Melee DPS

A highly disruptive melee with strong utility and lots of off-healing, viability varies significantly with tuning. Enhancement Shaman is generally one of those specs that people like to one-trick, especially if your name is Bigdam or Ronnie.

Stat Priority
Versatility > Haste > Mastery: Enhanced Elements > Critical Strike

Versatility is your most important stat for PvP. It increases damage and reduces damage taken, essential for survivability as melee. Haste reduces GCD and increases attack speed, essential for generating Maelstrom Weapon stacks faster. Mastery: Enhanced Elements increases all Fire, Frost, and Nature damage you deal. This amplifies your Stormstrike, Lava Lash, and elemental spells. Critical Strike is lower priority but provides burst potential on key abilities.
