Blood Elf Paladins/Draeni Shamans = Lame.

[ithika]

What does everyone else think?

On the one hand, at least Blood Elves aren't just Forsaken clones with a different skin. On the other, giving the Horde paladins doesn't make up for the Shaman imbalance thingy. Plus Blood Elves don't really ring of valour and justice.
Eh.

Ummm. I got a credit in studio last semester and two distinctions. A bit annoyed about the credit, since now my average is only 69. So close, but so far. Eh. Resolve to (somehow!) do better this time around, as well as keeping with my promise to be less lame socially. Got studio with guy who helped Corey last semester and someone else whose name escapes me... both are good, and friendly. So, yay. Unfortunately looks to be work-heavy already, but eh. Still have the refreshed buzzzz of enthusiasm so far, so I suppose I should use it up while it's there.

Cut my finger for the first time ever while cooking on saturday, it was quite an experience, I sliced it up pretty good, apparently. Also under "apparently" comes the surprising (at least to me) information that the sight of my own blood sickens me. I've never had that before, so maybe it was the knowledge that it could be/is quite deep coupled with blood and pain that did it. Anyway, haven't been allowed to cook since. Oh! And I only just took the bandaid off (tsk, tsk) and now the skin is all white looking and undeadlike. I think it may have been a little oxygen deprived. I desperately hope it sorts itself out and regains its living glow, as much as I love the undead. The wound (as it were) is interesting, because it hasn't scabbed (despite bleeding profusely) , more the edges of the "gash" have just... I don't quite know. Temporarily healed themselves until the cut melds itself back together again? Or something.

Um. I'm going to go try some drawing stuff with my fancy books (yo) then play wow. Laterz, El Jaye.

Oh! Will reply to replies soon...ish. Er. Um. I know. I'm a horrible person.

I think it's pretty awesome, because everyone's bitched about it.

It goes white and undead looking, it's waterlogged rather than oxygen deprived. it just needs to dry itself out and it'll be fine.

Paladin more like Blood Knight amirite

Quoting from my guild forums:

"After thinking this over, i do think this change has some positives:

1) It allows the devs to actually make the shaman and paladin class very different instead of having to balance one against the other. With the addition of new spells/abilities and talents from 40-70 the shaman class can take a very different road than a paladin and offer a whole rang of new thing.

Also another healing class isn't a bad thing.

2) It allows for raid encounters where you need to have either a shaman or paladin (like how you need hunters for magmadar) which wasn't possible before

3) It makes it easier to balance raid encounters so progression isn't lopsided.

The main problem is:

Its retarded"

Also, fyi, read the stuff about Blood Knights. They aren't at all valorific or just.

HEALING BY FIRST INTENTION FTW

I thought I'd be disgusted by the sight of my own blood (in greater volumes than a pinprick), but I am strangely fascinated by it. Hmm.
