Enhancement Shaman Pre-Raid Totem Twisting Best in Slot (BiS) List

The objective of this build is to provide maximum support to your group by the way of constantly cycling between your Grace of Air Totem Icon Grace of Air Totem and Windfury Totem Icon Windfury Totem. Doing this for an extended period of time is extremely Mana consuming, and as such it will be very helpful to focus on Intellect / Mp5 gear, which is what this list focuses on.

Try to also get useful support weapons, such as Nightfall Icon Nightfall or Annihilator Icon Annihilator, as you will be able to keep their debuff on enemies while performing your Totem Twisting role to its maximum potential, while other classes would lose a lot of DPS by doing so.

WoW Classic Phases

As stated by Blizzard, WoW Classic will have six phases, starting with Molten Core, Onyxia's Lair, and Maraudon, and ending with Naxxramas and the Scourge Invasion.

We will be linking best in slot gear lists for every raid tier in this guide, which can be helpful in order to understand how to progress from hitting Level 60, to getting pre-raid best in slot and from then to clearing all raid tiers.
