    What you're referring to - They are Engineer NPC abilities, no? None of the NPCs you're talking about are actually called a Tinker. Neither is Gazlowe in Heroes of the Storm called a Tinker.

    Gameplay reflects the lore, and isn’t backing up your argument here.
    Metamorphosis Warlock reflects what part of Demon Hunter lore?

    Because they're tied to the Tinker hero. Just like DK abilities were tied to the Death Knight hero.

    None of the heroes in HotS are called by what they were called in WC3. Illidan isn't called a Demon Hunter. Jaina isn't called an Archmage, and Thrall isn't called a Farseer.

    Yes, like Gazlowe and Mekkatorque, who are Engineers. Again, what is the misunderstanding that you still have here? You know that Tinkers are types of Engineers.

    Yes, a type of engineer. Just like Paladins, Death Knights, Enhancement Shaman, and Monks are types of warriors.

    What separates them? Abilities.

    Actually, what separates them is lore. Gameplay is just an abstraction of what they've outlined in the lore, otherwise they could literally give Paladins Necromancy like we see in Shadowlands. The lore does not make any effort to consider them as 'Necromancers', even though that would be technical term for that type of archetype and gameplay.

    The lore says that they’re all types of warriors, so how does the lore alone separate them?

    We look at the distinctions between the titles and the core class.

    Paladin is a Holy Warrior. Is it a Warrior? No, because one has to be more specifically a 'Warrior of Light' archetype, or specifically a Paladin Order like the Knights of the Silver Hand.


    Are Tinkers a type of Engineer? Yes, because there is no special archetype of a Tinker beyond what is already used to describe an Engineer. Engineers are a broad archetype that encompasses what Tinkers are, and is otherwise treated as a racial term for Goblin, Gnome or Dwarf Engineers.

    And that's completely based on abilities. Without abilities to define the lore "Holy" could mean anything from a prot/arms/fury warrior who spends too much time in a church, to a prot/arms/fury warrior that simply uses holy-enchanted equipment. It's the abilities that fully separate the two classes because they have completely separate ability sets.

    Where lore is concerned, have we seen any distinctions between Tinker and Engineer? If they intend for a difference to be made, then they will create one when the time comes. But that time hasn't come, and all Tinkers are still synonymous with Engineers. They are one and the same, as far as the lore is concerned.
    Yes. We've seen Mekkatorque, Gazlowe, Blackfuse, and Gallywix utilize technology that is well above what we see in the profession. Additionally their uses of that technology are well outside of the purpose of a profession. The only logical conclusion to draw is that we're seeing a different type of engineering. This is reflected in the gameplay since all 4 of those NPCs are using class-style abilities, while the profession can't utilize class style abilities. Like Paladins and Warriors, it is the abilities that separate them completely.

    Trying to use gameplay to define a lore definition is as pointless as trying to say Warlocks are Demon Hunters because they had Metamorphosis, or Paladins are Necromancers because they can use Necromancy in Shadowlands.
    No, Warlocks were Warlocks with Metamorphosis. Demon Hunters had a number of traits beyond simply metamorphosis that made them what they were. That doesn't change the fact that Blizzard would never introduce Demon Hunters as a class without Metamorphosis.

    And yes, anyone utilizing Necromancy is a Necromancer by default. The use of necromancy is literally the definition of a necromancer.

    Lore already makes that distinction without any gameplay at all. As I said, you have to be of the Paladin Order, or be considered a Warrior of Light. Sunwalkers and Prelates aren't "Holy" and they are Paladins in the lore, so it just being 'Holy' isn't what it means to be a Paladin.

    Without lore to make the distinction, a Necrolord covenant Warrior would be no different from a Death Knight. Both are Warriors who can use Necromancy in gameplay definitions.

    And yes, anyone utilizing Necromancy is a Necromancer by default. The use of necromancy is literally the definition of a necromancer.
    By gameplay standards, exactly what you said.

    By lore standards, not quite. A Necromancer is more specifically a Spellcaster whose magics manipulate the power of death. That is quite different than a Necrolord Mage or Priest, which are classes who are granted Death related powers but with no lore to substantiate any change in their original classification or archetype.

    Tinker is an official hero though, and the WoW classes are based on the Warcraft heroes, and the Tinker’s abilities aren’t in the class lineup.



    You’re disregarding the HotS abilities because they disprove what you’re arguing here. It is a fact that the Tinker’s HotS abilities are in WoW and it is also a fact that HotS abilities are in multiple WoW classes.

