Kinda based on the demon hunter thread, wanted to provoke conversation on runemasters.
With the RPG being un-canon, I was wondering what lore we really have for this class. Minus some interviews where they talk how they folded aspects of runemasters into deathknights, and that which appears to be a runemaster in the council of iron we don't have much. Also with Rune of Power now being given to mages, I wonder if there is ever a chance for this class to be created now. If we were going as a forth spec idea, I could only see it working as a forth spec for deathknights or crane style monks. |

Between DKs and monks I can't imagine them ever being added. They had their shot in WotLK but they were passed over.

Doubt it as a spec
Also makes me sad at what could have been a class more lore-related to the Titans. Though Monk turned out to be pretty awesome with it's new style so happy for that. |

You know, stop me if this is beyond the purview of your thread.... but considering all the elements that have been reshaped from the RTS games... and considering all the parts of the novels that end up being "less canon"... and considering how much of the RPG won't be contradicted unless something comes in other lore to say that it never existed (as is the case with any source of lore, really)...
Perhaps it doesn't mean all that much to say that the RPG is uncanon, when set in comparison with everything else. The fact that Runemasters were considered being introduced but now likely won't be, based on game mechanics being redundant... that's not much of a lore argument for saying that there's no way they exist in Azeroth-world.

In the end, not everything can be represented in the MMO, considering the need for constant balancing, unique-enough mechanics, artwork for every damn tier and season.
It's much easier with an RTS, as every single unit will only have a few abilities and perhaps a specific purpose or a general role. At most you could probably cross your fingers and pray to the Great Nerfer in the Sky that fourth specs will be implemented.
