SHAMAN SPEC/GUIDE/BIS CLASSIC SEASON OF DISCOVERY - PHASE 1 LVL 25

welcome back to another season of Discovery class guide this marks the last episode of the series we covered all classes if you want to see any other of them there's going to be a link in the description with a playlist today we're covering the shaman one of the anticipated classes of uh season of Discovery top three with Druid and Paladin obviously those were the underdogs and classic the ones that uh weren't able to be fully played just like a DPS class now it's going to be available to play them uh in many ways uh many specs today we're going to cover four specs for the shamans uh tanking enhancement restoration and Elemental which all of them are going to be viable thanks to the new runes I've put together some B lists for level 25 Talent specs and runes make sure you check the time stamps in the description down below to check your favorite spec with that being said let's get into the first spec for today which is going to be enhancment let's start with the helm slot hur's Helm from hills R foot hills you're going to farm a bit for this but it's going to be the best in slot slot a hide tide choker from BFD 10 men awesome necklace this is probably going to be best in slot all the way to level 40 probably or somewhere around there a robust shoulder of agility I would probably recommend something of uh the monkey if you can get that would be six six stats if not the mantle of Thieves that would do great Cape of the Brotherhood with a three agility enchant go to deadmines and get the def armor really good stats strength agility and lots of stamina binding of sakis six strength three stamina in terms of weapons um there's going to be a lot of options this Windstorm Hammer is going to be available from a quest out in the world I would assume that the quest would be available to be done such as this one but this one requires you to go to Scarlet Monastery if this one is not able to complete the quest just go for um one of the other weapons there are a lot of options for Shaman weapons I wouldn't worry too much about it void touch leather gloves I would go for leather working and engineering as a shaman it gives you agility stamina 1% chance to hit but descending to Madness increasing attack speed by 10% as well as increasing the threat you generate for 10 seconds I think this is going to be good for tanking as well but Le working will have a better items probably at level 40 and 50 and even 60 dekin belt it's a belt from a quest in Ashen Vil uh four agility three stamina and 12 attack power I think it's going to give the most power from uh this belt leggings of the Fang into F of flings if you can find F of flinks don't worry too much there's also warung boots from a quest in Ashen Vil too they're pretty good actually they might be even better for PVP Thunder BR ring into Silver Lane family seal if you cannot get the Thunder broing which is a Boe just get the Seal of Sylvanas from Shadow fan keep Quest the void Pearl and attack power and uh get yourself your hands on an arena Grand Master if you can for the talents would choose the enhancement and instead of ancestral knowledge which gives you 1% maximum Mana I decided to go for a shield spec as you never know as a shaman when you're forced to equip a shield and maybe do a bit of tanking or just try to stay alive um the 1% Mana 5% from five Talent points doesn't really give you a lot especially at this level it's not going to make a huge difference so I went for shield spec as you might be able to swap your runes and then even tank and do enhancement as well thundering strikes five out of five five Critical Strike rating no brainer we have the improved ghost wolf as you don't have a mount at level 25 it's quite great and then one point into lightning Shield followed by enhancing totems I'm not sure exactly how much the strength of Earth and Grace of air totems give at this level but uh 15% judging by the fact that they will scale with The Blessing of Kings or aspect of the lion or the new Horn of lordon I'm not sure if you can have both of them but I think this is going to be good for um party and raid benefit and flurry increases your attack speed by 10% after uh for your next three swings after dealing a Critical Strike which I think is going to be really good this is the talents that I went for and for runes we went straight for dual wield spec increases your chance to heat with both spells and melee attacks by 5% while dual wielding and your storm strike ability now hits with both weapons while dual wielding not GNA have storm strike at this level I think you're can to get it at 40 but 5% chance to hit is quite great second Rune will be obviously shamanistic rage reduces all damage You Take by 20% and you regenerate Mana every second for 15 seconds Mana regenerated per second it's equal to 15% of your attack power 10% of your spell power or 6% of your healing power which value is is the greatest shamanistic rage moving into lava lash lava lash is an ability that uh you charge your offand with lava instantly dealing 100% off weapon damage damage is increased by 20% if your offand weapon is uh enchanted with flame Tong that's why you want to have like a slow weapon in the off hand you want to try to find two strong weapons two slow weapons so this seems to be like a micro version of a TBC Shaman don't think enhancement Shaman gets the most at level 25 I think Enhancement Shaman is going to perform way better at the 40 cap as he will be able to get more uh spells and obviously more talents that are going to benefit him tremendously one thing I wish blizzard did with shamans was focusing them more on towards a two-handed weapon spec rather than a dual