Summary
In a GameSpot interview, senior game designer Josh Greenfield said of Season of Discovery-style role swaps: 'Warlock tank, Shaman tank, not quite yet, but never say never.' GameSpot adds that Shaman tanking in the beta is much as it was in original WoW - on the cusp of viable but held back by the lack of a true taunt and better mitigation. This qualifies earlier Warcraft Tavern claims that the Rockbiter Weapon rework makes Shaman a full tank.
