Intro
: Can Shamans tank? The short and to the point answer is, yes. You might be rubbing your eyes in disbelief of this answer. Maybe conjuring a ten page manifesto about how only warriors can and should tank. Although, I can go on a long rant about how there are many other classes that can tank, today, I’ll be focusing on our totemic friend, the shaman.
Caperfin's
Shaman Tank
The topic of viable and optimal is contentious as some don’t see the difference or mix them up and levy a misguided philosophy onto it. Optimal is the most efficient and foolproof solution that eliminates as many negative variables as possible and favors an easier path. Viable or often referred to as: possible, seen as the more challenging path but to many is a greater personal triumph. Shaman Tank is labelled as viable.
Many Shaman tanks agree their motivation is from the glory of seizing a feat the rest of the realm dares not try. If this resonates with you, please continue reading. You shaman tank if you want a challenge and a refreshing perspective from a 15 year old game. If it wasn’t obvious before, shield bearing is a sizable undertaking.
When experienced players Shaman tank and put in the effort, it shines tenfold. Shamans can fully tank 5mans, 10mans, off-tank & main-tank raids. But, this is reliant on personal and guild experience. Our overall defensive statistics won't reach a warrior’s. However, it isn’t necessary to do so, to tank.

Tank Races - Video Explanation
You’ll be staring at your character for a long time. So, consider your character’s appearance as a key factor as it may entice you to play more. All races have benefits but they’re minor compared to other aspects. There is no wrong race. See

to learn more about race options.

Professions - Youtube
Engineering for:
地精工兵炸药
,
高级活动假人
,
力反馈盾牌
,
侏儒作战小鸡
, etc... It also helps if party engineers use Gnomish Battle Chicken since
作战鸣叫
stacks to 25%. As a second profession, pick an easy or high gold generating one, this helps you buy powerful potions.
Video:
Tank Threat
We can increase threat in many ways, notably:
,
风暴打击
,
&
. Install a threat tracking addon, ex: ThreatClassic2. Consumable items deal threat, ex:
特效活力药水
based on half of the Health & Mana gained. Damage items, ex: Goblin Sapper Charge deals threat equal to the damage so do reflective Buffs, ex:
. Lastly, certain items ex: Gift of Arthas deal threat each time their Debuff is triggered, (see
Threat List
).
Video:
Ally Threat
Allies can reduce their threat, through items, ex:
沙漠掠夺者塑像
. Mage have:
. Shaman:
. Rogue and Hunter wipe threat with
&
假死
and so can
化石药水
. Items prevent aggro:
有限无敌药水
& redirect aggro Masterwork Target Dummy (taunts the mob). Classes in the 30-40 yard range won’t get aggro t'ill they surpass the threat level of the mob’s current target by 30%, as opposed to 10% for melee classes. (

Totems - Youtube
Totems can't deal threat for you. Common totems:
,
&
. AoE Tanking:
followed by Fire Nova Totem. To learn more, watch the

Tank Talents
The optimal talent setup for a Shaman Tank: (
16/35/0
), it has steady threat per second for raids & excels on short fights.
Video:
Rotations
1. PrePull: Cast Lightning Shield. Get all Buffs the group can supply. Cast Rockbiter Weapon. Place: Stoneskin Totem, Grace of Air Totem & Healing Stream Totem. Mark the mobs in front of you by right-clicking their portrait, pick Raid Target Icon, choose from either a Skull = kill first, a red X = kill second, a blue square = Hunter trap and a moon = Polymorph.
2. Pulling: Cast
, followed by as many
possible to trigger,
. Lastly,
.
3. Combat: For raids, use
纳特·帕格的卷尺
to assure the first few Earth Shocks hit. In a fight, use relevant ranks of Earth Shock that suits your mana & threat. Stormstrike can’t be downranked but is also used in similar cases. If
expires, cast it. If you suddenly might die, equip a defensive weapon, ex:
碎脊者
w/
敏捷
&
, use Masterwork Target Dummy (taunts boss), use
魂能之遁
, possibly Major Healthstone & Major Rejuvenation Potion (see
Video
).
Video:
Tank Buffs - Youtube
There's a max of 32 Buffs, avoid nearing the max as it may result in Buffs getting mistakenly removed, the addon: Buff Cap Tracker helps. (here's a detailed
List of Buffs
). Prioritize getting defensive Buffs, ex: Elixir of Fortitude before Threat Buffs, ex: Juju Might.
Video:
Debuffs
A max of 16 Debuffs can be on a mob. Reaching the max is major in raids. There's defensive Debuffs:
& threat Debuffs:
among others. With the raid leader’s consent, suggest ideal Debuffs without overstepping. We can apply Gift of Arthas & Stormstrike.
Video:
Gear - Youtube
Solidify defensive stats when gearing, threat is secondary. It’s advised to have 4k HP & 5k Armor unbuffed for Molten Core. Blackwing Lair, ~4800 to 5k HP and 6500-7k Armor. For reliable threat, 2% melee Hit is advised for dungeons. For Raid tanking, 4% Melee Hit. See the
Gear List
. You can't equip gear in combat, except for a weapon & shield, enabling the equipping of a defensive weapon, ex: Spineshatter, if survival seems grim. To learn more, see the
Video
.
Video:
Enchants
There are two types of enchants, defensive, ex:
超强敏捷
. And offensive, ex:
威胁
. See the extensive List of
Enchants
.
Video:
AoE Threat
Many actions can further solidify AoE cases, ex:
献祭之油
,
力反馈盾牌
, Thorns, etc... It’s crucial to switch and attack another target ever so often. (see a detailed
Threat List
) In combat, items & spells giving health or mana deal 50% threat divided by each mob. Items also help until a decent amount of threat is gained on all mobs, ex: Masterwork Target Dummy.
Video:
Group Comp
With the raid leader’s consent, offer an ideal raid comp without overstepping. In our group, Warlock:
, Warrior:
, Shadow Priest:
吸血鬼的拥抱
, Resto Shaman: Mana Tide Totem. To learn more, see the
Group/Raid Comp List
. For damage dealing classes, we prefer ranged classes over melee. If melee are needed, rogues are best.

