Shamans are getting swords in next expansion!

Ok I've only ever heard this news from other topics and posts but I am convinced enough that shamans will be able to use swords in the next expansion.

I think in about a month or 2 it will be safe to allow shamans to roll on Warglaive of Azzinoth. Thats right warriors and rogues you heard me!

Obviously just a bit of confusion from some of what was seen at BlizzCon. Yes, some changes planned for a future patch mistakenly made it into the expansion build we were using for the show.

The change I believe you're referring to is that a new talent would be replacing the "Two-Handed Axes and Maces" talent. If that new talent does in fact go in - keep in mind these changes are in-development - then two-handed axes and maces would be trainable for all shaman. Please keep in mind that we may implement changes, test them, and then revert or wholly alter them.

Clarity Incoming: As far as I'm aware swords aren't being considered to be usable with a talent, or as a base trainable weapon type.
