New Ranged Class? Tinkers!

I mean. That’s very subjective.
I don’t think there’s much evidence to prove why it’s a bad idea.

Frankly. I think it’s a good idea. But that is also subjective.

The only objective evidence there is suggests that Tinkers are likely.
We have so many assets for mechs, turrets, and weapons just collecting dust.
We have abilities with level requirements and cooldowns, that aren’t used by any existing class.
We even have representatives on exiles reach.

The Evidence doesn’t exist in anyone’s favor. It doesn’t say that they will be a good or bad class. The evidence simply suggests they are likely to be next.
That’s the beauty of objective facts.
People’s opinions don’t matter. Not yours or mine.

I suppose on reflection, we are kinda missing a high-tech class.

I like drumming up hype. I’m a people person.

I love talking with people. Especially about topics I’m passionate about.

So yes: I genuinely believe it is a likely outcome. So I talk about it.

I do like it, and I want other people to get excited.
In my opinion, who wouldn’t want to play an awesome technician in the Hulkbuster suit?

Many people are big into traditional fantasy archetypes though. And more power to them. I think an important part of the WoW universe is how science and fantasy intertwine

Aw. Don’t say those things. You provided legitimate points, and spoke about things that mattered to you.

I appreciate you coming to the thread and keeping it alive.
Have a good night!

No matter how good the concept may be, I fully expect the current WoW team to botch it anyway.

I think if it’s done right, in the spirit of Tinker, with an almost laughably low-tech unreliable look to it, it could work.

I think it’s what I find so interesting in Gnomes and Goblins. They seem so smart with their overly complicated and “blow-up in your face” tech that gives them charm. They’ll go all out and make some crazy machine that can teleport you but a Mage can just open a portal.

Gnomes and Goblins could really get a nice boost from having a class that really points it out.

But that teleporter has one thing the mage doesn’t.

Love.

AND 90000 VOLTS OF PURE GOBLIN INGENUITY!

Alas. I share this worry.
But I’ve played bad classes before just because I love the theme. Tinker would be no exception

Duh, you’re playing a demon hunter. :stuck_out_tongue:

The way they designed havoc annoys me so much, because I’m a huge fan of demon hunters, but have never in my life played a more dull iteration of a WoW class.

Visual flair is pretty much all it has going for it.

To be honest. I was referring to Brewmaster.
Which has been through more painful redesigns and rehashes that it barely feels like the same class.

But hey, good point.

Like I said. I play it for the theme.

As long as Tinkers can tank. I’ll never reroll

Brewmaster’s got more going for it, at least. Legion it had a pretty smooth rotation, don’t know how it worked for BFA because of how alt unfriendly it was, just stuck to my hunter and then switched to shaman/mage for Palace/N’yalotha.

The fact the current WoW team went from MoP this garbage fire that they call Shadowlands just tells me that there’s no hope for any of these fun ideas people have. Morbid curiosity is the only reason this sub is still ticking.

While it is always fun to see a new class added to the game I believe they need to hard focus the classes they already have. One of the best parts of this game are when classes just feel very fun and unique. When you just want to bring the class because it does cool unique things for a fight is great. I’d rather they spend this entire expansion rebalancing and redesigning if necessary classes that just don’t seem good. Bring the class and the player!

I’m right there with ya!

And the content! Actually being involved in a cold war rivalry between the Gnomes and Goblins?! Being some kind of Spec-Op Tinker! Helping to discover new tech for the factions! Lots of fun!

yeah because EVERYONE though the kung fu pandas were a great addition to the game… Right?

I do, and did think they were great.
They were part of Warcraft 3 and now you can play one in WoW.
Just like Death Knight.
Just like Demon Hunter
And hopefully just like Tinker

I didn’t don’t really enjoy Death Knight and demon Hunter that much because they’re just so edgy. This one in particular is an RP character for the most part. With a story and everything.

I love monk because of how much it adds to the universe.

I agree. And I Hope shadowlands does focus on improving classes since it isn’t adding any new ones.

However. I don’t think new classes really inhibit balance. I really think it’s a lack of focus on blizzards part.
Since we get so few balance patches every expansion, regardless of a new class or not

ok, let’s try this again.
you might see them all over in bfa content, but where are PLAYERS using said technology vs. another player? (unimaginable that you have to go back and be that specific for someone to comprehend)

added:
y’all complain so much about how blizzard can’t balance classes… how the hell you think they’ll manage to balance some player wearing bed sheets to attack and kill another player running around in a tank?! get real.

O.o

o.O

O.O
but that doesn’t mean the next class will be either.
