No idea for new classes? I got two on the top of my head!

I have two ideas for a new class: I think a problem in Wow, unfortunately not reversible, is too many races can be too many classes. Either way, I have a few ideas for two classes.

I came up with these idea by the top of my head, so these are no where near developed ideas. They are ideas I've had for a while, but I have not looked into the specifics. I find it very romantic thinking about two new classes, with very different kits being added to the game: I have not spent a huge amount of time writing or taking the classes into consideration for example PVP balance and so on.

I have always loved the Hybrid classes from vanilla, so the two classes have some sense of hybrid playstyle to them.

Again I would like to state, these are just ideas! Not developed, ideas for inspiration as crazy as they may be. I came up with these as a desired gameplay I personally would enjoy playing, primarily being hybrid classes adapting to boss fights and situations more than a perfect rotation.

Class 1: The tinker

A class which is along the lines of Engineering back when it was "fun" in Burning Crusade.

A class that uses bombs, rockets and inventions for weapons and defenses. Each ability is very varied and has chances to either do bonus damage on single target, or bonus damage on AoE and so on.

The Tinker will not use weapons, but 2x offhand items and wearing Cloth or perhaps leather armor.

A bit like Ziggs from League of Legends as seen above

The specs:

Direct Bombing, you directly throw bombs, rockets etc. with mainly passive bonuses to your abilities, good for leveling and PVP. Direct bombing bombs will slow-down or stun the target when the timer runs out, so it has stuns which can be used instantly, or longer stuns that has a charge-up time.

Detonation:  You throw your abilities in different orders to create combo points which will trigger different type of damage output, You mix abilities between rockets and bombs and you detonate them after building up 5 of them, Depending on how you combine them you can get, A high dmg Dot (like Rip) on the boss, High damage attack (like Ferocious bite) or quicker attack speed (like Savage roar)

Shield specialist: (Hybrid) A tinker focusing on shields, works similar to a disc priest and is competitive to a disc priest, so a raid without priests could use a shield specialist instead, but still deal a decent amount of damage. The shield specialist will also be able to apply devices to bosses so it will take xx amount of more damage from allies, during a short period of time.

Overall certain abilities have chances of creating a shield or increase damage. So a class that is a bit based on mixed ability results, but has a lot of abilities which would suit Gnomes and Goblins for sure!

Class 2 The Crusader

Crusader is essentially a healing/tank class that uses melee attacks to heal. It does not use mana and cannot heal as a regular healer. Instead he is dependent to heal when using combo points and hitting melee attacks.

Self-sustainable, but low damage like the Diablo Crusader.

It is doing mediocre melee damage, but heals allies - just like a feral druid when using Nature's vigil. When using abilities, you will deal damage to the boss. The damage and healing is limited, but combined would be a good option for a larger raid, but not too viable in PVP, besides having a lot of control and CC abilities, making it decent for a team of 3 or 5.

A Crusader will use 1h and shields, or 2x 1h weapons depending on spec. The Crusader will be using mail or plate armor.

A Crusader will be a class that can take up an extra slot for a healer, or a dps. So instead of that extra druid healer in a raid, ending a fight on half mana. A crusader can contribute to both healing and dps. It is a class that is very good at adapting a raid between bosses, based on the amount of damage the raid would take. Whether that is direct or aoe heal.

Here are a few examples of how a melee-healer could work.

Ability 01: When damaging the boss, the boss gets a debuff that heals allies every 3 sec for xxx
Ability 02: When damaging the boss, you build up one combo point, and heal allies around you for xxx
Ability 03: Using xx combo points will damage the boss release an Aoe heal to nearby allies
Ability 04: Using xx combo points will damage the boss and release an Aoe shield around the boss, shielding tanks and melee absorbing xx amount of damage.

Specs: (unnamed)

Tank (Focused on damage reduction, dealing less damage, but more healing)
The crusader as tank works much in a sense of a Paladin, but deals lesser damage, but generates threat while also using heals. A Crusader tank would be very good in a group of melees and on melee bosses. A crusader tank would take a bit more damage than regular tanks, but as it heals the melee group, then raid healers can focus healing the Crusader more.

PVE (Combined melee and healing)The Crusader will always be in a melee group, for each hit the raid will heal in smaller amounts. For each ability combo points will be built up, and can be released as various abilities, depending on the stage of the boss fight and how much healing is required. For example if a group is at full health, you release a shield instead of a heal. So it is up to the player to analyze the situation of a fight before using the abilities.

PVP (Focused on control, short burst heals or short burst damage)
The crusader will have more powerful abilities, but on longer cooldown. The abilities will only affect a few targets instead of many. The Crusader PVP will unlock a taunt ability that forces an enemy player to force attack him for x amount of seconds, which forces an engagement between a player an a Crusader. Great for players who try to escape to heal, and the crusader can follow-up abilities that hit hard, and self-heal the crusader more. Such as abilities shared by Death Knights.
