So what do you guys think the next hero class will be. Most likely the hero class will be released in the expansion after Cataclysm since Blizzard seems to be following a pattern. 2 new races, hero class, 2 new races, ?hero class?
I am personally thinking that it will either be monk or bard. I know Blizzard made the april fools joke of the bard but I think that it still may be a possibility as a buffer class. Also if you are choosing other make sure to post what your "other" is and what it would do.
Necromancer: Would be like a warlock except with undead. Ghouls, Zombies etc. I don't think this is possible anymore since Lich King is "dead". And because if you combine DK and Lock you would get this essentially. To similar.
Monk: I think it is the most likely. Blizzard already has a monk NPC (see Trial of the Champion) with a few special abilities. I think it would be interesting, there wouldn't be a need for weapons since their fists would be their "weapons". Hardest part would be to ensure scaling worked properly.
Bard: A support class. Does a little bit of healing, little bit of DPS, A LOT OF BUFFS. Such as raid wide immunity to fear, heroism effect (yes, i mean it), a lesser effect of class abilities such as all stats increase by 50 (assuming druids buff is 100). A +8% stat increase to everyone, etc. Don't know how blizzard would work it just some ideas.
Demon Hunter: As the Warcraft 3 class look it up. Would be easiest to transfer to WoW since they have the entire basis of it set out. I think this is likely I just dont think it will be next. I believe this class would be released during the expansion where we actually kill Sargeras.
Runemaster: Not even gonna go into it. Only added because Blizzard considered it. RUnemaster+Necromancer essentially = Death Knight.
Racial Specific: Try to come up with ideas for this, I think this would be a wonderful idea. Could be added in when 2 races get added for more class/race combo's. Plus it would give each race some individuality.
