Hmm for a shaman class review

One of the reasons we don't do class reviews per patches is the same reason that haunts us a little today. Players have the expectation that if they see another class get changes that they are next in line and then get disappointed when those changes don't materialize, at least at the magnitude they were anticipating.

For 3.1, we made pretty major changes to the priest, DK, warlock and paladin trees, because we think they needed it. Rogues and hunters got some talent changes too. The rest, not as many. Every class has some changes, but we try not to make changes just for the sake of change. The Resto tree in particular is something we are pretty happy with, and we made some pretty major Elemental changes for 3.08.

There are some more changes coming that you haven't seen yet, but you shouldn't go line by line through the other classes and mourn when you didn't get the same number of buffs.
