Are they tinkering, or engineering? Where is the line?
Like sure, someone could probably design an actual “Tinker” class and make it sound good, I don’t see it myself but I’m also not flawless (close, but not quite)
Just most ideas people use really just sounds like engineering items, at least older engineering items anyway
I don’t know maybe because I and many others have loved tinkers since the RTS days. I mean, I did exactly as you said to do if you notice because this is as close as I can get to a tinker class right now, but it’s not a joke to everybody. Sorry if that offends you mage #2,548,726.
Yooo lol.
And Lii is coming in for the kill.
I would have liked for them to carry the Azerite plotlines from BfA forward into something useful: a Tinker class that expressly fuses “modern” technology with Titan artifacts and Azerite power for a technomagic class fantasy.
Sadly, Azerite just wound up being another borrowed power gimmick that was quickly forgotten.
Lmao here we go again.
Do they build blingtrons? Out of combat utilities? Mount Equipment?
Then they’re an engineer
Do they Fight in Mechs? Fire explosive ordinance? Build Turrets?
Then They’re a Tinker.
Think of it this way Malgorok. You Play a Death Knight.
In Warcraft 3: Death Knights could Raise the Dead, Empower Undead minions, Fight with a Runeblade, Move quickly on Horseback, and fire death coils.
In WoW. You can raise the Dead, Empower undead minions, Fight with a Runeblade, Move quickly on Horseback, and fire death coils.
I play a Demon Hunter:
In Warcraft 3 Demon Hunters could Use immolation Aura, Turn into giant demons, and Dodge lots of attacks.
In WoW. I can use Immolation Aura, Turn into a Giant demon, and Dodge lots of attacks
You seeing a theme here?
You know me boo.
I mean yea, working the Titan stuff into it would add a certain flair and could potentially open it to more races
As long as it’s not something I gotta shove into a necklace anymore, it can stay
Well I mean technically 2/3 of those were buildable by engineers at some point
Swoooosh! game, set match. Tinkers = lame
They aren’t any more.
And a Mount isn’t a combat ability. Clearly Tinkers can use their mechs in combat.
Currently in Shadowlands. Engineers can make:
A consumable incapacitate
A Teleport that moves your randomly 10 yards.
A reusable retaliate spell
3 bombs that all share a 5 minute cooldown
A gun
Scopes
And a Wormhole Generator that they’ve had for every expansions since Draenor. (I Think)
This is not a Tinker. It aint even close.
But hey: Think of it this way If Tinkers use guns
You would have 2 classes for engineers to sell guns and scopes to
Guild wars 2 had engineer class.
Wildstar had engineer class
Warhammer had Dwarven Engineers
The Steampunk-esque fantasy class isnt a joke. It would be a breath of fresh air versus all the edge class blizzard has added to the game.
Hell both of these are from LONG after Warcraft has had Tinkers.
Warcraft Tinkers are Original and awesome. They have mech suits and everything.
And you have players trying to say they’re hunters. 
Funny enough those games had “rogues” and “archers” while obviously having its “tinker” class.
And all 3 games no longer exist
Coincidence? I think not
Its an engineer made into a class. 6-0
Except it hasn’t been? That’s the entire point of this thread. It isn’t a class, and people want it to be.
Ah of course. Those games failed because they had a Tinker class, and for no other reason. 
Definitely NOT because they were trying to compete with Warcraft.
Also Guild wars 2 does still exist.
Don’t get me wrong, It’s not rampantly successful or anything. But it’s still alive.
bunk game bunk
Guild > 700K players
Wildstar > 30k players
Warhammer > ded
tinkers kill mmos
No no no. you don’t get to backpedal.
According to you, Tinkers were already in wow Right?
So WoW already has tinkers according to you.
But it’s still alive.
Gotta keep your points straight yo.
Wrong. Wow is alive because tinkers are a profession, not a class. 7-0, swoosh, nothing but net
10/10 classic backpedal.
Lol, one of your “wins” was saying tinker is an engineer made into a class, which is 1) not true, and 2) contradicted by you just now saying “tinker is a profession”. Make up your mind.
