New Class: Tinker

Tinker class.

Playable by Goblins and Gnomes. Specs available are Tank, Ranged DPS, Combat Medic.

Wears Mail Armor.

Spec uses ranged weapons(basically as a stat stick) w attack animations using different Partical Rifles, Emp weapons and other tech based weapons and gadgets.

Tank spec resource is fuel and utilizes a customizable Mech Suit to pilot around in combat, absorbing and mitigating damage with various shield and technology. Employs variety of gadgets including Smoke Bombs, Experimental Lasers and an assortment of Explosives

DPS spec uses Guns, Bows and Crossbows along with a small deployable mechanical drone that attacks targets. Main DPS cooldown pulls out and wields a large Pulse Rifle or other Large weapon of Mass Destruction.

Healing spec heals via healing drones(think Kid Ultra from Battleborn) along with a special targetable Nanite Healing Serum that accelerates tissues healing.

*Im not super creative but this is just a basic idea. I would love to hear more suggestions and talk about ways to play/implement said class.

Thought and prayers? Insults? Discuss!

i fully support the addition of Tinker class, and if they keep on limiting the class/race combos, then do agree that it should be Gobby n Gnomes only.

Are we on this again? Was wondering when this would get brought up again.

I think because the players discovered Mechagon, it should be playable for all races. They can implement it within the lore as the players who were recently a class decided to change into a Tinker.

Was just thinking how nice it was to not see another one of these threads again. :expressionless:

I dislike Tinkers and believe Blizz will remove Engineering if they implemented this class. I also dislike them because it’s become obnoxious to see these threads constantly. Stupid? Probably. But I don’t care.

Uh

Are they that bad of a shot?

Can we possibly universally decide to name change tinker to something else? I know everyone calls it that, it’s what they’re known as, but it’s such a lame name for a class. :sweat_smile:

Cooldown on healing… CD cooldown 3 minutes.

And yet here you are.

That kind of monkey’s paw and the ensuing chaos would be beautiful.

Giving my opinion. Your comment made no sense.

That narcissism can’t just take a break hey?

If you really didn’t care, you’d just close the thread and keep living your life. You take the time out of your day to spew that drivel because in reality, you really do care. That, or you just think the community revolves around your input.

but guess what, people like OP and myself might actually like a new class revolved around the Tinker-theme; its unique.

but thank you for gracing us with your golden opinion, your majesty.

Apparently we need unlimited races, classes, and customizations. Instead of quickly selecting a character and actually start playing the game that you’re paying $15/m for, we will spend the next 6 months deciding on what races, then classes, and finally detailed customizations just for one toon. Then I guess it’s on to the alts. Shudder.

Yea I know, some rather do this than actually playing the game. I hope there are not many of you out there. We need to stop with these craziness.

I would have gone Botanist.

Like ro"bot" and yeah. :robot: But yours works too.

Maaaaaybe Orcs and Humans could be taught by their little counterparts but only because Goblins are very unpopular Horde side. Im not sure about Gnomes, but would have to add Humans as parity for Orcs.

Or Maaayheyheyhyeaybe Vulpin since they are kinda’ ingenuitive.

Thanks for the support this is my wow dream class. I’ve wanted somthing like this ever since playing an Engineer in Allods(which was a very amazing and popular Rusian MMO wow clown that did a LOT right with races and classes). Allods even did Bard completely undeniably right in that game making their bard a full on DPS that used a lot of Sonic attacks suck as Dissonance, Disharmony, Solo and Requiem, Sonata, March of War. They also had party buffs such as Overture, Fight Song and Resonance. CC with Lullaby. It was fan-freaking-tastic!

But I digress, this about Tinkers!

We’re on it and it had been brought back up NOW. Enjoy!

This "could’ be doable as a way to introduce it to a wider variety of race since Gob and Gnome are a relatively small percent of players whom enjoy them(Gobbo love here!)

Fore sure, yeah.

/continue discussion thread!

Hey, fella, you can always just literally NOT click on the Thread, I mean, seems like that would solve your problem.

However thanks for the bump in an amazing discussion thread for people that would love to see Tinker brought to life in game.

Also, they wouldn’t remove Engineering if they introduced a class that directly supports it. If anything it would be an optimal time to re-embrace the Engineering Profession.

I don’t see an excessive amount of Tinker threads, I see them here and there. I see far more Void Elf need Paladins and Silvermoon and a Void Toggle than anything.

Oops meant range/melee. Will Edit. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Absolutely! If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them.

Perhaps: Tactician, Mechanist, Machinist, Technician(although this would be good for the heal spec).

Actually in the process of just brainstorming there how about Mechanist for Tank, Tactician for DPS and Technician for the Heal spec. Over all they are just called Machinists since they all use machines and gadgets?

Maybe we can build on that with more community suggestions?

Exactly. Here they are. Its okay though because I like Rhielle! Sometimes, well more often that not is a fair assertion.

To be fair, your “opinion” was that you are tired of seeing these threads. Still seems to make more sense to just skip it or even go completely nuclear and completely /Ignore thread…

See my addendum to that in this post above. Screw that Ill re-post it just for you, because I like you. And not just report but further refine a few points.

“Actually, how about ‘Mechanist’ for Tank since they like the Mech Suit, ‘Tactician’ for DPS since they will deploy attack drones, pressure sensors(aka tech traps) and other tactical gadgetry. And ‘Technician’ for the Heal spec. Then over all the class could just be called Machinists since they all use machines and gadgets?”

Most likely. But a dreamer can dream by the gods!

I disagree, unlimited classes and races would be, well way to much although a few new classes introduced, such as Bard, Tinker/Machinist or Dark Ranger would be fantastic.

Also there is the logic that we do need another mail class and another class that used range weapons for balance purpose. Currently that numbers sits and 2 and 1(and out of Hunters only 2 of their specs use ranged).

No no, I assure you I love playing the game. in fact, I love it so much I would like a new Tinker/Machinist class to play even more!

Bah, I cant do that becasue I have plans to write-up a request for Druid Blood Elves at some point. Jebus E. Herman on a crutch, in fact if I had Belf Druid and Goblin Tinker I would literally play nothing else as I would have 2 classes that can tank, heal and DPS!

I would be in warcraft heaven.

Please take me to heaven.

Thanks all for the discussion so far as even the naysayers have points they don’t realize they have inadvertently made in favor of said topic.


Keep that discussion coming mates! Its all love so try and leave the snark and silly trollyness behind(unless ya jus’ like gettin’ trolled back three fold.

Tinker FTWW FOR THE WINWIN!

Or I can give my opinion on the topic as I did.

We were getting one every few days from the DH that used to post them consistently.

True you can and your obviously more than welcome too but your opinion was that you see far too many of these…So…it seems like if that’s the entirety of your opinion you would simply circumvent the whole thing, saving yourself the trouble and just not bother with something that you “see too many off” and “dont care for”. Seems logical,

But illogical off-topic rants are welcome as well.
