That is a hugely restrictive definition that tries to apply to classes what I stated applied to ***races***.
Who said they were? They are a massive tech based army. As an example of tech users in the game, I'd say they count.Iron Horde has got nothing to do with Horde
The big trouble with that figure is you just plucked it out of thin air because it makes your argument sound good. The real figure is much higher.It's still 1% when all the intentional logic fails are cleaned off the table.
Yes...but who really cares what other RPGs do? A Bard simply needs to be a musical class. Everything else...including role in game...is optional. If Blizzard wants to copy the trope closely, it can...but it doesn't have to.They can, but as I have said already three times it wouldn't be the bard class that exists in all other RPGs because all of those previous ones were support classes.
And yet they have nowhere said or used the words "too much".
Which is why we are guessing how many more classes. I think 1 or 2 more. It may be none. But if they are already complaining about the huge amount of work and effort it takes to balance the existing setup of 34 specs, they aren't going to be keen on adding classes at all. 0-2 seems feasible. 3 or more seems unlikely barring a reworking of the class/spec system.
