Quote:shaman are a 5 on the scale of Pve assement, but for pvp they are 10 a shaman was ment to pvp{back in to old days they was a monster in pvp you could not kill them much like the paladins who spec holy}
now we have blood elfs paladins, on horde side i hope they can make the shaman and paladins work because as of now shamans are being let out to pasture.
That's a bit silly. Even not counting any possible buffs to Shaman mechanics in the expansion, you still need several, and each additional one definatly improves your raid. WF totem is still a very important buff, and mana spring/mana tide are still very nice, even if they are weak compared to BOW/JOW. Shaman don't scale with the number of people in the raid, but they do scale to the number of shaman (up to atleast 8).
If anything it is Pally's who will probably be squeezed for spots. Their buffs scale for the number of people in the raid, becoming somewhat overpowered in 40 man raids. However, they do not scale to the number of palaldins, becoming less attractive after 3 and much less attractive after 4.
