New Alliance Race Speculation thickens!

[Brother Laz]

Also regarding balance--how would they handle mixing Shaman totems (Mana Spring, Tranquil air, etc.) with Paladin buffs (Wisdom, Salvation, etc.)? It could completely trivialize some encounters. Or imagine attempting Razorgore with a combination of low-aggro heals and earthbind totem.

Not a reason. In Lord of Destruction, they added so much new stuff (charms, mercs, class items) that Normal difficulty became trivial. On top of that, they nerfed all slightly difficult encounters. Ever wondered why Bremm Sparkfist isn't LE?
