Of course, you read what interests you and then dismiss all the rest. You clearly didn't read the part that almost no mages master all eight schools. Enchanters are masters of the enchanting school. Mages? Mages are not.
Your argument is: exists in WC3, then it must exist in WoW. For that argument have any solidity whatsoever, then it must be true to everything WC3. If it doesn't, then the argument is baseless.All is not required. For example Cluster Rocket and Healing Spray have already made it in, and they just appeared in MoP.
Who knows what's next?
Also, cluster rocket and healing sprays exist in MoP, whereas until now you cried again and again to the high heavens that they didn't exist in WoW? Contradiction much?
Except that said arms will also strike forward. And block. And shoot missiles, and do all kinds of stuff according to your whymsical ideas, which shoots your own argument off the left field.Or simply designed to jut out from the sides like the Warlock's wings currently do.
And its for what? A glyph. You do not use demonic slash for anything other than with a glyph.
Does it exist? yes. But do we use it? no.
"Illidan shrouds himself in magical flames" a Direct quote
And the warlock: "Ignites the area surrounding the caster"
well shit, since they have that what about hunters. They have Immolation trap >.>When triggered, it does the same thing as a warlocks immolation aura =D
I hope you see the difference, if you dont, then, you are blinder than a blind man.
My Opinion? No, its not just my opinion. Its also blizzard's with them saying that glyphs are just FOR FUN.The glyph having no "lore impact" would be your opinion. I was merely pointing out that you can do almost exactly what Dark was attributing to the DH.
No, I am pointing out that each and every demon hunter has a different demonic form. You have the generic Demon form for all the generic demon hunters, And illidan gets his own, because we already know what he looks like as a demon. Do all the night elf one look similar? Probably, with Blood Elves not that far off. So, why would my Female Orc Warlock transform into a hulking purple Night Elf Male demon? right because lore tells us that we basically copied Illidans corrupted form. Thats it.So we should create an entirely new class because the demon forms have different hues?
There was a reason why I called it Bolts of Chaos, and not Chaos bolt. Chaos bolt does straight shadow damage (gameplay mechanics), but this is for destruction, and clearly is not the meteors the Demon Hunters were shooting out in wc3. Nor are they the blue firebolts that illidan was using in Black temple. We have yet to get the bolts that they were using, so, we never got them.I do believe his argument was that Metamorphosis could only do Shadow and Fire damage. I was simply correcting his mistake. Besides, Destruction already has Chaos Bolt.
Meta has 3 schools. Shadow, fire, and Physical (chaos wave).
Yes you can, and its meant for pvp, at that, or during alpha and beta when they were considering making demonology a tank spec. With it, you stick to the healer/caster w.e., but even then its terrible when you can have a two felguards doing the same thing and having an extra stun.Whether or not it maxes DPS damage doesn't change the fact that you CAN sacrifice your Fel/Wrathguard and gain a charge ability.
Plus, if you try to say that pursuit is like a demon hunter, then you clearly think warriors are demon hunters with charge. its the same mechanic. -.-
darklance can be mind spike as well. Oh right. But since it has a projectile its automatically shadowbolt, since its shadow damage. Its Different projectile art, and sound. go look it up. I did. So what you are saying Incinerate=fireball then, since incinerate is firedamage and so is fireball. Oh wow, same school of magic casts.Since this seems to go above your head, let me help you out some;
Darklance= Shadowbolt
Aura of Immolation= Immolation Aura
Demon Rush= Pursuit
Gift of Sargeras= Grimore of Sacrifice
Taunt= Provocation
http://www.wowhead.com/npc=55532#abilities
Demon Rush= Charge oh shit
Aura of Immolation= IMMOLATION from wc3.
Gift of sargares= METAMORPHOSIS, not grimore of sac
Taunt= Taunt. Provocation cant even taunt Mannoroth
Because it does not make you a demon hunter at all. If they make a 4th spec for warlocks where I can be demon hunter, then fine. if they revamp Demonology to tank spec demon hunter, then fine. But a damn glyph that has no canon behind it attempting to be board and sword for a warrior, and even fails at that, has no reason to be in game. The truth behind the glyph is that it was the tank spec, and you were permanent meta form, but since they cleared away from it, it got shelved, and when the designer was asked what he wanted to add to the glyphs, he gave them a pocket tank, that got nerfed into nothingness. The fact of the matter is, it has nothing canon to it, and some wackjob spec a, now, ex designer made, and blizzard dont even talk about it. The glyph gives you nothing a demon hunter is, and is basically an afk form. If you try to say its canon, then you are saying all the wacky and silly glyphs out there that are clearly not canon, are canon.Let's not. You clearly dislike the glyph. It doesn't change the fact that the glyph exists, was designed by Blizzard, and for all intents and purposes makes you a Demon Hunter.
How does it feel when you do the same to demon hunter threads?Feel free to have the last word on this. I'm not interested in restarting this "debate" in a thread about Tinkers.
And an Enchanter is synonymous with Mage.
Or it just means that Blizzard that Blizzard hasn't gotten around to adding it in WoW yet.Your argument is: exists in WC3, then it must exist in WoW. For that argument have any solidity whatsoever, then it must be true to everything WC3. If it doesn't, then the argument is baseless.
They were both added in 5.4. Where's the contradiction? My main argument has always been that they don't exist within the classes or Engineering.Also, cluster rocket and healing sprays exist in MoP, whereas until now you cried again and again to the high heavens that they didn't exist in WoW? Contradiction much?
Nah, they can still do all that stuff and jut out to the sides, just like this one;Except that said arms will also strike forward. And block. And shoot missiles, and do all kinds of stuff according to your whymsical ideas, which shoots your own argument off the left field.

