What do you want in the next hero class?

Personally, I’d love to see a healer with a pet. Sort of like a priest or shaman with a hunter pet, something that can be switched out for a little extra dps, if needed, or when questing.

Necromancer: Fleshcraft spec! You stitch your allies back together and have a little undead minion assistant.

I really like the healer with the pet idea, then again I’m also someone who prefers the healer role - I might be biased. Plus pets, more to love!

I also really want to play a bard. Still hoping one day there will be a bard class!

Drop it and give me a 4th spec :smiley:

Necromancer sounds cool. On EverQuest they are the only class that could summon your corpse if you couldn’t get to it. (kinda like stygia is in maw, but all your gear stays with corpse until you get to it) But player has to buy a Coffin so necro could cast the spell.

Bard sounds cool too. Just hard to imagine someone fighting, singing and playing an instrument at the same time.

This will be me as the bard:

At least 6 different one shot macros at launch. The DPS should have the survivability of a tank and do more damage than everyone, it should also have the most mobility in the game. After that, we can watch GD burn.

Necromancer could be a class but not a hero class

Dark Ranger as a hero class. Bard as a regular class.

Eagerly awaiting the Tinker, Necromancer, and Bard. I don’t really think any of these need to be a hero class. After all, it’s been a while since we’ve simply had a new class get released that starts at level 1 again.

Here’s hoping.

  • If the next realm is Light - I hope we don’t get a new class.
  • If the next realm is Nature - I hope it’s some sort of nature paladin that can tank, DPS with a shield, and ranged DPS
  • If the next realm is void - I hope we get a melee void class
  • If the next realm is order - I hope it’s spell breakers

No ideas for Fel and we’re in Death.

Trader: Your ability list is almost purely defensive, and there’s no DPS spec. You get caravans and caravan contracts from outposts around the world and get a giant escort quest where you walk the caravans from one zone to another (sometimes all the way across the globe). The caravan will aggro enemies and can be destroyed. If you successfully defend your caravan, turning the contract and caravan in at the destination outpost will award significant amounts of gold.

The profession is all about making money and soloing. There’s nothing they bring to the table for group content, so it’s a class meant to be played when you aren’t grouping.

Fansy the Bard is a legend.
On EQ PvP servers, you couldn’t kill others until they were level 6. Fansy was level 5 and had Selo’s Accelerando, a song that makes Bards run fast. Fansy would aggro zone mobs that were much higher than the typical zone mobs (no leashes like in WoW) and train other players. In EQ if you pulled a mob over someone else, the mob would sometimes stop and pound that player, then continue the chase. If you pulled a mob over someone resting/medding, the mob would definitely stop and attack. This was called training someone. Choo choo!!

Here is the story, complete with screenshots. I believe a Bard would be an amazing addition to WoW.

My favorite is when he came back and was killing people in Rivervale:
[Wed Jun 12 15:58:49 2002] Kelton says out of character, ‘wtf happened here’
[Wed Jun 12 15:59:02 2002] Xebz says out of character, ‘KELTON FAST GET OUT’
[Wed Jun 12 15:59:14 2002] Kelton says out of character, ‘lol naw’
[Wed Jun 12 15:59:33 2002] Priest of Discord shouts ‘Let this fool’s meaningless death be a reminder to you all that the power of Discord is absolute!’
[Wed Jun 12 15:59:33 2002] Kelton has been slain by Priest of Discord!

Hermit. You are not a part of either faction. You have no boring, linear storyline. You have no storyline at all. You level up by professions, world quests and random quests scattered throughout the zones.

There were quite a few hermits during WoD.

Can we go ahead and NOT go to a new “realm”? Let’s go back to Azeroth for at least one expansion please.

Agreed, but sometimes you have to mitigate the damage if they’re forging ahead with a bad idea. We don’t need another Light class, and we don’t need another Fel Class. We have no Void classes and only one void spec. Depending on how you classify “Life” we have 1-4 classes.

Death has 1 in the DK
Order, depending on what counts, has either 1 spec in Arcane or a few classes in Mage, Warrior

necromancer… the summoning and reviving of undead, unholy beings and casting powerful curses. this way, they can fix unholy dk and affliction warlock to be extremes on opposite sides of the spectrum, like they should be.

That name sure rings a bell. But I was not on a pvp server, I was on Povar. Its funny the things I remember from so long ago. I remember someone complaining about getting killed by Kizdean Gix and I said “silly rabbit, Gix is for kids!” and got a few laughs. Even though he killed me plenty of times when I was not looking out for him. I miss the trains, in EQ you feared losing exp and dying, made it exciting to play, in wow I fear nothing.

Tinker! And with it … our very own instanced workshop, where we can modify our Mech.

And Bard should be a profession.
