Now that we have a general taste of what we are looking for as a WotLK Shockadin, it is time to choose our Talent build. If you learn to adapt to the new play-style you will start to understand what I am talking about. I always find it hilarious when a rogue or a ret pally is beating on me and they realize “Hey, this consecration is hitting for almost 300 a tick” or “Ouch, I didn’t expect a 5k Holy shock crit” and they either bubble on impulse or start moving away, allowing me to either tend to some of my wounds or chase them down. Either, that or they will start running, and that is what you want.

However, when they realize that your holy shocks are hitting for 2k non-critical and that they are taking a lot of spell hits in a very frequent succession, you will find that you become the center of attention. Because many think that Holy cannot hit for anything, so when they see that you are attacking them instead of healing, they will most likely ignore you entirely, choosing to deal with hardcore damage dealers first. I will go deeper into the strategies later on in the guide. The objective is to become that bothersome fly that is biting harder than your opponent expected. The play-style of the Shockadin has moved away from the up front burst then heal, but focuses on a strategic mesh of damage stacking and keeping your opponent moving. With that change, as well as the explosive Exorcism being removed from PvP and Retribution as a whole becoming more viable, the once mighty Shockadin class died out…wrong! Shockadins merely changed shape.īecause many hang on to that notion of nuking that Shockadins made infamous, many do not realize that the class play-style is much more viable than it ever was before. However, because of its limiting group buffing, as only two classes use holy classed spells (Paladins being the ones that used it offensively), the talent was rolled in the Retribution Aura through the talent Sanctified Retribution, which increases the damage done by Retribution aura and increases damage done by all affected targets by 3%. Then, the real talent that tied everything together was the powerful Sanctity Aura, which boosted all Holy damage by 10%, a significant increase.

This also, hindered the class in the PvE environment because they could not sustain their amazing DPS. Many would be very dependent on group support while they waited for their second wave of assault to come in, usually resorting to healing. Their weakness then was their vulnerability after they unloaded their entire burst because their main damaging spells were on 8-15 sec cool-downs and their combat boosters being on even longer cool-downs. In the Burning Crusade, Shockadins were known for their nuking abilities and being one of the classes that could dish out the largest amount of damage in the shortest amount of time.

This is a guide that I’ve been working on for a while as I played a wrath shockadin and if you all are looking for a fun, skilled- based spec to play, please feel free to read on. Many feel that the Shockadin spec phased out with the Dawn of Wrath of the Lich King, but just like anything else, I can assure you, it never really died but changed and adapted to its environment. Now, I know some smarty pants is going to post that all wise comment of “Shockadin is dead” I want to ask that you all hear me out first. Aurico from the Bleeding Hollow server create a Shockadin guide. For those who thought the Shockadin spec is dead, think again.
