Enchants, Gems and Consumables for Enhancement 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 Enhancement Shaman, please visit our dedicated Stats page.
Best Gems for Enhancement Shaman
Due to secondary stat diminishing returns, your gems may fluctuate depending
on what is currently present on your gear. However, the most likely ideal
choice is Quick Jewel Cluster (or the cheaper
Quick Jewel Doublet) for extra Haste.
This can shift when you reach the breakpoint for secondary stat suppression at 30% (roughly 1050 rating) for any stat though, so when you start to reach these points it is strongly recommended to sim your character and see if you should change your choices.
Best Enchants for Enhancement Shaman
Slot | Enchantment |
---|---|
Rings |
|
Main Hand | |
Off Hand | |
Boots | |
Chest | |
Cloak |
For AoE situations you can swap out your Enchant Weapon - Sinful Revelation
enchant for
Enchant Weapon - Lightless Force. It does not matter which weapon has
which enchant, but always try to maintain one copy of
Enchant Weapon - Celestial Guidance.
Cloak enchants are mostly
personal choice, but Avoidance is a solid stat due to our
reduced survivability. Enchant Chest - Eternal Stats is also a good
chest enchant alternative if you want to focus less on exclusively single-target.
Consumables for Enhancement Shaman
Best Flasks and Potions for Enhancement
Spectral Flask of Power should be used as your flask.
Potion of Spectral Agility is your damage potion of choice.
Cosmic Healing Potion is the healing potion of choice.
Weapon Oils are not available to Enhancement Shaman due to our
weapon imbues, Windfury Weapon and
Flametongue Weapon,
overwriting them, so should be avoided.
Best Food for Enhancement
Currently, whenever possible, you should use the
Feast of Gluttonous Hedonism, if provided by your group. Alternatively,
if using your own food, you should be using the Haste food
Tenebrous Crown Roast Aspic (though this may vary slightly depending on
your gear).
Augment Runes for Enhancement
If you can afford it, you should use Veiled Augment Runes (or the
permanent
Eternal Augment Rune) to increase your primary stat. Since
there is a finite amount of the consumable runes available, you should make
sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them for when you need them.
