Enchants, Gems and Consumables for Elemental Shaman
This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Elemental Shaman, please visit our dedicated Stats page.
Best Gems for Elemental Shaman
You should use 
Versatile Jewel Cluster or 
Quick Jewel Cluster depending
on what your character is lacking. If those are a bit expensive, you can use
the cheaper 
Versatile Jewel Doublet or 
Quick Jewel Doublet.

| Slot | Enchantment |
|---|---|
| Rings | |
| Weapon | |
| Chest | |
| Bracers |
Consumables for Elemental Shaman
Weapon Oil for Elemental Shaman
Shadowcore Oil on your weapon,
although 
Embalmer's Oil might be worth using in solo content or for PvP.
Best Flasks and Potions for Elemental Shaman
Potion of Deathly Fixation is supposed to be the best potion for pure
single-target but is currently pretty much neck and neck with
Potion of Spectral Intellect which should be used as your potion in all
multi-target situations.
Spectral Flask of Power should be used as your flask of choice. 
Eternal Cauldrons
are equivalent.
Use both 
Healthstone and 
Spiritual Healing Potions when you are
in danger of dying.
Best Food for Elemental
You should eat from the 
Feast of Gluttonous Hedonism when possible,
and otherwise 
Steak a la Mode or 
Tenebrous Crown Roast Aspic
are the best individual foods.
Augment Rune for Elemental Shaman
If you can afford it, you should use 
Veiled Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes
available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them
for when you need them.
