Will there ever be another “Druid type” class

Community General Discussion

What I mean by that is will there ever be/could there ever be another class that fills all the roles of the type tree? (Caster,melee, tank,healer)

Any thing in the lore that could be made into a class that could cover all the specs like Druid does ?

Before the release of Evoker, a lot of people suggested Tinker as an “All roles” class.

Ranged DPS with Missiles and Turrets
Ranged Healer with healing shots & grenades.
Melee DPS in a Shredder suit
Melee Tank in a big Mecha like Gazlowe or Mekkatorque.

It was a pretty popular idea before Evoker.

However, I don’t PERSONALLY think that Omni-roll classes are ever going to happen again.
I’d LOVE to see more classes that can fulfill every roll. But Blizzard seems to love their 2 spec classes now

I think Shaman could do this with very little effort. Only the will to do it is missing.

Enhance could pretty easily be broken up like Guardian/Feral are currently. Given a tanking option and a DPS option. Would be pretty sweet.

Shaman is really the only one that could right now and make sense. 4 elements, 4 specs, Earth=tank, Wind=melee DPS, Fire=ranged DPS, Water=healing.

I would also like a Shaman Tank spec. Could be fun.

They kind of had a start of it when I think it was one of the weapon strikes did increased threat. Can’t remember what ability it was, but could have sworn there was one.

Then they could name the specs, Earth (Tank), Air (Ranged DPS), Fire (Melee DPS), and Water (Healer). Seems pretty class defining and fills out the class overall.

Sorry >.< but I kinda think Evoker could pull it off too.

Basically just needs some sort of tanking spec (…new/4th talent tree) and it’s basically “the other Druid class”

  • melee DPS
  • ranged DPS
  • healer
  • tank

probably tinker, because they can use technology to do anything, that’s the lore…if there is ever going to be a steampunk setting of an expansion.

people need to let this idea die… theres no reason to have them… we already have engineers as a profession… everything the class would be able to od jsut add it there and allows roles use only items

Rockbiter, their earth themed weapon enhancement in Vanilla causes your basic attacks to deal increased damage and generate increased threat.

If I could Tank for my friends in a big Mecha like Gelbin Mekkatorque, that would be so cool.

They’re not gonna let a Profession Heal, Or Tank, or Do DPS. Those are class things.

But it could be a Tinker in my Mech and also have an Engineering Battle res, and all my cool engineering toys that would be even better.

still needs to die… it will be like evoker… neat at first but no one will care for them past 1st month

Imo, monk should have had an rdps spec (4 celestials, 4 specs). My take is it eould have been Chi Ji themed.

17

Priest had a self-melee buff during original beta and a bit after release.

I’m still pushin for Rogue tank.

19

A Dodgy, Dexterous, Dashing rogue tank could be cool.

I agree! My guild always tells me, “you’re already a tank!”. Because every time a tank dies I get aggro and just tank it until they get brezed lol
