SoD Shaman Tank In-Depth Guide (Races, Rotation, Consumables, Stats, Runes) | Season of Discovery

yo what's going on guys it's your boy Wy I'm just bringing you a quick Shaman tanked in-depth guide about everything when it comes to races abilities what you want to use on certain bosses when it comes to runes and just kind of further information into the builds right now with Shaman tank there's only three races you can play as which is troll orc and Toren each have their special racials or special kind of things to them that make them better than others right now if you're looking for more stamina build more survivability of course you're going to go Toren this brings the ratio of endurance again that gives you the more Health pull and it also has War stomp which is great for AOE poles kind of you know stomp shock everything it basically stuns every Target for 3 seconds so you know you get all the aggro on them pull them towards you you can go orc this has Axe specialization this just gives you a couple more points into using axes so if you are going to go orc it might be better for you to use axes you also get blood Fury which is giving you a damage boost but it's also giving you 50% less chance of healing for 25 seconds so some bosses it might cost you your life it might be useful though trolls the last race these ones bring a great racial called berserking This is increases your attack speed for some time and then the other downside of it is they bring Beast sling there's really nothing right now inside BFD that you can use it for except for one boss maybe but if that it might not even be that useful next we're going to look at what type of runes you want to be running as a shaman tank there's a different variety you're going to want to have way of Earth on it's very easy to obtain in the baronss this one is just going to give you basically turn your abilities such as Earth shock into a taunt for you it also gives you on top of that a 30% more Health pool other things that you'd like to run if you are looking for survivability you would run Shield Mastery and you would throw on a shield this gives you 15% extra block chance without any other bonuses so this might be useful for you right now you're not really getting hit that much or that hard in BFD so I would recommend running dual wield you throw on double Rock biter weapon so you're getting in increased amount of threat but then you would also have to run dual wield specialization on your chest piece rather than Shield Mastery since you're not using a shield when it comes to the hands these are runes that I personally swap on each different boss in BFD so some bosses I'll throw on molten blast just cuz it's kind of the AOE kind of there's more ads and I can hit all of them at once single Target bosses I'll throw on lava lash bosses such as gura I'll throw on lava burst with overload on my chest just so I'm getting that increased chance of proing and I'm also doing more damage cuz the bubble that he has you can't do a lot of melee damage that is a little iffy sometimes because your threat's not going to be as good but you still will hold number one threat no matter what so again the runes are up to you 100% whichever way you like to play the game if you want to go Shield Mastery you want to just try to you know try to do all the new stuff that Shaman has offered in sod you know it's very up to you me personally I'm I like par so I'll go out of my way to try to find the best runes to throw on for each boss very quickly just something thorough that we go over doesn't have to be crazy right now is a stat priority for Shaman tanks you do want stamina but it's not something that you're going out to get right away it's not something you need like I said bosses aren't hitting that hard so it's not really worth so right now you really want to focus on agility into strength and then into stamina these three are just you know boosting your threat up boosting your damage you're doing so you're not just tanking you're also you know popping off when it comes to dpsing so you can help carry through the raid then you kind of want to get into intellect that's just going to give you that mana and then armor and hit rating those right now you don't really get a lot of armor rating just cuz we are on the 25 bracket there's not so many pieces that you can get for high armor rating and then again with hit rating all we really have right now is the BFD Boon and then on top of that is the Epic gear that you're getting from your professions that's giving you a little bit of hit so those just quick little things about the stat priority and what you want to look for in a shaman tank I just want to get into the quick rotation when you do pull a boss you want to pop flame shock right off the bat and then cast molten blast because with flame shock up there's a 10% chance that this resets the coold down of molten blast so you can keep pressing molten blast keep generating more threat as you also go in if you don't have another Shaman in your group you want to be dropping the right totems right now strength of Earth totem and fire Nova totem seem to be the only two because your Mana Pool isn't crazy high so with dropping totems like on repeat such as fire NOA totem it's kind of not worth it because