Have a fun 7 days of not being able to say anything.

If this fix goes live, then I expect ret paladins and enh/ele shamans to get CC as well. If they don't, expect a ton of QQ on WoW forums.

If anything, druids are now slightly overpowered, since even Restoration and Feral druids (at the beginning of the pull) can CC now as well. Blizzard really should move the Improved Roots abilities deep into the Balance tree.

I'm guessing you're talking about this picture: WoWScrnShot_052208_183615copy.jpg - Image - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

More than likely, the dwarven destroyer and the ship adjacent to it are simply eye candy; if you look at the Theramore/Menethil/Booty Bay docks, the ships that are meant for player transport dock perpendicularly to the docks, so they can get in and get out easily. The ships that remain stationary are docked parallel to the docks. I would bet that players will use the Night Elf-themed ship on the bottom right corner of the image to get to Northrend.

EDIT: I'm stupid. After looking at the other images, particularly WoWScrnShot_052208_183556copy.jpg - Image - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting , there seems to be a second dwarf destroyer docked perpendicularly on the longest dock existing. So I'll bet that we'll use that boat for Northrend.

yeah.. i was talking about that pic... the ships look quite funky.. i remember seeing the Thalassian Destroyers in TBC and the Darnassian Voyagers..and thinking wow! how beautiful and very Elven like, this i like even more. I just hope they really decide to do over the 8 original race graphics and animation with such finesse as they're capable, man do most of the alliance races need serious makeover.. human male graphics and NELf male animations are one of the worse in the game imo, and to be honest, a seroius makeover to character appearance and animation will get me even more excited than class abilities.

Dunno how much whining there will be over the CC issue if shaman/Palas don't get one, i mean feral druids and resto druids can use roots in all the outdoor instances currently from Zul'Farrak upwards, but the don't, i doubt it will change much for them at all, and druids have always had roots and long before arguments regarding having CC on Shaman/Palas arose, and have been moaning for roots indoors since the beginning. The use of roots in outdoor instances has shown it's not game breaking at all, it's always been there anyway, so druids having it indoors now i doubt will have much bearing on whether they give CC to Shaman/Ret Palas. Saying that, I will be VERY surprised if Shaman don't get a CC, and very surprised if it is as good as polymorph, it will likely have some restriction. Ret paladins ..hmm.. would probably get a CC 51pt talent like Repentance lasting about 20secs or rather an improved repentance extending it's duration for 5/10 secs.
