More tank classes doesn’t fix the problem. The outcome is the same - tanks get verbally abused, kicked, criticize them for the smallest off-the-path like accidentally extra pull, dps pull for them, etc. Thats the heart of it all. We got DK-monk-DH 3 in a row new tank classes, and yet we have a tank shortage all the same.
While I acknowledge that tanking can be a tough role, I believe another issue is that tanks are all melee. Give tanks a “ranged” option and you’ll see more people playing the role. One reason I don’t tank is because I prefer ranged specs. A Tinker class could facilitate such a tanking style.
By lore standards? What lore? The necromancer is a Warcraft III unit, different from the Warcraft I units, the Necrolite or the Warlock.
And they are a class, that was gonna be included at the launch of WoW together with the DK, but both got pulled. So no, you wrong on this one too boss.

Well! 
- Gul’dan quite literally created Death Knights … He took the slain warlock souls, threw them into dead human corpses and reanimated the bodies to be functional.
These warlock “Death Knights” were also some of the first necromancers (the ones you’ve been mentioning lmao) that were seen in Warcraft! 
Source: Warcraft II
- The Shadowmoon clan necromancers are also referred to as warlocks, using the void to bind souls and control the undead.
Source: Warlords of Draenor, quest - ‘Secrets of Soulbinding’
- Warlock rituals can cause an upheaval of souls, reanimated corpses and consequentially manifest or summon spirits from the realms of the dead.
Source: Legion, when Gul’dan severed the soul of Illidan from his body.
Additionally:
Fel magic reanimating the dead is hardly anything “new” either, as seen in the Sunwell raid when the residual felblood from the slain Pitlord reanimated Madrigosa into an undead fel-drake.
So there ya have it! 
Thanks for asking the question “What lore?” – So we could reinforce what was said earlier.
If Blizzard present warlocks with necromancer skins, it will be a thanks to you indeed 
I made a suggestion for a necromancer warlock-skin thread ages back too →
Customisation for Warlocks: The OG Necromancers
you got 2 of them allready, being engy and blood knight/lock
no need to make more roles, just make the roles we got have more stuff
Tinker is a Profession, not a Class. It’s already in the game and is called: Engineering.
Why? Be specific. How would the class manefest differently from all the other classes?
They were. They’re called Death Knights.
See Mekkatorque, Blackfuse, and Gazlowe. It’s a class, not a profession.
We know this because the Engineering profession contains zero abilities from the Tinker hero from WC3 and HotS. If you notice, WoW’s classes contain multiple abilities from those games.

No more classes. We could legitimately maybe handle a ranged DH support spec.
We are in need of only additional support specializations and better balance of existing specializations.
Blizzard just kind of dose whatever. Who had dracthyr on their bingo card prior to DF?
Trying to predict these things is kind of futile.
Ion already stated that there will be more classes in the future.

I resent the implication that Warlocks and Demon Hunters have anything in common…
Um, how would a ranged tank even work? The boss would just run to you and suddenly you’re in melee with it anyway.
I actually think we should do class skins. I think a void hunter demon hunter class skin would be rad.
Not until I get a 5th specialization.
Here’s a reddit post with the quote;
https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/wze9y2/ion_has_confirmed_that_future_classes_will/
Do it SWTOR (Powertech/Vanguard) style.
Personally, super glad we haven’t gotten any more of those. Especially if they were to be anything like Aug
I looked it up and they apparently need to be within melee range to tank, they just use ranged weapons. So, basically what I said, you’re ranged for like 2 seconds while the things run to you after you pull them then you’re in melee.

Tinker is the only one that can be a class…
Necro should either be a lock skin or hero spec.
UNLESS, blizz is willing to make a necro class that uses all sorts of .magic capable of rezing undead as confirmed by shadow lands.
So like a death spec, holy spec, and void spec.
Warden can’t be a class now that anyone can mog as a warden. Plus it’s too restrictive since only female nelves are wardens.
