  • Shamans have mana, but it doesn't do anything for them. Mana is gone unless you are a Restoration Shaman! It has been replaced with a new resource called Maelstrom. It is built up through using abilities and then used on certain abilities. It is somewhat similar to the Demon Hunter resource but themed for Shamans and what they do.

During the DH presentation they said that their resource, Fury, is just like the Rage resource of a Warrior. Now they're saying that Maelstrom is "somewhat similar" to the resource of a DH, which means that Maelstrom will be like Rage, and to be honest, I love boxing Warriors since I find their Rage resource easy to deal with.

So, I guess it depends on how you play certain classes. Mana is clearly easier to deal with, but I don't find Rage all that difficult to deal with. We'll have to see how it plays out.
