Now I’m wondering how a new class would work leveling through Legion. Unless it starts at 110, I suppose.

I hope that they would take the time to fix current classes and add in character progression abilities after level 80.

It will sound like a bug zapper going off when they are in a battleground.

Next class would be Lawyer, Cloth tank-dps-healer, the tank reduce their opponent damage by threating to sue them. Dps is using paperwork to deal damage, healer is insurance based .

It should be range, but it won’t.

They’ve added three melee specs:

DK (able to tank and DPS)

Monk (able to DPS, tank, and heal)

DH (able to DPS and tank)

Meanwhile, they added zero range DPS specs, and actually made one range spec into a melee spec.

So, they’ve added/creates four melee specs, while removing a range spec, and never adding one.

At some point, range players deserve some love. FF14 has added tanks, healers, mellee specs, in addition to four new range specs! ESO is adding necromancer!

What is Blizzards averaion to range specs bevause it’s not shares by its competitors.

It’s pretty simple actually, they just use the order halls of the other classes.

For example:

  1. Shadow Hunters/Wardens can simply use the hunter or rogue ones
  2. Tinkers could choose between the mage(tech is basically magic trope) or warrior(titans are arcane tech trope) one
  3. Bards could use the mage order hall(sound magic and all)
  4. Battle mages could like tinkers use the mage or warrior one too because they are technically both

EDIT: alright i fixed it jeez

We’ve actually LOST a ranged dps spec since Vanilla, and gained FIVE melee dps specs.

Not sure what Blizzard was thinking.

If and its probably at this point going to be a big if. They come out with a new class, it will be something that has already been seen in the game as a active NPC. Not just pulled out of thin air and having no lore to it in game.

When it comes to fixing the current classes no matter what they do to them no one will ever be 100% happy with it. So that can not be a soul and only vision in the Dev’s bag of tricks for the next xpac. People have complained about the classes for as long as I been playing this game and that has been for many many years now.

But dreams as they say are free, so dream on.

I would rather them focus on the classes we already have. Hell, I would rather them make each class have its own racial flavor actually show in game. Different spell casting effects, name of class, and ect.

Could easily incorporate an axe thrower spec to warrior, demolition spec to rogues and ect. But that’s just me.

the player base today is insane

Oh people have been saying this since Death Knights were added.

I dont think there will be a class announcement for the next xpac. They will break the mold. They already have major issues trying to balance what they have.

Off topic, but are you wearing a muzzle?
