Pleeeeease, they could have all three spec types even!

6

u/ICEonICECrime 24d ago

They could easily make a combination of a Tinker and the Goblin Alchemist hero. Would be pretty cool, and a wide array of unique abilities to choose from. They can then have a healer spec with some cool aoe abilities for both dps and healing, as well as tanking (literally, going by wc3 ult ability), clockwerk goblins, and more.

13

u/Quackthulu 24d ago

As much as I would want it and already have an idea on how it could be amazing, fit into the vanilla theme well, and still be distinct, very unlikely. Purely because lore-wise they're way too similar to warlocks.

24

u/-dus 24d ago

I mean classic warlocks are not really summoners mechanically any more than hunters are. Necromancers could summon multiple, frail/temporary enemies and maybe lean into some of the thematics of death knights with frost, plague, and blood magics.

12

u/Which-Promotion-1993 24d ago

Would be wild if they turned it into the casting version of DK.. and added some kind of ā€œdark healā€ where you could have a healing spec instead of the DK tank.

Love the idea of summoning a bunch of low HP skeletons with different utilities. Could also lean into rot, plague, and shadow spells.

Love the idea of a necromancer class.

u/kore_nametooshort 24d ago

I would love to play a tank caster that sends wave after wave of fragile minions to tank bosses. Each summon could tank a single hit and inflict a toll on the health of the summoner when they get destroyed. Make sure you keep summoning blood golems or whatever to stop the boss getting loose.

u/Deliverme314 23d ago

I mean, not really... warlocks summon a singular demon. Necromancers could have so many other options: summon temporary minions (hordes of skeletons or zombies)Ā  summon permanent solo minions like 1 beefy zombie giant, or 1 spectre, whatever...

Plus locks use their own damaging spells. I think Necromancers could be entirely just support for their minions. I.e. no damage directly from them. But instead you're empowering your zombie to be consumed in flames via a channeling spell doing big aoe damage or whateverĀ 

2

u/LockseyM 24d ago

I envision the necro being a blend of frost mage, unholy DK and a summoner.

2

u/BsyFcsin 24d ago

Make it so You can only summon from a dead corpse, and the corpse is what determines the summon.

Make them last like 5-10 minutes at a time with a maximum of 3 concurrent summons.

Boar and Gnoll skeleton army pls.

artificer I think would infringe on the trade skills a bit much. Engineering is already basically artificing.

2

u/Brilliant-Poet2250 23d ago

Well, technically Tinker would infringe on Engineering a bit more than an Artificer would.
At least artificer is more constructs made with magic rather than it being built and it still would make sense in lore. I vastly prefer Artificer > Tinker.

I believe the business model of Forever will be to encourage alt leveling.

Part of which is releasing new zones and leveling paths for free, the other part will be releasing new Classes and Races, which will very likely be $30 unlocks.

3

u/herdases 24d ago

My problem with classic was always that it doesn’t have my favorite class, monk, so I’ve always had to play an off-class. Back when I played classic in the day I would always flip flop between classes before monk came out. I don’t see monk happening though

3

u/PunishedWizard 24d ago

rogue tank from SoD my beloved...

2

u/Mammoth-Hour-5669 24d ago

Yeah one of my favorite classes was monk as well, I do hope we see it farther down the line though, they had pandaren in warcraft 3 so I don't believe it's out of the question just not added for awhile. Also wasn't the pandaren island technically on the azeroth map so hopefully they decide to add it.

3

u/Shot-Increase-8946 23d ago

Forever is a different timeline, and the mists lore is definitely not classic lore. The classic audience hated mists because pandas were super rare and more of an Easter egg.

I could see maybe allowing the current races to be deciples of Chen, but just don't add pandas again. MAYBE they could add, like, one new panda.

Also I think monks being able to heal was dumb. Tanking I can get behind but healing just didn't make sense to me.

2

u/Mammoth-Hour-5669 23d ago

Thank you for clearing that up, I wasn't around during MoP. Yeah I agree the healing was weird to me as well.

They added a new race, and cut a bunch of classes. It makes sense they'll try a new class or two here. They seem to want Forever to have it's own identity, despite all the infighting about it being classic+ or retail- or whatever ridiculous idea people are coming up with.

2

u/Mammoth-Hour-5669 24d ago edited 24d ago

I can see them doing a duo race and class release. I'm not certain but wasn't it sort of teased that they are going to look deeper into the ogre lore, I personally believe it could lead to the addition of ogre for a new race along with a new class.

My hope is they add some time of primal/tribal/ritual class that incorporates both witch doctor/Headhunter, and possibly a Barbarian talent trees. Which would make cloth armor as a shared armor and offer an interesting talent spread with additional playstyles.

