New Gate potion idea

[Lushissx]

I am not a shaman, just a long time gate potion buyer. I think someone ought to suggest shaman get some new potions while at this weeks FF. The wizards and druids always get the new port spells, give shammies some thing new and unique that us non porters would really love.


1st: Dragons Field--Gate to Western Waste (Nothing more fun than getting a whole raid to this zone)
2d: Sarnaks Field--Gate to Sarnak Fort in Burning woods. (I hate that long run)
3d: Wakening Fields--Gate to Wakening Lands. (its not so much the running through the zones to get here, but all the zoning time)
4th: Slaughter Fields--Gate to WoS.

Sure there are more.

Port-a-Shamans

My consideration is that the shaman gate potions were not supposed to replace druid/wizard ports, so gate-to-convenient-location potions aren't likely to go over big. But there are some that would add to their line, that make sense based on actual shamans, and would therefore be more likely to allow.

Potion of Grimling: Why limit Vah Shir shaman to just Shadeweaver's Thicket? The other side of the city would be a nice addition, and wouldn't be very overpowering. It'd simplify zoning, and still fit the idea put forward by the "essence of home" potions to date.

Potion of Kael: Aren't there shaman among the defenders of Kael Drakkal? It makes sense that they'd also manage this sort of thing. Where it lands is realistically up to the designer, but the Eastern Wastes is a possibility, as is the Wakening Lands.

Potion of the Feerott: This uses the same argument as the Grimling potion. I didn't see anything in the list that allows ogres access to their home, but perhaps this already exists.

One can add other possibilities to the list, but the idea is there. Any additions that I missed, or ideas for better choices?

What about 'bind' potions as well as 'gate' ones?

This would be an interesting addition: bind potions that allow you to bind almost anywhere, if not anywhere. You could bind outside a zone while you are fighting there, then use another gate potion to a location--say to get back to pok. This would be especially useful to non-binding/non-gating classes. Also, melee classes don't have anywhere near the binding possibilities that the self-binding classes do.
