[@peshomighty5051]

​​@@Noobie2k7 I have idea for monk.(Don't make a 12th classe) hm Give rogue a choice to have a second heropower instead of the normal spend 2 mana get a 1/2 weapon. Can't equip weapons. Costs 3 mana. Destroy one of your minions and shuffle the Left most card from your opponents hand back to their deck. Hopefully it fixes highlander warrior. Also maybe it helps coin rogue.

[@edwardking9359]

​@@peshomighty5051That is incredibly weak, actually. You have the limitations of not being able to use your hero power unless you have a minion on board, not being able to get extra damage from your hero, and the drawbacks of increased mana cost and destroying your own value, all to briefly inconvenience your opponent in extremely specific situations.

[@calebbarnhouse496]

​@@juliotorres3147it's really not, a lot of the time if people get into a spinoff videogame people get into the lore, hearthstone people not learning any lore is pretty odd, no one expects them to memorize everything, but you think they'd know bare minimums

For adding a class, they might put in the “Evoker” class from the recent wow expansion. They have a cool mechanic where they can “build up” their powers for bigger effect so they might put that as a card mechanic

[@ancient7716]

I think something like a Engineer class could work for hearthstone. Tinkmaster could be the hero and class could have mech flavor.

[@vhaelen326]

i think the most interesting mechanic for a monk would be "stagger" basically what it did/does in wow is that it makes it so you dont take the damage all at once, lets say 50% of the damage gets staggered that means if an attack does 100 damage, the monk will take 50 damage immediatly and the remaining 50 damage over the course of 10 seconds, i think something like that could be interesting for monk, the way i could see it work is that minions with stagger take half damage (rounded up) however the remaining damage is dealt to the minion at the end of the next turn making the minions rather sticky and with healing effects would mean that monk minions can trade up rather easily, it could also have synnergies like cards that remove active stagger's from your current minions, or a minion that when it takes stagger damage does the same amount of damage to a random enemy minion etc,, or spells that interact with stagger like "restore 4 health to a minion, if it has stagger restore it to full instead"

[@cereza7526]

I think monk in general is not that great of a thing to introduce Demonhunter/Death knight are obviously very popular classes (both gameplay and thematic wise) but monk? ... do people even really care a ton about monk? seems like it would not bring in alot of players

[@vhaelen326]

I recently had a dream they added an artificer/engineer class to Hearthstone. From what I recall it was all about buffing minions (like, singular minions, not wide boards like druid) that start off small and an emphasis on small impact but low cost effects like the spare parts. They also had a lot more locations than other classes and had some weird counter that went up when they played a spell or location, IDK what it did though.

[@LTDextel]

I like this dream

[@LSPXI]

I know this isn't about the video but since you're mentionning it, for the 10th years it baffled me that there hasn't been a revamp of the whole game in terms of UI and animations in matches, the main menu and even in game it feels so slow and outdated, you can have the most powerful pc and have the game fully crash because you missclicked on the resize icon, or even completely froze when you press "Play" or any other button for that matter, for me it's desperately needed!

[@carlsoll]

7:25 Pretty neat idea there 🤔

[@leadpaintchips9461]

Have some comments about the class discussion. Monk in Warcraft (please excuse me if I've gotten anything wrong, it's been a hot minute since I played) is along the lines of Eastern monks instead of Western monks, so less about isolation leading to contemplation and more about improving the self leading to connection to the universe. What that translates to in WoW is that they do lots of punching/kicking and they're effectively magical, and from what I remember monk could fill any role. I don't know how they're going to translate a class that is supposed to be about the individual improving that can do anything. As to a new class that isn't played in WoW, I dunno about that. On one hand, the attachment to WoW is pretty much the identity of the game. On the other though, if they use it to 'announce' the next class for WoW, it could drive up a _lot_ of attention.

[@haidynwendlandt2479]

WOW Monks are basically classic martial arts archetypes, based on monks from DnD. Monks are already in the game somewhat as Brewmasters and some as rogues that are also concerned with bouncing, so presumably that would be the Monk’s main gimmick

[@TooneeLunes]

Talking about bringing monk into the game, I always imagined it to be based on combo for their hero powers where they had to rotate between minion to spell to minion to spell kinda like that naga, each rotation adds 1 damage to their hero power (starting at 0 with no cards played). Interesting play style while also being unique enough to keep it apart from the other classes. Run a load of small spell and minions or have minions / spells that reduce their cost if the opposite is played before it etc.

[@Gsyekd]

This is going to be EPIC

[@mase598]

If I understood right, Rarran said that new classes (DH and DK) didn't draw much attention and he thinks it's because they exist in WoW already. I personally hard disagree. The issue imo is that we're talking about a card game. I played Hearthstone on release for a bit just to kill time, play against some friends, etc. More recently I'd only do quests then go play Battlegrounds. I have NOT played Demon Hunter yet myself and I like aggro, and I never even bothered unlocking Death Knight prior to a recent update where it seems like it auto unlocked. I feel like having to actually invest in building a deck for a specific class with some unique mechanics is just not enticing for people that're new. I don't have an insane amount of cards, dust, or enough interest to grind out resources to make a deck OR to spend the money. But if I do that with say Deaht Knight which has a unique mechanic, I imagine a lot of cards you want in their deck is not going to transfer to another deck, on top of the issue that they're mechanic might not end up fun. To try and summarize: New decks can be expensive, new classes have had unique mechanics, unique mechanics means less diverse methods to play. As a much newer player I've had no interest in coming in to try a new class knowing they're gonna likely require more investment and be less diverse until the mechanic is grown more. Demon Hunter for example is very aggro, if I want to play control I imagine it's a clown move to to try it with Demon Hunter, while if I said made a Warrior deck I could play most archetypes and a lot of cards will be transferable because things like execute, whirlwind, shield slam, etc, are just good. Half my deck can go into any archetype at times.

