Necromancer is my preferred logical choice. Bard is my preferred long-shot choice.
I don't want Tinker at all. I'd take Dark Ranger before them.

I'd prefer a class that hasn't been speculated on, hasn't been discussed endlessly about, and really has not been established as a "thing" in the lore. Would be nice for a fresh new concept out of left field from Blizzard.

There's one small problem with that: technology of different races has a different 'flair' to it. They'd have to make 'skins' for their summons, totem-style, or face an outcry about using goblin/gnome stuff no matter the race - which would look weird in some cases (such as if the Draenei could be tinkers in style of artificers).
As for bards... I don't think the competitive playerbase has a mindset for them. Pure support in a game dominated by meters of all kind? Not gonna work.
Shamans, Druids and Demon Hunters already have race-specific appearances on some of their abilities. And even Hunters have some pets that are exclusive to particular races.
So I really don't see the harm in giving Tinkers their own racial aesthetics. And if the art team has been working on just that all this time, it'd certainly explain the dip in quality and quantity of Armor sets between Legion and BFA. (And the lack of Glyphs...)
Yeah, those are valid points, but...
it'd be a double-edged blade because there are many classes being ignored when it comes to visuals and stuff. If it didn't come with the once-mentioned and since-forgotten cosmetic class accessories, complains about neglecting old classes would rise again. And rightfully so.
Heck, most hunter abilites are still using W3 icons from 2002. I am still waiting for multi-shot to get an icon that actually looks like multi-shot, not a random glaive icon. Meh.
Snarky: Adjective - Any language that contains quips or comments containing sarcastic or satirical witticisms intended as blunt irony. Usually delivered in a manner that is somewhat abrupt and out of context and intended to stun and amuse.
Simply because in the eyes of those that want Necromancers, DKs don't represent what they have in mind. Simple as that.
There is not any other "better" reason to have necromancers over any other class. Blizz will expand the lore to fit whatever new class they want to introduce.
Mesmer class pls
I want a tank-archon form on my mage. Gimme a 4th spec NAOW!
None of us really changes over time. We only become more fully what we are.
I'd like a Tinker but know why it won't happen:
1. People ask for it too much, so no;
2. There is Engineering in game;
3. Gnomes in mecha-suits? Didn't people hate piloting mechanics ever since those were put in game? And what does it mean - basically suit-based abilities rather than actual weapons and armor for the character? A cyborg-suit hybrid that counts as one thing? How would you put armor or anything else that exists in a game for it?
So basically no. Half-baked concept of steam punk fans. Would be cool, but too hard, and too much for Blizz to balance.
