WoW Shadowlands: The Animaboni for shamans from Torghast at a glance

Torghast, the Tower of the Damned, is one of the central end-game features of WoW: Shadowlands. If you want to survive in it, you have to prepare properly. That's where the so-called Animaboni come into play: We can find various anima cells in Torghast, through which we can unlock and use class-specific advantages in addition to general bonuses. We have the option of activating various bonuses simultaneously and stacking their effects.

Blizzard has in the alpha of WoW (buy now 14,99 € ): Shadowlands already implemented various of these bonuses for individual classes. In this article, we will introduce you to the anima bonuses for shamans (via Vanion). Keep in mind, however, that this is the status of the current alpha version - so the bonuses may change quite a bit before the release of Shadowlands.
