Let’s be honest, nothing we say or do right now will effect 10.0, but these are my top 3:
Bard
Necromancer
Tinker/Morter
Bard is already pretty well established in The Warcraft lore, kind of…What I mean by that is, Sound Magic is already in the game, so the Bard doesn’t even need to be the instrument playing type, it could just simply be a player that uses sound magic.
Sound has many capabilities, it can Sooth, Hype, Damage (ear drums), Stun/Incapacitate, Heal, Detect Invis/Find Objects (Sonar) and create Barriers.
A Bard could easily have a DPS, Heal and Tank Spec, and could be a much needed 3rd Mail class.
given that they already had necromancers available but scrapped it i think it was in WOTLK or something? don’t recall i know they scrapped it though. plus the scourge issue in azeroth back in BfA.
other then that i mean i can assume tinker which is the most realistic one lore wise atm imo since what BfA? but even jists of it prior for a LONG time.
if dragon expac then i can only assume we will get a druid like class but dragon related. meaning a tanking spec, range dps, healer, and melee dps. i mean all dragon aspects kinda cover those anyways.
Part of me wants it, but another part of me wants them revamp the class design for 10.0 and go back to MoP. You know, learn what made the flow tick in that expansion and how the current class design can be loosened a bit for the sake of fun.
But if they were to make a new class I would love a tinker kind of class that could summon turrets and stuff. Although they’ll probably never make a pure passive turret based class, because it would be too overpowered. But I feel like it could be a unique gameplay.
You lay down turrets and spend the rest of the time supporting the party, as a healer maybe, or a support dps person. Imagine, if your buffs are strong enough to increase others throughput by 20%-30%, to offset your own lack of dps. Or maybe like a utility support that occupies healer slot, buffs others self-healing, and concentrates on utility and some dps instead. Would probably be a nightmare to balance though.
I see this argument a lot, but it makes very little sense to me.
The “new team” has been around since WoD. We simply would not have been getting expansion after expansion that relied heavily on nostalgia for existing WoW staples if this were the case.
Even if we did get a dragon isles-themed expansion, I would expect it to play heavily into the lore of dragons that has been around since Wrath and Cata. So what “book” are they closing, exactly?
