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.
Stamina Enchants ]]> ]]> Mon, 08 Dec 2008 10:34:40 +0800 The most important stats for a Shaman tanking are Armor and Stamina. This is followed by Dodge,
Defense, Parry, INT (for mana) and mp/5 (for mana). For resto tanks, +heal is also very important.
As you level, try to get the maximum armor and stamina that you can. The Battleground blues and
purples are a great starting point, and arena items are just about ]]> ]]> Mon, 08 Dec 2008 10:34:06 +0800 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

abilities worth gaining, which we’ll review here first, before offering specs:

Restoration:
Uninteruptable spells, resistance to silence, a powerful passive aggro generator, and an emergency
threat generator are all features of this talent tree. It is still the weakest of all trees for

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:

Threat
Threat should not be looked at as an arcane, mysterious entity that can not be understood or put into

Alliance

Draenei.
Gift of the Naaru - Activate to heal your target for 35 + 15 per Level over 15 sec - 40 yd range - 1.5 sec cast. At level 1 it heals 50 health, and 1085 at level 70. 3 minute cooldown.

This spell gains 100% of any +healing or +damage from the gear that the caster has equipped. Fairly underwhelming ]]> ]]> Mon, 08 Dec 2008 10:32:48 +0800 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.
]]> ]]> Mon, 08 Dec 2008 10:32:22 +0800 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

You have a couple solid options here. The most common option looks like this:

There’s a little flexibility in some points, which will be covered. Keep in mind your team make up and philosophy while you make your build. A talent like enhancing totems or improved weapon totems could be a good idea if you run melee heavy.
]]> ]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 15:31:40 +0800 There are a few other spells that are a Paladins defining attributes after the auras, blessings and seals.

Divine Shield (Bubble)
-Makes the Paladin immune to all melee and magical attacks and removes (almost) all detrimental effects on the Paladin for 12 seconds. 5 minute cooldown (can be decreased to 4 minutes with talents).
