So here is the thing. Just by looking at the videos about tinkers and looking at what I see in game. I can easily see tinkers being the next class far more than I can see others. I think it would be great class to use for mail armor and guns, bows etc. They could make them like the Monk or Druid class , a tank spec, a heal spec and one or two dps spec like a long range combat with guns and bows and another with close range two hand combat, but, for me, to be a good class it would have to be more then goblins/gnomes that could actually be this class. More like the DK and the Monks, not like DH who only had two races to it because then that would suck and classes wouldnât feel fun anymore. For the Horde, I can see Orcs, Undead,(Tauren and Trolls hard to see), Blood Elves (with the Arcane Guardians), Goblins, Nightborn (for same as blood elves), Magâhar Orcs, (High Mountain Tauren for same reason as brethren) and Zandalari Trolls. For the Alliance, I see Humans, Dwarfs, Gnomes, Draenei, Void Elves, Lightforged Draenei, Dark Iron Dwarfs and Kul 'Tiran humans. Worgens possibly and Night elves not really. Please let me hear your thoughts.
Ok, here is my thought about âTinkersâ:

No
Yeah this guy doesnât understand anything about Activblizz whereâs the time played MUA for this? Oh itâs not gonna make them a lot of money? Then it doesnât make the cut.
I would not be excited about any class named Tinker.
I would rather have Wardens and Shadow Hunters.
It would be really funny if they release a hero class that no one wants.
I still think the next class is going to be a Dark Ranger.
Theyâve been more active in the last two xpacs (this one and Legion.)
I think the raising of Dark Ranger nelves on Darkshore is to explain how Alliance will get them.
And before someone says something derpy like âlol we donât need two bow classes!â, I guess we donât need four 2h mace classes or 8 1h sword classes either, do we? Also, before someone says another derpy thing like âtheyâre just like Hunters!â, please watch the BfA trailer and tell me which Hunter spec can use shadow magic and scream like a banshee. Iâll help you out and let you know it ainât BM.
âŚsaid all kinds of people about dks, monks and dhsâŚ
Ok, then⌠you are supposed to use that ENTER key once in a while.
Oh, you meant the âtinkerâ idea? Well, if it does happen, say goodbye to engineering as a profession. Also, not sure why would tinkers use bows, guns maybe, but bows seem out of place for a class that has a knack for technological gadgets.
I do not know. I would think the tinker class would be like Gnome Mech King. No guns, just robotic suit like Iron Man. Of course that would be over powered. So, I was hoping for Shadow Hunters, Wardens, decent polished classes for our own classes.
Then there is if people will come back for the next expansion. This is going to be in another expansion, so I do not know if I would come back for it.
Okay. I understand why many would not want that as a class and why some may want it but Iâm just trying to be positive. Everyone has their own opinion.
I could easily be wrong and they could bring something you want or something new instead out of nowhere.
The truth is that itâs really all up to Activblizz but I feel we really need another mail armor class in game. One that can tank at least.
Donât you agree?
I like the idea. Any time gnomes and goblins get love in the lore and gameplay, I like seeing it. We got new races in this expansion, so weâll get a new class in the next one. I know people are super excited for Dark Rangers, but Iâm actually happy about the prospect of a tinker class.
Horde: Goblin, Undead, Belf, and Darkspear Troll
*I just donât see it making sense for any of the Horde-side allied races to be tinkers. The orcs have always relied on the goblins for all their tech and spikes and design. They just donât do that kind of work themselves. The Nightborne would fancy themselves above it, and the moose cows are nature-based. They donât really go the machinist route.
Alliance: Gnome, Dwarf, Human, and Dark Iron
*I donât see Nelves doing this for the same reason I donât see Nightborne doing it. Maybe (they craft war machines all the time). The Dranei, both blue and light zealots, wouldnât fit. Void elves make no sense there either. Worgen? Well, I like to forget Worgen are in the game. More power to my Worgen-loving fellow players, but I just think everything about them is unappealing. Not sure if tinkering fits a Worgen or not, but it doesnât seem so.
I wonder what rep and questlines are tied to unlocking the Tinker class.
I agree with you, Tovi. I am tired of hearing that âlol, theyâre just huntersâ excuse. I feel that Dark Rangers are being setup pretty heavily and hereâs a post where I detail why I think so.
Dark Rangers would be a mail armor wearing, bow wielding class which we need more of since hunters are the only class that uses guns, bows, and crossbows. If added, DRs would also make the third mail wearing class along with hunters and shaman. Contrary to the opinions of some, Dark Rangers do have a unique theme and aesthetic from that of hunters. They also have a considerable amount of popularity and are fairly popularly requested.
I donât mean any offence but If you can see Belf becoming tinkers then thereâs no reason why Void elves canât become that too because they are in a way the same race.
Think about it. They could learn from the gnomes just like the Belf from goblins.
Plus they could learn how to make a better home now that they are exiled or they could learn it to actully plan on making Silvermoon a better place (when they one day, questionably) reclaim it for the Alliance.
Also Void Tech, think about that, just like the Army of Lightâs Lightforge Warframes on Argus.
Iâve never played regular Warcraft, but would be interesting to see what the three specs would look like for a dark ranger. Also how that would impact MM for hunters.
It would be cool having a third mail class and another that uses ranged weapons primarily other than just hunters.
We have a mecha-gnome area and mega dungeon on the way.
A gnome king seriously injured and in frozen suspension, who will probably be saved by becoming part machine.
Most likely some kind of mecha-gnome allied race in the near future.
So I wouldnât be terribly surprised to see the Tinker class coming with the pre-purchase of 9.0, to level during the 9.0 pre-patch.
I hope we get a Tinkerer/Inventor class that is available to all races.
Thatâs interesting idea youâve got. That could easily be part the story coming in the future of the expansion.
Though Mecha-Gnomes could probably be an add on to regular gnomes instead of an allied race, like the Night Elveâs Nightwarrior thing or Blood Elveâs Golden eyes.
Just saying probably.
