Tinker, Bard, Illusionist - Blizzard seemingly surveying World of Warcraft: Forever players about never-before-seen classes to add to the game
Key Points:
- A select group of World of Warcraft: Forever players reportedly received a survey asking about interest in various potential new classes for the upcoming MMO, with details leaking online despite Blizzard's request for confidentiality.
- The surveyed classes include a mix of new concepts and reimagined versions of existing WoW classes, such as Bard, Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Illusionist, Monk, Necromancer, Metalborn/Runemaster/Runeknight, San'layn, Tinker, Warden, and Witch.
- Notable changes to familiar classes include a slower, less mobile Demon Hunter distinct from the Legion version, belonging to a different faction in Azeroth rather than Illidan's group.
- Among the new class ideas, the Tinker stands out as a mech-suit pilot with versatile roles (tank, damage, support) and a unique dual-life mechanic involving both the mech and pilot, inspired by Warcraft RTS lore.
- Another intriguing new class is the San'layn, vampiric knights clad in full plate armor who specialize in melee combat and drain vitality from enemies, adding a fresh dark fantasy element to the game.
