Eyonix made an interesting post about the coming stat changes in Cataclysm. Personally I am not sure if I like all these changes, since Shaman seems to ge go away even further fromt eh fun class it used to be. Basically they will remove all AP/Spellpower/Intelligence from our gear and design some way to emulate this. I fear we might end up like Retribution Paladins with no Mana Pool and give us some weird mana regeneration mechanic like example improved Stormstrike. This would limit our flexibility, which is what I like most on the shaman, even more. But well it is too early to judge about things.

Not that I am particularly eloquent, but I have no words to express my disappointment with the newly announced race and class combinations for the coming expansion Cataclysm for World of Warcraft.

I was so looking forward to play Worgen Shaman, could already see that menacing Worgen, wielding fierce weapons in his claws, blood smeared over his mail armor, spreading slobber all around while baring his fangs ready to tear the enemy’s throat out – ROOOOAAARR!!!!11!!!.

It would fit so perfect … but now we get lol Priestlol Worgen and Roguelol Worgen … I personally find that they do not fit the class at all. And we have enough races that can do those already. ZzzzzzZ. Now I can dust in the Horde Orc Shammy I prepared to Faction Change into Worgen once it would become available – Awwwww!

The same goes for Goblins, I saw them already in plate gear, casting holy spells, casting hammer of justice. Instead they become the 4th shaman race for the Horde. With all their attraction towards technical devices and gadgets I just don’t buy them as shamans.

Here is the list