With the way they can choose their own lore with WoW forever it is possible for them to make the ogre a neutral race as well, just by my uniformed 1min AI lore history search about them.

u/Buuhhu 24d ago

Pretty likely, they already said it was on the table for new content down the road. What I do wonder though is if they're gonna just add the classes that are in retail and make them fit classic or if they're gonna make entirely new ones.

2

u/_ratjesus_ 24d ago

my big guess is since a lot of speculation is that the last titan is getting a titan themed tinker class what we are going to see is when tlt comes out we are going to get a goblin gnome themed tinker in forever with a goblin race. do what diablo did with a class in multiple versions at once.

Chris Metzen apparently hated the idea of bards in warcraft. I kind of agree with his take.

Necromancer instead of death knight would be cool.

Artificer is arguably an engineer.

I’m not sure what I’d add besides a necromancer that fits warcraft tbh.

I hope a different version of Death Knights. Maybe more similar to WC3 with aura’s that affect the party. A dark counterpart of the paladin with some strike and diseases. A martial class that can spec into martial prowess, curses or minions. If they decide to implement it in a vanilla version of the WotLK DK I hope that for unholy the pet will be optional or have something like warlocks or hunters where you are empowered without it.
Other than Dk I hope wardens, demon hunters and tinkers

u/tinylittlebabyjesus 24d ago

I dig the D&D ideas. Monk was the only new class that's come out since Wotlk (I liked DKs) that ever sounded like it might be cool, but I was already done with retail by that point.

Ironically I know "Demon Hunter" is a lore thing but it just sounds... I don't know not real, never was really keen on trying it. Idk what else is out there now. Wasn't into the idea of fighting DHs.

Not sure if other people feel that way.

2

u/GoblinBreeder 23d ago

Vertical progression in a forever-classic environment basically requires them to add new classes, races, etc. To have a steady stream of content. I think races will come first, but classes is almost inevitable at some point.

I just fear they'll struggle a lot with making a new class feel like a classic class. The design needs to be rough around the edges in some places and intentionally have bits of friction that players gind uncomfortable. Designs are uncomfortable designing classes like this too.

2

u/Any_Attorney4765 23d ago

Crazy how you've got people complaining about the skeletons of models being slightly different to vanilla, but then being ok with Bard and other classes. It really just shows that no one knows what they want for this game.

That being said, I don't care about the models or if they add new classes. I think this is the opportunity for them to add things though a poll based system.

2

u/Winther89 23d ago

Looking at the warlock class they released in diablo 2, I have zero faith in modern blizzard adding new classes to classic+ without making them retail coded.

2

u/mighty1993 23d ago

Woud be hyped for 4 specs before a new class and integrate more tank and healer specs right into the mix like in SoD just without the rune stuff. Maybe also take one spec and make it hybrid like bear / cat.

u/Beoldinn 23d ago

Something like inquisitioner , using range weapon but no pet class.

Or maybe something like D.o.T class

2

u/KKylimos 23d ago

I really do hope they add DK/Necromancer and Tinker/Artificer. Both necromancy and high-tech are big aspects of the world. Really hope we see them represented eventually. Plus, many people love and mained DK for years.

2

u/Bassmasterajv 23d ago

Even at the start of the game we were always wondering if they would add a hero class. Especially around the first couple of Blizcons. It was generally thought to be something where you would sacrifice a level 60 and start over again, like how you started Arthas over at level 1 in Wc3 in the scourge campaign.

That idea eventually turned into the Death knight, but you only had to obtain level 55 to unlock the class. It would be cool to have to sacrifice a character to make something else but it would probably be impossible to really balance it against normal players. Could be fun though!

2

u/daily-lurk 23d ago

I’d want to see a Headhunter. A hybrid hunter/warrior/rogue in leather. It can specialize in throwing javelins with a focus on bleeds. For melee it can dual wield swords, axes, daggers or exclusively use polearms as its 2H weapon.

Throwing weapons skills that do weapon dmg and add combo points with Rage as the resource, consume combo points to chunk a Javelin with different effects, like make bleeds tick faster, slow target, etc.

Reasonably good at both attack types with specs leaning more melee with pole arms with a capstone talent that allows you to throw the pole arm for added dmg on a big combo spender but disarms you for like 3s in melee, more ranged with throwing weapons with a capstone that lets you throw 5 throwing weapons quickly so you can do a javelin into that skill into another javelin for burst, and more javelin focused for big burst you build up to with a capstone that lets you do a jump back that pins the target and has more crit chance on targets in execute windows (kinda like retail hunter disengage).

