No more edgy classes

[AwkwardSquirtle]

You mean stop implementing lore based classes and put in retarded ass fan garbage? The absolute state of these forums.

Which "retarded ass fan garbage" are you talking about in particular? I hope it's not tinkers, who have been a part of the universe since Warcraft 3.

Imagine defending DH's and calling any other class easy mode lmfao

Imagine saying someone is defending DH when there’s nothing about defending it anywhere... what am I defending? Not sure what there was to defend lol.

Just saying why other classes are more populous. Imagine a class that’s been around for 15 years being more popular than a class that’s been around for 3

*checks if I'm in the lore section*
ok good
Who fucking cares as long as the class performs well?

Dark Rangers would be elf-based though. That's where the elf hate is emanating from.

YEs, and I am totally opposed to that, I hate the idea too, dark ranger shouldn't happen before a normal ranger, that should only happen as a "skin" to the hunter class, not as it's own unique class.

I just want the Sonic OC class

If I can't play as Darkedgebloodsword with his flaming katana that eats souls what's the point anymore?

[Bane-Thunder-God]

I really hope they chill with the edgy classes. 2/3 they added have been like that. We’re due for a non edge class like bards or even tinkers.

Yeah right. If they don't do an edgy class, then players will complain it is lazy and too safe and how Blizzard don't take risks... They just can't win with this toxic community.

Again wrong because they are training other races so it wouldnt be just elf based stop being so damned pedantic.

The only non-elf Dark Ranger is Nathanos. The rest of them (and there's probably about 20+ of them) are all elves.

Also let's be real, the only reason you (and others) want to play a Dark Ranger is so you can look like this;

[Jibjub]

I feel like "edgy" is a term only edgy people would use... maybe I'm just old.

[Teriz]

And your point being?

You want to look like this ffs:



There's actually very few fanart concepts on google compared to Dark ranger...

I'd rather play as the Gnome honestly. Looks far more interesting than running around as a dead elf in a bikini.

Also I'm not surprised there's more fanart for the half-naked Dark Rangers than a machine based Tinker. Porn is always more popular than everything else.

DK = Edgy
Monk = Not Edgy
DH = Edgy
Tinker (BARF) = Edgy
Bard = Not Edgy

bard = cringey, unfunny meme shit that everyone who plays dnd for 5min chooses and acts like they're the funniest shit ever when all they actually do is shit up every person's session with their lame humor.

not everyone is a cumbrain(i mean, i kinda am, but not in wow)

i want to play dark ranger/necromancer because i like necromancy. i like undead things.

Then that should tell you more about popularity, if somethings popular its sells and makes lots of money if its not popular it doesnt sell and well thats just bad business.

At least elves look like adults unlike the kiddy shit gnomes pulls off... disgusting I tell you tbh.

Popularity is fleeting. DKs were popular once, and now they're sinking fast. Once the shine wears off on Demon Hunters, they'll be following suit. The most popular classes are Palladins, Druids, and Hunters. None of them are edgy, and none of them are based on one-off gimmicks.

In the end, its better to base a class on sound and interesting concepts. A class based on hot undead elves and Hunter gameplay is not a recipe for long term success.

[ClassicIsTerrible]

I hope they stop adding classes and fix the existing ones first.

They're still leagues better that Classic's iteration of class design and balance.

[derpkitteh]

You're totally a cumbrain all over the place darlin

lol, the models spark many imaginings, but i take all that to the internet.

none of my characters in wow actually use any slutmog(my warlock kinda did at one point, but it was less about the sexy and more about how cool she looked with this red and black set i made. you can see it in the warlock transmog thread.)

Shadow should be its own class. It makes little sense to be a spec. It exists only to make more priest races.

Shadow's had the cultist/lovecraft vibe from the very beginning.

Mechanically, though, it used to be a support spec that restored health and mana to the group by doing damage. Retail Shadow has been removed from this context for years, and it's been suffering an identity crisis as a result.

You "pls no edgy classes" people are the worst and here is the reason why.

Whenever people asked for them, you discredited them for not being "relevant" to a said expansion. Now that the lore/themes are pointing towards an "edgy class", you simply claim you had enough of "edge" when clearly relevant themes are underpresented.

You had your way with Monk and it turned out to be the least played class by evidence, regardless of what people in denial might think.

Let's assume we get a Death themed expansion with an ongoing branching plot of Dragons. Will you be happy if you ruin the theme package with a clown class like Bard or Tinker?

In conclusion, if Blizz decides to do a curveball expansion and throw the story out of the window, what can I say - enjoy your lighthearted class. But if a serious expansion happens and your demand brings a silly class just because you claim that you had enough of "edgy classes", an opportunity for countless others will be wasted due to your vocal persistence.

Plot twist: the Bard class only sings death metal.

Are the only options lighthearted or edgy? Why can't we just get a new "normal" class for a change?

Dragonsworn would be pretty normal, heroic even.

I really hope people grow a thicker skin so they stop being triggered by the theme of a class in a video game.

By edgy I guess you mean with anything related to death/darkness and/or variations of it?

Death Knight: death theme overall, but the 3 specs differ vastly from one another.

Priest: 1 edgy spec. The other two are on par with Paladin in terms of non-edginess.

Warlock: Demo - in its current iteration, the only spec in the game that revolves around summoning (don't think it fits the category); Aff - The edgiest of the 3 specs; Destro - I don't really see it as edgy, more as a pyromaniac that wants to set the world on fire, really.

DH: is it really edgy? IMO Illidan was meant to be edgy, and since he's the first figure you associate with the class I'm not sure it counts.

All of this is a matter of opinion anyway.

-edit-

You know what would be edgy, though? A Blood themed spec that hurts itself to casts skills or something.
