On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Elemental Shaman in World of Warcraft — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2.5. We also give budget alternatives.
Best Gems for Elemental Shaman
You should use 
Leviathan's Eye of Intellect in one socket, and
Versatile Dark Opal (or the cheaper
Versatile Royal Quartz) in all other sockets.
If you are not using the standard 
Icefury build, then you should use
Deadly Lava Lazuli (or the cheaper 
Deadly Amberblaze).

Consumables for Elemental Shaman
Best Flasks and Potions for Elemental Shaman
Potion of Unbridled Fury is the best potion for pure single-target.
Superior Battle Potion of Intellect is not far behind in single-target and
should be used as your potion in all multi-target situations.
Greater Flask of Endless Fathoms should be used as your flask of choice.
Use both 
Healthstone and 
Abyssal Healing Potions when you are
in danger of dying.
Best Food for Elemental
You should eat from the 
Famine Evaluator And Snack Table when possible,
and otherwise 
Mech-Dowel's "Big Mech" or 
Bil'Tong are
the best individual foods.
Augment Runes for Elemental
If you can afford it, you should use 
Battle-Scarred 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.
