Reincarnation

If you're a shaman above lvl 30, PLEASE have ankh's on you.

As a priest, I always carry 3 stacks of sacred candles on me for group fort/spirit buffs. Those cost me 9s each. so, i spend 18s each hour for group buffs, not counting rebuffing after wipes, and the occasional prayer of shadow protection.

Paladins pay for their symbols of kings. Gift of the Wild. Arcane Brilliance.

We don't mind paying for our reagents because it helps out the groups (and we have to cast buffs less often.) You can't help out if you don't have an ankh, though. . If you find yourself running out of ankhs a lot, then buy more than one stack when you shop at the reagent vendor (or die less, hehe). Your group will Love you, though, if they don't have to run alllll the way back to their corpses.

Thanks shammy friends :)

Tip: This is the shaman reincarnation ability, use it wisely as the propper use can be the difference between your group giving up on an instance.

This has an hour long cooldown and rezzes you with minimal Hp and mana, do not use this trivially.

The mats for this cost 15silver, lower levels are advised to use this sparingly

The Ankh costs 20 silver. Of course, that is reduced by reputation.

Use this macro to show cooldown, reagents left, and click to announce to raid or party how long you have left before you can use the spell again. ;) #showtooltip Reincarnation /run local r,t,m,n="Reincarnation","player","",SendChatMessage;local s,d=GetSpellCooldown(r);m=" > "..r.." on "..ceil((d-(GetTime()-s))/60).."min CD!";if s>0 and d>0 then if UnitInRaid(t)then n(m,"RAID")else n(m,"PARTY")end end Updated it and it works with 3.1 just fine, there was a slight syntax typo in the 2.3 version one.

Beware! I live!

There is a totem available in Dire maul after someone in the party has gotten their full tier 0.5 set. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22345 it some times drops off the summoned boss. Since the totem reduces the cooldown by 10 minutes, and totems can be switch mid combat, if your reincarnation is up, and you're going to wipe in a party, quickly equip this totem. this totem plus the talent will make the cooldown 30 minutes. Edit: and with patch 3.3, the CD on reincarnation was reduced to 30 minutes, the talent reduced to minus 15 minutes, and the item I link reduced to 5 minutes, so now you ca

This is why Reincarnation is Awesome.

R.I.P. Warcraft 3-old icon.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned already:

The cooldown is intially 60 minutes, which means that you'd best better be careful when using it. Especially since you only come back with 20% of your HP/mana.

However, the cooldown can be reduced by a grand total of 20 minutes (to 40 minutes). Its a tier 2 talent in the Shammy Restoration tree. Requires 2/2 talents in Improved Reincarnation. Can be very useful for instances/raids.

I don't see why not, since you dont have to cast it on your self to be able to use it.

I strongly recommend any shaman gets this:http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43385

It's only a minor glyph too.

Just a quick question, does this spell cause the whole rez cooldown to activate now?

Well, Ner'zuhl used to be a shaman. Presumably the LK remembered about this spell after kittyrar's trick, and made sure it wouldn't be a problem again.

yup this is mostly used in instances for parties that dont have a lock to get back up from a wipe. just make sure you are away from the mob when you know your group is about to die to make sure you can use this without getting aggro and dieing before you can rez. and the mats might be a little too much for lower levels so if cant afford that much try not too use this as much. 20s each and 18s each if you get a discount for it.

What you said is true for all classes. I love those mages that individually cast AI opposed to Arcane Brilliance. :P I always keep 2 stacks of 5 Anhks on me.

Something I'd like to mention is that on the Lich King encounter in ICC, it's possible to reincarnate after he does the mass killing of the raid before the story thing, and keep dpsing the Lich King. :)

According to the ptr patch notes, the cd on this spell is being taken down from 60 minutes all the way to 30 minutes.

Where can i find the video of a raid-->wipe--> shaman carnates--> finishes off boss?

So, next patch if you have http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=16209, and http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22345 this would have no cooldown?

Reincarnate is separate from the raidwide restrictions on battle rezzes, if that's what you mean.

in 6.0.3 the cooldown is 30min but it's hard to find where it is shown. You can see it in the skill panel, if you don't have the skill on your action bars

I agree, it can be annoying having stacks of reagents in your bags but there is no excuse for turning up for an instance run with not enough reagents. TIP: With the 2.3 patch engineers can now construct vendor bots (a pattern that drops of the little demon mobs in Ogrila who guard the apexis 'pianos') which sell all manner of reagents, well worth investing in for those poorly equipped people who run out or point blank don't have the neccessary reagents.

