Enhancement Shaman PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — The War Within (11.1.5)
Choosing your gear carefully is important for your Enhancement Shaman in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the right stats, followed by advice on how to choose the rest of your gear and your trinkets.
This page is part of our Enhancement Shaman PvP Guide.
Stat Priority for Enhancement Shaman in PvP
The stat priority for Enhancement Shaman in PvP is as follows:
- Agility;
- Versatility;
- Haste;
- Mastery;
- Critical Strike;
Agility is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the most important stat to have. This reduces the damage you take and increases your damage and healing. This is great for increasing your and your team's overall survivability.
After prioritizing Versatility, Haste should be around 20% minimum, with the remaining stats going into Mastery.
Recommended Embellished PvP Gear:
Ascendance/
Writhing Armor Banding which will provide
significant secondary stats while in combat.
Recommended Items
Prized 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.
Prized 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, which will increase Agility and
Stamina
Prized 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.
