Hearthstone‘s next expansion will include a legendary weapon for each of the game’s classes, and the Shaman edition is the latest to be unveiled.
While spellcaster spells like Mage and Priest don’t have traditional damage weapons, Shaman has no such restrictions.
Runespear is the most expensive weapon Shaman has ever had, and it combines the physical and spell-based attack of Shaman. The class has always walked that line, and this is a really great manifestation of that.
There’s some insane value potential here, and obviously spells that don’t have targets could be much more useful. Otherwise this ends up as another Yogg-Saron.