wield but maybe we get to see that at higher levels or maybe at level 60 definitely even this spec the enhancement it will benefit more at level 40 with weapon weon Mastery with storm strike let's move now to the tanking Shaman the tanking Shaman in terms of gear is not going to be much more different brighte goggles nine stamina nine Spirit uh if you can get your hands on a humed helmet it's going to give you agility more defense a necklace of the bear at level 25 four stamina four strength Rob shoulders of the monkey at level 25 six agility six stamina Cape of the Brotherhood def armor 11 stamina bindings of sakis uh here with five stamina enchant we're going to go for the new weapon from BFD it has a two speed with some decent stats lots of damage per second 19.2 Commander crests from Shadow fan keep there are an multitude of shields including one from BFD but this one I thought it would be easier to acquire it has stamina and strength I think is going to be pretty good same thing with the void touch leather gloves giving you some extra threat while you use the coold Downs that's pretty cool for a tank defin belt the attack power is kind of uh really needed to hold aggro leggings of the Fang strength agility and stamina warung boots with five stamina seal of Sylvanas from Shadow fan keep Silver Lane family seal from Shadow fan keep so you can farm that a bit for the shield you can Farm it for uh the Rings as well and then Avengers void Pearl and Arena grandm the talents are pretty much straightforward for me I went for five out of five Shield spec into thundering strike 5% crit into anticipation which increases a chance to get an additional Dodge by 5% but if you feel like getting two points into improve ghost wol just go for it take two from here 5% Dodge with Shield spec with 5% crit and with flurry which gives you 10% attack speed for the next three swings simple and you don't really have a lot of options in terms of uh runes we go for shield Mastery each time you block you generate Mana equal to 4% of your maximum mana and you g gain armor equal to 30% of your Shield Shield armor value stacking up to five times you also gain 10% increase chance to block and 15% increased block value which makes the shaman uh rather viable to tank at this level way of Earth it's the second Rune that we're going to use while Rock biter weapon is active on your main hand weapon you deal 100% increased threat and gain 30% increased Health take 10% reduced damage gain 6% increase chance reduce chance to be critically hit by m attacks and earthshock taunts the target to attack you has a separate cool down from other shock spells but it has reduced melee range so this way of the earth is a must have it's quite complicated you deal 100% increased thre Earth shock becomes a taunt um Health increased this makes you like way more viable and last but not least we have the molten blast which blast the enemies in a cone in front of you for 39 to 54 fire damage this ability generates highest amount of threat flame shock periodic damage has a 10% chance to reset the cool down on molten blast here we have the tanking Shaman it doesn't seem to be in my opinion as strong as the warrior the Druid or even the Warlock so far from what I've seen I think the shaman is going to be the least least important tank the least strong one especially at low but you were Lether right maybe at higher levels we're going to see something else maybe at level 60 there going to be sets designed for him however it is way better than it used to be in the past Shaman barely were able to tank at any given times but now they have a dedicated tanking spec now let's move to the elemental spec on the elemental spec we're going to focus gearing on spell power and intellect uh spell power goggles Extreme 21 spell power into spectral necklace of the eagle if you can find one of intellect that would work too magician mantle flowing scarf Robes of arugal we need stats a lot of stats mind trust bracers but if you cannot find those just get something with um of the eagle probably I'm on intellect or even of the intellect evocator blade into balt buckler which has a lot of intellect as well really wish we could find some spell power weapons early on try to apply wizard oils and stuff like that Shaman is going to need a lot of spell power the void touched L gauntlets which improve your chance to heat with spells by 1% but also descending into madness increasing spell damage by 10% uh last time I read for some reason spell power but it's spell damage by 10% so so it scills good at low levels as well belt of origal if not there's the one from um oh it can be Wars on sash if you really wanted nine stamina four intellect or the ones from BFD which I cannot read the name silver tread pants wish there were better pants at this level but we yet don't know all the available loot for level 25 spider silk Boots the Warson Gul ring if you cannot find this obviously if it's hard to acquire if it requires like a lot of reputation assuming they don't change the way you get them try to get something else like uh eight spell power for the invoker Pearl and Rune of perfection which decreases the magical resistance of your spell Target in terms of talents here we have convection which reduces the Mana cost of your shock lightning bolt and chain lightning spells by 10% 10% is a lot for a shaman so I went for five out of five into concussion increases the Damage Done by your lightning bolt chain lighting and shock spells by 5% we had an option here to increase the Damage Done by your fire totems kind of wanted to take it but I decided to go for a Mana reduction as I'm not sure exactly how shamans are going to perform with Mana I know we have some new runes