Well, there are a few cards that reference a rarity in their effect, so it is good to actually double check that your cards are all the right rarity when doing this kinda thing. Ngl it's crazy that you could do pure spell mage in epic only.

[@Xgya2000]

I think the Bllizzard overlap in Hearthstone COULD bring in a class that's not from the Warcraft universe. It'd just be REALLY hard to find a fantasy niche that's not already taken - your example of Necromancer steps on Death Knight's toes a wee bit too much. I'd suggest Witch Doctor, but there's good chances it'd tread on Shaman's territory a lot.

[@zacdredge3859]

5:03 The brief glimpse into the void of Rarran's mind where you realise he thinks Deathknight's and Demon Hunter's are real but monks, which do exist 'are not real'... Actually seems like Monk as a class would have more identity conflict with Rogue than Priest. Combo style gameplay seems to suit Monks the most.

[@sora8711]

For people that don't know, Monk is capable of all 3 roles in WoW. It can tank it can dps and it can heal. So calling it "just a priest" is hilariously ignorant. The interesting thing about Monk tank is that it mitigates by "stalling" damage, which I honestly could see being a mechanic exclusive to Monk.

My leading theory has always been that Monk would play for tempo and have Focus (Finale) as a class identity [But now it seems less likely.

[@jblackrazz]

I don't know that much about WoW but I believe the only two classes not in hearthstone are the Monk and the Evoker class. I think it could be interesting to add a non-wow class but it might be hard to make it truly unique.

[@Galavantman]

Printing real life card would be epic just for collections. Having a few framed legendary cards would look amazing on my wall. I would 100% get Reno. I think that card made hearthstone the most popular.

[@Asin24]

Monk would fit far closer with Rogue then Priest by a long shot. Combo cards in particular are closest to the flavor of it. Perhaps a hero power that used enhances the effect of cards it's used with or based on the card that is used it does different things. While it does have healing it's more like a regen healer with it's tank side being about staggering damage mostly delaying it and mitigating that delayed damage so it can be healed or partially nullified later. It could be a rather interesting class honestly to use the mechanics from the speccs though I can see what a balancing hell that could be.

[@javiercuenca00]

I think it would be interesting to create a class for Hearthstone that exists within the warcraft universe, but not in a playable way. For example, in WoW there are some 'Spellbreakers' (which are sort of mage killers) or 'Dark Apothecary' (which are sort of alchemists that use plague), but these classes only exist on NPCs. Wouldn't that be a good way to bridge for people who are interested in warcraft but wouldn't really have a solid idea to expect in terms of playstyle for this fantasy of characters? Would love to hear your thoughts on this :)

[@StrikerTheChosenOne]

[@Spippie_Sugarfuse]

For necromancer it sucks because it exists in warcraft (Kel'thuzad is a prime example of one) but is not playable and will probably never be due to warlock and deathknight already being playable choices. and for engineer I hope they one day add a tinker class that has that premise

[@itsdachief]

Okay, that was epics

[@Walkingbread7]

Necromancer would pretty much just be dk but slightly more warlock because in the warcraft universe there are necromancers and like death knights they raise the dead. However like warlocks they summin a lotta stuff and wear cloth

[@vhaelen326]

also i dont think they should add a class that isnt in warcraft but im fine with them adding a class that isnt a playable class in WoW, the issue is most of those possiblities are sort of hybrid classes, like witchdoctor is in essence a shaman priest hybrid, shadowhunter is a rogue priest hybrid etc

[@samanthaszilagyi-jones5496]

you and eddy are a goated duo as always. You guys were talking about a new class and such, and were talking about monk or maybe even a new class and i think monk would be the best. I think the reason why people werent too hyped about dk, or at least me personally, was the class identity and gameplay is kinda sleeper tbh and the way the class plays in wow is fun but very basic, you know whats gonna happen and it isnt exciting in hs. Monk on the other hand has a lot more room to do cool shit, monk in wow is my personal favorite class to play and the themes could be super cool. for example, the tank spec in wow, brewmaster, would be super cool. its main tanking mechanic isnt gaining armor or healing like warrior or dk, its about being so drunk you feel the pain later so it spread the damage out. could be interesting, like it deals the damage to you over 2 turns. thematically there is so much room to build into for monk and its already there, it makes way more sense to do that than to create soemthing new out of thin air. you already have a giant database of thematic ideas and cool mechanics, and i think monk has maybe some of the coolest things you can do in all of warcraft. keep up the good work :)

[@dainge44]

[@TheNaturalnuke]

Monk is known for delaying damage, combo, and low cost but spammable healing, I don’t know how that would transfer to hearthstone. Hero power for 2 gives a card combo? Heal 1 + 1 armor? Heal all owned minions by 1?
