[BUG] Shaman Threat
Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2015 6:03 amRockbiter Weapon and Earth Shock are meant to apply additional threat, but do not on Nostalrius.
Earth Shock's threat value in Vanilla should be 2x its damage, while here it is 1x.
Rockbiter Weapon should add a flat amount of threat per swing multiplied by your weapon speed, but does not. Here are the values from KLHThreatMeter's KTM_Data.lua:

While one might be inclined to write off the nonfunctionality of Shaman tanking as a minor issue at best, this has broader implications for Enhancement as a whole, as Rockbiter Weapon can thus be safely used in place of Windfury and actually provide better DPS throughout most of Classic. Earth Shock would also naturally replace Frost Shock as the spell of choice for Enhancement Shaman.
Also, Rockbiter Weapon semi-rarely procs Flametongue for some reason.
