TBC Classic Elemental Shaman Pre-Raid Gear

This is the pre-raid gear we recommend for Elemental Shamans, setting you up to tackle the initial raids of TBC, such as Karazhan. The gear choices in the tables below follow our stat guide priority.

If your character is ready to jump into Phase 5 / Tier 6 content, then see our current best in slot list. If you wish to go through the content of Tiers 4 or 5 instead, then please see their respective lists below.

Some of the gear listed can be expensive to get, or hard in the case of Heroic dungeon gear, so do not be afraid of going straight into raiding at 70, as it should be easy enough to do most of the bosses in questing gear!
