Horde Paladins and Alliance Shaman in WoW Expansion

Gamespot has the news that Blizzard will be allowing 'crossover' classes with the new races promised for the Burning Crusade expansion. The Paladin class, up until now an Alliance class, will be allowed for the Horde race of Blood Elves. Likewise, the Alliance Draenei will be able to choose the Horde Shaman class. From the article: "According to Blizzard, Horde paladins and Alliance shamans will have many of the same talents of their traditional counterparts, though they "will also enjoy some unique abilities to themselves, similar to the priest class' racial specialties." Since this new feature will fundamentally change the asymmetry between the game's two factions, it will presumably have a significant impact on the way the game is played, especially in competitive player-versus-player combat." It's also likely to somewhat balance the preference between the two factions. A pretty race for the Horde, and what is considered (by some) a very powerful class for the Alliance.

Speaking as a Tauren Shaman, I wouldn't want to face someone who has Windfury and Frostshock.

I, for one, welcome our new Space Shaman overlords.

The Paladin Song...

*tunes musical instrument* To the tune of "I'm a little teapot"

I'm a little paladin, short and stout! Here is my hammer, and my free mount!
When I get in trouble, hear me shout! Just throw up my shield, and hearthstone out!

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week...
