To Tinker H8ters

@Ulendur-moon-guard

We have engineers already hur hur!

no, no, no… It happens when you choose an ignorant and tree-loving race that doesn’t care if it burns down their treehouse.

First, STOP COMPARING PROFESSIONS BETWEEN ENGINEERING AND ALCHEMY, it’s like saying that mage is Enchating in class or herbolist is Druids in profession.

Second, the fact that the Tinker was seen much earlier in HotS and Warcraft 3 itself, it’s time to bring this class back and for Blizzard to leave other cringe classes like the Evoker that doesn’t make sense within the lore of Azeroth just because The new devs want to invent their own game, totally appropriating an IP that was never original to them.

what if you become a blacksmith

[Ussliberty-blackrock]

You can help Fiona do alchemy without training alchemy. You can cook meat on a campfire in Exile’s Reach without training cooking. You could probably use mechanical class spells without training engineering.

[Ifelixl-quelthalas (Ifelixl)]

I wanted to put the warriors, but that class did not only live on plate armor, and even before WoW in RTS.

anyway that doesn’t matter to you tree-lovers, and professions have nothing to do with classes, while Blizzard needs true tinkers and not those cringe Evokers.

[Felleynd-aggramar]

how many of you want to be a Tinkler??

[Ifelixl-quelthalas (Ifelixl)]

So…

So I thought about Tinkers

If we really get a tinker class, than it will be a hero class on 110 probably. They will have no class content for Legion. There is no order hall, no weapons, no followers. So they will probably let them skip this content by let them start at 110. They could make cyborgs out of the races to make them special enough to be called a hero class. Then we would have undead, demons and mashines as playable class. What do you think about it?

An FAQ post about Tinkers

With the popularity of Class requests on the rise: I wanted to address some of the Frequently asked questions on Tinker Threads that I see reoccurring all the time. Are Tinkers Confirmed? Unfortunately, No. Despite a large amount In game assets existing already, Tinkers are not confirmed to the be in WoW: Shadowlands. This doesn’t mean they won’t ever happen, just that they won’t be coming until at least 10.0 What Evidence is there? Despite existing Assets for Tinkers already existing in …

The Final Tinker Thread

Judgement day is come, my friends. Where my fellow Tinker fans at? We want blizzard to give us a new class that can cover all 3 Roles. A Class that is loyal to WC3, and absolutely badass. Oh, and unfortunately, I’ll probably be at work… Work is da poop.

10.0 new class: Tinker

It will happen. Now let’s be real. Cast all biases aside. Based on your knowledge of wow lore and patterns displayed by blizzard. What will be the next class? Let’s see. So far each class has matched the theme of the expansion. So that takes out dark rangers and necros as possibilities as they were not introduced in SL. Seriously doubt 10.0 will be death themed. Now 10.0 will most likely be involving the dragon isles as they were hinted of in bfa. So naturally people might say the dragonswo…

Suggested Tinker abilities

There are a lot of rumblings that Tinkers are going to be the next class. For years, I’d been banking on Sea Witches being added to the game, because they could wear mail armor, be healers, and use ranged weapons—all things that would fill in gaps that the current class roster has. Of course, Tinkers also fill those gaps in, and don’t require some weird lore to get servants of Azshara to defect to the Horde and Alliance, and more people are asking for Tinkers than are for Sea Witches, so Tinke…

Should Tinker Fans Really Want A Tinker Class?

Right now, the Tinker fantasy is covered by the Engineering Profession. That means your Tinker can be of any Class and do anything. Hunters are particularly good with the Tinker fantasy, as they have guns, traps, bombs, robot pets. [image] There’s also Camouflage, which you can easily think of as the Predator’s invisibility thingie. [predator 1 invisible cloak] Every armor type has plenty of options for Technological transmog. …

The Complete Tinker Class

Hey! I haven’t posted on this character for a while, and people have liked my spec outlines in the past, so… Tinker outline! Since it’s been a pretty popular topic on the forums lately. Gameplay wise, I imagine this class playing somewhat like a bastardized hybrid between Hunter, Druid, Shaman, and Paladin, although syngerizing the different playstyles in a way that will be wholly unique to Tinkers. Identity wise, they would of course be crafters of technology, using it to mainly enhance their …

Demonic Fel Tinker class showcase. Illidari step aside! There is a new edge in town.

