How you get it

No trainer level in the client data

The tables we read record no trainer level for Shockwave. That usually means it comes with another ability, a talent or a quest rather than a level-up visit to the trainer; we have not confirmed which in game.

In Season of Discovery, Shockwave was a rune engraved on gear. In Forever it is an ordinary Warrior ability, one of 7 former runes the class keeps.

An “X” in the description is a number the client text does not resolve; the real value is only visible in game.