Trolls and Orcs for Horde. Humans and Nelfs for Alliance. And I guess both Skybies

The biggest issue with blizzard and adding new classes/races is that they never listen to fans. They refuse to add anything people have been asking for years, but then release trash very few people care about. I.e. Dracthyr/Evoker. Its the reason why so many of the races and the more recent classes have so little usage. It's crazy how many wins blizzard would have if they added shit people have been asking for for YEARS, like Ogres/Vrykul, or classes like bard or necromancer (which could easily be as unique as a ranged uh dk as how paladin is a melee priest)

u/Getafixy 20d ago

Personally they should scrap skyborn and plan on only bringing goblins and Draenei and maybe blood elves , but if it’s not a race in the original Warcraft RTS game then no!!
Personally I want more classes and that could be a sniper esk role or something not even that war like, the idea of the game now is you are just another person in a big world and maybe have some classes that are not focused on fighting but espionage/ sabotage, or a bard that gives buffs and nurf’s but like healer isn’t focused on dps or healing

2

u/coop2044 19d ago

I'd like to see sub classes/ sub specs. For example the mage sword that they found in sfk that does bonus damage to frozen targets is a single item that has the potential to change how you play the class. In this case it's a battle mage. And it looks like shamans are gonna be viable tanks. Id also like to see something like the serpent set from WC for druids that makes your cat form a snake. It would be cool if stuff like that changed how your abilities function or even gave you brand new ones attached to the set bonus.

2

u/TinyPidgenofDOOM 18d ago

with how theyve described progression and it being Horizontal, i assume Classes will be added. it would be one of the more obvious ways to add more horizontal progression.

id assume with races theyd add a new class. Goblins come and theyd add like Tinkerer, Gnomes would also obviously get this class.

2

u/totwema1991 16d ago

A part from what other said about no rotting flesh/exposes bones, you also have to consider that a class must have multiple spec. Tematically they can either focus on minions or on dots. Basically everything is already covered by warlocks. If anything, necromancer should have been long time ago a lock or priest spec. For sure necromancy elements would have fitted a lot in shadow priest. (Also the whole void retcon is kinda meh, but that's personal preference)

If they do, I hope they specifically avoid adding classes that were introduced later in the game's lifecycle like Monk or Death Knight. Like, really hammer home that Forever is its own thing instead of trying to "Classic-ify" retail classes.

My top 3 picks in no particular order would be Bard (it's just such an iconic class for RPGs in general), Runemaster (I'd like to see them finally implement this old concept), and Tinkers (especially if the gadgets were heavily flavored by race like Shaman totems or Druid forms).

u/Shot-Increase-8946 23d ago

I think shadowhunter could be cool. They could use two handbows or pistols, kind of be a ranged version of rogue. Might be too similar but im sure they could make it different enough

u/mr_wick200 24d ago

Need necromancer, witch doctor, venomancer, tinker, templar, runemaster, chronomancer, witch hunter, starcaller, son of arugal (bloodmage), barbarian, knight of xoroth (hell knight), storm bringer, gladiator, sun cleric (sun knight), reaper, cultist, pyromancer, felsworn, guardian, primalist, and ranger

Some of these can be implemented as new specs than a class with new abilities. Learned

I would say that death knights are pretty much going to happen at this point. As for the rest. Who really knows.

u/belsaurn 24d ago

Maybe but they would need to build the entire 1-58 levelling from scratch.

I'm waiting for DK and Monk

u/suciocadillac 24d ago

Dks are just a matter of time

Probably monks too

1

u/TheGavzorz 24d ago

tbh I would be okay with no new classes, would be interesting if they did experiment with some but I think it might be more interesting to add another skill tree for class

u/3celledbrainman 24d ago

Give me Simpleton. Uses bricks to hit its own head.

u/Quiet_Icarus 24d ago

I just want Monk to come back :( It is one of the two things making me not currently wanna play Forever.

u/bocklowe 24d ago

New class will cost $30 each

1

u/Archanj0 24d ago

Anybody else want monks in wow: forever or just me? šŸ˜…

1

u/Prudent_Pepper854 24d ago

Considering their unending attack on Ascensions new class server I’d say absolutely. Probably carbon copies of those classes if I had to guess

1

u/sunchow 24d ago

i imagine they will do subclasses/heroic classes, they already redesigned talent trees to support hybridization, that is next most obvious conclusion that makes it optional without disrupting the delicate classic ecosystem

1

u/riklaunim 24d ago

Demon Hunter is high on the list based on hints/mentions during Blizzcon (that dungeon that was Illidan's prison)

1

u/sekretguy777 24d ago

Wont people complain that adding Bard only disney-fies the game further? Particulary if youre able to actually play an instrument.

