Please post a picture of a Draenei or Orc inside a mech in a normal interior space (like an inn or a shop).
Here's Mekkatorque in one;
You're clearly not reading what I'm writing. The reason you restrict it to smaller races is that the mechs don't have to be exceedingly large to give the illusion of a race piloting a large mech. In that case the "large mech" could be simply the size of a male Draenei or Tauren in plate armor.
Someone isn't reading the responses......
Tinker abilities? Just hop over to WC3 Tinker and HotS Tinker.
I know that Shaman aren't considered a pet class despite being able to summon a variety of totems and elementals.
Why is that? Could it be because none of those are pets?
You mean the engineering toy that you can only use on Broken Shore? Yeah, that's totally the same as having the ability to pilot a mech in actual content.
What if I want to actually do some CURRENT WoW content? Hell, what if I want to do Legion content outside of Broken shore? Reeves Combat Module doesn't work for any of that.
Uh, that's not just "to me", that's a FACT; It's all Shadow damage and shadow-based magic so it really doesn't matter.
Yeah, you're not getting most of those abilities because they already exist in other classes. You're also not getting HotS Black Arrow because a passive ability that stuns targets, and that would be grossly OP.
Again, a Hunter isn't a Tinker. Shooting arrows, slashing with a pole arm, getting healed with animal blood, and taming animals isn't a Tinker.
However, shooting shadow arrows, throwing shadow blades, shadow porting, taming undead creatures (Necromancy) and looking like an undead elf is a Dark Ranger.
Really? Vengeance is the name of the Demon Hunter tank spec.
BTW, you ever wonder why they completely changed that ability in HotS? Because it was OP as hell.
