With so much happening these last few weeks, the site took a hit in updates, but I was able to get some time in to post up the blizzcon Q&A and single out the shaman only question. Enjoy.
Q: Often as an enhancement shaman, I find that weapon drops, specifically agility one handers, are always rare or not made to be slow (I know slow daggers seem pretty odd, but stay with me here). Is there any chance we would be able to reforge swing speeds?
A: We don't want minute differences in weapon speed to have a
non-obvious, massive effect. We like daggers being fast and other
weapons being slow and will make shaman etc. mechanics work around that.
Q: Wind Shear change shouldn't hurt enhancement shamans, but most don't take Reverb. It also hurts Resto Shaman, any plans to fix this?
A: Raids usually have enough people, so it won't hurt the raid. PvP might force you to make the choice, but it is still an interrupt with a longer cooldown.
Q: Do you hate enhancement shamans? DPS sucks, in PvP they suck, any plans to fix them? / Any plans for Illidan to come back?
A: Lets answer the Illidan question. Do you want to see Illidan come back? We will think about that.
This is a problem, just like frost mages dont do well in PvE but the difference is you can't tell an enhancement shaman "hey just go elemental". In PvP it will be much easier in 5.0 but for PvE we will try to address some of the issues in 4.3
Q: The new shaman talent points seem to be geared for resto and not to a damage point, I know you said you want hybridization is coming more into play but what about DPS?
A: There are DPS options there, some of the tiers are based around movement, totems, etc.
Q: Which classes are available to a pandaren?
A: Currently, pandaren can choose to be hunters, mages, priests, rogues, shaman, warriors, and of course monks. Pandaren are not able to become death knights, druids, paladins, or warlocks.
