New Classes tied to WC3 Reforged?

[ro9ue]

Remember when they speculated about WoD being tied with the Warcraft movie? Do you think it's possible WC3 Reforged is influencing them to revisit old WC3 units for potential new classes, class skins and/or specs?

Shadow Hunter
Dark Ranger
Blademaster
Tinker
etc

I mean I've been personally waiting to play a proper Shadow Hunter or Dark Ranger since like 2004.

[Jonnusthegreat]

Yeah all those classes will probably be released with 9.0.

[Villager720]

I don't think they ever forgot those "units" as they've all been present in WoW since at least WotLk.

[Logwyn]

Yeah all those classes will probably be released with 9.0.

Even the Etc class?

[Soon-TM]

The most likely to come to WoW imo are: Tinker, Dark Ranger and Necromancer. As for those wanting the likes of Blademaster or Shadow Hunter, I think they are SoL.

[Gamespud]

Don't forget Warden, and Blood Mage, and Chieftain, and Crypt Lord, and Lich, and Dread Lord, and Keeper of the Grove, and Naga Sea Witch, and Alchemist, and Fire Lord, and Pit Lord... phew it's gonna be a busy expansion.

[Jonnusthegreat]

Even the Etc class?

Stadiums have been roaring for ETC since his inception.

[Weallscream]

Some good classes they might use ,include and get to be:


Fakehopper
Tinkerfanboi
Forumvoverposter
OPmancer

Someone's been DMing my Source it seems.

Imo class skins are the future

[Kyphael]

Would be a clever way to cross promote both games and give players something they've been asking for. Win/win!

A Shadow Hunter is just a Shaman, though. Healing Wave is a Shaman spell, Hex is a Shaman spell, and the Serpent Ward is a toy and previously a glyph for Searing Totem. Big Bad Voodoo is the only thing not accounted for.

I'd love Blade Master.

No it's not. They use curses and shadow magic as well. A lot of the NPCs either wield daggers, a 2h glaive polearm, or a bow.
Also we've seen Shadow Hunters use stealth mechanics with Rokhan.

It's a Rogue-Shaman-Warlock.

World of Warcraft: Highlords of Lordaeron, here we come! Another time-travel expansion!

World of Warcraft: Highlords of Lordaeron, here we come! Another time-travel expansion!

I can't wait to spend a whole expansion fighting against and then the last patch helping the Iron Alliance before hearing Highlord Garithos yell out "Lordaeron is free!"

[msdos]

Yeah what you do is just scrap Enhance because it's a straight up joke and replace it with Shadow Hunter. Problem solved.

Then after the scrap Marksman because tbh no one cares about that spec, like at all. Replace that with Dark Ranger. Problem solved.

Scrap Unholy with one condition: Frost has to be weapon agnostic, meaning 2h or dual wield optional or just put Frost back as 2 h, literally no DK will be mad at that. Replace with Necromancer. Problem solved.

And then you just scrap Arms and make it Blademaster and let them do dumb stuff like boomerang their weapon around and make duplicates of themselves. Rogues do magic related crap, so why not. "Warriors oath and honor" who cares.

I don't like Taliesin, but his video about Class Skins was a good idea i guess.

Combine that with better talent trees and class design where you could specc in a way that fits your imagination of a class better and you can literally bring in all these classes without having to create complete new classes.

I'm skeptical when it comes to more classes and specs, as Blizzard currently isn't even able or willing to come with fun class designs for the already existing classes. So i definitely would prefer something like this Class Skin idea.

Oh god, I can already see it happening. Replace the Burning Legion with Void Lords in the final raid tier and you got a perfect segue into World of Warcraft: Void.

Even the Etc class?

I wanna play as an ETC PP!