you're just oom and then if someone rips thread off you or if someone accidentally taunt you have a pet taunt it's very hard to get back when it comes to strength of Earth totem that stays up for 2 minutes so you drop it most bosses are lasting 30 seconds to I would say 45 seconds maybe longer on such as cus it might last a minute 30 you can also apply Frost Shock if all the targets have flame shock on them and if you have enough Mana where you can throw in lightning Shields again that's just increasing your threat increasing everything for you survivability wise if you do have the extra Mana to spend I would say throwing on Lightning Shield throwing in Frost shocks or if you just keep getting procs of molten blast just keep throwing mol blast out there as I said with the runes this rotation is situational so so if you are Rune swapping you might not be running molten blast you might be running lava lash lava burst you might you know different things that are good for different bosses so just be on the lookout for that but you're still going to be flame shocking you're still going to be dropping the same totems so you're still going to be looking out for those things but your Rune is the biggest thing on if you're casting molten blast lava lash lava burst and then finally I kind of want to just get into professions and maybe some consumables for the shaman tank right now there's not really professions that are worth going out and getting that are going to increase your threat besides maybe engineering for the heavy Dynamite but that's for AOE damage a lot of these are just single tank bosses they're just you know tank and spank there's nothing that you need to throw down an AOE maybe LG is jet with those ads but if you're running molten blast you're already AOE damaging so professions are completely up to you at this point uh I would say run leather working you do get the gloves from leather working that give you that hit percentage and also you know increase your attack speed for certain duration when you pop them and then finally down into consumables great consumables for tanks right now strong trolls blood potion you know the health regeneration this is just giving you that throughout the whole raid if you run elixir of defense armor reduces all damage out to you by boss melee attacks and that also is stacking with a couple of your runes with way of Earth because it's based on some armor you can run elixir are Firepower and cuz a lot of your abilities right now are Firepower based which is like lava burst you know molten blast flame shock those are all fire abilities so if you run elixir of Firepower you'll have more standardized based threat when you're tanking other big things elixir of lesser agility again agility is our number one stat pry right now so the more Aggy we have the better it is for you other things you can run against situational free action potions invaluable against bosses and enemies that have stuns if you pop it at the beginning of lady you won't get Frozen arrowed you could just stand in her pool and tank it cus Phase 2 you won't get chains on you if you pop it right there other good things would be like Shadow protection pots those are really solid right now if you pop that before Kellis you take less damage going into AA you take less damage and then finally for the last thing of the video we are going to get into the talent tree for Shaman tanks you're going to want to go into right into the enhancement tree you're going to go five out of five Shield Shield specialization increases your chance to block attacks with the shield by 5% and increases the amount blocked by 25% again this is up to you because if you are running a shield I would say it's worth it if not if you're dual wielding ancestral knowledge might be better increases your maximum Mana by 5% so if you run it up to 5% Mana or if you want 5% Shield Block it's it's totally up to you going down you want thundering strikes improves your chance to Critical Strike with your weapon by 5% % so again if you're dual wielding you have a double chance you know you're critting critting critting just getting all that threat you're you know you're just pumping out DPS if you are running a one-hander and a shield this is also very very good you have Rock biter in your weapon you're critting so it's the same type of aspect you're going to go five out of five anticipation increases your chance to dodge by an additional 5% you want to be able to dodge you want to be able to Parry you're tanking the less damage you take the better your raid's going to go because your healers are going to be not as oom and they're not going to have to worry about just healing you when other people might be taking damage and then finally since you do get 16 points we're just going to go one into flurry increases your attack speed by 10% for the next three swings after dealing a crit strike this works very well with having thundering strikes five out of five because the more you crit the more flurry procs you get just the faster you're swinging and the more threat output you have the better it is for you to be tanking any boss well guys that was the in-depth quick little video I didn't want to make it long and stretched out like some but this is just a quick in-depth
