Improvements

Talents that can improve the shock:

  • Concussion increases the damage done by Earth Shock by 1/2/3/4/5%.
  • Convection reduces the mana cost of Earth Shock by 2/4/6/8/10%.
  • Reverberation reduces the cooldown of Earth Shock by 0.2/0.4/0.6/0.8/1 seconds.
  • Elemental Focus causes you to enter a Clearcasting state after critting with Earth Shock. The Clearcasting state reduces the mana cost of your next two damage spells by 40%.
  • Elemental Fury increases the Critical Strike damage bonus of Earth Shock by 10/20/30/40/50%.
  • Elemental Precision increases the chance to hit with Earth Shock by 1/2/3% and reduces the threat caused by 10/20/30%.
  • Thundering Strikes increases your critical strike chance of Earth Shock by 1/2/3/4/5%.
  • Shamanistic Focus reduces the mana cost of Earth Shock by 45%.
  • Mental Quickness reduces the mana cost of Earth Shock by 2/4/6%.
  • Earthen Power increases the attack speed reduction of Earth Shock by an additional 5/10%.
  • Storm, Earth and Fire increases range of Earth Shock by 1/3/5 yards.

Notes

  • Prior to patch 2.0.3, Earth Shock generated threat equal to twice its damage. The bonus threat was removed from Earth Shock, while Frost Shock gained bonus threat.
  • If specced into Shamanistic Focus with Clearcasting up, shocks will cost very little.

Patch changes

  • Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): Redesigned. This spell no longer interrupts spell casting, but rather reduces melee attack speed by 10% for 8 seconds (exclusive with similar effects such as Thunder Clap).
