One of shamans best DPS Spell, very effective vs melee classes. U can actually kite them (doesn't go for warriors tho), put an earthbind totem and keep spamming this + searing totem and u'll be fine.

This spell is very good in PVP aswell slowing flag carries/people

Comment by skitzosmeagol

Excellent for kiting when you can get range drop an earthbind.. and bam unload on them... by the time the frostshock wears off your earthbind is slowing them. Great combo excellent for rogues and warriors.

Tips and Tricks: Frost shock is like bread and butter to any shaman that ever lived, the first frostshock spell should always stay in your hotbar or offside bars, because at higher levels it is a low mana spell that can be applied to keep a target slowed indefinately.

Frost shock is helped in the lower elemental and the upper enhancement tree so if you truly enjoy it you should go 10/41/0.

This spell is ORSM rated: 9/10

Comment by Nawkaga

Also the only slowing effect in the damge to have a diminishing returns timer.

Comment by cooespooh

Curiosity question; does anyone else remember (early on in game history) when ALL Shaman shocks created a large amount of threat? I remember when I was first starting there was a select few shamen who could actually TANK when they were enhancement spec, due to the fact that the shocks created so much threat.

Comment by Anenome

I'd like to know just how much extra threat this spell adds.

Comment by Cofra

It's very useful in PVP angainist some rogues and it lasts 8 sec and cooldown is only 6 sec,so you can keep the slowing efect on the rogue upon he dies.

Comment by rebel9884

In 5-mans (pve), this is a widely, but wrongly used spell by inexperienced, new, low-level shaman. (Any good tank serious about learning the craft of tanking knows what i'm talking about.) Very situational and shouldn't be spammed (unless of course you're tank doesn't know what aggro is and you'll probably be tanking anyways unfortunately.) Flame Shock-Earth Shock rotation generally does more dps.

Best used for fleeing mobs (runners) and/or to finish off a mob close to it's death in PVE. Can be used more liberally in PVP of course.

Comment by Abomb

hehehe 8 sec duriation 10 with glyph, 6 sec cooldown 5 with reverberation and just about as much damage as earth sock, EL shamans will be able to kite frost shock/ LB all day in PVP and PVE

FROST SHOCK!

Comment by draygourn

fully talented, how does this compare to casting Lightning Bolt?
lets say, my rotation is :
Flame Shock > LvB > LB > LB or Frost Shock ?

Comment by 8inchunbuffed

FROST SHOOCKKK!

Comment by Valer

I can just about get 6k crits on target dummy, not bad if you spam it every 3 seconds. In pvp that damage means very little though.

Comment by Gendaar

Kite - Shock - Kite - Shock . Repeat until WIN!

Comment by BagraEtch

For Enhancement Sham's, here's a good way to absolutely kill a caster without having them move an inch

/cast Frost Shock
/cast Wind Shear

Tested it with my sham and its awesomeness is valid

Downside: If your Elem, (I know you will most likely never use this one) then it will not cast Wind Shear past 25 yards, nearly cutting your casting distance in half

Comment by Lovestar

When a Shaman has Frozen Power talented, the Root effect triggered by Frost Shock is Frozen Power, ID 63685, and counts as Frozen for Shatter.

If you're setting up an AddOn, don't get it confused with Mage's Freeze, ID 33395.

Comment by WaywardSwagabond

The added threat is very nice in dungeons when you have a bad tank, and there's that one enemy who won't leave the healer alone. Just cast Frost Shock, and even if you don't take all the threat, you still snared em to let your healer gain some distance.
