a destructive mech to wreak mayhem across the battle field with assorted bombs, missiles, mechanical minions and rays.

Assault: Melee DPS

Utilize a deadly tinker arm pack equiped with plasma cutters and saw blades descimate your foes inelee.range

Hero Specs.

Artificer:

Medic and Siege

Ace Pilot:

Medic and artillery

Magi-tech:

Artillery and Assault

Junker:

Siege and assault

Those are just some ideas I quickly, though up. I’m sure others more creative than me could think up something even better.

Make it happen, Bliizz! The time for tinkers is now!

I’m not going to be throwing ideas out because I would be spoiling myself too much.

I just want them to happen. Make Tinkers the exact opposite of Druids.

I’m not going to throw all my own specific ideas out there either, I just want the class to happen.

My only major requests would be to not lock it to only goblin/gnome, and if they really had to do the mech thing (prefer not), have at least one ranged dps spec doesn’t use the mech and focuses on guns, flamethrower, grenades, turrets, lightning canon, etc.

This, should be all races

says who? Certainly not me. Especially if you have to be a gnome/goblin. Both races are nightmare fuel.

Animals that turn into people?! Sign me up!

Here for the hype! Let’s go Tinker Train!

Suddenly new class… The Bunny Hugger!

Here’s a fun idea…

Whether mech combat is a cd or static, allow tinkers the idea to customize their mech to appear like all available mech mounts.

Let’s go GMOD, baby

And each mech models has its own animation for a specific attack.

Let’s say it’s some kind of beam…

GMOD would throw out an azerite beam, the fel reaver would throw a fel beam, the light forged Warframe a holy beam, etc etc

This is too much.

It doesn’t need four specs.

I think a ranged dps and tank spec is plenty

11

A minimum of three specs a given. A healing spec is more than doable.

I say four spec though because a Melee mech or arm pack seems like common sense

12

True.

No class has ever had such little demand that Blizzard literally released 4 classes that no one asked for instead.

13

This is only Part of what I want.

14

You think tinkers would have fit better than dks, monks, dh, and evokers for their respective narratives?

15

Definitely not.

Tinkers are just hunters with extra steps.

Kinda like Mechagnomes.

16

IMO, and you didn’t ask me heh, but I think tinker has more narrative standing than both monk and Evoker. When was the last time we gave a bolt about monks and their needs/interests?

17

Except they’re not.

They have overlap, similar to say, mages and shaman.

But a wilderness master and techy are very different fantasies

18

It’d be kinda cool if they could build mechs that fight alongside them but well not be like hunters. Like one mech is one they ride in themselves and they can build support and combat bots to basically follow them around, a medic bot that only heals fellow mechs but a spec that makes it so those healer bots can heal teammates but maybe only one at a time… idk…ideas for them but I’m wondering do I want mech buddies or my person to jump into the equivalent of a carrier from Starcraft and have mini strike fighters fight for me. I mean you know someone’s going to ask for combat mechs to fly at some point but we don’t want them being too OP as people would complain a ton more than normal

Yea that’s why nobody wants them.

If they add a new class, it’s not gonna be an “Aluminum Hunter who’s pets eat gasoline instead of Food”.

I’d rather they made a Bard class that played all kinds of instruments, could buff a team and could stand on their own while solo, too.
