Really need some new classes

More specs instead since new classes would encroach on old ones a lot. Hunter could easily have a tinker spec.

Honestly at this point I’d almost rather see “Bard” as a form of tradeskill or something instead, like engineers. Build your instruments, sell songs, etc.

At least there isn’t people like in Ffxiv sitting in cities playing some tunes like dragon force on their instruments or whatever. Begone with all that noise.

Where exactly is this a magic Bard?
Like cool one dwarven singer.

You know you can turn down the music right? It’s under performance in the options. Most of the people playing tunes aren’t actually playing anyways
they just use a computer program to play songs on the in-game instruments
I’m not sure why
at that point I would just listen to actual music, but that’s just me.

I wouldn’t use it anyways because I don’t play Ffxiv anymore.

Necromancer could be a single spec class that plays a lot like demo, but raises the dead. It could also be a 4th warlock spec that also uses shadow bolt as the filler.

Nah, current classes/specs don’t get enough attention as it is.

someone already replied. Get owned.

No new classes until the current ones are finished.

For new Classes you’d really want a Class that provides a play-style (and preferably more than two specs) that make it stand out from those we already have.

That’s why I don’t think Necromancer would work as they’d just be a DK in cloth armour.
A Tinker sounds cool, but really only works for me as a Spec (maybe for Warrior).
And I’m not sure how a Bard would work as anything but a Support Spec (maybe a Rogue).

All classes that have been added to WoW after launch were for marketing reasons.

Not gameplay.

Bards, but they’re a healing/support SoD thingumy for Rogues.

I said magic bard for a reason. He doesn’t have any magic beyond frostbolt, a mage spell


He just sings. There’s a few people that sing in WoW, that doesn’t mean they have Mage hand, Sleep, Charm, Enthrall, Dominate person, Irresistible dance, etc.

 still not a magic bard. His wiki page is also like a couple sentences. Bards are very much irrelevant in the WoW universe.

In contrast, the tinkers are literally faction leaders, raid bosses, or other important lore figures:

https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Gelbin_Mekkatorque
https://wowwiki-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Professor_Putricide
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Grand_Artificer_Romuul

There have also been MULTIPLE Hearthstone expansions about tinkers.

There are so many versions of tinkers in WoW, it could easily have 5 specs
 but, limiting it to 3:

  • Gazlowe style dps. Summons turrets, uses lasers and bombs.
  • Mekkatorque style tank. Pilots mechs; like D.Va from OW.
  • Putricide style support or healer. Throws potions to allies and foes. Has a Heal-Bot pet.

Considering bliz seems pretty sold on aug, I would not be shocked at all about a bard, but tbh could care less about the class. I just think the idea of a supp spec is coming with more classes if they add any.

A lot of what your wanting is similar to what I would like to see as well.

Very similar to what I was envisioning as well.

I have provided a more detailed example here

No more classes. There’s already enough complaints about tuning for every spec that already exists. If you want to be a bard, play hunter and sing to yourself as you shoot mobs.

Ugh, at least come up with something less lame.

Congratulations on finding a normal tavern-singing bard?

Has nothing to do with the type of bard being requested here though.