Point is that design-wise, Blizzard has plenty of options.

Go ahead. Doesn't change the underlying problem with a Demon Hunter class.
As much as 'nurse' is a synonym with 'surgeon'. [sarcasm off]
And, until then, your argument is baseless, therefore invalid.Or it just means that Blizzard that Blizzard hasn't gotten around to adding it in WoW yet.
The Contradiction? The contradiction is you saying, in this very thread, that those don't exist in WoW.They were both added in 5.4. Where's the contradiction? My main argument has always been that they don't exist within the classes or Engineering.
Oh, they do. Except you don't give them options. You want that freaking huge mecha-backpack that can become a piloted golem. The backpack in that fanart? Can't do that.Nah, they can still do all that stuff and jut out to the sides, just like this one;

Wouldn't that ruin the engineering proffession?
Does that also apply to Tinkers and Engineers?
Again, the thesaurus is your friend.
The base of my argument is that WoW classes come from WC3 heroes and units. This has been proven true multiple times.And, until then, your argument is baseless, therefore invalid.
Link.The Contradiction? The contradiction is you saying, in this very thread, that those don't exist in WoW.
As long as its a hammer tank strapped on its back, and has the majority if abilities from WC3, HotS, and WoW, things will be just fine.Oh, they do. Except you don't give them options. You want that freaking huge mecha-backpack that can become a piloted golem. The backpack in that fanart? Can't do that.

A Tinker raiding in a group has no effect on an Engineer creating a pair of googles.
Pretty pathetic evasion there. I'd still like to hear some synonyms that get you out of the corner you painted for yourself.
That does not automatically mean all WC3 units would be converted into WoW classes. On the contrary most will not.
Current meaning of tinkerer is a hobbyist/amateur engineer, especially an amateur repairer/modder of things.
Pick up any dictionary and be amazed to have that confirmed and having learned something new today.

