New Shaman Class Champion: Magtha Grimtotem

[Rotomon]

"Shaman: Magtha Grimtotem, the tauren who engineered the death of Cairne Bloodhoof and subsequently exiled"

Why on Azeroth would I want that person as a Class Hall Champion... Being a Tauren Shaman that is a horrible option.

[FelPlague]

because shes a insanely strong shaman?
and the end of the world is upon us?
also doing the quest that gets you her makes it alittle more explainable

[Darleth]

What FelPlague said.
Also, do the quest line on the PTR. Explains a bit about her motivation to help the player.

[Rotomon]

Eh, I guess its like the Garona thing. Still not sure I'd trust Magtha.

[Venziir]

The sole reason is basically "Sure, you don't trust me one bit, fair enough, but I'm insanely powerful, have an entire tribe at my side AND the Doomstone... So what do you say?"

Why don't you trust Garona? It's not like they've explained her character 10+ times already.

The Rogues have Vanessa Van Cleef. Magatha Grimtotem isn't all that shocking.

any info what her abilities as bodyguard are?

Well, there is everything I know about:
Restoration - Counters Boss
Chain Lightning - Counters Minions
Chance on returning from a Mission with an Item to summon a Grimtotem Warrior (probably similar to Abominations I guess, didn't test).

Pretty sure she was using Chain Lightnings as a bodyguard, nothing too special. She also died quite a lot to AoE for me on the PTR.

To be fair, Rogues are expected to be traitorous :P

Yeah, but besides Vanessa all the other rogues are pretty much just like "meh, lets concentrate on the legion, stahp with killing each other because of allegiances and other things!". Vanessa is literally the only rogue-follower, that tries to stab you in the back in the beginning :P

With Grimtotem its at least "well, I dont have another choice to ask the earthen ring for help to rescue my people, even though I dont care about the earthen ring". Also the player is a huge dick towards her, of course rightfully so :P

True, but Shamans aren't exactly Paladins.

[Guran]

True, but Shamans aren't exactly Paladins.

No, they're way better
While Paladins ar all about Honor & Justice, Shamans are about respect & balance of power, cheesy assassinations are hardly respectful.

Better than the no name female dwarf and the married? Earthfurys we've now.

[Ranulf13]

I could have prefered MU Drek'thar, a troll shaman or a shaman Pandaren to expand on that front.

We have:

- Draenei
- Dwarf
- Orc
- Tauren
- 4 elementals of each element.

Didnt you do the Deepholem questline? She is the most visible and memorable shaman dwarf npc in the game.

I did the questline and she didnt do any Shaman-y things there at all. It was a very poor experience, I think I didnt even notice her as a Shaman.

- Orc
- Tauren

Troll is obviously missing.

I mean Trolls are kinda influentual to the Shaman Class.

We should have got Gravy the Shaman Chef as a champion.

[Rotomon]

My main hangup is im a Tauren Shaman, Im still Salty about Carine's death and all.

But with Vancleef family the Alliance was completely and utterly at fault?

Reminder that in Deadmines we're the bad guys.

Sort of ... They were making a big ass ship to destroy Stormwind. Regardless of the debt they were owed for building it, it doesn't make us the bad guys to basically stop a terrorist organization. Of course that a child that witnessed the death of her father doesn't see things that way, but it doesn't make her right :/
