The stat priority for Enhancement Shaman in PvP is as follows:

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.

Haste, is important for increased recovery rate for global cooldowns, and multiple Enhancement Shaman abilities like Stormstrike.

Mastery, will passively increase overall damage through Enhancement Shaman's Mastery.

Note: It is essential that you wear two PvP trinkets. This will give you a Stamina and primary stat boost from Gladiator's Distinction (primary stat +15%, Stamina +5% for damage dealers) that will in turn increase your survivability.

As noted above, acquiring both your 2-set and 4-set bonus is crucial. It is important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed effectiveness in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances to win. For Enhancement Shamans, this is your tier set:

• 2-set: Voltaic Blaze causes your primary target to erupt in a Fire Nova every 2 sec for 6 sec. Fire Nova deals 200% increased damage to the primary target of your Voltaic Blaze.
• 4-set: Fire Nova reduces the cooldown of Crash Lightning by 2.0 sec and increases the damage of your next Crash Lightning by 8%, stacking up to 5 times.

Embellishments are bonuses that can be put on crafted gear. These effects can have a drastic impact on the game. You are only allowed to have two Embellishments equipped at the same time. Here are the recommended Embellishments for Enhancement Shaman:

• Arcanoweave Lining is the best embellishment for Enhancement Shamans. This gives your spells and abilities a chance to empower an ally, increasing you and your teammate's primary stat. This is great for increasing your overall damage output.
