NotesEdit

Rockbiter Weapon no longer provides a damage increase to weapons; instead it increases threat generation and damage reduction, essentially giving the shaman some tanking capabilities. The shaman class still cannot serve as a full-time tank, though if temporary off-tanking is needed they can fill the role in a pinch with this ability.

TalentsEdit

As of patch 3.0.2 there are no existing Shaman talents to directly support this spell.

Patch changes Edit
