On the actual topic: Yes, please. More Shaman. Shaman for everyone!
Although, as much as I want unique lore for each one I feel like modern Blizzard has not been super gracious or interesting in the story-telling department when extending new race/class combos as of late. I don’t expect too much of a deep-dive other than ‘The elements said Hello’
While in a perfect world, I’d LOVE some story content because I just really love Shaman and I like unique racial takes on different classes. (Priest is a big love of mine for this reason) I’m honestly just fine with them ham fisting it in at this point ‘cause I’m enough of a nerd to create my own lil’ stories.
Oh I’m already there… I just keep stressing about it, otherwise I’d post the story of a young blood elf rediscovering the “friends” she used to have as a child.
I love this take, this is a similar story I have for my Goblin Shaman. A lonely child in Everlook who started befriending local minor ice elementals out of sheer boredom because there were no other children around to play with.
Honestly, this is my one pitfall if they ended up opening Shaman as a class for every race: I would be playing musical chairs CONSTANTLY with Naovi. More than I already do… which is a lot.
A Worgen Shaman who is a champion of Goldrinn’s ferocity and wields the power of the elements as a result? Check!
A Night Elf Druid turned Shaman who saw the destruction of Darkshore by Deathwing, and as a result started to hear the elements in peril? Heck yeah.
A Gnomish Engineer who started harnessing the power of Storms for her inventions? Yeaaa babyeeee.
A Blood Elf who sought knowledge from her Allies in desperation to heal Quel’thalas? Wooooo!
The list goes on… and on and on. So basically a non-problem.
A Nightborne Shaman using magitech gear to aid in communication and channeling of elemental/spiritual power…
A Night Elf Shaman, living in exile after thinking she was going mad from the voices she could hear after watching watching her home burn from the “safety” of the shore…
A Void Elf Shaman, having trouble telling which voices are which…
This has made me realize that I want more Wretched.
I never put much thought into them until now. But I’d so dig Wretched trying to rehabilitate and re-enter society instead of just being quest fodder.
A Wretched customization would be nice. An Elf who over-indulged and survived till the Sunwell’s return. Their needs sated once again, but their body forever wracked by their overindulgence.