but I'm not sure if they're going to be enough if you going not not going to have problems with Mana you can drop a couple of points from convection and get probably call of flame three out of three Call of Thunder increases the Critical Strike chance of your lightning and Chine lightning spells by 6% and also Elemental Focus which clears casting uh spell which gives you a 10% chance to reduce the Mana cost of your next spell by 100% really good spec at this level you get a lot of benefits moving into the runes the first Rune that we have here is overload which gives your lightning bolt Chine lightning chain heal healing wave and lava burst Spells at 33% chance to cast a second similar spell on the same Target at no additional cost that causes half of the damage or healing and no threat it's going to proc quite often I have to math on the damage but it's going to be a huge damage boost second um we're going to have shamanistic rage reduces all damage You Take by 20% and you regenerate Mana every second for 50 seconds Mana regenerate per second is equal to 15% of your attack power 10% of your spell power or 6% of your healing power lava burst is the last one which you hurl a molten lava at the Target dealing 198 to 20 56 fire damage if your flame shock it's on the target lava burst will deal a Critical Strike this is insane this does more than the warlock's chaos bolt at this level or well if you have lava burst in it will it will deal a Critical Strike this is going to be really bursty the shaman is already bursty with his combos with chain lightning imagine a lava burst into a chain lightning I think elemental shaman is going to be fun to play imagine like in Warson gge overload with lava burst and with chain Lightnings especially if you take the damage buff oh my God this is something to look forward to now let's move to the restoration spec for rest of the gear is going to be pretty similar spell Power extreme necklace of the intellect magician's mantle there's a cloak from warung as well we're going to see how we can obtain them black velvet robes a Boe 12 intellect five stamina but go go for Robes of argal if you can head hunters BS of the eagle staff of the blast SE another Boe 24 healing power through fate gloves here we have them um with 15 healing spells Bel of oral 10 intellect silver tread pens extra planner spider Sil boots now it's going to be a tough choice between lettera working and tailoring I think for Resto and healing tailoring might be better at level 25 but we cannot say the same about level 40 so we don't know what we're going to get visor ring a chromite ring of the eagle and the void Pearl healing trinket with the arena grandmas when it come to talents I went for five out of five improved healing wave so you can reduce the casting time of healing Wave by 4.5 seconds at two points into the reduce Mana cost of your healing spells 2% ancestral healing which increases your target armor value by 20 25% for 15 seconds after getting a critical effect on one of the of your healing spells healing Focus gives you a 75% chance to avoid Interruption caused by damage while casting any spell effect and the radius of your totems it's increased to 30 yards I wanted to go for healing Grace which reduces the threat generated by your healing spells but I don't think this is going to be the case I don't think you're going to need it at the lower levels tile Focus 2% of uh Mana pretty simple talent build moving into the runes Healing Rain selects the area 15 yards around the target player and heals all of targets players party members within that area for 20 seconds seems like we have another AOE spells which will make probably Shaman combine Healing Rain with chain lightning this is going to be really really a lot of healing maybe we will need healing race after all to get that threat down Earth Shield protects the target with an earth and shield reducing um cast casting or channeling time lost when damage by 30% and causing attacks to heal the shield for about 100 100 is a lot at this level at 25 this effect can occur only once every few seconds three charges last 10 minutes Earth Shield can be placed on the one target at a time and only one elemental Shield can be active on the target at the same time I would go here for Earth Shield as shamanistic rage is a viable option too but we don't know exactly how much 6% of your healing power is I don't think we're going to get a lot of Mana back from this we can test both of them see how they work but I think Earth Shield is a great one especially for tank makes it more unique uh from a healing perspective and for the last Rune we have the Water Shield the Caster is surrounded by three Globes of water granting 1% of your maximum Mana per 5 Seconds when a spell melee or range attack hits the Caster 4% of Maximum Mana is restored to the Caster this expends on water globe only one Globe I mean the wanted to say globe will be activated every few seconds last 10 minutes only one elemental Shield can be active on the shaman at any time there we have we have a bit of Mana regeneration back especially more if you take damage the rest of spec looks really good I think I underestimated the shamans when I saw the other classes while they are capable on healing but probably with the new Healing Rain and with the chain Lightnings and with the Shields and with the ability to get some Mana back maybe shamans will be after all top of the healing meters I think the shaman overall has a huge potential for classic season of Discovery I think it's going to do great in PV and in PV as well let me know what you think about the shaman in the comments down below what spec are you going to play if you plan to play a shaman or what classes you
