I been maining a tank shaman on SOD, it’s the most fun I have in WoW in ages. Making a shaman tank in War Within will definitely bring me back to retail.
Only if they give us 2H weapons back. Pigeon holing and funneling shaman into DW in BC onwards was one of the most baffling, senseless choices blizz ever made and I don't think they ever explained why.
I'm as degenerate as the next guy when it comes to goat porn but I actually find her character interesting, believe it or not. Some of us prefer essentially good characters quietly struggling with aspects of their faith or consumption by zealotry, rather than growly orcs growling.
Shaman tank spec is definitely much more plausible now. With this new patch cadence/cycle, they've shown they're willing to add specs mid-expansion. Alongside the shaman tank in the follower dungeon, I think it's a possibility!
A new spec for each class (or most) would give much more than a new class. New classes are exciting but I can never stick to playing them for some reason.
"Blizzard did it", "Actually Exciting", "Gamechanger", "Blizzard learned their lesson", "This is what we've been missing"... I hope this expansion is going to live up to all this praise.
Nyckelharpa is Swedish/Nøkkelharpe is Norwegian for 'key harp', kind of a cross between a viola and a hurdy gurdy, the latter of which it probably shares Middle-Eastern roots. The instrument arrived in Scandinavian (mainly Swedish and Norwegian) folk music in the 17th century via Germany. It's the same instrument as is used in the Grizzly Hills theme, I believe, as well as lots of other fantasy movies/games soundtracks.
honestly them adding a shaman tank I think that would be really cool sense SoD has shaman tank as a proper thing so to have it live on in some way I think it would just be really cool
I’ve always thought shamans needed the Druid treatment. Keep all the current specs, add a fourth tank spec, and then focus each spec even further into specific elements. Prot would be earth, Enhancement would be fire, Elemental would be Lightning, and Resto would be water and nature, with wind being shared between them all.
I created a Shaman based off a character who uses a shield, but couldn't really get into being an Elemental Shaman. Having a Shaman tank spec that uses a shield would be fantastic. They attempted Shaman tank specs before, and I do hope they'll commit to it again.
@@Robzeke Yeah, they said no new combos coming "immediately", but we've known since before DF released that they are already actively working on expanding the combos, and Shaman should be next in line based on the lore and asset complexities of druid and paladin. And, I'm not saying that's definitely what it is, I'm just saying that's more likely than a tank spec.
Trials is my fave short story so far, i watched Pyromancer do a reading and he did a voice similar to Thrall in tone when Thrall spoke, it gave life to the narration for me. that being said, i look forward to more of Thrall's children having stories, since one or both may go on to lead the Orcs one day.
Cool to future the post about the shaman issues. You sure show Publik’s post about the Priest issues…and the deafening silence that has followed from Blizz
I have given up on love as much as I given up on shammy tank but it was as good as it lasted in MC back in the days. Don’t tease me man my heart can’t take another breaking 😢
Pretty sure during the war crimes novel kairoz chose that specific timeline to bring garrosh to because an alternate version of him didn't exist in it. So unless he was born later or they ressurected our dead one we left in nagrand. I dont think it's gonna happen. I'm all for fighting a lightforged zealot army though xD
my problem with each expansion is that by the end of the expansion prior you feel pretty bad ass. Then you’re supposed to start a new expansion where you will initially feel pretty bad ass again but then by the time you reach level cap, the whole cycle starts over again.. You feel like a wet noodle until you grind enough reputation, and dungeons.
I do hope we see Shaman tanks!! I wonder how they'll play though. How will they be different from the other tanks? Will they be 1H+Shield like in SoD, will they be dual wielding 1H weapons, or using a 2H weapon?
I actually like the log in screen. It's like unlocking a chest. Evoker not being a tank was a missed opportunity and I think Augment Shaman would have been better lorewise and raiding. Just my two cents.
Shaman needs it's Venthyr covenant ability as a baseline with the flame shock crit legendary as a talent and the Unity ability. Chain Harvest was EASILY the best ability shaman have had in a really long time...especially when the flame shocks it produced could crit to reduce it's cooldown.
The yrel going crazy part is still one of the most outlandish decisions on blizzards part. I know we recently fought a massive war to avoid being enslaved by the orcs and we just reached peace after stopping a world destroying threat. But with 0 context and 0 plot, we are gonna make the far more peaceful faction the aggressor. The only thing i can think of is they got tired of the writing being the horde commits a genocide or atrocity, commence the next war.
With Xalatath and the void in the mix, anyone know how much content is 'shadow priest' specific? I'm just curious how much I'd be missing out if I played through the campaign with a different character
Locking campaign progression behind renown will always be a bad thing, especially if the breakpoints cannot be reached by simply doing the campaign and a few side quests. Many people despise repitition, and avoid world quests and redoing events they've already done once, like the plague.
In regards to the arathi light leader, im recalling the old god whispers referencing the light. Maybe they werent refering the that light bound dread lord. Ive mained enhance since the burning crusade....we have had alot and i mean alot of nerfbats that really crippled our class fantasy or just survival, hell even relevance unless your knowledegable enough to make it work. The things id do for shamnistic rage i swear...i hope war within doesnt take away the fun that is burst lol Just always loved enhance.
I would be fine this if the main story was not going to be locked behind renown. If they do lock it behind it then they are just time gating the games story.
If we get shaman tank then that's my new main class. Lol main pally currently but keep having to have ranged alts cause I don't like druid. Another class that can fill every role would be sick.
I like what I'm hearing with this expansion, but I liked what I heard about Dragonflight, and Shadowlands, and BFA, and Legion... Ended up hating all of them (Dragonflight not as much, but still got old very fast). I think Blizzard has run dry on trust, but I will check in periodically, and if 11.3.7 is satisfying, I'll consider trying the expansion. I'm not holding my breath though, the spell has been broken for me. I hope those who play it enjoy it, though.
I mean, there were tank talents in classic already and you almost couldn´t have any better template than shaman with totems and earth+water. I am asking for this shit for every expansion now.
Tank shaman would be awesome. As a shaman main.. I would love to play one.. And i dont want to play Season of discovery.. Because its just not worth it... To me at least.
Like i dont rly get the login screen thing. But if anything why cant they make one from every major race city where NPC and stuff just go about their day and you can choose what screen you want. Then again. U litterly look at the login screen for maybe 3seconds before it goes into your char select.
"almost done" - well, you certainly don´t play Holypriest. We go into TWW as we were in DF, again with zero posts, changes or communicatoin for a month. Just as in DF beta...
Having the campaign locked behind renown in any form feels bad regardless of how fast/easy getting the renown is. Not the total end of the world but it’s unnecessary.

