Reincarnation is a shaman ability that allows them to instantly resurrect themselves upon death with 20% of maximum health and mana.

Notes

  • Reincarnation does not count towards the maximum number of combat resurrections.
  • Reincarnation cannot be used while affected by a warlock's [Soulstone]; the Soulstone must be used first.
  • Reincarnation cannot be used in arenas.

Trivia

  • Reincarnate is a common Shaman spell in the Curse of Naxxramas adventure of Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "It's like birth, except you're an adult and you were just dead a second ago."
  • This spell is almost a carbon copy of the Warcraft III spell of the same name. Reincarnation was the ultimate ability for the Tauren Chieftain, which allowed him to come back to life with full health and mana at no cost.
  • As dying resets threat, this is sometimes jokingly referred to as "the shaman aggro dump".
