Shaman Rune	Item Slot	Description/Effect
Water Shield	Hands	The caster is surrounded by 3 globes of water, granting 1% of your maximum mana per 5 sec. When a spell, melee or ranged attack hits the caster, 4% of maximum mana is restored to the caster. This expends one water globe. Only one globe will activate every few seconds. Lasts 10 min. Only one Elemental Shield can be active on the Shaman at any one time.
Lava Burst	Hands	You hurl molten lava at the target, dealing (469 / 100 ) to (605 / 100 ) Fire damage. If your Flame Shock is on the target, Lava Burst will deal a critical strike.
Lava Lash	Hands	You charge your off-hand weapon with lava, instantly dealing 100% off-hand Weapon damage. Damage is increased by 20% if your off-hand weapon is enchanted with Flametongue.
Molten Blast	Hands	Blast up to 0 enemies in a cone in front of you for (* 72 / 100 + 5 / 100 * Attack power) to (* 108 / 100 + 5 / 100 * Attack power) Fire damage. This ability generates a high amount of threat. Flame Shock periodic damage has a 10% chance to reset the cooldown on Molten Blast.
Healing Rain	Chest	Selects the area 15 yards around target player, and heals all of target player's party members within that area for (* 15 / 100) every second.

Shield Mastery	Chest	Each time you Block, you regenerate mana equal to 8% of your maximum mana and you gain Armor equal to 30% of your shield's armor value, stacking up to 5 times. You also always gain 10% increased chance to Block and 15% increased Block value.
Dual Wield Specialization	Chest	Increases your chance to hit with both spells and melee attacks by 5% while dual wielding and your Stormstrike ability now hits with both weapons while dual wielding.
Ancestral Guidance	Legs	For the next 10 sec, 25% of your damage is converted to healing on up to 3 nearby party members, and 100% of your healing is converted to damage on your most recent Flame Shock target.
Way of Earth	Legs	While Rockbiter Weapon is active on your main hand weapon, you deal 50% increased threat, gain 30% increased health, take 10% reduced damage, gain 6% reduced chance to be critically hit by melee attacks, and Earth Shock taunts targets to attack you and has a separate cooldown from other Shock spells but has its range reduced to melee range.
Earth Shield	Legs	Protects the target with an earthen shield, reducing casting or channeling time lost when damaged by 30% and causing attacks to heal the shielded target for 100. This effect can only occur once every few seconds. 3 charges. Lasts 10 min. Earth Shield can only be placed on one target at a time and only one Elemental Shield can be active on a target at a time.
Shamanistic Rage	Legs	Reduces all damage you take by 20% and you regenerate mana every second for 15 sec.
