*"Oh, there’s definitely a world where Blizzard does exactly that—because let’s be real, Blizzard has always had a soft spot for Paladins. Giving them all the totem buffs was just another example of their favoritism, and now Horde is left with only two Ashbringer classes while Alliance gets the full package. It’s not about balance—it’s about Blizzard’s ongoing tradition of making sure Paladins stay stacked with advantages.
And let’s not forget that Elemental, Restoration, and Shaman tanks have been completely ignored when it comes to legendaries throughout all of SoD. Hunters have received two legendary-tier weapons, while these Shaman specs have gotten absolutely nothing. If Blizzard truly cared about class balance, they would have ensured that every spec had access to a meaningful legendary, rather than doubling up on options for Hunters, Warriors, and Paladins. Instead,3 of the Shaman specs are still left out once again.
