I’ve wanted Battle Mage and Spellbreaker for a while.

There’s a ton of NPCs like that throughout Suramar, but we can’t play like them for reasons.

WC3 has a handful of Magic+Melee units, and there’s plenty more seen in WoW itself, so I’d say it’s a reasonable expectation someday.
So an enh shaman?

You didnt read the post
Rune Knight?
The only time warrior and mage belong together is when the first is pummeling the other to death.
Shamelessly rip off FFXIV’s Red Mage and balance a Fire/Ice resource bar with a melee attack phase 
I really would like an actual Battlemage/melee mage spec or class. It’s pretty weird that if you want to hit people with a sword and use magic at the same time in WoW you either have to pray to a rock, pray to a windchime, or become an ice zombie.
We did. You want an enhancement shaman, with an arcane spell school coat.
Ask for enhance Glyphs then.

I feel like melee magic user is pretty well trod ground between shaman, death knights and paladins.
What is this new mage/warrior hybrid bringing to the table?
The main problem with that is that a new Class should bring new stuff to the table, both in fantasy and in gameplay.
So when you say you want an Arcane magic fighter, but you remove the fantasy and just look at the gameplay, we already have 3 different types of magic fighter.
In what way would this 4th magic fighter be any different from the other 3, gameplay-wise?
I’m not saying it can’t be done, I’m just saying that you need to go a tad more in-depth with this to make it a convincing and compelling Class request that may gain enough traction to catch Blizzard’s attention.

There are also Spellbreakers although it would only be limited to Horde as the 2 races that have them, Blood Elves and Nightborne, are both Horde.
They are also more like Warrior + Anti-Mage than Warrior + Mage.
They seem unique enough with their spinning double bladed swords and giant shield.
Knowing the devs, they’d give Spellbreakers the ability to use a polearm with a shield because that is something Warriors have wanted for a long time.
Void elves are literally just Blood Elves after The Incident™. Anything Belves can do, Velves can do purpler.
Also wouldn’t be a huge stretch to say humans picked it up from their long history with high elves.

Spellbreaker would be the one id be waiting for.
This was the first class I was in Elden ring, and it was dope. That’s be really cool to see Blizz do this. Or, if they won’t do that, maybe rework one of the mage specs, or add another where they can use a spell that gives them full plate armor.
Screw that noise, I want real blood magic.
Like, you attack yourself to make a pool of blood on the floor that damages enemies and heals you.
A suicide attack akin to execute, that then deals your missing health as blood damage to everyone around you.

That’d be cool too. Maybe that could be a second spec of whatever class this would be.
