• Rockbiter Weapon
• 9.4% of base mana
• Instant cast
• Imbue the Shaman's weapon with the fury of the earth, increasing all threat generation by 30% and reducing damage taken by 5%. Lasts 60 minutes.

Rockbiter Weapon is a core shaman ability learned at level 75. It adds a 30% threat increase to a shaman's spells and attacks and provides a 5% decrease to all damage taken when a weapon is imbued with it.

Notes

• This essentially gives 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.

Patch changes

• / Patch 4.0.1 (12-Oct-2010): Level requirement increased to 75, Rockbiter Weapon now increases threat generation by 30% and reduces damage taken by 5%. 
  
• / Patch 3.0.2 (14-Oct-2008): Rockbiter ranks 5 through 9 have been removed. Windfury Weapon is intended to replace Rockbiter at level 30.
