How many more classes can the game sustain?

How many more classes can the game sustain? How many more until one class is a copy/paste of another and everything starts to run together?

[paralleluniverse]

0 to 1. 2 would be pushing it.

3 or more would turn the game into a balance nightmare.

Ideally there should be no more classes. 1 more class, while not ideal, is acceptable.

[Teriz]

One more. Make it an even 12.

[SL1200]

They can't balance the classes and specs they already have in the game there is no good reason to add more classes. I'd rather see them spend some time on 5 mans then develop another class.

[melodramocracy]

The game needs fewer classes than it currently has, with more specs to choose from. (Some that multiple classes can access if they wish).

That way, the class you play actually means far less than the spec you're using. A wider array of choices, less of a need for alts, more hybridization. Win-win.

[Viradiance]

1, make it 12 total.

3 Cloth
3 Leather
3 Mail
3 Plate

Preferably the fourth plate user would be heal-dps-dps with an Int Healing spec, Int Melee spec, and Agi Ranged spec (using bows)

[FuxieDK]

NONE!!!

Just look at DKs.. Blizzard isn't finished balancing it, and it was added 4,5 years ago.. Then they added Monk which, mist likely, also will take 5+ years to balance..

Stop adding new classes and spend the resources better..

The sky is the limit. Blizzard has money coming out of their ears. What blizzard wants, blizzard can do.

[cFortyfive]

With classes being already as close as they are I see no reason why there should be a limit on the overall amount.

[Ragashii]

Should be 12 so that all the loot tokens have the same number of classes on them.

[Terahertz]

Should be 12 so that all the loot tokens have the same number of classes on them.

Sounds fair and logical, though, wouldn't it be better for there to be 4 groups of classes then? Each token having 3 classes on them. Might make it more fair?

[Grumpy Old Man]

No more, please.

[Therougetitan]

Just one more mail class

[Darkhallows]

I'd really only ask for one more, just to balance out the armor reqs. 3 of each would be good. Also 12 is a nice number, whereas 11 is bleh.

[The Glitch]

Maybe they should bring in a new armor special, like *Nudist* or *Wood* or *Recycled* and make more classes surrounding those...

[Zantera]

I would say maybe 1 or 2. Right now I think what's lacking is another ranged class that uses Bow/Crossbow/Gun. People can say whatever they want about Dark Ranger, but the fact is that most classes competes with other classes about gear, and Hunter is the only one that has any use for ranged weapons.

[KrazyK923]

Don't care, I still want to be a Necromancer.

I want it, I want it, I want it!

[Darsithis]

NONE!!!

Dk's are balanced just fine.

But I can't imagine any more classes. We have enough of them now.

[Deleted]

Well based on the possibilities I see we could have:
-demon hunters
-rangers
-tinkers
-dragonsworn
-invokers
-battlemages
-necromancers
-bards
-witch doctors
-spellbreakers
-wardens
-sea witches
-keepers of the grove/druids of the nightmare
-wizards(D3 style)
-runemasters

that makes 15 classes that come from WC3 alone.
But no one said they can't add completely new to the game classes ^^

[-Superman-]

Would rather just see current classes fixed and balanced and get the new skin models to go with them. Wish they'd fix the old toys cause the new toys suck.
