IF Blizz would Intro a new Race/Class...

What would you want?

I work with a few WoW players and just got this question from them. I know there has been some posts regarding this, however if Blizzard introduces a new class/race (besides the DK), what would you love to see?

Class:

Bard - a class capable of playing music via items or voice that decrease mobs abilities according to the choice of ability or increasing the groups stats/protections etc... A social character for the most part, with unique weapons. Kinda like Drums of Doom (or whatever its called in LW skill). Be a cool PvP character.

Race:

Goblin - as a neutrel starting character (As XLorep once stated) where you decide what faction or if any at all to join. Racial bonus: +10% rep exp. +5% in BS and Eng. Size = the Gnome.

I agree that it would be great to play Goblins. To complement that I would like to see the "Shredder Pilot" class, as ranged dps, melee dps or tank talent options. One defining ability of this class would be to "jury rig" short term repairs to armour and equipment allowing, say, an instance group to continue beyond the point where they would normally be forced to stop due to durability issues. Clearly any such repairs would have to be short-term buffs, otherwise the repair money-sink would vanish.

Well when it comes to a class I would like to see blizzard expand the hero classes, but im a fan of race/hero classes like the mountain king and th Chieftain.

Race wise.....i would also like to see goblins as a neutral playable character, but since the expansion is coming out i would like to see the tuskarr and the grizzlies. The Grizzlies however would conflict with certain quests in the game

Race wise i would like to see a naga for a playable character. or a snowman type character lol

Welcome to the board!

Naga would be cool :thumbsup: That's my second choice and sorta fits into the whole WoW lore.

Another easy class to introduce (arguable) is a Elementialist. Already have gear/items for it. However a class that actually takes physical form of his elemental choice.

i.e's. Earth spec = off tank type or dps type - using rage
fire/ice spec = dps type - using mana
lightning = melee dps - using energy
water/air = healing - using mana

Be cool to see new talents and shape shifted forms. :thumbsup:

so you basically want a cross between a shaman and a mage. boring! this is the main problem why I hate new classes being implemented. so much overlapping and suddenly a class is proved less worthy than every other class and becomes redundent and doesn't get used at all. why do we need more classes? what's wrong with what we already have?

there are some exeptions which would make the bard and DK classes worthwhile to be implemented. the DK uses a totally different system (i.e. runes) to do damage and the bard is basically like the paragons of GuildWars which is cool. If you do get anymore classes then please make them different to all the other classes and not just different combinations of 2 or more classes that we already have.

Goblin - as a neutrel starting character (As XLorep once stated) where you decide what faction or if any at all to join. Racial bonus: +10% rep exp. +5% in BS and Eng. Size = the Gnome.

it would be interesting to see if they could pull it off like in EQ2. just 1 problem: humans already get extra rep exp so you can't use that. also they would need an active racial ability not just passive ones.

I want to see Pandarens play a role! They're so awesome..... Brewmasters.



and of course the tuskarrs and naga.



and if they implemented a Bard, I would quit. I find Bards ridiculous and WoW is ridiculous enough without one.

[Wartro]

I want a Demon Templar

Ah, come on - Bards are the town criers of the medieval yrs! lol Maybe just on the RP servers than? :grin:

I'm surprized to see no one mentioning they would like to play an ogre? Too big perhaps? It would funny, and pretty much about it really.

Getting a new playable race, even just for laughs would be less of a problem than creating a really unique new class that still fits in and gives the game a new edge without destroying the balance. In a way we neither NEED another dps or tank or healer class. You would just add a class for the sake of novelty. As for the bard. Sure..but who wants to run around as a pure support class? Could you even level on your own?

Or as for killing mobs with your songs...I think there are enough Rick Astleys, James Blunts and Garth Brooks "Achey, breaky heart" idiots in RL....do I want that in my virtual world as well...? Yikes!

Haha! Killing mobs with Rick Astley. I have a funny feeling you would see "Evade" pop up quite a lot. Those poor mobs :grin:

Priceless Det ;)

ogres would be nice, but i'd also like to play an abomination.

a female abomination...what would that look like? like rosie o'donnell but with chunks missing? teehee:laugh:

[mmorpg man]

a demon race would be cool. wouldn't be too hard to do in terms of lore. they would just do the same as the forsaken did.

So you mean Rosie O'donnell only thin? Cause if you start taking out chunks you're only left with crazy lesbian ravings about bush (president and otherwise)

This one is taking an unexpected turn ^^

Demons, hum...I see Taurens leave the Horde here. At least with the Forsaken there is a bit of..maybe pity and naivity involved, but demons?

Then again..who knows....Three factions maybe? Could make PvP more complex as wel... Something like the capitalist traders...Consortium, goblins and other scum ;)

But a huge headache to involve in all the old content.

2 new races in TBC, a hero class in WotLK...I doubt we get anything here before 2010 and the next expansion...

Goblins have always and will always be a Neutral Class in any Warcraft game they are not sided with either the Horde or the Alliance, they only care about gold and how much they can get there hands on.

Class:

I'd love to see the Monk class, combat healers that can knock the stuffing out of a rogue.