Into the machine campaign is still busted. Doubt the expansion is ready but we’ll see. Leveling from 70-76 is pretty quick but from 77 to 80 it takes a long time. Giving by the second map if you do delves, dungeons & quest you’ll get to 80 easily.

New specs >>>>> New classes
Somewhat, but I find new classes more exciting

Purriod!!
Would love to see the old pre-Legion disc priest come back as a new spec.
@@pepepicapinto543at this point though, a lot of "new classes" people want could ~reasonably~ be added as a 4th spec for a class
Jumps on the Shaman copium train with haste, "give me the damn tank spec i wanted since fluffing vanille 20 years ago".
Nyckelharpa is the instrument from the Grizzly Hills music!
Swedish folk instrument!
Beautiful one at that.
"Blizzard did it", "Actually Exciting", "Gamechanger", "Blizzard learned their lesson", "This is what we've been missing"... I hope this expansion is going to live up to all this praise.
It won't
every loud one will hate it and after it is finished, many will remember it and say they loved it.
just like Pandaria xD heck, even Legion xD
@@LuckyPed10 exactly they all hated mop and preffered classic
Looks like a dragonflight copy paste, because they think dragonflight was a success.
Ditto 😑
Enhancement was supposed to be the tank spec back in the day.
Just like feral was (also) the druid tank spec :P
And ret was supposed to be a dps spec. I don't think we wanna reference spec design from back in the day, the game was so new.
shaman tank and tinker is what would make come back to the gam😍

in vanilla that was the plan they were able to off tank then they decided not to allow it after patch 1.2
After the Thrallaclysm expansion I had enough of thrall to last 7 lifetimes. He was in every quest and dungeon it felt like.
bugger off with Lightforged Garrosh, I want to see a Lightforged Grommash. We didn't see him die after all.
I created a Shaman based off a character who uses a shield, but couldn't really get into being an Elemental Shaman. Having a Shaman tank spec that uses a shield would be fantastic. They attempted Shaman tank specs before, and I do hope they'll commit to it again.
There's been no Mail Tank for the longest time
I mean unless you count the barely ever used shaman of vanilla, the longest time is ever
Last legitimate mail tanks was when warrior and pally had to get to level 40 to use plate. Had to use mail before then.
I'm just going to call it now (because no one else has) that login screen is slowly breaking apart and its 100% going to burst open on launch day.
That would be neet if Thrall's Elemental Disfunction will turn into Shaman Tank Spec
I suspect the undisclosed shaman "update" is more likely to be rolling it out to all races rather than getting a tank spec.
More likely
They cant roll them out to new races because they gotten make TOTEMS. Remember why we cant get more new paladins!? art team limitations!
Didn't they say recently there were no new race/class combos coming?
@@Robzeke Yeah, they said no new combos coming "immediately", but we've known since before DF released that they are already actively working on expanding the combos, and Shaman should be next in line based on the lore and asset complexities of druid and paladin.

Shaman tank? I mean I wouldn’t be upset about it but it’d definitely be in the realm of things I thought they’d never do ...
It was always supposed to be a thing all the way back in vanilla but got cut because one of the devs had a hate boner for multi-role classes.
Hear me out...Arcane Mage Tank.
This. Simply this.
It would finally make arcane not so dang boring. I could see them tanking with floating weapons and stuff.
I mean if I got to tank as a warlock I'd come back to retail.
I have given up on love as much as I given up on shammy tank but it was as good as it lasted in MC back in the days. Don’t tease me man my heart can’t take another breaking 😢
I really hope for more classes or specs with shields. So tank shaman? Yep, good
Personally, i like the new login screen and how simple it is. What i would love is to be able to change the background to a selected list
I've been waiting for Yrel to come back into the fold and this does seem to be the perfect time
They’re definitely going to do something with the login screen later. Like something breaking out, there’s no way they’re gonna leave it that boring
Mid expansion Shaman Tank would be insanely awesome

I assume you got here early before Bellular had a chance to clear out all the porn link spambots. Lucky bastard.
Locking the main story behind a bloody rep/renown wall is completely ludicrous. There isn't a single MMO that does this.
Light Garrosh can give Maghar pallys and then give us Au Grom as the maghar leader bc we never saw him die. Give the Horde two chars back
Will you make a video about keybinds for each class and spec like last time before dragonflight launched? The excel sheet was very usefull

It won't be Garrosh regardless. It will be a different son of Grom, the same way Geya'rah isn't Thrall/Go'el
