Proof that Bards+Tinkers are coming

Read past the headline and the first sentence, ty.

Lets start off with the survey leaks from a while ago:

https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/2630723-The-War-Within-11-X-Patches-amp-World-Soul-Saga-Speculation-Thread/page4130?p=54607716&viewfull=1#post54607716

Bard is placed under one of the concepts for a tinker. Then below there is another tinker concept that says, “Genius inventors, who have uncovered the secrets of the titan technology.”
So not only would a titan technology concept for tinkers generalize the class to more than just gnomes and goblins, it can also include bard as a spec using the song of azeroth(a titan).

Now blizzard has been introducing some music stuff in the game…and kinda pushing the song of azeroth on us in the story…People have said that bards do not fit into WoW, but what better way to introduce the idea of bard by establishing the radiant song/Song of Azeroth? You now have a basis for a spec/class to use music magic…

Here’s some dialogue from NPCs in the siren isle. This is hinting what a bard would be able to do and establishes something in-game that can can provide a hymn of healing, or something that can bolster and strengthen people with the power of music…

This item is a bit of a reach but I’m putting it here anyways. You can find this mog in that vault area where you go in by interacting with the singing table.

The upcoming goblin raid has a… DJ BOSS!!!
Here’s a quote from what the dev said in the direct video:

Here is one of the gems we can get for our ring in the siren isles:

Isn’t it too obvious? BARDic citrine… When you proc this heal, there are a bunch of music notes that spawn above your head…

Last but not least, Brann is getting a bunch of tinker abilities…

I saw someone say this is based on tinkers from WC3… He also gets a mech ability which I believe the player will be able to hop onto when he summons it… A sneak peek at the tank mech spec…

There’s a lot of hints in the game now relating to music/bards, and tinkers.

We already have a spec with a music ability! Holy priests have divine HYMN as a raid cooldown!

Tinker/Bard confirmed.

Would love if bard class became a thing, keep the hope!

I even have several names saved for years just in case they do make them. So pretty please blizz, give us bards. (and let a move become more powerful if we sing (scream) at it)

Feel free to not come in here then.

Anyways, something else I missed is divine HYMN, the raid cooldown that holy priests have.

I assumed it was fake cause I had the poster on ignore and not a single person I don’t have ignore has posted about getting the survey.

I ignore trolls and people who are disrespectful lol, so I always take everything they say with a grain of salt.

Why am I not suprised Blizzard would pick the worst 2 of all the suggestions

Maybe you should read more than one sentence before you comment.

Yeah, blizzard should have asked you first :joy:

Agreed. /10chars

Maybe I should have placed the survey part at the very end :thinking:

Well, I’m glad you’re excited, but I wouldn’t call this ‘proof.’

I’ll be generous and call it evidence.

coughs awkwardly “I’m already here though, see? I gots my little harp and I aggro giant dragons.”

Fair. Call it some clickbait I guess :joy:

I do think it has some merit from the fact that they have been teasing future content like this. Like npcs talking about the crystal they found on an island… Or that questline you couldn’t do about the frozen dragon and augmentation…

Seems like they’re open to teasing us like this.

I can’t help but recall/mention that Blizzard had a go at us with the Tinker Leaker class.

If they’re planning on actually releasing a Tinker, they’re obviously going to have some fun with us while doing it heh.

paladins are basically bards ie a support class that makes everyone else around them better

Fingers crossed for bard. Dps/supp/healer. I just hope they won’t overdo the support like aug.