Not exactly, but it would have been sweet. The 3.3PTR patch notes indicate that Improved Reincarnation will reduce the cooldown of Reincarnation by 7/15 minutes and the PTR version of Totem of Rebirth shows that it now reduces the cooldown of Reincarnation by 5 minutes (from 10 minutes previously). Hence a fully talented and totemed Reincarnation will be at a 10 minute cooldown. However I can't see the totem being of much value compared to what

Ankhs stack up to ten (and have done so for quite some time), which is five hours of non-stop reincarnating. If you've ever forgotten to bring ankhs to an instance, make a habit of carrying two stacks. No group will ever accept "I forgot to buy ankhs" as an excuse. If you really really can't remember, buy a glyph.

I do notice when these were posted, but I feel it should be noted that if you make use of the AH, by lvl 30, 20s is really not that much. Also, the cooldown has been changed to 30 minutes--not 1 hour.

It should be mandatory for anyone who has ever forgotten to buy ankhs. For veteran shamans, the Water Breathing and Water Walking glyphs are a bit more useful as those reagents are harder to come across and don't have any cooldown (so you can burn through reagents faster, assuming you actually use the two.)

Cooldown is for the ability. It only triggers if you use the ability.

I am not sure if this is a glitch or not, but as of 5.2 this spell brings you back to full life and mana in BGs. At first you come back with 20% but then in about 2-3 seconds it brings you to full.

Do the cooldown resset when you resset the boss in raid like BL?

It only works in a raid or party. Unless you alter the code.

i too prefer water walking and/or breathing in instances like serpentine cavern where you can buff the entire raid or for getting away from hard situations in pvp just water walk+ghost wolf (but a DK can allways follow and a druid just get in bird form). another use i found for the water walking is fishing, getting yourself facing the coast instead of being exposed

A blue poster recently mentioned that this is a bug.

Reincarnation is fixed as of patch 4.0.6:

• 
  
• Reincarnation can now correctly be used after Soulstone Resurrection or Rebirth has already been used on the shaman during a boss encounter.
•

So am I reading this right? No more reagent in MoP?

Ankhs now stack up to ten, so there's no reason not to have ten ankhs on you at all times. It might seem a bit much, but this ability is much too valuable for you to even risk not having an ankh on you when you need it.

someone should test this to see if your reincarnate has less than 10min and you equip this if it will finish the cooldown, or just leave it at the old time. still useful for if it is up and you use it, you instantly cut off 10min having the totem equipped when you wipe

Is this broken in patch 2.4? I copied and pasted it exactly, it displays the tooltip and the ankhs left and cooldown, but no amount of clicking it will report anything to the party.

Aahhhh, "Here comes the pain @#$%^" classic, haven't saw that for a while. Have you ever been to a raid like that in LK / CATA ? I doubt.

Yeah it's WRYYYYYYYYYYYYY now.

Is the cooldown triggered if you die and do not Reincarnate?

I had a stack of ankhs that disappeared from my inventory at some point. I am certain I did not sell or move them from my bag, and I only used Reincarnation a few times. I should have had lots of ankhs left but when I died once, I couldn't reincarnate. I checked my bag, and there was an empty slot where the ankhs should have been.

Well, it doesn't matter now. MoP changed Reincarnation to not require Ankhs.

If you're like me and you want the Ankh icon for the Reincarnation timer on your action bar, you can find it by starting near the middle and working your way down. It's quite close to the middle so you can go slightly above to make sure you don't miss it.

I fail to see how 1 shaman can prevent an entire raid wipe when a raid boss has 10-15% HP left. Also, we get reincarnation bumped down to 30 minutes and Warlocks get theirs bumped to 15 minutes? What the raspberries!

Well Shamans have the the Improved Reincarnation talent to reduce the cool down to 15min, which i find amazing, i'm talenting that for my Enhance Shaman, Reincarnation in a BG, throw down wolves and an elemental while you heal, imo after 3.3 Shamans will be the best pvp class 2nd only to paladins, and even they'll have a run for their money

Warlocks don't get a talent that reduces it by 15 minutes. Granted seems like it could be core for shamans and no need to spend the points...of course then they'd have to up the amount of health and mana the soulstoned target comes back to which is also part of the shamans talent that a lock doesn't have access to. Although I can't imagine justifying spending the points on this in an already bloated resto tree with already attractive talents in the neighboring enhancement for spare points.

thats because the base CD for warlock's SS is 15 minutes. lol

I did this last week, but instead of dealing damage to him, he evaded my spells.

I've actually done a reincarnate clutch in 2 separate instances, but both were on mere dungeon bosses, nothing like Rag for sure =) Also not quite as epic is the healer turned dps clutch of a well-timed Nature's Swiftness Chain Lightning, which once saved our Panther attempt in ZG back in the day ; ) Finally, I just love using this in PvP. Nothing beats getting knocked down, then sneaking up behind the would be victor and launching them bodily off a cliff with Thunderstorm. Even better if you can get a Flame Shock on them on the way down. Then they get to writhe in misery while the tickin

this bug has been fixed as I just did a combat reincarnation in BRD
