What MUST be the next class after BFA

Community General Discussion

hi, a lot of speculation has been around about the next class, but none of that speculation makes sense, so i clearly see what should be the next class.

a lot has being said about a “thinker” class, well thats idiotic and silly, “thinker” is nothing more than the enginering profession, every “thinker” gnome or goblin in the game are nothing more than an enginer, if you want more pvp with enginering stuff thats profession related, not the whole class, ask blizzard to add more pvp utility to enginering, we dont want a class that can do the same thing than a profession.

another thing we’ve heard is “necromancer”, thats a NO NO, we have enough emos and goths running around depressed with warlocks, death knights and demon hunteres, THATS ENOUGH of dark, halloween horny related stuff, not more of that please.

That being said, following the logic:

-the next class has to be a normal class (not hero) yes you should enjoy leveling from scratch, so you can remember the begginings.

-we have enough tanks, but another tanking class wont hurt because tanks are needed in pve all the time.

-we were given a tanking class and 2 leather wearers, so maybe we should get a CLOTH WEARER.

-the next class could be a caster, but we have enough iconic casters, so a new style of caster.

-the 3 role classes (healer, dps, tank) choise is not bad, classes with no pve utility are somewhat not wanted

so to the point:

-is the turn of a new cloth wearer:

A MELE/RANGED CLOTH WEARER

something like a mele-arcane mage, i remember those monks from scarlet monastery, they are like half paladin, half monk, and half caster.

or maybe what we should have is something that resembles shamans but based on cloth.

is the turn of an hybrid normal class like a mele/ranged arcane mage because we have enough caster specs, something that resembles a shaman style or arcane mage with mele but with cloth

I agree, thinker sounds like a dumb class.

now tinker on the other hand sounds like a great class.

Sword mage. Meelee magic user. Could easily have tank spec. The one from D&D 4e being a good example. I loved playing that class.

Its a classic fantasy class.

Spelling errors aside, I’m going to have to agree.

A tinker sounds like a great class to me. It’s a novel concept in Warcraft with an actual basis as well. We’ve never had a class that relied on doodads as it’s primary method of action.

Plus, Goblins, Gnomes, Dwarves, and Forsaken all meet the idea of the class. You could extend that to two new allied races at the end of BfA as well.

yeah, and its relationship to engineering could be compared to mages and enchanting, they both work on a similar premise and fantasy, but they still manage to be separate, unique, and independent.

3 cloth users.

2 mail users.

Why should the class be a cloth over mail?

Need a range/tanking mail class.

I already made my own ideas about the tinker class, i’m going to leave a link to the thread where i suggest the idea.

nah, that kind of character reminds me the leader of the gnomes, i dont want to round around hiting things with a Stillson wrench and screwdriver and clock’s gear on the back, this wont be silent hill 6

actually blizzard dug themselves into a hole here, because really the next class has to be ranged non magic, because there is only one and has to be a mail class because we only have 2.

id like to see shadow hunter, mail ranged and melee specs, and was supposed to be a hero class when the idea was initially discussed in vanilla

With how my classes feel gutted, just fixing current one should come first.

A glass cannon should still have a nuke, not a firecracker.

maybe ranged yes, but also mele, like shamans, not that “shadow” thing anymore, enough of that with D. hunters, not more horns please

13

not shadow in that manner. Vol’Jin is technically a shadow hunter.

something between a warden and what voljin is, even though i want warden as a third spec for DH

( i posted on my priest at first, this is my main)

Tinker fits ranged non magic pretty well. They could easily fit things around that theme.

a tinker class is what should come next following the pattern set by blizzard. It would be a base class like monk was when added.

It would have 3 specs. a tanking spec, a ranged dps spec, and a healing spec.

tank: mekgineer. Very straightforward. You pilot a mech.

ranged dps: sapper. focused on explosives and electricity. Uses guns and crossbows as primary weapons.

healer: alchemist/medic. this one has the most potential variety but at the end of the day it is a new healer. we know what those are.

the tinker class would use mail armor.

FYI - I think you mean Tinker not thinker.

I want a fourth spec for rogue that heals- a medic that doesn’t use magic.

Tinker class would be best, it would wear mail and be ranged and melee, (we deff need a new mail class) and it’s specs would be able to tank, heal and dps, this class would fill in a nice gap i think.