Nope, not in WoW. Technology is technology. If you deal with technology, you are an engineer, no matter what title you give to yourself: tinker, siegecrafter, technician, etc.
An argument that you elaborate many times saying the classes are 'faithful' copies from WC3 unit, an argument that has been proven wrong many times, citing mages, shamans, death knights and monks. An argument that was countered many times by statements saying that if the 'tinker' class is made into the game, it'll be heavily altered, just like all the aforementioned classes would, and whymsical elements will be removed.The base of my argument is that WoW classes come from WC3 heroes and units.

Which you know it won't. Too whymsical to be taken seriously.As long as its a hammer tank strapped on its back, and has the majority if abilities from WC3, HotS, and WoW, things will be just fine.
There is no evasion. The point is that profession and class thematic overlap means nothing.
Actually almost all have. The ones who haven't have becomes aspects of existing WoW classes. The only ones who haven't participated in this process are the Goblin Tinker and the Goblin Alchemist. The last WC3 hero unit who was in a similar position: The Brewmaster.That does not automatically mean all WC3 units would be converted into WoW classes. On the contrary most will not.

I do believe that Tony Stark in Iron Man 3 referred to himself as a "tinker". The Tinker can be anything from an inventor to a person who fiddles with machines. The moniker fits IMO.

Engineer in that sense is no different than calling anyone who swings a weapon as a warrior. However its pretty clear that even though the Paladin is a "holy warrior", its not the same as the Warrior class.
You mean like the whimsical element of throwing barrels of beer at people from the Brewmaster hero?An argument that you elaborate many times saying the classes are 'faithful' copies from WC3 unit, an argument that has been proven wrong many times, citing mages, shamans, death knights and monks.

If its serious enough for WC3, its serious enough for WoW.Which you know it won't. Too whymsical to be taken seriously.
Hah. Nice wordplay. In your context even a mage and a priest can be called 'warriors', because they fight in wars. But no. You want to deal with tech in WoW? You study engineering and become an engineer.
Nowhere near as whymsical as your humongous, screen-cluttering, does-all-fixes-all mecha-backpack.You mean like the whimsical element of throwing barrels of beer at people from the Brewmaster hero?
Nope. Because in WC3 it was added simply for laughs, for an April Fools joke, not part of canon. Remember: in WC3 two goblins are a single unit. You don't see that in WoW, do you?If its serious enough for WC3, its serious enough for WoW.
Its not wordplay at all.
Blizzard calls the Enhancement Shaman a totemic "warrior". Does that mean that Warriors and Shaman are the same? Is Shaman simply a "title" for a Warrior?war·ri·or [wawr-ee-er, wawr-yer, wor-ee-er, wor-yer] Show IPA

1.
a person engaged or experienced in warfare; soldier.
Which is simply your opinion.Nowhere near as whymsical as your humongous, screen-cluttering, does-all-fixes-all mecha-backpack.
So were Pandaren.Nope. Because in WC3 it was added simply for laughs, for an April Fools joke, not part of canon.
What was the name of that race added in MoP again?
You just proved my point.
It's not opinion. It's a fact. Giant mecha-backpack that can throw rockets, shoot lasers and sawblades, drop robo-goblin factories and even transform into a golem with the wearer inside piloting it is way more whymsical than a guy throwing beer on their adversaries to make them drowsier and set them on fire.Which is simply your opinion.
Which were made into canon before vanilla WoW was even live, unlike the tinker which remains out of continuity, out of canon.So were Pandaren.
What was the name of that race added in MoP again?
So is an Enhancement Shaman a Shaman, or is it a Warrior?
Nope, that's just your opinion. Plenty of people would say the exact opposite.It's not opinion. It's a fact. Giant mecha-backpack that can throw rockets, shoot lasers and sawblades, drop robo-goblin factories and even transform into a golem with the wearer inside piloting it is way more whymsical than a guy throwing beer on their adversaries to make them drowsier and set them on fire.
Yet they're mentioned throughout WoW, which indicates that they are cannon.Which were made into canon before vanilla WoW was even live, unlike the tinker which remains out of continuity, out of canon.
Your denial of basic facts that have been proven to you over and over again is truly astonishing.
