Emerald Nightmare: The Emerald Nightmare is a corrupted version of the Emerald Dream. In World of Warcraft Chronicle, we learn that the Emerald Nightmare was started when the Night Elves planted World Trees, one of which reached Yogg-Saron's prison. This allowed the other Old Gods to use the trees as a gateway to corrupt the Emerald Nightmare. In early WoW expansions, players encountered the Emerald Nightmare through Naralex's disciples in Wailing Caverns, The Overgrowth in Southern Barrens, the corrupted Green Dragon world bosses (removed in Cataclysm), and the Valithria Dreamwalker encounter in Icecrown Citadel. The Emerald Nightmare also has a major role in Legion, spoilers under the cut:
The Emerald Nightmare is spreading from Shala'drassil in Val'sharah in the Broken Isles. As part of the corruption, Xavius captures Malfurion Stormrage and corrupts Ysera. The final quest in Val'sharah sends you to help Tyrande subdue Ysera and thwart the attack on the Temple of Elune. The Emerald Nightmare is also the first raid in Legion with bosses Cenarius and Xavius.

Corrupting Neltharion: Before Deathwing, Neltharion was the noble leader of the Black Dragonflight, helping his allies protect Azeroth. HIs moment of betrayal happened during the War of the Ancients when he used the power of the Dragon Soul, an item with the essence of all the Dragonflights, on both the Burning Legion and the Dragonflights. You can watch his moment of betrayal after defeating Queen Azshara in Well of Eternity. Deathwing is later defeated in Dragon Soul in the encounters Spine of Deathwing and Madness of Deathwing. Deathwing was responsible for the massive destruction in Azeroth during the Cataclysm.

Highborne Transformation: The destruction of the Well of Eternity turned Azshara and her loyal Highborne into Naga. Several items reference this transformation, like the Archaeology solve Bones of Transformation. One of the most well-known Naga is Lady Vashj, the final boss of Serpentshrine Cavern. In Legion, Azshara and her handmaidens hope to retrieve the Restoration Shaman artifact Sharas'dal, Scepter of Tides so they can gain more control over the plane of water. There is also a quest series with Naga, Visions of Vashj'ir Past, in Vashj'ir which is likely the location for N'Zoth's prison.

Comment by JhakuziDreadlord Jaina confirmed I guess? :P

Elemental animations looking pretty neat! They didn't change that much, but I think the little polish was needed! Well done.Comment by SilmafarionThat demons infiltrating Dalaran and classes being able to expose them is awesome.Comment by AtratzuThe makup people at blizzard must be having a crazy amount of work and time, with this movie production. haha, It's crazy seeing how they make people look like creatures in wow. (which is WAYYY better then just CGI-ing everything)Comment by overthinkerIs it just me or is the Stormkeeper just waving at the target dummy? Why could they not put some kind of animation for the attack.Comment by TwingearI'm... Underwhelmed, with the Shaman animations in this. After seeing Enhancement I figured that Elemental would too get some really awesome looking stuff, and have their mains seem better, but... There's barely anything. :/

Laba burst is the same, the volcano it spawns (whilst cool) is not too well animated, most of the totems looks exactly the same, Chain Lightning barely got an upgrade (I had to look it through a few times to make sure that there were anything at all) and I had really expected Shock spels to be more than a faint, barely existing light at your hands and the target. Something like a burst of magic at the least had been in mind.

Now, it's not all bad mind you. Lightning Bolt looks fantastic, I like the animation for summoning the elemental with the lightning around the raised fist weapon (Why they didn't use the same lightning for Lightning Storm is beyond me) Earthquake totem haves a really good animation going beneath it and Lightning Rod looks swell.

I'm sure that the gameplay will be good, and I'm surely going to play this at some point and likely enjoy the experience. I just thought there'd be more of an upgraded visual for this when I compare it to Enhancement Shaman or, if we have to take another caster, Fire Mages. But then again, it's not live yet, there's still hope some of these are just a bit raw in it and things will improve. :)

As for other matters, I like the hidden demon thing going. Might be rather interesting. :3Comment by ZefyronFrost mages suffer even more from lack of innovated abilities/animations :/Comment by Random0223Elemental Shaman actually feels like the class/spec... GJ Blizz!Comment by GrumpyOldDwarfDo Hunters not have Demon Tracking anymore? Wouldn't this be able to track those Demons as well?Comment by Gressieiiieww that face off cringeComment by perculiaDo Hunters not have Demon Tracking anymore? Wouldn't this be able to track those Demons as well?Comment by bumblebetunaHoly crap... someone should have reminded them that tauren have FUR. About the only one that turned out alright is Valen.Comment by OrissanThe makup people at blizzard must be having a crazy amount of work and time, with this movie production. haha, It's crazy seeing how they make people look like creatures in wow. (which is WAYYY better then just CGI-ing everything)Comment by Random0056Awesome animations for Elemental Shamans.Comment by ZoaricHoly crap... someone should have reminded them that tauren have FUR. About the only one that turned out alright is Valen.Comment by HathegklaHope they bring back the elemental shaman it got DESTROYED on wod.. it's pretty much a joke.Comment by icreatedsethDear Blizz,

May we please have the old ghost wolf back? You know, the one without the godawful tusks? If I wanted tusks, I'd be a troll, not a draenei. >:/Comment by WolfrickOMG! OMG! OMG! I love the new Shaman, he looks and feels very awesome... (8 years Shaman Veteran). WELL DONE BLIZZARD! KEEP IT UP!

NOW WE CAST SPELLS WITH OUR WEAPON! OMG! BLIZZARD I LOVE YOU SO HARD NOW! AMAZING... SORRY FOR MY EXITEMENT BUT....... ITS A DREAM BECOMEING TRUE! IT IS AWESOME... (/FAINT)

Positive Notifications.

1. Chain lightning... looks AMAZING!
2. Voodoo Totem Looks very cool and is a great Idea.
3. Lightning Rod, Looks pritty cool, feels like Thor is around!

4. Earthquake totem, is Perfect, now you can see where you have put up the "Earthquake"
5. The new Spell Icefury is a great Input, it can make so many cool combinations with Frostshock...
6. Volcanic inferno, makes me think back to Diablo 3 and the Pritty cool Druid ability, Perfect for Shamans!

Changing Notifications.

1. I would prefer that "Lightning bolt" is a bolt (the old version is almost perfect, maybe just polish it) the new one, looks just like a simple Lightning charge... it gives the idea of a Miser Chain Lightning.

2. I really Appriciate the new Elementals, and that we can summon them with out setting out a Totem (thanks aloot for that fix). I just have 2 ideas, how about you give us the possability to glyph how we want to make our Elementas look (Old version "vanilla", Cataclysm, and WOD elementals), this could bring so much to the immersive part, since some shamans could even immagim them selfs as a shaman from Dreanor. (This is just a cool idea)

3.Ghost Wolf from, how about you give us the possability to Glyph the older verson back, so that we have the possability to choose which one we like, dont mistake me I LOVE THE NEW MODEL, and i WOULD NEVER CHANGE IT, but I always think about everyone not only my self.

AGAIN, THANKS BLIZZARD FOR MAKKING WORLD OF WARCRAFT AMAZING AGAIN! THIS IS THE WAY TO GO! WELLDONE!Comment by kellorionNo new animation for Lightning Shield? Its SOOOOOOOOO vanilla.Comment by unholydriverThat card is adorable. <3Comment by VerdammtXYou would think Warlocks would be able to detect the demons in Dalaran since, you know, we tend to run around with a demon in our back pocket all the time.
