No Blood Elf Shamans?

in World of Warcraft

I'm currently thinking about getting back into WoW for the expansion but this kinda irked me.

How come the Eredar can be both Paladin or Shaman, but the Blood Elves can only be Paladins? That kinda pisses me off, it seems like the Alliance gets better treatment a little, heh.

I'd have no problem if Eredar couldn't be Paladins, but it's kinda a slap in the face to the horde. Personally I think a Blood Elf shaman would make total sense. I mean, they will use any magic they can get their hands on, won't they?

    It's all makes sense to me... The factions are at last balanced...

    It's all balanced out...

    Horde Shaman
    Orc
    Troll
    Tauren

    Alliance Paladin
    Human
    Dwarf
    Draenei

    Horde Paladin
    Blood Elves

    Alliance Shaman
    Draenei

    so...

    Yea, i have to agree whole heartedly. As much fun as a blood elf shammy would be they are all very balanced. Ill be rolling a Draeni Warrior myself though.

    I guess I find it all rather lackluster seeing as they took one of the great features of the game (the unique faction classes) and just 'balanced' it all out so now both sides have everything.

    Seems kinda weak to me. I loved the idea of only horde having shaman and only alliance having paladins. The blood elves not being able to be shamans (they do steal magic of any kind they can after all), is just another let down for me.

    Also I'm disappointed that while the Horde finally got bloodlust, the Alliance have the exact same spell (except it's got a different name).

    Am I wrong in feeling that they're kinda dumbing down the game so that it's just a green vs. blue type deal? I mean, aren't they taking away all the identity differences between the two factions?

    I don't like the idea myself that now Horde and Alliance can be shamans and paladins but BE are a magic class that cab steal spells like the spell breakers so it does kind of follow lore with BE stealing the light from the alliance.

    I really dont see what the big deal is here. So what if both sides have all classes now? This just means that blizzard will be able to create more dynamic raid encounters and still give both sides a fair chance.

    Also, shamans and paladins will be getting some spells they've been waiting a long time for, Bloodlust for example.) And who cares if it goes a different name at Alliance side? :P Theres still difference now haha

    ::::04:: Ok, you asked for it!

    _____ Druid even (night elf, tauren)
    _____ Mage even (human, gnome, draenei, troll, undead, blood elf)
    _____ Rogue even (human, dwarf, night elf, gnome, orc, troll, undead, blood elf)

    Horde Shaman +2 (orc, tauren, troll, draenei)
    Horde Warlock +1 (human, gnome, orc, undead, blood elf)
    Horde Hunter +1 (dwarf, night elf, draenei, orc, tauren, troll, blood elf)

    Alliance Paladin +2 (human, dwarf, draenei, blood elf)
    Alliance Priest +1 (human, dwarf, night elf, draenei, troll, undead, blood elf)
    Alliance Warrior +1 (human, dwarf, night elf, gnome, draenei, orc, tauren, troll, undead)

    There we go, exactly even!

    So I guess it's balanced after all!! Crazy!


    And now for the TMI section:

    Draenei: 6
    Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Priest, Shaman, Mage

    Human: 6
    Mage, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Warrior, Warlock

    NE: 5
    Druid, Hunter, Priest, Rogue, Warrior

    Dwarves: 5
    Hunter, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Warrior

    Gnomes: 4
    Mage, Rogue, Warlock, Warrior


    BE: 6
    Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Mage, Warlock

    Trolls: 6
    Hunter, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warrior

    Orcs: 5
    Hunter, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, Warrior

    Undead: 5
    Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, Warrior

    Tauren: 4
    Druid, Hunter, Shaman, Warrior

    so...

    who cares :P

    I was pretty happy when I saw that blood elves could be hunters. I will probably play again at least to 70 as a blood elf hunter. I really don't like the fact that they are so badly trying to balance the game that they are completely pulling things out of their ass. The game has changed way too much from its realese.

    Horde Paladins!

    Now I can be just as annoying as a alliance Paladin in the damn game if I decide to roll another toon.
