Next World of Warcraft hero classes: Necromancer?

Blizzcon character class panel on classes that didn't quite make the cut of the initial WoW release. Possible hero classes of the 2nd World of Warcraft expansion: Wrath of the Lich King?

@Dinos86Senior yes its true. blizzard hasn't followed the story either. night elf aren't supposed to have mages ( well to be real specific arcane mages) and horde aren't supposed to have paladins, except for "maybe" blood elves. so i dont see how this is any different if they haven't been following the story already.

As far as what class we need next it should be balanced from the last new class. Death Knight is a melee only class so the next one should either be a ranged only or even a ranged / melee hybrid class. The balance is

Range: M, H, Pr, Wl, Dr, S

Melee: Dk, Pl, Wr, R, Dr, S

That is currently even on both sides so to keep balance in type we need another hybrid class. Blizzard being Blizzard though they will do what ever works for their story line on the next exp so i guess monk it is. Super Druid?

@Dinos86Senior ya i used to play SWG and i had a maxed Entertainer, they tried to make it have some combat ability but it never really did. But in SWG that's ok because it was a different kind of structure and you had player controlled towns and such. A game like wow would need a bard more like the one in EQ and EQ2 if they were to try to do it. I still say bard will never happen for wow.

@nithia

You know there's that older MMO SW based, Star Wars Galaxies... they had the "Enterteiner" class, basically a bard who could dance or play any instrument (with group dances and group playing, too) to buff people, the longer you would "enjoy" the show, longer was the buff they gave you (hours). He doesnt earn any exp from killing stuff, just while "entertaining". And obviously he had like support dps/support healing duties during any combat.

Imho this would be AWESOME in a game like WoW.

@arodis12

Exactly.

The gameplay of a WoW Warlock is the usual gameplay of a generic Necromancer in other games. However, Lore tells it all about the choice they made to use a Warlock instead of a Necro.

If you raise death, you want death.

If you call a demon, he might help you doing anything until he's your slave.

That's the great difference between a Warlock and a Necro, a Warlock summons foul demons knowing that he will be able to re-banish them anytime, a Necro summons death to bring death.

WE WANT MONK (pandaren monk... i love you).

WE WANT BARD.

Necromancer= You just cant. When you play the Scourge in WC3, you play your future Enemy in WoW (a GREAT enemy till WtLK).

It isnt like the Death Knight thing, totally different. A Death Knight never choose to be resurrected by the Scourge, a Necromancer is somebody WILLING to worship the Scourge, you couldnt play a class like that being part of either Horde or Alliance.

WE WANT SHADOW HUNTA (not that faggy blind nelf guy, the trolls).

It didnt make it... YET!
