Elemental Shaman PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Dragonflight / 10.0.7)
Choosing your gear carefully is important for your Elemental Shaman in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the right stats, followed by advice on how to choose the rest of your gear and your trinkets.
This page is part of our Elemental Shaman PvP Guide.
Stat Priority for Elemental Shamans in PvP
The stat priority for Elemental Shamans in PvP is as follows:
- Intellect;
- Versatility;
- Haste;
- Mastery;
- Critical Strike;
Versatility is the best stat due to the increased survivability and
overall damage. The scaling is amplified by Master of the Elements,
and
Skyfury Totem when you critically strike.

General Guidelines
In general, Elemental Shaman want to get on-use trinkets for Intellect
that line up well with their offensive cooldowns Primordial Wave,
Earth Shock and
Stormkeeper.
Recommendaed Items
Crimson Gladiator's Medallion is required for PvP, since this is how
you can free yourself from any crowd-control. This also is one of the two PvP
trinkets that are part of a set, whose bonus will increase your Intellect
and Stamina.
Crimson Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity is a great on-use trinket to have
to have. The on-use increased primary stat will give a temporary boost of
damage which can be used with your offensive cooldowns.
Crimson Gladiator's Emblem is a trinket that provides a temporary
health buff, which can be used when you believe the team will be focusing you in
big burst windows, and you will need the defensive to survive.
