Re: Tauren Priests or Tauren Rogues, Dwarf Warlocks

Really, we're well past the point where *all* races could conceivably be any class, perhaps barring druids if the Cenarion Circle is set on only night elves and tauren. Because there's been enough time for all the races to learn how to be any* class. And some classes are simply game mechanics; we al...

Re: Any way or future plan for changing race?

Roll troll from the start and then there's no need for a race change. Until racials change or racials are effectively added to the other races. Like the +5 bow skill available in Hyjal. This made the one reason some people chose their race no longer matter. Not me specifically, but I know it annoye...

Re: Axe Model Request: Ichor Spitter for Alliance

I don’t even know the specific axe but I’ll second this. In the “old” days, players can and did change character faction simply to unlock faction specific transmogs. I don’t think there was anything wrong with doing that; it didn’t affect gameplay and players paid for this option. Ultimately, it wou...

You've hit upon a definite conundrum. If I may though, it seems too narrow to think of *only* shaman minions - because that's what totems are. The minions of hunters and warlocks also suffer because they don't scale at all with gear at 60. Of course, why would it end just at minions though? Many ski...

Some devil's advocate arguments - both Shamans and Priests would require new racial abilities to code.
This part isn’t a valid reason why since new priest racials already were added. It’s not a technical difficulty. Perhaps a creative difficulty, but truly not a challenging one.
