Shaman Totems vs Paladin Blessings

[lemekim]

Your guess is as good as mine about where the two hybrid clases are going to go in the expansion.

It is true that we don't know what direction the two classes are going. But the availability of these classes to both factions in the expansion certainly opens up many more possible directions.

Blizzard can now actually specialize these classes, rather then trying to keep them balanced against each other. What I mean by this is, we might see some encounters where a Paladin is called to tank, or Shamans becoming an actually viable DPS class - giving new, fun and unique skills to one class will no longer have to go through the "faction imbalance check", which is good news for both classes. Bloodlust for Shamans! Actual melee skills for Paladins! Etc.
