Shaman
What Forever changes
Dwarves can now be Shamans, so the class is no longer Horde-only. Elemental gains Lava Burst and Lightning Overload, Enhancement gains Maelstrom Weapon, Mental Dexterity and Rage of the Farseer, and Restoration gains Water Shield and Riptide. Totem bars (Call of the Elements, Ancestors and Spirits) and Totemic Recall arrive as trainer spells.
