New Class Suggestion: Engineer- "The Mechanitor"

Hello, here is a suggestion for a new class in a future DLC.

  • The Mechanitor -

Story : The Mechanitor are “engineer” who fleed Orgrimmar and flew up to the moon ( yep ) in order to fulfill their dream as to build the perfect machine or sciences in peace. They didn’t want to join the war between Alliances and Hordes so decided to build a Gigantic Rocket and live on the moon somewhere… far away from war…

However, one day, one of the Engineer’s son in Law ( or daughter in Law ) got captured by one of X’alatath’ goons and was put in a prison with a Death Row penalty…

The Head Engineers of the Mechanitor Council gathered to discuss if they should rescue their newphews and nieces trap in this evil scheme.

They decided they will fight and help.

What is this class consist of?

This class would consist of having a MECH assisting you ( their greatest invention they’ve build so far + your best friend as well if I may say ) which will be operated ( Ai Passive automation ) by the Mechanitor. You can let it help you ( passively ) OR you can “enter” the Mech to become “one” with it ( Gundam style ) and become more powerful. However, there would be a drawback and/or Benefits for both choices.

A) If the Mech assist you, it will be able to kill mobs or targets ( just like a Demonoloy Pet or hunter Pet ) while using Laser beam, Rifle bullets, Photo canon, EMP attacks, or anything that you can think of. His “global CD” will be a lil bit more slower then any other class pet… BUT his power will be stronger then any other Pet as well.

The Mech is HUGE , STRONG, TANKY … but SLOW. Meaning, is main drawback would be his overall speed ( walking, moving, casting spells/abilities ).

However, the BENEFITS would also be great. If the MECH gets to hit you, the damage would be “considerable”. There would be an animation per weapon spell which would help players in PvP to “avoid” that attack. Like I said… it is powerful… but “slow”. So easy to avoid in PvP. ( if you pay attention to the animation that is… )

BUT… if you miss avoiding it = GG :slight_smile:

The Mechanitor ( The Engineer ) himself would have it’s own set of weaponry or spells/abilities.

Ex: The Mechanitor can use a “flamethrower”, or a Pistol laser, or Grenade Launcher … or anything you can think of.

The Mech can be a DPS, HEALER or TANK. All with 3 different talent tree skills points.
The Engineer would also have his own talent points… but it’s really the MECH talent points that will matter most.

Spells & Abilities

The MECH can:
1- Create multiple “drones” to assist as DPS, or Healing
2- Create turrets on the ground ( up to 5 ). Each turrets can have different weapon abilities. From Laser, CC, Flames, throwing Net, Rifle, Bombs, Canons, 'sleeping spells ), and simple full DPS abilities for either Single target or AOE targets.
3- Fly up in the sky to hide from imminent attacks while dropping “missiles” to anyone in the area below him
4- BLEND with the Engineer to become ONE ( merge ) like a Gundam for 15 sec ( more or less ) and become the ULTIMATE futuristic machine of destruction. ( FYI: You just want to run away when you see this ultimate… trust me. Just like Havoc Demon hunter when they use Metamorphosis technically.
5- Throw grenades for massive AOE dmg
6- Throw Missiles for direct single target.
7- Fly from one spot to another ( 20-40 range )
8- Drill a hole underground ( underground attack ) and re-appear somewhere else.
9- Teleport ( phase attacks ) Star Trek Style.
10- Carry a Sword and a Shield for close encounter. Why not? @@

Multiple Skins ( t-mog ) could be added to have a unique appearance of our Mech and Mechanitor.

This is just an idea. If you do chose to do this, I will be in heaven. I’ll pay whatever price you put in that DLC. Thanks.

I’ll get right on it.

(I’m a Mechagnome so this is my specialty).

That sounds like Tinkers with extra steps.

Borderlands 2 & 3 are >>>>That way.

Seriously, this sounds EXACTLY like the Mechromancer (Gage) in B2 and the Gunner (Moze) in B3. NOT really something that has a place in WoW though.

Tinkers doesn’t have a Mech Companion to assist them.

Nah, how about we make engineering viable for all content again?
