Why is introducing the Dark Ranger class / spec a stupid idea?
Follow me:
The three most popular (and coolest) "heroes" of warcraft are: Arthas, Illidan and Sylvannas. (the latter fills a place so special in the heart of the developers that it is already the protagonist of the last 3 cinematics of the expansions).
- Arthas is a Death Knight: Blizzard made this class playable.
- Illidan is a Demon Hunter: Blizzard made this class playable.
- Sylvannas is a Dark Ranger: Blizzard .... wtf?
You see?
In true, for me Dark Ranger should be a playable class and not just another Hunter spec. For reasons of lore many say that it would make more sense if it were a fourth Hunter spec.
I don't care which way the developers would deploy the Dark Ranger ... but it's unfortunate that we still don't playfully have the class of one of the most iconic characters in the game.
If you stop to think rationally ... if we still don't have the option to play as Dark Ranger ... something is wrong.
As you can see it is not a stupid idea.
Also, playing as a ranged rogue with dark powers is something that would make many people abandon their main char and try the Dark Ranger. If a developer reads what I'm saying he will understand.
It's sad that we still don't have that playable class in the game. It looks like someone at Blizzard got lazy halfway.
But I'm sure that the time you continue to follow the flow of the playable hero-classes... Dark Ranger is INEVITABLE.
When that day comes we talk more.
