This item was part of the old [[PvP-Rare]] [[Druid]] set [[Lieutenant Commander's Sanctuary|Lieutenant Commander's Sancutary]] and is no longer available in game. It has been replaced by {{loot|rare|Knight-Lieutenant's Dragonhide Grips}} of the new [[Lieutenant Commander's Refuge]] set. Players who had earned this item can use it with the new set and still gain the set bonus however. There are reports that this ability is currently broken.

==Functionality==
 
−
In addition to its significant direct damage (which is [[instant]] cast and does not reset the shaman's melee attack), frost shock also snares the target. In PvE, it's useful against runners, slowing their retreat if the shock doesn't kill them outright. It can also be used for kiting high level [[mobs]] in certain raid situations ([[Coilfang Strider]]s for example). Against ranged opponents (in PvP, casters and hunters), the shaman can use this power to stay up close to use melee. Against melee classes like warriors and rogues, shamans use this ability to maintain their distance.
 
−  
−
===Limitations===
 
−
*It has 6 seconds cooldown linked to other shocks (global cooldown), which makes all the Shocks unusable for 6 seconds.
 
−
*Can be [[Reflect]]ed by warriors and mages.
 
−
*Causes a lot of [[threat]], as of 2.0.3.

== Improvements ==
 
−

−
* [[Booming Echoes]] reduces the cooldown of both Frost and Flame shocks by an additional 1 or 2 seconds, in addition to increasing damage dealt by both spells by 10 or 20%.
 
−  
−

−  
−

* [[Frozen Power]] gives it a 50% or 100% chance to root the target in Ice for 5 sec, when used on targets at or further than 15 yards away.
 
−  
−
* [[Mental Quickness]] reduces its cost by 2, 4 or 6%.
 
−  
−
* [[Glyph of Frost Shock]] increases its debuff duration by 2 seconds.
 
−  
−
==Tips==
 
−  
−
Previously, Frost Shock was considered the "[[I win button]]" of Shamans, owing to the ability to permanently snare other players, such as in the prior entry:
 
−
:''With a ridiculous combination of high-damage, an instant cast, an eight-second effect, and a six-second cooldown, it would be foolish ''not'' to constantly Frost Shock other players or mobs until a win occurs. Once they are within melee range, drop an [[Earthbind Totem]] against melee mobs/players (or grounding for casters) and hack away for an easy win.''
 
−  
−
* The [[Warlock]] [[curse]] [[Curse of the Elements]] benefits this ability.
 
−  
−
* With both [[Reverberation]] and [[Booming Echoes]], as well as a [[Glyph of Frost Shock]], this spell can reach a 10 Second duration while only having a 3 Second cooldown. This allows one to defeat nearly any effect which breaks it in PVP, as the majority of trinkets and abilities which do so are on relatively long cooldowns. One can also cast [[Flame Shock]] without disrupting the snare, to add additional damage when kiting.
