FF didn’t invent the Bard. The class has been a popular staple to fantasy games for well over FORTY YEARS.

I hate tinker personally, but that’s just me…
I can make myself a Dark Ranger on my Elf hunter well enough, though I would play one if it was set apart enough from Hunter.
I’d play the hell out of a Bard, but it doesn’t fit this game’s system as there are no support classes.
So I’d go for Tinker with DPS/Tank/Heal specs. Would be super awesome and Goblin/Gnome only though 
Tinker - Tank/RDPS/Melee DPS
You’re in a mech suit, tank uses a shield generator, ranged uses a cannon of some sort, and melee wields a 2H.
Your mixing the two up.
You really think Tinkers aren’t Everywhere in WoW?
Cause they are in every expansion, all the time.
Like Bastion, Reinhart, D.Va, Torbjörn, and Junkrat all rolled in to one awesome class. squeeeee
Tinker. They’ve been part of the game in one way or another since Warcraft II (gnomecopters & goblin submarines). We’ve had multiple examples of bosses and other characters using technology offensively and defensively on a scale far bigger than just the engineering profession. We had a whole team that demonstrated three different specs of Tinkers on the Island Expeditions. It’s a no-brainer.
Bards don’t have any precedent for existing in WoW, mechanically or lore-wise.
Dark Rangers don’t have enough to be a class, and we don’t need another edge-lord class even if they did. My proposal for them has always been to change the Subtlety spec for rogues into a ranged spec and giving them more shadow & necromantic powers to encompass that theme.
Necromancers are unnecessary. Edgy casters are covered by warlocks and shadow priests, and raising the dead and manipulating plagues is covered by DKs.
Barb with tinker abilities would be awesome it’ll be like a rock and roller with amplifiers,lol
Bard, but that’s because I always play bard.
A shame the only in-game bards are mundane.
Am I the only one who feels that this game already has enough classes? If they introduce even more, they’ll only be able to create them by stealing abilities or flavor from existing classes/specs.
Agreed.
Even when I try fusing these three together into one, Voltron of a class, I come up with “Dark Tard”, and I doubt anyone’s playing that.

In very few fantasy games* and NONE OF THOSE HAVE EVER BEEN WARCRAFT
Tinkler all the way.
Tinker as an outright class is weird. How would you repair things to death. Shrug.
Tinker =/= Engineering.
These are subclasses at best. A weak best.
Order of the Stick would like to have a word with you.
Dark Ranger should be appearance. So Bard.
Dark Ranger
I’d rather they make engineering more viable than introduce something that would likely partially cannibalize it.
As for bard, it’s enough of a grind levelling a healer. Can’t imagine levelling a harpist, or poet.
Engineering makes out of combat utilities and gizmos.
A class that uses Technology in combat wouldn’t cannibalize it.
