    Default What Aura and spells do you use while pally tanking with 4X Shaman?

    I'm leveling my pally ATM and when tanking I'm not sure what aura, seal and castrandom macro I should be using.

    I noticed in the macro section it should be Consecration, Holy Shield, Hammer of Right but if I hook that into my shammies LB macro my pally runs outta mana like water. Granted he has terrible gear ATM and only 3680 mana, but most pally tanks that are geared don't have much more mana.

    Any suggestions cause my pally loses agro alot. Not a huge deal cause my shammies have around the same Armor rating, but that really isn't the point.

    Imp Devotion Aura 99% of the time. Tanking seal is SoV once you have it, SoR until then. Blessing of Sanctuary should be keeping you in mad mana at higher levels, and at lower levels it's rarely an issue.

    Remember that your tank isn't there to do damage, it's there to keep damage from happening to your other members. What level are you at? If it's high enough to have Holy Shield, you should be able to hold aggro without too much effort. You've got Righteous Fury up, right?

    My tank is currently Level 62, and yes I do have holy shield already. Yes I do have Righteous Fury up as well.

    My tank with all buffs gets about 10200 Armor which I know is still low but I know its decent enough to take some hits.

    Usually Retribution Aura when tanking trash and Devotion Aura when tanking bosses, learning new instances, or on a difficult pull. For some bosses you'll be better switching to one of the resistance auras.

    Pull with Avenger's Shield, that should hit most of the mobs in a trash pull, Consecration when they're closer, maybe Holy Shield as well, then Hammer of the Righteous, sometimes I'll use Judgement of Wisdom, but most of the time it's not needed when I have Mana Spring Totems, a Mana Tide every 3 minutes, Inervate and Glyped Water Shields. My Pally never loses aggro to my casters unless something actively causes him to (like gouge from Rogue-type mobs).

    Retribution aura

    Holy shield + Hammer of the Righteous + Consecration (constantly use all three when its up)

    Seal of anything, Blessing of Sanctuary.

    Judge Light for health, Judge wisdom for mana. (since a shaman should be healing you, no need to use judgement of light)

    to make it effective, tank 3+ mobs at once. why? blessing of sanc gives you 4% mana back on parries, blocks, and dodges. you do it with four mobs at once, and you get mana back fast.

    Use hammer of wrath to finish ppl off, or, if you have enough mobs with very little health left, just do another Avenger shield and kill 3 at once. i love that animation. =]
