Tank spec Shamans

None until they balance out my spec better. Being last or near last in single target damage all expac has sucked. And they really haven’t bothered to make it better. And it’s not like AoE is top tier. It’s pretty mid.
None. WoW already has enough classes/specs rn. It so hard to balance as is. But now it’s really showing.
I would rather have blizz make classes/specs more fun and enjoyable than getting a new class, adding to the disaster that is class balance

Only one I care about is Tinker. They can stop after that.
There have been xpacs where no new class was released like SL and they failed to balance the classes. It’s never going to happen, especially since they reinvent the classes all of the time and can’t even decide on something as simple as what talent system we should have.

Mage - Chronomancer: I love all things about mages from their lore to their aesthetics. But I’m a healer at heart, and priest just doesn’t scratch that magic-y itch for me. I’d love to see a chronomancer healing spec.
Mage - Illusionist: Since WoW is basically ripping everything from GW2 at this point, I’d like to see Blizzard’s interpretation of the Mesmer class. It already fits in with WoW’s established lore and the mage class theme.
Necromancer Class: I don’t care if there would thematic overlap with DKs, warlocks, and SPriests. Thematic overlap is good because players who like a particular theme or aesthetic can have more options for specs and playstyles.
Shaman tank 4th spec: Earthwarden (Earth Shield goes to them, use Earth ele a bit like Monk statue, 2h agi or shield/1h.)
Demon Hunter support 3rd spec: Defiler (debuffs mobs to mitigate damage to DH and have mob take more damage, buffs players to have some of the damage they deal also come back as healing to the DH, damage DH does to mobs also heals the DH and party some.)
Alternatively for half the work, Blizzard could turn Augmentation into a second DPS spec for Evoker! This seems to be the more reasonable option…
Agreed. Also

I believe that only exist right now because there’s only one spec of one class doing this. In the past we have had, S. Priest that were support, Shaman support and even Beast Master Support (because the game had a requirement for CC in normal dungeon runs and more in heroics and Raids) and a good BM could chain trap. Redirect mobs and other things that made them CC machines.
Cataclysm got dumbed down because of LFD, and LFR tools. Had those never existed the. The people that played TBC and WoTLK new how to build groups that could do the content. I know because my guild could.
No more classes. A DH 3rd spec as ranged but that’s it.
I always wished that WOW would lean more heavily on its steampunk elements.
As several have said a Tinker or/SteamKnight would be awesome additions. I like the tinker using steam suit exoskeletons and I’m sure some kind of steam knight is possible. But I’d see it being a combo class shooting arrows off the back of his armor, a sword that gets extra damage from its steam power maybe a backpack that allows it to fly over enemies to drop bombs. (In Dragon flight fashion)
Only issue is a Tinker and SteamKnight might be too close in concepts.
The description for the tinker above I really love that concept.
After everyone’s replies I have rethought a couple things.
Sadly this game has never been balanced well and that’s got nothing to do with the number of classes. If anything I’d say it’s more to do with so many 3 DPS classes.
I’d love to see S. Priest move to a different class of something, maybe a necromancer.
Because I think that a Holy DPS priest with some nice unique buffs would be a win.
They could even summon Angels and Holy Warriors as pets. To help fight and s protect the priest. Maybe like Augment it would get most of it DPS/Meter from the buffs and summons it gets.
Bard and Tinker and Void knight. Are classes I’d love to see
Earth Elemental Shaman Tank.
I really liked the Rouge ranged idea, but still like my rouge shadow tank idea. I’m at a toss up.
DH 3rd ranged spec. Maybe he throws chakrams.
