A battle mage that wears mail, to me, sounds too much like enh shaman.
In my world I’d want the class to be polearm based.
A ranged spec that uses throwing attacks based on their equipped spear.
A tanking spec that uses a 2h spear in one hand, and a shield in another.
Right now I don’t really want another melee. Every class that has been added has only had melee options. We recently had a ranged hunter option turned into melee.
Oh yeah, it sounds just like a shaman, except maybe some flavor twists. (Less elemental-calling and more cerebral-manifestation?)
I’m hip to a shield tanking class. The monk already has a staff-tank aesthetic, too.
And maybe go the DH route if one ranged dps spec and a tank, for simplicity.
I’m surprised there still isn’t a Ranger class. Before the game even came out, they talked about it being a hero class (which hero classes themselves weren’t even implemented until Wrath). They could definitely go crazy with all the cool ranged abilities in the fantasy space.
Necromancer isn’t a no no, they are an amazing class. I don’t think a bard would be fun though.
I wouldnt be surprised if we didnt see Wardens appear as a class soon enough.
Previously they didnt show up much in the lore. But since Legion and now BfA, we have a lot of interaction with them. Additionally it didnt make much sense at they were a Night Elf and thus Alliance only. But now that the Horde has Dark Wardens led by Sira, possible.
The trouble would be figuring out which races to give them to. Obviously you would do the two pairs of Elves for both sides… but then that just feels like DH 2.0. Perhaps Humans, Worgen, Kul Tiran, Dwarf and DI Drawf for blue boys. Then Orc, Maghar, Troll, Zandalari and Forsaken for the red boys.
that could be a hunter, as far as i know, sylvanas and her sister are rangers? if so, the marksman specc can have a revamp,
the idea could be not to make a whole class of something that exist, is about mechanics.
and we havent seen something like a mele ranged cloth 
Don’t bother making a tinker class unless we’re getting a mechanical race. Good grief, will we have to start unlocking new classes in the future?
Mindtaker!
Booweeoooo!
I just dont want more classes that are “only one race on each side. an elf. can be”
Tinker. Mail class tank/heals/DPS
I wouldn’t care if it was a garbage class, I would stop everything to play one.
Something keeps messing up and my post keep getting withdrawn. sorry about it.
Here is a list according to lore that blizzard can add to the game if they wanted.
Tinker, a class that uses engineering skills. ( I believe this would be the next one)
Dark ranger, a mix between.a shadow priest and a marksman hunter. [ i so want this one]
Blademaster, a mix between arms warrior, assassination rogue and windwalker monk.
Blood mage, a wizard using both the fel and arcane combined with fire. ( sounds like warlock to me though)
Necromancer, a mix between a warlock and a death knight. ( Or just play death knight?)
Spellbreaker, a mix between an arms warrior and an arcane mage. ( Possiable but i figured paladin is a warrior that uses holy magic but I suppose they could make something work)
Races i would like to see Vulpera for Horde and Dryad for Alliance
What would a tinkers main attribute be?
If agility or intellect I could see a tinker using mail.
whatever it is i hope you have to reach the next expac’s level cap, do a lengthy rep grind and then wait for a content patch before you are allowed to use it.
I am going to think intellect at least. Tinkers seem to be all about out thinking their enemies.
Maybe they should just give us back our old classes first.
tinker feels more like a better plate class than mail or cloth. what about a mail wearing “dragon knight” class, fit w/ a chrono healing spec, a battle mage spec, and a tank spec w/ a 2h winged halberd and shield. a class which embodies the magics of all dragon flights throughout all 3 specs but perhaps favors some to heal, some to tank, some to dps, etc.
you want to make mechanical pets,devices,bombs and guns?we have that with a gnome hunter with engineering.we already pretty much have that in wow.
now a cloth wearer with a 2hd sword with wither shields or high dodge abilities would be real cool and something wow doesnt have.
hunter is the only ranged physical spec in the entire game… pretty sure we could use a few more ranged archetypes before anything gets stale. I want a ranged rogue spec and a ranged tinker dps spec to go alongside the tinker tank and or healing spec.
I remember sappers (Horde) & demo squads (Alliance) from Warcraft II. I say have an over arching class designation (I’m avoiding the word - engineer) where one spec is a Tinker, another a Sapper/Demo, and the last a Tech Medic (or similar title).
Mail, guns, & bombs should be involved. I know others have broken down Tinkers into 3 various specs, but it sounds more like a sub-class than a full one.
And of course I’m way out in left field with all this because they still have to clean up current classes to a certain degree.
ranged classes you say?ele shaman,shadow priest,3 mage specs,bm &mm hunter,demo & aff warlock and boomkin thats 10 ranges specs i think we are covered on ranged classes.
we dont have a 2hd sword cloth class thats could be some sort of battle mage or have high dodge.that would be cool we got ranged covered.
Desperately need a new healing class. All the healing classes right now are so homogenous it’s awful. Sure there are minor differences, but overall they’re basically the same. A nice ranged hybrid dps/healer class would be ideal.
