Blizzard survey prompt
Blizzard appears to be considering adding new classes to World of Warcraft: Forever based on player survey claims.
“Warden, Necromancer, and what sounds a lot like a vampire are also on the list”
Survey class list
Demon Hunter, Warden, Death Knight, Necromancer, Witch, Tinker, Metalborn/Runesmith, Bard, Illusionist, and Monk are listed in the survey.
“Demon Hunter, San’layn, Plate armor, these guys are basically vampires?”
Class descriptions
Warden is a tank with melee DPS and plate armor, Necromancer is a cloth armor mage with shadow- and death-themed abilities.
“Necromancer, Cloth armor, a mage with shadow- and death-themed abilities (sounds rather similar to Warlocks)”
Existing classes
Demon Hunter, Death Knight, and Monk are already classes in retail World of Warcraft but may differ in Forever.
“Demon Hunter, Death Knight, and Monk are all already classes in retail World of Warcraft”
New classes
Witch, Tinker, Metalborn/Runesmith, Bard, and Illusionist are new to WoW: Forever.
“Witch, Ranged DPS (caster) and support class, cloth armor”
Support classes
Several classes are listed as 'support' which is not a role in WoW Classic or Forever.
“Witch, Ranged DPS (caster) and support class, cloth armor”
Blizzard's response
Blizzard may add new classes but the survey's accuracy and seriousness are uncertain.
“Assuming it’s real, we don’t know how serious Blizzard is about adding new classes at all”
Player hopes
Players hope for new classes like Tinker and San’layn rather than reconfigured existing ones.
“Give me Bard, Blizzard! Let me sing my allies to victory!”
What it means
Blizzard may add new classes to World of Warcraft: Forever based on player survey responses.