    This is an assumption based on an omission. If we look at the WC3 hero and prominent Goblins and Gnomes, there’s a rather clear difference between the profession and the “hero” character’s version of engineering.
    Tinker WAS an official hero. It doesn't exist in WoW so therefore it is 100% conjecture on your part. I'll ask you a question that pretty much answers the one you asked me. Where does it say ANYWHERE in the lore that tinkers and engineers are completely separate? Because all the lore points to them being one in the same.

    I'm disregarding HotS abilities because they're utterly irrelevant. They are abilities that function completely different in both games because one is an MMO and the other is a fucking MOBA. You're literally pointing at HotS abilities and saying "SEE THEY HAVE THE SAME NAME THEREFORE THEY ARE THE SAME" and ignoring that they don't function the same at all. You are using bull shit conjecture based on a MOBA for your argument which is so incredibly asinine.

    Nonsense, it's the abilities that make those distinctions, not lore. We have a Death Knight class with completely different abilities than a Warrior, that's what makes them separate despite both being warriors.

    The point is this; engineer is an umbrella term just like warrior.

    What do you think The Tinker's Union, Tinker Town, Tinker's Court, High Tinker, and New Tinkertown are named for? Clearly in Gnome and Goblin culture there is a class of people known as Tinkers and they're highly regarded.

    WoW has Necromancers that are all spellcasters and only spellcasters. Can you name one that is not?

    And I see you mentioned Diablo. if you are talking about a Tinker class in Diablo, maybe you should take that discussion into the Diablo subforums instead of here.

    LOL WHAT?! Stop lying. The only non-caster necromancer style class Blizzard has made is the death knight. All other necromancers in Diablo and the WC games are spellcasters.

    Engineer is not an umbrella term and your logic is the definition of asinine. You are doing so many mental gymnastics that even when you are presented with irrefutable logic, you will still deny it and spew more nonsense. Just admit you're wrong for once. It won't kill you.

    Gazlowe's Greasemonkeys are NPCs so your logic of "they have the same abilities as HotS" is still invalid because a lot of NPCs have abilities that players never get access too. Also, you are just proving that "tinker" is just the goblin/gnome word for engineer. Much like how prelate, vindicator, and sunwalker are all cultural names for paladins.

    So Demon Hunters being able to use Metamorphosis, Mages being able to summon Water elementals, and Warlocks summoning demons aren't part of lore?


    WoW has Necromancers that are all spellcasters and only spellcasters. Can you name one that is not?
    Yeah, Arthas.

    And I see you mentioned Diablo. if you are talking about a Tinker class in Diablo, maybe you should take that discussion into the Diablo subforums instead of here.
    I'm talking about Blizzard's general design, which more recently has favored playable Necromancers to be melee based.

    Except those NPCs with HotS abilities have a logical class where those abilities can be transferred to. See Sylvanas' HotS abilities now going to the Hunter class. See Thrall's Crash Lightning and Sundering going to the Shaman class. See Illidan's The Hunt going to the Demon Hunter class. Where can Gazlowe's HotS abilities go? They're not going to engineering.

    Further, Tinker and Alchemist remain the only WC3 heroes whose abilities have never appeared in a WoW class.

    Also, you are just proving that "tinker" is just the goblin/gnome word for engineer. Much like how prelate, vindicator, and sunwalker are all cultural names for paladins.
    The difference being that Paladins, Vindicators, Sunwalkers, etc. all have the same abilities. Engineering doesn't contain any abilities from the Tinker hero.

    Ah yes. Allow me to completely disregard the HotS because they have Garrosh as a tank despite clearly being a Fury warrior and Tyrande as a healer when in WoW she has been all about damage. Stop fucking using HotS as an example, holy shit. And notice how I mentioned Diablo and WC but instead of admitting you were wrong, you mention a different(shitty) game.

    And you can say they have a logical class all the way but HotS abilities and how the NPCs are represented are not the same as they are in their normal games. And there's a reason pocket factory and robo-goblin haven't been ported over. Pocket factory is a fucking nightmare and I don't see it ever being in game. Robo-goblin literally turns you into a fucking robot so I don't see that happening either.

    And Engineering has rockets and you can build a mech mount. Also, lore dictates tinkers and engineers are the exact same thing.

    Unless it's part of the lore, not specifically, no. Blizzard can abstract the gameplay however they like, which is why we have Warlocks who don't summon demons at all portrayed in Warcraft 3, like the Stormreavers who actually use Thunder-based attacks and summon, or the Blackrock Warlocks who use Blood Lust and Firebolt, and otherwise do not summon any demons.

