Demon Hunter/Tinker/Blademaster

[Esmi]

DH wouldn't make any sense - that would be a nother melee letherclass - like monk (if they are like Illidan) - from the armor-balancing perspective - it has to be a heavy armor class - like Hunter and Shaman - Tinker would fit in

can somebody elaborate the differences between a blademaster and all the other str-melee specs we have right now?

Blademasters's are typically light armored, usually just wearing a kilt, boots, gloves, banner, warbeads, and a banner. It's hard to find a W3 model in a large picture, but heres what it looks like:



They are also apparently spiritual and have some form of magic, being able to Mirror Image and turn invisible for a short amount of time.
Also move very fast.

Demon Hunter would be either leather or mail, Blademaster would be mail and tinker would be plate. Tinker wouldn't be that hard to come up three or four specs with (healing, tanking armor based, ranged weapon wielder and spell damage (the last two could be merged for 3 specs), Demon Hunter too (tanking, melee DPS and ranged DPS) Blademaster doesn't have clear specs, and I they are very unlikely to have anymore pure classes.

I don't think Tinkers would wear plate. Think of a mechanic trying to fix a car in a set of plate armor. Funny but not practical.

I still insist on a mail-wearing, gun/crossbow-wielding Tinker. Mechanics, explosives and chemistry as specs.

If there was one thing I wanted out of Warcraft, it's having an armor set that actually looked like some of the heroes from Warcraft 3.

There's no Paladin sets that actually make you look like Paladins, no Mountain King looking sets, no Blademaster sets.

Orc Blademaster

Awesome!

I just can't see how they could come up with 3 new melee specs for BM, considering all the melee specs already in game. But if they do, I'd definitely play that class.

I need a "I don't care" option.

There is. It's that little red [X] in the top corner of your screen.

I support this! Think it would fit far more well then DH, since there is only 2 mail-using classes now and I cant see DH with mail armor. As well can see Tinker with ranged weaponry and would make them second to use it with Hunter. Also does Tinker overall sound just much cooler than DH imo.

While I would like to see a demon hunter, I think they would wear leather. We just received a leather wearer, so I think they would save demon hunter for a later expansion (maybe even the one where we fight sargeras, and I'm still holding to that one being several expansions away still). Tinker could be likely, but maybe they would save this for the South Seas expansion?

Personally, I don't see a class happening next expansion. Would be a good surprise, but I doubt it.

As for blade master, there has been denial from blizz to make this, because it would be too similar to an arms warrior. If anything, I could see them reworking arms to better suit this idea.

Allowing Arms Warriors to equip a Shield and 2H weapon would be one way to go.
