If class skins are 10.0 feature, Dark Ranger for Hunter and Necromancer for Warlock make perfect sense as pre-order bonus.

Ah, you mean that they can't add new gameplay niches?
In the sense of: "spellcaster","spellcaster with pets", "spellcaster with dots", "physical range", "physical range with pets", etc? Well, maybe.
The important thing is that it FEELS different, not that if truly is.
If you look closely, some mechanics are very similar:
- DK runes are like auto-regenerating combo points. Same as Monk chi.
- Paladin holy power is like Warlock soul shards.
- DH fury is like Warrior rage.
etc

I mean, yeah, me and 90-95% of the player base. I'm a nearly 40 year old man at this point. My reaction time, hand-eye coordination, etc., isn't what it was when WoW launched. I need all the help I can get, and having to overcome Blizzard's balancing overreactions feels pretty bad. Also, I have a career, a family, and other interests. If I'm going to play I want to be able to jump on and do the things that are fun and then log off. Even if every spec CAN do something, look at the recent world first race to see which ones actually do in the public perception. That public perception filters down to the lowest levels of the game. So if the class/spec I've poured all of my time into is perceived as being underpowered, it's going to be more difficult and time consuming for be to find groups to participate in content.
He calls Dark Rangers a race. *facepalm*
The dude can't even see how they would be different from Hunters and Rogues, in terms of abilities, or that they could be more than just 2 elf races. All of which i have proven to be wrong:

While you do make valid points and as much as I would like Dark Rangers to be a class or an allied race, it's more likely they're be a class skin or customization. And at this point I'll take it. Thank you for not being an asshole like the guy earlier twisting my words. He should be a News Anchor for Fox.

I'm inclined to agree with you on this. It was probably going to be a class at one time and Blizz decided against it.

Pick one.
If I don't respond to something you tagged me in, assume one of two things.
1) Your post was too stupid to acknowledge, or
2) Your post is cringe and not worth replying to.
Alternatively, if it happens a lot I probably have you blocked due to one of the above things. Thank you.
Dark ranger is, at most, a spec for Hunters. More likely a new transmog option. Making it a full class would be such a fucking waste.
*puts on tinfoil hat*
I think they fully planned a Dark Ranger concept as a class, and somewhere in development scrapped the idea.
The cutting room floor bits were split up amongst the Covenants. So in a way, yeah, they were 'testing' these for a Dark Ranger likely because they were all once Dark Ranger Class abilities at some point. I can even see this being the reason why the Legendary Bow drop has Dark Ranger abilities, since they would have done some work on new spell FX. They would be put to good use on the Legendaries.
This new questline opening up more customization options and formalizing Dark Ranger as a 'class skin' would probably be the closest thing we get to a true playable Dark Ranger.
If T&E said "jumping off a cliff" was going to be a new class, would you believe them?

Because there is only one using bows/guns?
Making another bow user is the archetype that makes the most sense.
We have multiple melee users, sharing weapons, helle even sharing weapons with casters (though different stats obviously).
Multiple shield users, multiple staff and wand users.
Only 1 bow and arrow.

Honestly, I have cooled to the Dark Ranger idea. While initially I felt it was covered by Hunter, if they elaborated on the class concept by merging things such as the Dark Wardens from BfA and the Night Warrior into one sort of merged class, it would provided alot of room to have an actual unique class and allow multiple races on both factions to use it. Kind of like how Hunter is composed of Ranger, Marksman and Beast Master concepts, etc.
That said, Tinkers objectively deserve to get in first.
