Machinist is what FF has.
Mechanist is completey different. They believe in the “doctrine of machines” according to google.

If shamans use shadowy Voodoo, and arcane they could be a Witch Doctor. Wowpedia defines a Witch Doctor as using Dark Voodoo, alchemy and Arcane magic. Last time I checked Shaman lacks access to Shadow magic and Arcane magic. Voodoo is not the same as elemental magic of shamans. Witch Doctors twist nature via Voodoo, Juju, alchemy, and arcane.
Here is a quote: “Troll witch doctors utilize voodoo, juju and the arcane. Some witch doctors carve their names into ancestral staves.”

Seems like a boring way to do it. Basically just giving Blizzard a way to cheap out. I think it would be more fun as a full class. All the classes since DeathKight was released are leather, mail, or plate using classes. Only one of those classes the Evoker has been magic focused. I think the next class should be a cloth armor class. Necromancer or Witch Doctor could fit the bill.
Gotta say I agree. There was that class survey leak going around and one of the classes mentioned was like “astrologer” or something like that, and described it as using celestial looking spells, and I thought that sounded cool as hell. I haven’t seen anyone talking about that at all, I really hope that it’s a for real class idea because we don’t have anything like that yet in the game and it sounds interesting.
Uh Balance Druids literally do that.
You can even get a glyph to turn your moonkin into an astral form with falling stars.

What if it’s like artificer instead with tinker as a spec and they run around shooting people with guns or idk using titan tech to manifest a giant fist to deck someone with? A mix of melee and range as it were… possibly a spec that involves robotic pets but not in the same way as hunters or warlocks
Isn’t that what death knights are?

This was it:
Astrologian: Mighty spellcasters that use the cosmic powers of the stars and gravity to deal devastating damage. They utilize celestial energies to cast spells, manipulate gravitational fields, summon meteor swarms, and create star explosions.
Yeah, Balance Druids have Starfall, Starsurge, Shooting Stars, Starfire, Moonfire, Sunfire, and Stellar Flare. They also drop moons on people.

its actually a roach class pretty much
They get to be annoying and you spend time dealing with uh turrets (peak gameplay wow very poggers )
Agreed
Thats why void wizzards are the next new class for midnight
Yea tinker is a profession, lets keep it at that
Literally a hero class in warcraft 3 and also a class in heros of the storm. Tinker is the combat class engineer is the profession so no

Yea ibguess
Yeah a lot of people are just really uncreative and they can’t think of anything other than rehashing stuff from WC3 or whatever, even when its already covered in the game. You can already tinker all you want, train engineering.
A witch doctor is just a shaman and all of the WC3 witch doctor abilities are on shaman.
UDK already covers the necromancer niche. No, they don’t need to make another version that’s a reskinned demo warlock in robes.
