If anything, no new melee classes. Not sure if more tanks is really needed though.

i think so, more diversity is always welcome.

A melee character with magical ability? Like a paladin?

In all fairness though I am getting some serious Geralt of Rivia hype from that idea.

Or even better (since ive been playing alot of total war warhammer 2 again recently) like a Loremaster of Hoeth hero. A melee badass with a huge sword who also has unique spells.

No we don’t, have the classes in the game can already tank.

Adding a mail-wearing class would be good.

Hey as long as it’s ranged dps. And not boring as hell.

Battle mage could be ranged dps for two specs and melee tank for one

Honestly, as much as I’d like battle-mage or warden, tinkers seem like the pick, another class to use guns, and is actually fun to play (if pulled off well), unlike hunters which are boring as hell.

Tinker class could be perfect for this. Ranged dps using ranged weapons like hunters, turrets and grenades. Tank class using a mech like Mekkatorque. Healing spec similar to Ana and Baptiste.

Ooooo that is actually a sweet idea. Tinker class sounds like the bees knees

I doubt you’ll see battle mage.

We really don’t need more tank classes we just need tanks to be fun.

Legion, tanks were fun to play. I controlled my active mitigation, had cool secondary defensive stats, I could be a Dodge tank, Parry tank, soak tank, block tank, and I had decent damage at the right times.

Now, all active mitigation is basically the same. Increase armor by x% is what they’re labeled as, our damage is literally a wet noodle, and we are basically effective health tanks with no clear differentiating effects at all aside from I use a shield, they use a 2hd, and they DW, that’s it.

Just make tanks fun again with some legion flavor and stop making them so hemogenized.

Tinker has been set up for this. three specs built upon the island team.

Ranged dps tank and maybe healer but i wouldnt mind if they were just 2 specs like dh if they were good specs

I’d like classes that add dynamics we haven’t seen yet. What’s the point of adding another generic tank that just uses mail because it’s not used as often.

Just let Enhance shaman have some tanking abilities and you’ll be set. I mean Enhance already has no way to dump threat, and to build it up pretty quickly.

The whole reason I play Shaman is that it comes closest to the Battle Mage ideal that I can get.

Like others have mentioned, if they end up adding a new class, I’m hoping it’s ranged since all the other added classes have been tanks+melee

Do we really need it though? Generally I’m not in favor of adding something just to fill in a checkbox. I’d rather the addition feel organic
