New Hero Classes Needed? - Tauren Chieftan

[Rhamses]

People need to stop suggesting wc3 heroes as new classes. Pretty much every single wc3 hero ability has been handed out to some one in wow already.

Well, the Goblin Tinker and the Goblin Alchemist hero abilities aren't in any class currently. Both of those ability sets would work with Gnomes as well. So you have both factions covered right from the outset.

I'm pretty sure that those two are the only WC3 hero units left that have zero abilities in existing classes.

Bard Class.

Which should be a pretty big hint of what the theme of the next class will be.

As for the Tauren Chieftain, we already have Warriors and Shaman. Tauren also have Warstomp already.

I don't think any class with the name of a race in its title is going to make it into WoW as a playable class. Maybe just "chieftain" but not "tauren chieftain."

I'm gonna play a gnome tauren chieftain.

[Polarthief]

Looking at the title alone, I'm just gonna say no. Worst idea ever.

Like seriously? A class based on not only a race, but of a Horde-themed band? No thank you.

It's hard to tell if people aren't accepting the OPs joke, or are continuing on with their own joke pretending to take it seriously.

Crap, or maybe they're all serious this time instead of all joking.

Elite Tauren chieftain = bard

I have a post on my concepts for bards already. They sing (heal), dance (melee), and use a puppet (pet ranged dps).

I would love a bard sooooo much. It'd be my main Q_Q......

Demon Hunters? At least according to all the heavily-foreshadowed, subtle-as-a-brick 'hints' of an upcoming 'Burning Legion'-centered expansion.

Now, seriously, to the topic at hand:
While, technically, at least according to Blizzard, there is potential for every class idea under the sun, I believe the 'Tauren Chieftain' class wouldn't work. First, it has the exact same name as a melee, warrior-esque hero unit of Warcraft 3, the Tauren Chieftain. Second, there is nothing truly unique about the TC other than 'wielding a musical instrument'. It sounds a lot like a bard. And last but not least? It's apparently completely exclusive to the Taurens, leaving all the other 12 races with nothing.
