This is different from every other class how? And I'd wager the proportion is way higher than "every other" too.

Keep up that EQ-era wishful thinking though

If only you'd have read the last sentence in my post. Also, there's a huge difference between raid viable dps and 'soloability'. All healing and tank specs have enough dps tools to level just fine.

Prior to Wrath's release I was super-excited about the idea of a new Hero Class with each expansion. I was disappointed when they started backing away from that original statement but then started to realize that as fun as it can be to experience the new storyline and role that a new class provides, how many different fucking ways can you tank, heal, or kill shit?

I would love for there to be a playable necromancer or monk-type class, and Demon Hunters and Blademasters are both pretty damn cool, but I can't think of any way to implement any of those that wouldn't seem horribly redundant compared to an existing class.

I may be alone but I'd much rather see more race/class combinations, which you could easily justify as being a result of cooperation and exchange of info among the various races of each faction. Blood Elf Warriors? Human Hunters? Troll Warlocks? Something else other than Night Elves and cows for Druids?

Hell, I'd also be glad for new races in general. I'd give my left nut for playable Worgen.

So would a worgen druid shapeshift into a human for dps?

No, it would shift into a cat and chase itself.

I was unconvinced more than the original classes were a good idea when people did the "we need hero classes" circle-jerks years ago, and I still not convinced we do.

We already have too many DPS classes, especially considering every class is a goddamned DPS class now. 40% of the classes can now tank and 40% can heal, unfortunatly 2 of those classes do both. So any new class has to be a healer or a tank (or both).

The thing is, there is already huge problems balancing the tanks and healers we have, adding another would just be a mess. Especially with the suggestion of a non-mana-using healer. Good lord what a train wreck that would be.

Let them work out the classes we have better.

And yes, I am pretty sure I posted this same thing before WotLK, and I feel that Death Knights only proved me right.

[Zaphid]

Yeah, the only problem is, they have to make some selling points for the next expansion, and new class sounds pretty well to every mouthbreather. If they come up with naval battles and fights between guilds for islands and scale the amount of islands proportionally to player count, fuck all races and classes, I'm sold.

[Zhaun's_Shade]

I'd rather see them add a new race to each faction, that can be Paladins (Horde race) and Shaman (Alliance race), personally.

Or... in patch 3.4 or some shit, let add a little temple for Forsaken paladins and shrine for Night Elf shaman.

Or both.

[Flesseck]

Well, if the "Plane Set" is accurate, we should definitely be seeing Pandaren as a new race for Alliance Shaman.

The pandaren are an independent race and any encountered outside the Barrens are wanderers and travelers, belonging to no affiliation. Their outlook meshes well with the Alliance, and most pandaren in Kalimdor are found in the company of Alliance races. Pandaren are eccentric, however, and some feel more at home around the Horde.

Not that I disagree since I still believe Blizzard will introduce them (along with Worgen) as an independent faction but what type of reasons do you see the Pandaren as Horde and not Alliance?

[Kuro]

Wasn't there some shit about not being able to put in Pandarens due to china going berserk if you let panda-looking-things get killed?

[Mist]

Yeah but China already doesn't have WOTLK still, so maybe they've just given up on bringing expansions there.

I understood the Chinese were cool with panda slaying, but what pissed them off was pandas wearing Japanese clothing.

Boot armor would just be tail-tip armor. Add in a custom item naming filter that changes the word boot to tail-tip for anyone that plays a Naga.
