Why does everyone want a tinker? It’s a profession, not a class. You could give everything it has to engineering as fun gadgets. Make engineering actually fun again

Tinker, Necromancer, and Dark Ranger are the only 3 classes that are possible to exist in this game as far as I know.

I wouldn’t get too excited, we were due a new row of talents at 120. Should’ve been easy, but they couldn’t even figure that out. Let’s see if they even announce a new expac first. They appear to be out of innovative ideas.

I can’t be bothered with another class when the current ones bore me. I’d love a class/combat revamp + talent tree reveal for 9.0. Can’t stand how stagnant this game is with it’s devs and half the people just wanting past iterations of things.

Two one handed guns with 1/2 the range of rifles/bows. It would be cool and let them have a one handed weapon for close range, like hit a button to switch back and forth, like classic hunters did, since they couldn’t fire close and had wingclip, but let them keep shooting if they want.

Inb4 another melee mongo

yes it is a problem though.
you see raids tend to favor taking more ranged then melee to begin with.
so yeah - next class should be ranged only.

That is the most ludicrous idea ever…worse than gnomes, and I am not joking.

Dragonsworn. AoE healer. Buff-based tank. RDM-style DPS.

I honestly wish they’d focus on current classes, and overhaul a few of them. It keeps the game fresh without adding more specs to balance

I think their constant overhauling also creates a disconnect between the players and the game. Particularly the more-casual crowd. I can’t tell you how many returning players I’ve spoken to - many of whom I talked into returning - that were instantly discouraged when they had no idea how to play a character they spent years on.

Needs to be mail, since currently every other armor type is saturated as fugg.

Tinkerer is high on my list of predictions if they even make another class.

After that, leywalker

The phrasing is perfect. :laughing:

It also needs to be thematic. And I highly doubt we’ll ever get a Goblin/Gnome-centric expansion.

I’d love a Necromancer class, but I know quite a few death knights and warlocks that take umbrage with that suggestion, and I don’t blame them. Nobody wants to see their main class stripped for parts for the sake of creating a new one, which is what happened to locks when Death Knights/Demon Hunters were added. If they could go beyond making it just a “ranged Unholy Death Knight” though, I’d give everything to get to play one.

I personally want them to fix existing classes. As we all learned, new class would be overpowered, and everyone would play it, and it would draw resources and overload the lore and game systems.

I’ll take a new class as long as it’s not another grimdark edgelord. We already got dks and dhs. Something with a nicer aesthetic would be cool.

I’d actually prefer they focus on their broken classes that have been bad for awhile now. Arcane mage for example has been bottom and bottom 3 for 2 expansions now and Fire isn’t in a good spot and Frost is okay. It is funny how Locks, Rogues and Druids have 2 specs dps parcing higher than 1 mage and hunter spec.

So yeah, for me, I rather see an overhaul on specs that really need it and work on balancing vs adding yet another class.

If it’s a ranged DPS class, sure welcome no problem.

We don’t need more melee.
