Stat Priority for Elemental Shamans in PvP

The stat priority for Elemental Shamans in PvP is as follows:

  1. Intellect;
  2. Versatility;
  3. Haste;
  4. Mastery;
  5. Critical Strike;

Versatility is the best stat due to the increased survivability and overall damage. The scaling is amplified by Master of the Elements Icon Master of the Elements, and Skyfury Totem Icon Skyfury Totem when you critically strike.

Recommendaed Items

Crimson Gladiator's Medallion Icon 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 Icon 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 Icon 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.
