Hello All, as of today, I will unfortunately be living in a situation with incredibly restricted internet access. So in spite of the new expansion, I will be unsubscribing until living conditions improve.
I want to let everyone know that I have a great time on this forums. And I appreciate all opinions that found their way to my numerous tinker class threads.
Special mentions go to Rakki, Mongaloid, Clockworth. Illidette, Zerogrusel, Beaupeep, Averyx, and of course Meezah.
For my last post for a while. I will restate my opinion on classes in full:
The real post starts here
Will the current design of classes in WoW, and with assets that we have seen throughout previous expansion, I believe that Tinkers are likely to be the Next class implemented into World of Warcraft.
Weâve seen Tinkers from all walks of Azeroth, multiple races, multiple planets, and multiple styles.
Tinkers date all the way back to Warcraft 3 Heroes. Just like Monks, Demon Hunters, and Death Knights.
The Tinker Class has even been shown more directly in BFA.
The island expedition teams are neatly divided into Tank, Healer, and Ranged DPS. 3 roles this game needs more of.
And of course, on Exiles Reach, there are two new NPCs, (one for horde and one for alliance) that are both representative of Tinkers. They use Technology and Gadgets instead of weapons or Magic.
The Ideal Tinker class in my opinion would use Intelligence for all 3 specializations.
It would wear Mail Armor, and have 3 specializations.
TANK: In a Mech suit (Would possibly use a gun as a stat-stick item)
HEALER With a Gun, using healing darts, and healing grenades
RANGED DPS With a gun, using turrets, bombs, and missiles.
With this design, Blizzard would be able to use existing assets in order to create a new class. Existing Bows, Crossbows, and Guns could have stat-switch from Agility to Intelligence. so they could be used by Hunters and Tinkers.
In Short:
Tinkers are a new class, that fulfill desired roles by the community
Tinkers could be constructed mostly out of existing assets
Tinkers would allow for a Intelligence-stacking Tank.
Tinkers do not conflict with the themes of existing classes.
None of the existing classes fufill the fantasy of being a tinker
Therefore:
I conclude that Tinkers are the most likely class to be added to World of Warcraft!
I love all of you, thanks for all the fun!
