Elemental Shaman PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Shadowlands / 9.0.2)

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, and Skyfury Totem when you critically strike.

In general, Elemental Shaman want to get on-use trinkets for Intellect that line up well with their offensive cooldowns Stormkeeper and Echoing Shock.

Sinful 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 the damage throughput benefit from your Versatility by 40%.

Sinful 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.

Sinful 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.

Here are the best enchants for a Restoration Shaman:

• Bracers: Enchant Bracers - Eternal Intellect
• Cloak: Enchant Cloak - Soul Vitality
• Chest: Enchant Chest - Eternal Stats
• Rings: Enchant Ring - Tenet of Versatility
• Weapon: Enchant Weapon - Celestial Guidance