The default Wowhead color scheme renders this as light gray text on a dark gray background, which is terribly difficult to read.

Hey, I've just started gearing up my shaman tank( currently in the preraid phase of gearing). I noticed your spreadsheet did not have beaststalker's binding, at least as far as I can tell, these should be rated pretty high as far as tank and threat points go due to only being stam + agility. Appreciate all the hard work you've done on this! It's definitely made doing this easier!

Having trouble deciphering which gear I should be targeting. For example, your Phase 2 No PvP set that links to sixtyupgrades lists Helmet of Ten Storms, but that helmet is completely absent from the gear spreadsheet as far as I can tell, so I have no idea where it stands against other gear. According to the helms listed by tank points on the spreadsheet, I should instead be going for Crown of Destruction. In fact, when you look ahead to the P3 sixtyupgrades link, it lists Crown of Destruction again, even though both are available in P2.
Another example: for necks, the same sixtyupgrades link lists Eshkandar's Collar while the neck pieces on the spreadsheet lists Medallion of Steadfast Might higher on the list both by tank points and by value points. The only ranking where Eshkandar's Collar outweighs Steadfast Might in on threat points, but your guide specifically says that the sixtyupgrades link refers to defensive capabilities, which just leads to even more confusion. This is just looking at the first two slots of gear. I'm confused by the inconsistencies among the multitude of gear sets linked compared to the original spreadsheet and don't know where to look to find the optimal items that I should asking my guild to offspec roll on.
One more for good measure: Timeworn Mace is listed in the P3 sixtyupgrades link, but the P2 link lists Core Hound Tooth. Why does Timeworn Mace outrank Core Hound Tooth in P3, when both are available in P2 and P3? Those links seem to disagree with each other and the spreadsheet quite a bit and I question their validity, especially compared to the hard numbers of the spreadsheet.
Also, I'm not sure if it's bugged, but other than the Helm tab, the Enchants spreadsheet appears to be almost entirely empty. I have been wondering about the statistical trade-off of +15 agility vs. Crusader on main hand weapon, but unfortunately, the guide doesn't seem to provide any elucidation on the topic.

your guide seems tailored for max lvl?
can a shaman effectively lvl from 1-60 as a tank using this guide? or is this strictly lvl 60 tanking only?
thanks in advance for your answer.

No discussion on the +5axe skill in orc race section? That is a huge buff to threat gen on raid bosses by reducing glancing blows and increasing hit chance

I'd like to know more about the role of Frost Shock in Shaman tanking. It has the same spell damage scaling coefficient as Earth Shock as well as a similar damage range, but its cooldown is 1 second shorter, rendering it the superior offensive ability
(101.2 DPS versus 88.5 DPS on average )
. Furthermore, the spell also benefits from
黑暗深渊的祝福
(+15 Frost Spell Damage),
冰霜之力药剂
,
元素诅咒
and
深冬之寒
. If mitigation is no problem, +20 Frost Spell Damage on gloves could also be considered instead of +15 Agility. Knowing this, could the Shaman possibly just alternate between Frost & Earth Shock for similar threat output, but greater damage?
