I searched, and could find no answer.
Does anyone know why Dwarf Shamans are currently not in the PTR?

All of the new class combination are not available until cataclysm. The point of this PTR is to test out the talents, and changes that are implemented for our classes at level 80 and to see if they need to be fixed. I do share your disappointment that they aren't allowing us to try out the new class combos but we are very close to cataclysm so just hang in there a little more. Hopefully this helped.

They aren't implemented yet. Basically (from what I understand from the front page) only the class changes are in the PTR currently.

[Lunyaa]

It isn't -just- class changes, they implemented the whole pre-patch, and with that comes the old world, class changes, talent trees, etc.

All that will most likely be tested as the PTR goes on.

[Patrickstarr]

Okay, thank you very much for the quick responses.

Not true, they WILL come with the pre-cata patch.

[Lunyaa]

No they won't, Blizzard changed their minds.

Any proof besides an imcomplete ptr patch?

Maybe not Death but I was thinking if only beta players can see changes that come for everyone with or without cata I almost swear they said old world class changes were coming with or without the expansion(GAMESCON interviews) because it is a lore change not a cataclysm change or something like that. Plus big boss or grey fox?

PTR = Cataclysm?

PTR is not quite awesome yet.

Zones have not been updated. You can't create worgen/goblin. No new class/race combinations yet. Everything sucks, and is stupid. Nothing is new, only the interface. It's just like normal WoW, but lags.

I know, I'm a bit confused as everyone else. But our best bet is to wait and see private. Perhaps we may get lucky as they continue to work on this PTR!

Cba to look for it, but they said it during Gamescon, or whatever it was called.

And... no.

Actually, new talents are in too, as are things like the hunter's focus. You're right about the rest though

yep I hope so, what else are we going to do with a month before launch, no one is going to want to see most the new quests unless it is on a new class combo why waste the fun on something that is not new.

Actually what they said, was that before the expansion itself launches, we will receive new class combos and new 1-60 content, and possibly archaeology, not the other way around

Yes, about a week before the expansion. Prior to this we will have the game system changes (pre-81 skill/talent/UI changes, etc.) and possibly more starting event material. Patch 4.0.1 is this patch.

Tom Chilton said it himself at Gamescom:
"The new race / class combos and 1-60 content will be available before World of Warcraft: cataclysm launches."

If you misinterpret that statement to say otherwise then you're the one with bad reading comprehension, or you were just trolling.

If anyone can find a more recent statement with a source that says otherwise, feel free to do so.

Notice I used the words "yet" and "currently".
