Enhancement Shaman DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1
On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Enhancement Shaman in World of Warcraft — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1. We also give budget alternatives.
1. Best Gems for Enhancement Shaman
You should use 
Quick Owlseye (or the cheaper 
Quick Golden Beryl) in all sockets.
1.1. Primal Primer Builds
You should use 
Masterful Tidal Amethyst (or the cheaper 
Masterful Kubiline) in all sockets.
2. Best Enchants for Enhancement Shaman
| Slot | Enchantment |
|---|---|
| Weapon | |
| Rings | |
| Rings |
Mastery enchants are used when playing with 
Primal Primer, but
in all other situations Haste is what should be used.
Note that you want one of each of these Weapon enchants, rather than doubling up on them. It does not matter which hand you place which enchant on.
3. Consumables for Enhancement Shaman
3.1. Best Flasks and Potions for Enhancement
Flask of the Currents should be used as your flask.
Battle Potion of Agility is the DPS potion of choice for Enhancement
in all situations currently. 
Coastal Healing Potion is the healing
potion of choice.
3.2. Best Food for Enhancement
Currently, using 
Sanguinated Feast is the ideal choice (or the
single use 
Boralus Blood Sausage), but can
be outscaled by the Mastery food 
Sailor's Pie (or the cheaper
Loa Loaf) when using Primal Primer.
3.3. Augment Runes for Enhancement
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.
