Whatever the next class is

Dracthyr evoker is a great concept but was poorly implemented.

creates dragon magic user

best spec is earth bending
abandons monster race fantasy through creation of visage form.

If you’re going to make a monster race, make a monster race.

dragon magic is poorly depicted
Green is known for poison and sleeping mist, dracthyr evoker have no poison abilities

dragon magic is diverse, evoker should have been every role in the game. Caster tank, healer, artillery and melee dps

Yes melee caster, short ranged abilities that took advantage of the empower spell abilities to do either glaive/spear wielding dragon attacks, bites and claws( think old fist of fury)

Yes caster tank, the game on retail doesn’t have a caster tank, if you want more tanks you need to offer tank role variety, i love playing casters, love warlock tanking in SoD and the moment Elder Scrolls Online added caster tanking it is immediately what i jumped into.

I’m disagreeing with someone who would like to sacrifice a raid tier for race/class combos. I’m not disagreeing with facts. I’m disagreeing with opinions.

I’m also predicting the developers will not do this. Feel free to bookmark the thread and check back in in a year or two to see if I was right.

Probably Earthen Machine Speakers who have actively worked on Titan technology before rather than somehow shoehorning in gnome/goblin Tinkers.

Like how DHs were shoehorned into Legion right?

45

Demon hunters who specialize in hunting demons in an expansion based around hunting demons is shoehorning in now?

Yeah cuz they had to retcon illidan’s intentions to make it happen

And tinkers who specialize in technology don’t fit your bill?

47

That’s way to much work. Instead you will get a race they just make up out of nowhere that can’t wear any transmogs.

48

not like they don’t already use race generic animations

49

FFXI RDM has pretty limited animations compared to FFXIV but fair

50

As someone pointed out, older races have opened up to some of the older classes since MoP.

Let me clarify, I want the new class to be given to more/all of the races. Not mages, or druids, or whatever combinations they’re holding out on, that’s another conversation. Just talking about whatever new class is added.

My guess is if they decide to add another class it would more likely than not be more inclusive, rather than exclusive to only a few races like DH or Evoker.

52

RDM throwing a flashbang at the entire raid is an important part of the class.

After destroying your dps for brezes, it’s only fair (esp if no one is taking it)

54

I’ve said before that a class that specializes in Titan tech is more likely in a Titan-centric expansion than one that uses gnome/goblin tech, but I think the former’s existence over the latter’s would most likely become the new void elf vs. high elf debate. As in, we get machine speakers and tinker supporters start begging for a tinker class skin or glyphs for gnome/goblin machines, while normal people are happily enjoying having a new class at all.

55

I just hope it’s a cloth wearing class considering we have never had a cloth wearing class added to the game (plate, 2 leather, and mail).

56

They’ll just keep pointing at Mimiron and trying to ignore that 99% of titan tech is nothing like gnome/goblin stuff at all.

Funny thing is, Survival Hunter was kind of like this, but backwards. Where RDM is predominantly ranged, zips in to melee, then flips out, Survival was predominantly melee, flips out to throw eagles from ranged, and zips back in to melee.

But yeah, nothing in WoW is as stylish and flashy as RDM.

58

I’d be guilty of that. If I make a goblin tinker, I want the goblin aesthetic. Personally I’d hope Blizz would put in the effort, like they did with druid forms, paladin mounts and shaman totems.

59

True, but its worth remembering that is because we started with three clothies vs two of everything else. Had to even the score first. Actually, as in all things, demon hunter was a mistake towards that goal. If it was mail, then we would have been balanced at three a piece. Then evoker could have beem a clothie, if necessary.

Just give everyone another spec with a new role (except for druids coz they do it all already). Then make Warlocks tank.

But yeah, I’m just silently sitting back waiting for an actual proper ranged DPS to be added. We lost one with Survival Hunter, and Evoker barely counts because it’s so short ranged…
