Wait.. Wait.. if you go to the thread for Shamans.. look up Enhance tree.. at level 75.. we get Rock Biter.. and it does what it's supposed to.. (Back in vanilla anyways}.. it basically pisses off a mob...
"Imbue the Shaman's weapon with the fury of the earth, increasing all threat generation by 30% and reducing damage taken by 5%. Lasts 30 minutes.
( Unleash Weapon : Unleashing this enchantment forces the target enemy to attack you for 5 sec. )
8% of base mana, Instant cast"
Unleash it for a taunt..
Can it be.. is Blizz bringing back.. "THE TANKING SHAMAN" or "Tanmmies!"?
I still remember fondly tanking Scholo.. Strat.. Tribute Runes in DM.. back in Vanilla as a Shaman (Rockbiter + Earthshock = tanking goodness)
Now I know why blizz has done this.. Many new bosses require "Special" Attention, and they intend to do this by allowing a few of the dps trees to tank.. But really.. Shaman?
sigh.. give it 2 more years.. we'll finally be able to hit all 3 options on the LFG tool :P
viva Tanmmies!
