I was always hoping for a woodworker profession. I would have liked going through forests to find nice pieces of wood and make bows and spears out of them.

But for a class... hm. How about a melee magic class? Plate armor so he can tank. Uses staffs, rods etc. to inflict magic damage (fire, frost, shadow, arcane). Strong melee attack, weak ranged.
Or is that what they're kind of trying with the Death Knight?

Prof, I liked your first idea for a class better (the engineer).
