• Rockbiter Weapon
• 9.4% of base mana
• Instant cast
• Imbue the Shaman's weapon with the fury of the earth, increasing all threat generation by 30% and reducing damage taken by 5%. Lasts 60 minutes.

Rockbiter Weapon is a core shaman ability learned at level 75. It adds a 30% threat increase to a shaman's spells and attacks and provides a 5% decrease to all damage taken when a weapon is imbued with it.

• [Unleashed Fury] (talent)
• [Unleash Elements] (core ability; grants [Unleash Earth])

Notes

• This essentially gives the shaman some tanking capabilities. The shaman class still cannot serve as a full-time tank, though if temporary off-tanking is needed they can fill the role in a pinch with this ability.
