Theorycrafted: Spellslingers / Spellbreakers

    In a time long long ago, or if you are playing Classic World of Warcraft not so long ago... in fact right now. Mages and Priest both shared a talent called Wand Specialization. Now in retail, wands are gone as far as I know. The Spellslinger is a spec design for the Mage based on wand based builds from other games such as Path of Exile and Dungeon and Dragons. The idea turns the mage into a Magical auto attack class. Now this said it could work with Crossbows and maybe bows if wands are not wanted to be added back to the game. This would give them another purpose instead of just being like all loot which is hunter loot.

    The idea of the class for me falls into having a magical based hunter really. Embedding your shots with elemental or arcane magic, using blink to reposition quickly. This said it could very well be a proper Hunter Spec as well. 

    In that case I bring in the idea of the Spellbreaker as being another option for Mages. A tanking spec for mages. We already have lore about them in the game and while they do not have a ton of abilities from warcraft 3 it is easy to look at other units inside of World of Warcraft for inspiration. Looking at the Silvermoon Spellbreaker from Isle of Thunder shows them wearing what appears to be cloth armor and wielding a shield. Using a sword, but could also wield a glaive similar to Demon Hunters. 

    We also have some ideas from the World of Warcraft RPG which is non-canon, but still leads to some ideas of the spec. So many interesting ideas could come from this.

    Thank you for reading, tomorrow lets jump into bed with another spec idea that would love to beat people up with a shield. Until than, stay classy while letting me know what you think of my madness.
