Unoffical classes

[Chaosy]

Just thought we could bring up a discussion about unofficial classes. I will start with mentioning a few of those unofficial classes and you can just post your opinion about them, you know the drill. Feel free to add your own little list of classes.

To clarify, I don't mean create a random class out of your mind randomly. I mean classes that exist in game but isn't playable.

So here's a few from me:
Elementalist, Hydromancer, necromancer, runemaster

personally, I would love to see runemaster as a playable class in WoW, it's really unique compared to other classes. (other than dk maybe) I think it would look like a melee mage with a heavier weapon. This would look great on taurens

 

[gorillabull]

elementalist = elemental shaman, hydromancer = frost mage, runemaster = death knight.
kel thuzad was a necromancer, look at where he is now.

also we got a melle class last expansion (monk) well and the one before before that (dk)>.>

i doubt bliz will introduce a new class in wod, simply because of the pattern they have followed: 2 new races in bc, new class in wotlk, etc..

we will probably get something like ogres for horde and god knows what for alliance

anyway on topic.. id like to see a blademaster (you know so that everything is even more horde oriented)

 

[JCarrill0]

Demons hunters...

 

[Chaosy]

If you generalize like that most classes are the same. Warlock and mage would be the same, since fel magic is arcane magic. Paladin and priest are just the holy dudes. Shamans and druids are the same too, they only care about nature the element of earth and water etc you know.

 

[JCarrill0]

but but but... demons hunters....
In retail, Priests can mana burn, no one can use immolate, Dodge is a stat, warlocks get the transformation, yet rogues and warrior (and now death knights) can equip warglaives of azzinoth.

 

[Heinvers]

Hydromancer and Necromancer.

• Warcraft RPG Class: Runemaster
• Warcraft RPG Class: Necromaster
• Hydromaster
• Elementalist

elementalist = elemental shaman, hydromancer = frost mage, runemaster = death knight.
kel thuzad was a necromancer, look at where he is now.

You might read up, as they are not quite what you said above.
Besides, Look at Dark Master Gandling, he is a pretty cool Necro.

also we got a melle class last expansion (monk) well and the one before before that (dk)>.>

Monks aren't just Melee, they can heal as well.

i doubt bliz will introduce a new class in wod, simply because of the pattern they have followed: 2 new races in bc, new class in wotlk, etc..

I think you'd be surprised.

You mean something like this?
How about a Tuskarr?

Tuskarr

anyway on topic.. id like to see a blademaster (you know so that everything is even more horde oriented)

If you go by your own logic posted above, isn't Warrior a blademaster considering they can use 2 weapons and have the Bladestorm ability?

If we are to consider a hydromancer, We might as well include:

• Pyromaster
• Geomancer

My Personal Choices are:

• Warcraft RPG Class: Demon Hunter
• Warcraft RPG Class: Warden
• Warcraft RPG Class: Shadow Hunter

I know these are also listed from Warcraft 3 heroes, but hey, I loved Warcraft 3.
(Though these are not my fav heroes, we are just talking about classes here)

A Rogue that can actually commit Theft, smuggling, bribery and whatelse illegality not, could have been actually interesting.
Id like to see an steampunky Inventor/Engineer/Tinker type of class. That should be able to bring a new playstyle and abilities to the table.

you mean Warcraft RPG Class: Tinker?

 

[Eagle XI]

Yes, basically. Id be ok if they'd scrap engineering for it, since like 90% of the recipes in the profession is obsolete in every way possible. Maybe if converted into a class mechanic and skills those can see the daylight and get used.
What i remember is during WotlK the motorcycle and flyers have been a nice income source, however.

 

[taavidude]

Demon Hunter, Necromancer, Warlord, Dark Shaman, Wind Walker, Scout, Archmage, Barbarian, Berserker, Beastmaster, Blademaster, Farseer, Necrolyte, Assassin and many more.

Now that listing classes is complete I hope people will elaborate on their ideas, instead of just listing them.

(I hate it when a supposed discussion is essentially just listing publicly available information)

and your class was....?

 

[Chen]

Maybe Illidan will return and Demon Hunter will be a hero class?

 

[Xonok]

and your class was....?

Somekind of lich-necromancer thing. I don't limit myself to warcraft classes.

no offense but that is the topic here.... warcraft classes, just unofficial ones.

Speaking of which necros and lich as apart of warcraft.

 

[Xonok]

The thing with discussing warcraft classes is that it can't really be done on a non-general level in the case of unplayable ones.
So what I would instead talk about is the ideas behind them.

I am myself a very dark person in some sense, for which reason I like the undead. However, it's not for their appearance, but rather for their feelings. For instance, I wrote this (italics are not by me. Estonian sentences are comments)
Liches and necromancers for me are not necessarily evil and powerhungry like they have been portrayed in warcraft. Ever wondered why pretty much all warcraft undead are evil? There is usually no good justification. The scourge is evil because ner'zhul is. Ner'zhul is evil because he was manipulated by the legion. The legion is evil because a titan went crazy. The identity of entire factions is based on what single people did, with little room for different interpretations.
tl;dr - Warcraft games are bad at conveying lore. The books are better.

So why did I choose lich and necromancer(necrolord, to be specific)? Because for me they are symbols of true undead identity, unlike the evil-evil-evil of warcraft games.
What do I like about this identity? Immortality. Power at the cost of solitude. Strong magic that scales well by concept(effects not limited by time)

Fair enough, good points too.
