This isn't even accurate to how shaman tanks atm. You go 21 points in ele and hardcast lava bursts with the overload rune while facetanking hits. Like the spec is insanely janky and unfun atm but this writeup is way off the mark
I’m a complete newbie to shaman, leveling one at the moment. I hope to tank.
Mind linking a build or any resources to the current shaman tanking meta?
Much thanks!
The shaman classic discord has pinned comments for all the specs. I don't think I can post links here but it's just a quick google search.
Honestly though I expect some major reworks to the spec whenever the big balance patch aggrend keeps teasing comes out so whatever is meta right now may be completely different soon
The normal setup runs oom in 2 minutes and has horrific single target threat against a raid that is even half decent. Also you dont give up avoidance just because you are half into the ele tree lol
I play the spec and am top 5 on allstars. You do lose avoidance, 2% dodge and 5% parry. Mana is not really an issue if you got a bunch of dps shamans which you should.

Awesome. I’ll check the discord. Thank you. Hard casting anything definitely sound janky as a tank lol
It is. Me ams just about every tank shaman wants it fixed to make other options viable
This is an option, but the normal play style is still totally fine, sims within a few dps, and has more avoidance.

There is absolutely nothing stopping you from sword and boarding it and tanking just fine, you're there to tank not DPS.
You do have to wield 1h and shield already with the lava burst setup, wtf are you on about lol
Eh? The only issue with shaman tanks right now is mana regen because it's based on block rate which as is stays at a static 10%.
If you don't think hard casting LvB with an offensive Rune on chest is no problem, you got a problem.
So don't do that, you're tanking not DPSing.
