Engineer/Alchemist class

[Flower Milk]

Cross posted from the WoW forums:

I would love to have a class based on these 2 professions.

Possible ideas:
Ranged spec: Guns with robot pets and bombs. Throws potions to debuff.
Tank spec: Gets inside a robot suit and uses that to tank. Throws bombs and suit has a mixture of cannons and robot fists for melee.
Healing spec: Throws potions to heal, has support robot pets and throws potions on the ground for area of effect abilities to buff/heal. Not sure if ranged or melee, but if ranged uses a gun with a channeled beam that can also be used to heal.
Melee spec: Uses dual daggers, bombs, potions, and debuffs with bombs and potions. Not sure what else to add to this to make it special, though, give me your ideas!

What do you think? Any ideas to build upon such a class?

Plus it would be easy to implement, they already have the models for a robot suit and the models for robots in game. All they would need to do is program it and create the animations for pots and the beam gun.

This was my first response even before I opened the thread. In fact, I feared even more it was Rhamses or Teriz. Now that I have read it, I can honestly say this is a horrible idea.

This is a new and exciting idea!

EDIT: Kudos for not using the word 'tinker' in your post.

No because it would make millions of players very unhappy overnight when you obsolete their crafting professions.

What if engineer was one of hunter specs?

You could "tame" robots + have an ability similar to "exotinc pets" would be "mechanical pets" for that one spec.

Some ideas to help build on the class concept;

Good discussion. I think I'll post and give my two cents.

What, you could leave the professions there and still make a class based around this. Professions and class abilities are different.

I don't come here that often or pay attention to what gets posted here, I just saw the idea somewhere else and built upon it based on what was already in the game.

But can you throw potions at people or on the ground, have combat and support robot pets, or tank in a robot suit?
