    New Class Idea- Strategist

    In a nod towards WoW's roots, have a class that positions/controls minions. It could be a cloth class and in effect its a ranged class. You could have all 3 roles filled. You could even throw in support functions as well. Make it a non PvP class, because I don't see how it could work.

    I’m pretty sure this is called demonology warlock.

    Imma have to ask you to flesh that idea out some more. Overall, I have no clue as to what you're suggesting, other than something that sounds loosely like a clothie DK like class that uses a more controlled Army of the Dead for the attacks

    Not only are you incorrect, you're very far off from the truth. FelPlague hit the nail on the head -> Necromancers have been present for a very long time and were even a part of warcraft 3 as a command-able unit. Some of the most influential Necromancers in the Lich King's army (cough cough Kel'Thuzad) were very much involved in the plot of WC3 Frozen Throne and throughout Wrath of the Lich King.

    Other MMOs having Wardens does not matter in this situation, WoW has it's own unique story.
    I'm quoting this guy that knows the WoW lore very well.

    I want to put this out there because i keep seeing it over and over again. I hate to be the one to say this but, Warden is not really a class. It's more of a title/group in Night Elf society, but the Warden are all pretty much Rogues believe it or not. They are a special force of elite Night Elf warrior/rogues who specialize in capturing or eliminating threats to the NEs. I know they seem like this entirely different thing based on their unique attire and weapon, but those things are really all that's keeping them from being Rogues. When you take a look at their skillset in Warcraft III, you see moves like Hide (which is basically shadowmeld), Shadow Strike, and Fan of Knives. Bet that last one sounded familiar. Warden, or Watchers, aren't really meant to be a class that goes out on adventures like we do. They are the elite guard of the Night Elves, and they serve as jailors and executioners.

    most of those are just fancy names for classes we already have: Archmage/blood mage = mage, Farseer/shadow hunter = Shaman. Then you have things that have almost nothing that doesn't already exist: Blademaster only has the stealth mechanic, Warden only has the ult. On the list I think MAYBE Warden could become a 3rd spec for DH, if Blizz wanted to go that route after Legion. Tinker/alchemist have abilities not in game, but they're so closely related to professions that even though they're pretty much the only class (let's be honest here, this would have to be 1 class) from WC3 that could be added I doubt we'll see them.

    Like Warcraft.

    You send in waves of minions/battalions.

    No. Waves of minions like in Warcraft.

    and having ANOTHER 3 dps, cloth class would be just bad....
    (love nixxiom but sometimes he can just not be great like saying how the warcraft movie was a failure in his opinion)

    i will just say what my comment on that video from 2 months ago says

    "nixxiom i really dont get your insane fetish for necromancer...

    cause really we have necromancer... affliction+unholy dk... they would have to get rid of both specs to make the necromancer a thing..."

    I'm not sure having endless army of the dead spawning running around is going to be a good idea. You still need to offer more out that just say necro. What do you see it's 3 specs being, names 5-6 of it's top spells and how they work.

    Anyone can say, I want a new class called Muzzletop that can do anything by doing spells and stuff.