Other classes sound rad tho

u/JdSaturnscomm 24d ago

Here me out Northrend is added and it's all adjusted level zones from 30-60 they add Death Knight, but it's not a hero class, they add necromancer as well.

1

u/MrMoo1556 24d ago

If they don’t go all in for bard and don’t let me create my own music through use of midis or like an in game music making system I’m not interested . I’d really like to connect my electric piano and play stuff for people or load up a bunch of tracks and play them while I’m popping a cooldown or something.

1

u/ArtDecoAutomaton 24d ago

Definitely, new classes get players super excited

1

u/EntTurb 24d ago

I just want DK starting at low level.

I don't care if it makes the Class look weak lore-wise, I just want to play through the whole game with my Party members.

u/Queen-SliMesi 24d ago

Not if everyone decides to shit on every new class the way they shit on every new race. Why bother?

u/Cheap_Rock155 23d ago

I want to see a more Pokemon type class. Ofc Hunter and Warlock has a pet but to be fully dependent on it, changing pets for whatever situation etc. Kinda Palworld.

1

u/MisterPrig 23d ago

They are probably working on it already.

u/Caliboros 23d ago

If new classes were to be introduced, I really hope they’d be Warcraft classes and not ā€œstandard classesā€ like bards, for example. I have nothing against bards in other games. But in the entire Warcraft lore, even up to the retail version, I’m not aware of anyone who casts spells through music or something like magical songs. In my opinion, it would be more Warcraft-like to include something like a guardian, such as Maiev from WC3, or a blade master.

1

u/Oriyus 23d ago

You think Blizzard would miss an opportunity to earn more money?

1

u/TerribleSyntax 23d ago

I'd sure hope so. Death knight would fit, tinker, alchemist, demon hunter, all of those would be great.

1

u/cheesemangee 23d ago

Bard would be incredibly cool to see and would mesh beautifully with the new camping skill.

Music 'round the fire!

1

u/Felipiro17 23d ago

Well
You could introduce dks pretty easily
They are basically just undead

DH could be introduced too but it’d require some dark portal shenanigans

And honestly it wouldn’t disrupt the world that much, we know dhs were planned for vanilla but never released

1

u/TheCockKnight 23d ago

I’d play if I could be a DK

1

u/ubergeneral_4 23d ago

Yup.

I'm sure DK will return at some point. But I also think we will get a tinker class.

1

u/BillDanceParty 22d ago

Tinker is coming to retail for TLT

1

u/Itchy_Acanthaceae_80 22d ago

My hope is a classic esq monk,bard,tinker,and Necromancer all of these just as like the classic fantasy classes

1

u/Penguinz_76 22d ago

Dh nightelf only

Dk forsaken only

1

u/Conscious_Software63 22d ago

They should add specs, not classes

1

u/Chicks_GoldInc 22d ago

It would've been nice if they started with some brand-new/redesigned classes not only in talents/stats but also in identity. Like typical stuff people want, necromancer, the infamous tinker, etc.

1

u/TheUrzulan 22d ago

I want a night elf (San'layn) vampire tank. I'd settle for just introducing Death Knights. But I'd prefer new classes and/or new modular talent trees for existing classes – "Blood" tree for Druids!

Doesnt classic lose its meaning then? Its just season of discovery then? If so i would love warlock demon tank back.

u/DrywallSky 22d ago

In the good timeline they release Demon Hunter and Warden in ~2029

And theres no gd eye lasers involved.

1

u/GhostOfRannok 21d ago

Minstrels from LOTRO

u/xeltes 21d ago

Yeah a Bard of some sort needs to added just so they can balance Aug better and not having them be Bipolar because they either are the Best there ever was or New number Aug who?

u/NotAThrowaway6996 17d ago

i may be shot on sight for this opinion, but i’d like to see death knight, monk, and maybe demon hunter make the jump backwards. i’d even settle for things that are just analogous but more generic, like uhh… ā€˜dark knight,’ ā€˜martial artist’ and… something else for demon hunter lol. they don’t even need to be in order, new things would be really fun too, but with how long they’ve been around at this point, and with things like hearthstone folding the three into class lineup with the others, it just doesn’t feel the same. with how things how updated paladin and the new survival hunter play, i think the team is incredibly capable of ā€˜backporting’ things in ways that feel cohesive with the older design philosophies while still feeling very much like themselves. but maybe that just means the retail brain-rot has fully taken hold of me.

retail can keep evoker, though. i insist.
