Preferred New Class

[Gyrotex]

I don't think we need a new class.

I also think we need more specs/variety of gameplay - by definition, aka "that's always good!"

So my bet is on whatever it is we are getting - will be in the form of spec(s), e.g. Necro for DK, Dark Ranger for Hunters (?), etc.

Feel free to use my Dragonsworn concept as a way the class COULD appear in WoW;

Nice!

All dragonflights use fire - fire is innate in all dragons in Warcraft lore. Red Dragons in WoW means life - which use fire. Green dragons means dream, who also use fire etc etc

Ysera is already connected to healing druids

Also the red dragons are pretty destructive and have been the most prominent in raids and dungeons outside of the black but they are already tied to tanking

None. There are already more specs in the game than Blizzard can provide unique gameplay for. Unless they get a major kick in the pants, creatively, there's no need for more classes.

Also, Tinker just invades the design space of Engineering. Necromancer invades the design spaces of Warlock and DK. Ranger invades the design space of Hunter. Instead of making a new class that steps on the toes of those things that already exist, maybe make those things not suck first. Just an idea.

Voted for Tinker, but my one caveat is that I'd want at least one spec to not use a mech. I'm interested in guns (dual wielding pistols would be awesome), bombs, gadgets, turrets and assorted gizmos, but have little desire to be a mech pilot.

Where's the option for none? There's currently 36 specs that need to be fixed before you go ahead and potentially add another 3

Engineering has no class design space. It's a profession.

[Somewhatconcerned]

Not sure but it should be ranged.

Nothing needs to be fixed, just because you don't like them doesn't mean they somehow needs fixing.

I'd like to see a Tinker DPs spec based on Mille Watt, Maleficent Manastorm, GG Engineering, and others. I think that would be interesting.

Well don't take my word for it, just ask some of the Shamans.

If only you were playing said game, you would known already that Red dragons ..... theme is healing .
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder, Aspect of the red dragonflight, is the guardian of all life in the world of Azeroth.

The general issue with the dragon aspects is that they aren't really one trick ponies, which is also why something like Nymhrod posted makes more sense, they'd be an ideal post-max level progression theme. If we were to make a class out of it out of desperation then it would make more sense to have each spec utilize several mechanics of the different flights.

+1 *laughs in Enhancement* (not gonna play shamans ever again)

Some guy asked "Method"-guy, "why you dont have shamans in raid?"(Lady Ashvane), answer was "We dont need useless class".

And i was like "HELL YEAH"

Blizzard already conceeded that classes need fixing and they went too far. So you are just flat out wrong.

Lorewise the only dragonflight still empowered is the Black Dragonflight. Could still see them doing something like this with Wrathion though.

Not sure they are still empowered. Besides being mostly corrupted and decimated, the power of the aspect usually rests with said aspect and afaik didn't change over to either Wrathion or Ebonhorn. For the blues it was previously transfered by some titan mechanic left behind on azeroth, but we have no confimation something similar existed for the blacks. Not to mention "something with earth" was always a rather weird theme..

Well, I'd certainly like to have both Squirrel Bomb and Rocket Chicken attacks, that's for sure.

And what do you expect them to do? Tell me? How do you define a well designed class? Because you know, thing like "opinions" exists. And there will a part of community that liked version A while part of community liked version B.

People always complained about classes.

The only thing that blizzard should, and will do is to make sure that class will have some common spells across the specs so that "class identity" will be achieved. Add some flavor spells back like alter time (no it will not be version from MoP).

But you know what will happen when they do that? Yeah, people will still complain.

Do you really think classes will be balanced? Hell no.
Do you really think somehow magically all players will agree that class design is good? Hell no.
Do you really think you will like next version of your favorite class rotation? Some will, some won't.

And good example is current demo, I fukken love current demo, for me it is THE best spec in the game including all the previous expansions. But there are some people who hate it and loved previous version.

Do you think adding flavor spell will make your rotation better? No
Do you think if they add warrior stances back everyone will be satisfied? Fuck no.

I've been thru complaints shitstorm for 4 expansions. And I expect it next expansion as well.

You know what people will say in 9.0 ? "I actually Miss BfA, this expansion is shit, my class feels shit! At least we had this this and that."

[breslin]

I think adding sub specializations for all classes would be more ideal.

Wonders why subs are low due to game design and class mechanics...Yea I know lets add more classes!!! are you for real or what?

[Loveliest]

Although I would love to see a 4th spec or a new class, I don't think we will have it with the current 3 roles paradigm wow uses.

We have a precedent in druid so it's not that farfetched.
