Stat Priority
Stat Breakdown
Skill Capped recommends the following stat priority for Enhancement Shaman PvP:
Agility is our most important stat by far, having a downstream effect on all of our throughput.
We will then want to reach the 3% Hit cap and at least the 3% Expertise soft-cap. We don't have to stress too much about Expertise since a lot of our damage is magical.
Then we will prioritize Mastery as a secondary stat. This gives us a flat damage increase to our spells - which is where a huge chunk of our damage comes from.
We will then want Haste whenever possible. This is a quality of life stat as Shaman.
Finally, we have Crit, which is our least important stat and should be avoided whenever possible.
Best in Slot Gear
Wear all 5 pieces of the Gladiator Linked armor. Use Maces as Dwarf or Axes as Orc for the racial expertise bonus.
Weapons
Enchants
Apply these enchants to maximize your Agility and Mastery. Use Dancing Steel on main hand and Weapon Chain on off-hand against disarm teams.
| Slot | Enchant | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Shoulders | Greater Tiger Claw Inscription | +200 Agility, +100 Critical Strike |
| Back | Enchant Cloak - Superior Critical Strike | +180 Critical Strike (unless Tailoring) |
| Chest | Enchant Chest - Glorious Stats | +80 All Stats |
| Wrists | Enchant Bracer - Greater Agility | +180 Agility |
| Hands | Enchant Gloves - Superior Mastery | +170 Mastery |
| Legs | Shadowleather Leg Armor | +285 Agility, +165 Critical Strike |
| Feet | Enchant Boots - Blurred Speed | +140 Agility, Minor Speed Increase |
| Weapon | Enchant Weapon - Dancing Steel | Proc +1650 Agility - always on main hand |
| Off Hand | Living Steel Weapon Chain | Reduces disarm duration - use vs Warriors/Monks. Later in season, buy a third weapon for double Dancing Steel. |
Gems
Match each socket for maximum Agility. Use Delicate in red, Adept in yellow, and Assassin in blue. The Agile Primal Diamond is default, or use Powerful for stun reduction as Orc.
