Shaman End Game Gear
Obviously there are three types of tanking sets to looks at: Elemental, Enhancement, and Restoration.
Each have different stats, but essentially you are looking to reach 12k health and 11k armor as a starting point. More can be gained, at the expense of other abilities.
A full pvp set will work for most players, if they choose good socketing and enchants.

purples are a great starting point, and arena items are just about ...

Shaman Play Strategies
There are four distinct phases to most tanking encounters as a Shaman:
1) The Pull
2) Initial Aggro Build-up
3) Steady Tanking
4) Switching Targets
1) The Pull
SINGLE MOB PULL: On the initial pull, for single mobs, LB or CL is a good choice. You don’t want to
burn your cooldown on Shocks, and while CL is slightly more damage, it is also more mana. This is

WoW Shaman Aggro Mechanics
Keeping threat is essentially the art of keeping the highest “threat” on each target in
combat. Threat is a basic principle of the game that most players need to know about whether they are
healers, DPSers or tanks. Below is a modified guide from the warrior tanking guide on threat:

Why should I play an Enhancement Shaman?
[ 2008-12-08 10:32:48 | Author: Admin ]
Why should I play an Enhancement Shaman?
Short answer: You like playing a melee class but don’t want to be MS Warrior, or Combat Mace Rogue #1422592473261.
Long answer: An Enhancement Shaman not only can bust heads, but make their teammates stronger, dish out a little healing if needed, and has a complex buffing system through totems and procs, amongst other things we’ll cover later on.

Should Shaman use a 2-handed weapon or dual-wield?
[ 2008-12-08 10:32:22 | Author: Admin ]
Should Shaman use a 2-handed weapon or dual-wield?
Dual-wielding is generally accepted to be the better option. Here is why:
- Higher sustained DPS
- Greater spell pushback
- Talents built around dual wielding
- 2 weapon enchants
- More Shamanistic Focus, Flurry, Unleashed Rage, and weapon enchant / imbue procs
- More mana returned from Shamanistic Rage
- Further proof: all of the top ranked Enhancement Shaman dual wield
