Well we are getting a new alli race that can shaman, so that will need tweaking. The racials for all races are being tweaked so that will need to be fixed.
I am not sure the druids will be OP though since if the next expac is Emerald Dream related they might want to save the OPness for that.
GOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo Shamans

So if all truth is relative, and all my relatives are liars, does that mean that all truth is lies?
If time is relative, and all my relatives are late, what does that mean?

Q u o t e:
Take it off gcd and give it its own gcd. Or a few seconds cd, shared. I think hunter aspects and paladin auras already do this no ?
No. No they don't. They have a GCD duration.

Q u o t e: I just want to go on record here. So far I'm two for two in terms of expansions. Before TBC came out, I predicted warlocks would be the god class, and they were for a good portion of it. The lore behind the The Burning Crusade seemed to favor warlocks.
This wasn't too much of surprise though, considering locks were OP towards the end of vanilla WoW anyway.
Then for WotLK, I predicted paladins and of course DKs would be uber. Both were deeply and intimately woven into the lore of the story and DKs were the new hero class. So, no surprises there.
And so, looking ahead to Cataclysm, it seems druids are poised to be the god class, and possibly shaman. Looks like these two classes, particularly druids with their connection to the dragon aspects, will be stepping up big time in the story.
We'll see, but I think the next god class will be the druid.
Interesting, especially given we've not provided any of our class previews yet. Are you using the same methods the madman sniper utilized to determine Navin R. Johnson was his target?

I think druids will be a major part in Cataclysm but I think shamans are the next class to play because of how much elemental stuff they have coming out. Druids will be the class to play when the Emerald Dream is released.

Hunter aspects are off the GCD now. As are warrior stances. Since shapeshifts are more similar to aspects/stances, removing the GCD is the thing to do. =)
