That is not a guarantee, but if it is my choice is Bard as a ranged dps and heal or ANY kind of cloth spell ranged caster. No melee. No tinker. No tank.

I would like to see a Psionic (Esper) class. I also would love Ethereals as a playable race.

I feel like the next expansion needs to satisfy one of two conditions, if not both:

  • Add a new ranged class to the game
  • Add a second ranged+tank combo to the game

I prefer if it was a new class just for some new fun, but I’d also be fine with Monk or Paladin gaining a Ranged spec, or Shaman gaining a Tank spec.

They will give us something instead of new races and classes, hype it up, and not fully deliver on it.

I would love a caster necromancer class. Kind of a cross between DKs and Warlocks in a way. Have some spells like idk a “Death Bolt” that does damage and then you have abilities that raise the dead like Raise Dead and Army of the Dead from DKs just greatly expanded. Also with abilities that let you take control of one of the Undead and attack as them. I think maybe even an ability that lets you raise a DK. Very limited moves and low health and stats to balance it out but that would be cool.

A healer/range combo. There hasn’t been one in any expansion right?

I predict none. Wondering if we’ll get any new allied races even.

Personally I’d love for Tinkers to be the next new class. Given the Island Expedition teams already have mechs and unique Tinker themed abilities… A lot of the work is already done. Plus they have a tank, healer and DPS spec. Would also be a great choice to be a 3rd Mail user.

That said, who knows what the next expansion will be about. But would be nifty for us to go deep into Azeroth to discover this monstrous unknown threat the Blingtrons have been waging a war against(if you’ve ever taken the time to read the decoded messages you can get from the various Blingtrons). Tinker would be a perfect class to add with such an expansion.

And Blizzard did say they were looking at some more “grounded” expansions coming up. So…could be! Probably isn’t, but could be!

There’s never been a new one, no, but there are multiple healer+ranged choices already in the game (3 of the 5 healers can be DPS casters). I kinda feel like this falls under my first bullet (we have never gotten a new ranged spec, ever).

We actually lost one, when Survival Hunter changed to melee in Legion.

It needs to be ranged. I’ll be so mad if we get another melee class, even a melee spec.
In the history of WoW we have only had… -1 ranged specs added since launch. That’s right, -1.

I want either some form of tinker, glaive / javelin thrower, or sort of like the Esper from Wildstar (in concept). We need a new ranged, and it should really be physical.

Tinker is half finished already.
Mech models are in game
Abilities are in game with level reqiurements and cooldowns.

If it’s not Tinkers next, then Blizzard must have seriously turned tail.

bard, because why not.

just to make the “I demand everything be edgy” crowd mad. I hate shop transmog, but it was funny watching them squirm when they released the baby murloc backpack.

I don’t really want any more races unless it’s dragonkin. I wanna have horns like the dragon aspects do in their human forms.

Idk how they could make it make sense (balance and lore wise) because dragons have a lot of powers other races simply do not.

Tinker and not Mechagnomic is weird

I think it’d be neat if they added Necromancer for all races.

Tinkerers for humans, gnomes, Mechagnomes, dwarves, Draenei, LFD, DID, goblins, Mag’har, Blood Elves, Orcs, Nightborne and Darkspear.

Bard for all races.

Then add some classes to most existing races.

Demon Hunter for Orcs and Draenei.

Night elves/Worgen/Kul’tirans/gnomes get Paladin
Dwarves get Druid (Wildhammer)
LFD/Worgen/goblin get monk.
Pandaren get druid.
Blood elf druid!
HMT get priest and warlock
Zandalari get Warlock.
Orcs get priest and paladin dammit.
Tauren get mages.
Rogues for Tauren/HMT/draenei/LFD.

I think necromancer is actually a viable option now. But not the necromancer people want. The caster version of a death knight; plagues, shadow, zombies, painted in black. That kind of thing I don’t think will ever happen, it’s too redundant from death knights and warlocks.

But I think Blizz has a chance to create a new type of necromancer based off anima magic and the kinds of things we’ve been seeing the covenants doing. They could spin it like we took these teachings back with us to Azeroth after being here or maybe the covenant people send emissaries to train those who are interested. Depending if we close that hole in the sky or not.

So a ranged caster, a more spiritual benevolent anima-style necromancer. It could be possible! And it fits well with the context of the lore too.