    A Warlock is defined by the lore, and the gameplay is simply an abstraction of that. It wasn't until WoW where they decided to make demon summoning a significant component of their lore, whereas it was not before. Gul'dan, for example, was not traditionally known for summoning demonic minions, and that is even reflected in his gameplay in Heroes of the Storm which has zero demon summoning in his gameplay kit.

    Yeah, Arthas.
    https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Arthas_Menethil

    I don't see Necromancer listed there at all, do you? He's not a necromancer, and never has been. He's always been a Death Knight, and the Lich King, and his powers of necromancy are drawn from his Runeblade and the Helm of Domination, not through spellcasting.

    Lorewise, he was never a Necromancer.

    I'm talking about Blizzard's general design, which more recently has favored playable Necromancers to be melee based.
    And gameplay is just an abstraction of lore. They could have Necromancers that fly in the game, and it doesn't mean it's part of a Necromancer's lore to be able to fly. The lore is what defines that, not gameplay.

    Just like Paladins are all warriors.
    Yes, the difference being Paladins are a Warrior of Light, whereas Tinkers are literally synonymous with Engineer with no specified differences between them. All of Gazlowe's abilities in Heroes of the Storm are abstracted as Engineer abilities in WoW.

    The point is that Garrosh's abilities can easily go into the Warrior class. Tyrande's abilities can easily go into the Priest and Hunter classes.

    Where could Gazlowe's abilities go? They're not going to engineering.

    Pocket Factory isn't a HotS ability.

    Robo Goblin doesn't turn you into a robot. It enhances the power of your claw pack. That said, even the WC3 version is simply piloting a mech. How is either an anathema to WoW's class structure?

    And Engineering has rockets and you can build a mech mount. Also, lore dictates tinkers and engineers are the exact same thing.
    If lore dictated that Tinkers and the profession were the same thing, they would have the same abilities. They don't. It's like saying Paladins and Warriors are the same because they're "warriors".

    The lazer, xplodium charge, and gravobomb are all things engineers can do. Furthermore, there is absolutely no fucking depth to the description of HotS abilities so saying they have equals in WoW is speculation AT BEST.

    Pocket Factory is from WC3, something you also use as "evidence". and Robo goblin DID turn you into a robot in WC3. "The Tinker becomes mechanical, rendering him immune to stun, most offensive spells, and several beneficial spells." You don't even read the shit you use in your arguments lmfao.

    You are continuing to fucking reach. The lore separates warriors and paladins pretty distinctly. But when it comes to lore, engineers and tinkers have no separation. They are the exact same thing.

    Oh and Arthas didn't raise all those undead. Ner'zhul and the artifacts Arthas was wearing did.

    What?

    Okay. So Pocket Factory would be a new mechanic in WoW. What's the problem?

    Robo Goblin didn't turn you into a robot, it transformed their mechanical backpack into a mech that they could pilot. Obviously they wouldn't be immune to stuns, offensive spells, and beneficial spells in WoW. Gazlowe doesn't have those immunities in BFA. Please stop being obtuse.

    You are continuing to fucking reach. The lore separates warriors and paladins pretty distinctly. But when it comes to lore, engineers and tinkers have no separation. They are the exact same thing.
    The lore separates Tinkers from the engineering profession as well.

    It's part of his lore, so why are we questioning this particular ability?

    I think a better question would be is if Eyebeams is considered canonical in lore, or Double Jump. Neither of these are actually canonical since it is never shown in the story. They are gameplay abstractions.

    They can be rendered canonical if we see them featured as a part of the story, but until they are, these abilities are not considered canonical. Is Metamorphosis shown in the story? Yes, it has been, multiple times. Therefore Metamorphosis is in fact canonical.

    He raised a skeletal dragon and an army of skeleton warriors in the WotLK cinematic. How is he not a necromancer?
    Because he didn't cast any spells to raise his army or the skeletal dragon, he used channeled the runic power of Frostmourne and tapped into the power of the Helm of Domination to command his vast army of undead. We have lore that explains all of this, and exactly why Frostmourne was so dangerous. It literally steals souls, is able to manipulate them, and is vampiric in essence.

    Death Knights aren't spellcasters. Necromancers are spellcasters. The lore has made this difference clear, which is why WoWpedia does not list Arthas as a Necromancer despite the feats you've laid out here.

    Contrary to your own claims, there is zero evidence to support Arthas or Death Knights (Post WC2) being Necromancers.


    But they're still all warriors.
    Of course they are. They're Knights of the Silver Hand, which is still an order of a type of Holy Warrior called a Paladin. And Paladins have abilities that other warriors do not have.

    Tinkers and Engineers are synonymous, and otherwise just a racial title for Gnome, Goblin or Dwarf Engineers.
