If it becomes strong enough it has an impact on how classes play, Blizz’ll nerf it into the ground. The only way to play a competent engineer type character is for that to be transcribed to a class, and if making it a class, go -crazy- and get the stuff we wouldn’t normally get like full on druid style transformations. Make it stand out through getting the crazier stuff engineering could never have because of balance

Way off tangent, but in old Diablo 2…i wanted there to be a potion/poison Master.
Essentially adapt and expand on all the oil potions, gas potions that dropped everywhere. But outside the starter area were junk. Yet, they dropped in all content
yeah its really more of a theme than a class idea
I assume they just like the name “Tinker”. I thought certain rogue and hunter specs already used smoke bombs, grenades, etc as part of their kit?
That said, if there were a Tinker class and it had abilities that were like a smoke screen or dizzy bomb etc? These sounds like debuffs or CC effects. Only people into RP would play it I think since they would care the least about dps - and I think these are mainly the ones asking for this class as well.

They’re not gonna risk another flop of a class after monks.
Tinker is a dumb, niche idea only a handful of people actually want.
The next class will be something guaranteed to be popular and sell xpacs, like necromancer.

necromancer is just a lame death knight

Death knights are just another lame melee.
This is 5/10 bait but dam you got dem bites
so do you want necromancers or not?
I assume it’s a warlock death knight. Instead of flinging imps at a mob I’ll just fling dead bodies at them?
Honestly necromancer is more then likely going to be the new class that is going to come out next since we just had a whole xpax about the dead and one of the groups we helped was the necrolords.
The tinker could work but like blizz themselfs have said they step to much on engys toes for them about it, if they could make it work it could be cool BUT what would they base it on, we already have a gun class aka hunters and they also use bombs which is one of the things people keep saying tinkers should get.
The only thing that would make the tinker even remotely decent would be if they had a combat mech which would be badass but then what do you do in the down time? They don’t really have much to work with which is one of the big issues with the idea.
I’m the bread and butter of an RPG.
I look forward to the gutting unholy will take for them. Should be fun.
All that I know the next class needs to be ranged

Well constructed response. Troll.
What i would love to see is build your own class with what we have now…
Take abilities from other classes and just mix and match your own class
Lol you bit too bro lol
But no, with all sincerity I think tinker is the dumbest class idea ever conceived.
As much as I would love to see that and interesting as it would actually be, blizzard would never allow that.
Yea i know
You’re the soggy stale white bread at the back of the cabinet everyone forgot about. But by the grace of sugars and a heaping spoon full of preservatives you’ve survived the winter.
