Tinker, because we need an Electric Type

[Stronghold-greymane]

Call the Tinker class “Mechanic”, make the class mount a tonk, add a new weapon type “flamethrower”.
Give it 4 class roles (like a druid)
Mail armor.

Pure win.

Machinist, Mechanist, Mechanic, Gadgeteer, Technician, Mekkgineer, Siegecrafter, Inventor, Endgineer, Artificer….

The final WC3 heroes whose abilities have never appeared in the WoW class lineup are two Goblins loaded with technology-based abilities. I think it’s pretty obvious what the next class is going to be. It’s really not a question of “if”, it’s a question of “when”.

Yeah. It‘s never felt like tinkers need any justification. Just sort of waiting on Blizzard to add them.

After BFA, when we got those Tinker NPCS, I thought it was a sure thing

Fire mage - Fire Type
Frost mage - Water Type (ice is water)
Now we just need an Electric Type

I’m seeing the Emperor giving Vader the business.

i have this idea for tinker healer: Ana rifle (overwatch), healing aoe turrets (like goblin chaman totems), armor dispenser that reduce the damage you take (like trinket: Boon of the Archon),

The island expedition groups are basically D.Va, Torb, and Ana.
They capture the tinker specs pretty well.

With their general
disinterest in technology, night elves, orcs and tauren
are the least likely to be tinkers.

I would disagree about Orcs being “disinterested”.

Did you miss the entire expansion that was WoD, with a giant cannon, ships, and a fricken TRAIN STATION?!?

@Vaelian-silver-hand

The island expedition groups are basically D.Va, Torb, and Ana.

I would 100% agree.

They could model three specs for Tinker after these Overwatch characters. D. Va (tank), Torbjorn (DPS), and Ana (healer).

Give them mail armor and we are set.

[Vincent-nathrezim]

Hey I didn’t write it, Blizzard did.
To be fair this is the Warcraft III RPG game as well, so WoD wasn’t really a thing then.

[Hyssix-emerald-dream]

One thing to keep in mind is that every expansion class (DKs, Monks, and DHs) has huge carry-overs from WC3. DKs for example got their undead mounts, runic blades, and general armor. Monks got their monk gear and kegs. DHs got their blindfolds, tattoos, and warglaives.

So it stands to reason the Tinker might get the claw pack/robotic backpack from WC3 and HotS. I just wonder how that’s going to work overall.
