I'll start by saying it would be a bad idea and the 12 we have is plenty enough. No new classes or hero-classes would be fine with me. But what if they introduced a new one in a future expansion? What would it be? What other WoW-Lore characters can we look towards that would hint at a new class?
Again, I think it would be a bad idea to make anything new. But with that said, here are my 2 cents on 3 classes that I think could be feasible...
Dragonsworn-
armor: mail
roles: tank, mdps, heal
weapons: polearms, staff, 2handers
story: a champion of the blackdragonflight as wrathion strengthens his order. As we close the Maw and leave the Shadowlands, we rebuild what was once great in azeroth. Wrathion chooses you as one of his dragonflight champions and allows you to share their knowledge, power, and abilities.
Druid of Nightmare-
armor: mail (the new druid forms would be heavily armored)
roles: tank, mdps, rdps
weapons: *what reg.druids get*
story: as the emerald dream gets corrupted continuously, you learn to control the corruption/dark forces, much like demon hunters and death knights. as a new hero class, you serve as a dark druid, with different/corrupted forms, and get your power from the dead, much like a warlock.
Spellbreaker-
armor: cloth
roles: tank, mdps, rdps
weapons: swords and sheilds
story: after shadowlands, the kirin tor has created a hero class in which they restore the balance between life and death with anti-magic. cloth wearing and shield bearing, you defend the line as we close the maw and restore balance to azeroth.
I looked at a few current MMO titles and this is what I found to form your opinions.
Guild Wars calls their classes professions, but has same idea. Pretty sure we have all these in WoW already though.
Elder Scrolls has a few, but its obvious what their cournterparts would be in WoW-terms
Skyforge had a couple cool concepts
And heres a few Misc. Pics I found
Current thread warnings:
This thread is about *all* possible new classes for WoW, not just Tinkers. The thread needs a bit of breathing room from the "pro-" and "anti-" debate about Tinkers. Let's pivot on to some other possible classes and put this rolling debate to rest.