[ - YouTube] Introduction-Purpose of this Thread This thread is an inspirational discussion thread surrounding my fan made class I call “Demonic Fel Tinkers”, which would be practiced by the Nethercorp Soulreavers and Heartshattered faction. As reimagined, this is the class I truly wish had been released in legion. My hopes is that this thread helps lead to some neat future ideas and potential discussion. And if this class was to become playable of course I’d thrilled. Lets get sta…

Add Tinker Class - As we get Tinker Gear with new friend system

Hello everyone, I would like to propose a way to introduce the Tinker class into World of Warcraft (WoW). Firstly, the Tinker class could be a hybrid class, combining elements of engineering, magic, and melee combat. The class could have a unique resource system, such as steam or gears, which would be used to power their abilities. The Tinker class could have several specializations, including a tanking specialization that focuses on using mechanical contraptions to absorb damage and control …

need more reference…

[Tohottohandl-area-52]

They are already here, Gnomes, Gobblins, and any others that do engineering as a profession. If they wanted a “tinker” clas, they would have done it with MG’s.

Just saying.
Oh and bad necro! /'slaps hand.

[Felleynd-aggramar]

what if you battle each other

[Breadisfunny-turalyon (Breadisfunny)]

quit necroing threads.

[Ifelixl-quelthalas (Ifelixl)]

@Tohottohandl-area-52

Oh and bad necro! /'slaps hand.

great, unfortunately you need dad DK and mom Warlock to have a son and he is called Necromancer or Necrolite.

Unfortunately, you could only have a sub specs or sub class system where a DK or Warlock class speaks in a hall class and can have a new spec called necromancer, some time ago I gave that idea for a system in which classes would merge or learn of another class to obtain a special spec but that would be part of the legacy of Warcraft RTS trilogy, especially Warcraft 3, which is the most beloved (OBVIOUSLY)

As well as having other specs like Ninjas, with monks and rogues, Shadowhunters between Priest, or Warlocks or Shaman with Demon Hunters (in the case of their use of Warglaives depending on the lore), Wardens with Rogues and Demon Hunters, Blademasters with Warriors and rogues, Crusaders with paladins and Warriors, and Rogues, Rangers with hunters and Rogues.

But for now the last one in a pure special class (AND NOT CRINGE LIKE THE EVOKER), only the Tinker would remain, so there are no more new and pure classes now.

[Grifrak-illidan]

It’s very curious how much tech is being represented in 10.1.

Gotta love Rannen Korren nervously facilitating our entry into VOX. And what a strange dragonkin in Professor Gastrinax, tech back piece and all.

[Felleynd-aggramar]

who wants to be a tinkler

[Kaercha-stormrage]

Tinker strays too close to Sci-Fi for me. Kinda steampunky. With new classes being so rare, maybe polarization is exactly why we won’t see them.

But, blizzard is steady slicing up combat now. We’ve added a mid-range and now a “support” role, it’s possible we’ll expand that matrix even more and create a ton of new aesthetic classes. Who knows?

[Lìvía-moon-guard]

Fanfiction is from those that insist that Tinkerers isn’t a class worthy profession.

[Liianas-khaz-modan]

@Kaercha-stormrage

Tinker strays too close to Sci-Fi for me. Kinda steampunky

I dunno. I mean, if you’re an alliance player I wouldn’t judge you for thinking that because the Gnomes never get any time in the spotlight.

But we’ve seen the Gob Squad on the Horde for a few expansions now. They’ve got turrets, missiles, and a giant mech that you, the player, help them to build.
It’s in Orgrimmar. Just walking around being awesome.

Goblins in Mechs are pretty iconic to the franchise, they’ve been around since WC3. The Tinker hero unit. Just like Demon Hunter or Death Knight.

I wanna be a Goblin Tinker, It’ll fit right along side Human Paladins, and Night Elf Druids.

[Lìvía-moon-guard]

Since WC2 actually.

Gnomish Flying Machine (Warcraft II)

Gnomish Submarine (Warcraft II)

Goblin Zeppelin (Warcraft II)

[Liianas-khaz-modan]

Awesome works of Technology have been around since WC2.
But the “Mech Suit” trope was introduced in WC3.

That’s why we have bosses like:

King Mechagon
Mechgineer Thermaplugg
Sneed
Mekkatorque
Helix Blackfuse
Mechgineer Steamrigger
The Iron Reaver.
And many many more.

LET US be the badass in the Mech suit for once blizzard! PLEASE!

[Felleynd-aggramar]

we need to get this to 300

[Grifrak-illidan]

With the future introduction of a more support style role, I’m hopeful that blizzard with ‘quickly’ expand this new niche with another new class… Tinker is so flexible in aesthetic I could totally see and want to play a support Tinker, amplifying allies.

[Trustlvlfour-zuljin]

Tinker class was such a missed opportunity at the end of bfa. Imagine it. Tank spec in a giant Mecha suit. Ranged DPS spec with canons and summoned robot minions. Melee DPS spec with chainsaws etc. It would have been the first class since druid that had a ranged spec and also a tank spec.

Instead we got garbo evokers, SMH. Evokers. Are. Such. A. Dumb. Class.
