Tinkers! And the problem with Goblins

Look at it this way

There is already a class that uses undead to deal damage.
There isn’t a class that uses Mechs, Turrets and Technology.

Paladins are priests. They are Priests of the Light

Priests use light and Shadow

Mages use Arcane.

Warlocks use Fel

Death Knights use Necromancy.

No class uses Technology.

Seeing the pattern here?

Hunters actually use technology, and if your a goblin shaman they do as well. As their totems are tech.

I have, and Unholy is absolutely a Necromancer.

WoW devs even admitted they harvested ideas from traditional Necromancers to make Death Knights.

You are absolutely wrong.

Hunters use Poison. Arrows. Archery. Pets, and animals.

No their totems are definitely elemental. Which is why they use the Elements…
Just because it has a drill bit on the bottom does not make them a Tinker Class.

A Hunter is a Hunter.
A Shaman is a Shaman.

The thing is with the Necromancer class is that it would suffice as a new class, but the idea just isn’t as cool as a Tinkerer, I mean who wouldn’t want to use a freakin’ mech?

I loved engineers in Wildstar, and I believe GW had something similar.

Goblin Shamans use tech to harness and use the elements. It’s still tech.

I agree it could suffice a new class.
But the class would be derivative, and exactly the same as a class we already have.

Tinkers on the other hand would be different to existing classes and are therefore better.

Yes it was from WC3, a neutral hero unit. Same as the Goblin Tinker; both that have spells that arent on any WoW class ingame yet.

Then why do I not have a single Tinker ability from Warcraft 3?

If it was a Tinker class. I’d have Tinker abilities from Warcraft 3, would I not?

Just be a goblin shaman engineer, then you got your turrets, goggles, and bombs.

Plus engineering which if you look is an ability of tinkerers.

Then I’d still be a shaman that uses the elements. Not a Tinker.

Engineering doesn’t have turrets, Mechs, Pocket factories, or missile barrages.

All their bombs share 5 minute cooldowns.

You actually think that’s a tinker?
Would you like to tell everyone on this thread that you think engineering = tinker?
Because I like to think we’d all point and laugh at the person who can’t use google.

Tinkers use Mech suits, they stack intelligence as their primary stat. They fire missiles from a range, build pocket factories…

Look if you can call my cooldowns making me a necromancer, then fair is fair.

Tinkerer and Engineering profession could easily coexist. What about Mages and Enchanting?

Ehh a Goblin Shaman plays nothing like Gazlowe does in Heroes of the Storm… you know Warcraft’s Tinker representation in that game.

They have Rehgar and Thrall though if you want to play a Shaman though.

Ah ah ah.

You actually have to use some logic here buddy as much as you seem to hate it.

Death Knight Has Necromancer’s abilites from Warcraft 3.
Therefore it is a Necromancer.

Engineering does not have Tinkers abilities from Warcraft 3, therefore it is not an Tinker.

Mech suits, like the Sky golem?

You’re a Necromancer.

Gob Shaman are not tinkers.

Engineers are not Tinkers.

Gob Shaman Engineers are not Tinkers.

You are just 100% wrong on all accounts.

That’s a Mount. Not an ability.

I get you don’t understand that Death Knights are Necromancers, but I expected you to be smarter than that.

A mech suit is a mount.
