Enhancement Shaman PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Shadowlands / 9.2)
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 done. This is great for increasing you and your team's overall survivability.
Gear Recommendations
General Guidelines
In general, Enhancement Shaman want to get trinkets that line up well with
Chain Harvest,
Elemental Blast and
Ascendance.
These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stats you want to be
increasing are either Agility or Haste. The Agility will provide a very large
increase to your damage and Haste will reduce your global cooldown, resulting
in powerful, quick damage.
Tier Sets for Enhancement Shaman
Enhancement Shaman 2-Piece — Spending
Maelstrom Weapon has a 3%
chance per stack to summon a
Feral Spirit for 9 seconds. This is not a
strong 2-set bonus by itself. The Feral Spirits do not do significant
damage. Once the 4-set bonus is in use this benefit is more useful.
Enhancement Shaman 4-Piece — Your
Feral Spirits' attacks have a 20% chance to
trigger
Stormbringer, resetting the cooldown of your
Stormstrike.
This 4-set bonus increases Enhancement Shaman's overall pressure and makes the
use of the
Feral Spirit ability and also the 2-set bonus much more impactful.
How to Acquire Tier Sets
PvP activities will allow you to acquire tier set pieces through the Great Vault
or through converting PvP gear to Tier Set pieces using Cosmic Flux and
the Creation Catalyst.
Recommended Items
Cosmic 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
Cosmic 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.
Cosmic 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.
