Hi guys,
Imagine you've played shaman for years, healing, dpsing, you've tried all kinds of playstyle and basically cleaned the majority of wotlk's content.
So, in this hypothetical scenario you decide that you'll try to play a tanking shaman with friends for fun. Let's say ICC 10 with 30% buff
Can you take the hits ? probably. You don't have crazy amounts of HP, but with the right raid you you have enough helpful buffs and self CD to make it out alive.
Can you keep aggro? that's the problem... Can you? You don't have taunts.. Earth shock seems pretty good at generating aggro, but frost shock states it causes high threat, how much threat exactly ?
Should you go for agility mail, or spell mail? On one hand spell will make your shocks more powerful, but on the other hand that will be pretty much the only thing you'll do.
Agility gives you a decent amount of spell via mental dexterity and a little extra armor/dodge, but you're not dual wielding so your melee attacks probably won't pull crazy amounts of threats
What about the weapon buff ? flametongue? frostband? or simply windfury?
Have you ever theorized around offtanking as shammy ? just to see if it is possible, and if you did, what was the most viable way you found ?
