Overview
- Multiple players reported receiving an opt-in Battle.net survey this week that listed proposed new classes and posted screenshots of its contents online.
- The leaked slate mixes reimagined retail classes such as Demon Hunter, Death Knight and Monk with new concepts including Tinker, Bard, San'layn, Witch, Illusionist, Necromancer and Rune/Metalborn.
- Outlets who reviewed the posted survey details could not independently verify the document or get confirmation from Blizzard that the proposals are official.
- The survey includes specific sample mechanics that change classic roles, for example the Tinker pilots a two‑life mech that can tank, deal damage, or support and the San'layn are vampiric plate melee knights.
- Players worry these additions could unbalance WoW: Forever's Classic-style gameplay and some have raised the prospect that Blizzard might sell future classes rather than only offering them through play-based unlocks.
