Simple Shaman Tank Guide Season of Discovery Phase 2

[@JohnDoe-xt5sg]

Thanks, very helpful!

Ok few things, nice you made a video for this. 1: Water Shield you lose a stack when you are hit yes but you GAIN mana. It's also a free spell. 2: Don't switch Maelstrom for Powersurge. 5% is nothing compared to melee swings. And like you said these are free spells. 3: You can 2h tank with 2h Mastery. The extra 10% spell hit means your taunts won't resist as much and you'll land more Maelstrom Procs.

You don't need other mana runes if your running with a Shield as Shield Mastery recovers mana when you block. This is plenty to keep your mana up and running. Unless your constantly spamming Max abilities like Earth Shock max ? that's a no-no if your tanking just Rank 1 for taunts that's. Max Flame Shock if your healthy with mana = Rank 1 Flame Shock if your not. All there is to it in my eyes. I never ran into mana issues where I was totally at 0 with Shield Mastery up and running blocking and feeding me mana back. On top of that if your Duel Wield Tanking the 3-set mail set bonus (5% chance to recover 100 mana on attack) should also help keeping your mana up even without Shield Mastery so it should be totally fine as Lava Lash is SOOOO cheap in mana cost + Storm Strike is also not too bad on mana cost. Good luck Shamans !

Thanks for the info my alt is a sham and I've been playing him as a dps/tank build so I can switch back and forth and this video helped out for tanking dungeons

OKAY SO I'M CONFUSED HERE I READ WAY OF THE EARTH AND DOES THAT STILL WORK IF YOU'RE NOT USING A SHIELD ? WAY OF THE EARTH AND DO WELL SPECIALIZATION SHARE A RUNE SLOT ? SO HOW CAN YOU TANK WELL DUAL WIELDING ?

Dominos is the addon I use for action bars, there isn't a similar copy and paste type code. At least that I can see, however it is very easy to build. Especially if you like how mine looks and you have a blueprint of what you want it to look like. Sorry I couldn't give you a faster way. If i find one ill replace this message with the profile :)

[@Lethargic_moose]

If you have 2 shamans couldn't one put alpha in you and then you just alpha a healer for 20% more ap on you?

[@Dayreid_]

I don’t believe it stacks like that I think it’s either or

[@lsdap1969]

if your target has a "spirit of the alpha" rune slotted it is not considered a viable target and the interaction doesn't work

[@Lethargic_moose]

@lsdap1969 oh OK... not a shaman player but I've been curious about that since the runes addition.

[@ProjectStarLIGHTS]

Don't alpha a healer.You don't want them having threat.
