For more information about what Covenants bring you, please refer to our page about Covenant abilities for Shaman.
It is important to choose the correct Covenant, as it has many impacts on your gameplay. Your Covenant will give you both a Covenant ability and a class ability. The next choice you have will be Soulbinds and Conduits. All of these are Covenant-specific and they are different based on which you choose. Here are the best Covenants for Enhancement Shaman.
- Venthyr is the best Covenant you can choose. This
gives you a huge offensive cooldown (
Chain Harvest) and gives good defensive Soulbinds. It also provides a teleport ability, which can be used to secure crowd-control. Some of the Soulbinds also provide damage reduction and absorption shields.
Best Soulbinds for Enhancement Shamans in PvP
Soulbinds are unlocked as you progress your character with a Covenant. These unlock powerful paths that can be taken to give you powerful spells, important passives, etc. Here is the Soulbind and path you should take if you chose Necrolord.
This Soulbind path maximizes on defensives and damage reduction, absorptions, and increased healing, which should help you with survivability.
Best Conduits for Enhancement Shamans in PvP
Conduits are passive buffs that you can use to fill empty slots in your Soulbind Trees. There are three types of Conduits: Potency, Endurance, and Finesse. Here are the best Conduits for each of those different types:
Best Potency Conduits for Enhancement Shamans in PvP
Unruly Winds gives a chance at another Windfury damage proc with each melee hit. This additional Windfury hit can also proc
Stormbringer, which resets
Stormstrike's cooldown.
Lavish Harvest is a good choice to increase the chance at critical strikes when using
Chain Harvest. This skill provides the highest burst damage in the Enhancement Shaman toolkit. Increasing the critical strike chance can lead to significant burst and kill opportunities.
Swirling Currents, even though a Restoration Shaman Conduit, boosts your significantly, which can make the difference in matches especially when you are likely the kill target for the other team.
Best Endurance Conduits for Enhancement Shamans in PvP
Refreshing Waters will significantly improve your self-healing, which is extremely important, especially when combined with the
Swelling Waves PvP Talent.
Vital Accretion provides a total health point buff, which can help temporarily keep you alive through cooldowns. Just remember that this only lasts for 1 minute.
Best Finesse Conduits for Enhancement Shamans in PvP
Thunderous Paws is great for a slight burst of movement speed for kiting enemy teams.
Totemic Surge could be valuable as the Conduit ranks up and the cooldown reduction increases.
Best Legendaries for Enhancement Shamans in PvP
Legendaries have many different effects and some can alter how you should use some of your abilities. For more information on Legendaries, check out our general guide on them.
Here are the best Legendaries for a Enhancement Shaman.
Doom Winds allows you to do significant damage with your auto-attacks proccing
Windfury Weapon. Combining this with other offensive cooldowns can do devastating amounts of damage but also forecast to the enemy team you are bursting.
Earthen Harmony, even though a Restoration Shaman Legendary, provides significant healing for you or your teammates, since
Earth Shield can be applied on them. This is the defensive Legendary option, which may be necessary if you are being focused down during the game or your teammates are.
