It’s probably gonna be Tinker next, fam, let’s be honest. We’ve already got Mechagnomes confirmed in BfA and High Tinker Mekkatorque playing a story role in the next raid.
I’ve got two things to say about it. Tinker better have at least one tank spec; and I’m hoping that other races have a fair shake at being Tinker too. The Gnome + Void Elf matchup at the Siege of Lordaeron gives me giddy hope!
You can’t undo things you have done.
Go to any major city and play count the pandas. Not a lot of those guys around. But they are still in the game.
I still don’t know why they let forsaken into the horde, yet here you are.
I have heard some spoilers about the new raid coming out that might lead to an expansion that this may fit. Since some people do not want any of the spoilers I won’t ruin it, but if what they say is true it definitely could lead to an expansion (at least on the gnome side). Not sure how you would get the horde involved to introduce the counter-parts.
I hope you are right, players don’t seem to use the small classes much and I know Rangers will be popular.
SWTOR had a “ranged” tank class that worked pretty well. I could see the Tinkerer having a mech that kind of looks like a ranged tank with their turrets and other mech like abilities. I actually welcome a change to the old and bring in some of these new ideas.
Also I agree with Taliesin as well because there are too many signs that this is more than just a phase of a story. There are too many assets being produced for just a forgettable location and story.
I would actually have no problems rolling a new Level 1 Tinker class character (even though I typically think this idea sucks). So much potential if they do it right. Also it is about time the gnomes get a real city back (not a piece of one or a radiated section)…even though I typically cannot stand gnomes unless they are cooked over a spit.
There will be a huge imbalance though if they have Mecha Gnomes for Alliance and Volpera for Horde. If you think there is an imbalance now just wait till that furry becomes available.
Dark Rangers are a for sure thing in my opinion, but anything new is awesome.
I think a Dark Ranger would be awesome as well, but it would probably be considered just another hunter type class and watered down. At least with the Tinkerer it is a whole new type of class that is unique all around.
Fingers crossed for Dark Tinker.
I’m a gnome and I approve this message
I too am a gnome and also approve of this tinker class.
Why you gotta bring race into it?
It has been asked for since vanilla
It doesn’t have to be just the small races that could be tinkers. In addition to Goblins and Gnomes, tinkers could easily include Dwarves, Dark Iron Dwarves, Lightforged Draenei, Undead, and Mag’har Orcs. If you want to stretch it even further, you could include Blood Elves, normal Orcs, Humans, and Worgen as well.
If the tinker class includes mech suits, then for smaller races it could be an actual mech, while for larger races it could be more of a power armour exoskeleton.
Blizzard shouldn’t add any more classes until they’ve proven they can do a good job with the classes they already have.
I really hope Dark Ranger is not the next hero class. What would it even be, beyond just a remix of existing class specs? Would it have a tank and/or heal spec? How would that even work? How would they even viably have multiple dps specs for it? I just don’t see how it’d work as a standalone class with multiple specs, and even if they did manage to do it, it would just be a remix of existing stuff.
Seems like if they wanted to introduce Dark Ranger, it’d be a 4th Hunter spec. Or maybe Surv and BM would be combined as a single melee class and Dark Ranger would be the new 3rd spec. I just don’t see it as a viable standalone class…
Meanwhile, Tinker class has potential for all 3 specs with all kinds of new things they could do. Range tank class where you control a robot “pet” tank. Set down turrets in areas that do different things. Ride mechs. All kinds of new things.
We need a dancer/gypsy class youknowwhatimsayin
I mean, Dark Ranger seems increasing possible.
Sylvanas.
Alleria.
Tyrande.
Vol’jin.
All of them are falling into the Dark Ranger area these days.
“Tinker” always seemed a bit odd to me, because of Engineering. It’s like they added Engineering to make a tinker type fantasy, but then adding a Tinker would be like making a class based on the profession. Like I said, just seems odd.
Nope, very bad class idea.
Anything good should just be used to fix engineering.
