Cataclysm Classic Enhancement Shaman Enchants and Consumables

While it is easy to understand which Enchants, Gems, and Consumables you should use in Cataclysm, they also have an outsized impact on your performance, especially when doing hard content such as Heroic Raiding.

Below is a list of the optimal consumables and enchants to help you get the most out of your Enhancement.

Slot	Enchantment
Head	Arcanum of the Ramkahen
Shoulders	Greater Inscription of Shattered Crystal
Back	Swordguard Embroidery or Enchant Cloak - Major Agility
Chest	Enchant Chest - Peerless Stats
Bracers	Enchant Bracer - Agility
Gloves	Enchant Gloves - Greater Mastery
Legs	Dragonscale Leg Armor
Feet	Enchant Boots - Major Agility
Main-hand Weapon	Enchant Weapon - Landslide
Off-hand Weapon	Enchant Weapon - Landslide

Agile Shadowspirit Diamond is by far the best option for your Meta Gem, as it gives a considerable amount of Agility and increases the amount of damage dealt by Critical Strikes by 3%. Always make sure you have at least three Red Gems in your gear to keep your Meta gem active.

Our focus is maximizing Agility as much as possible, and thus you want to socket Delicate Inferno Ruby in all slots except if the socket bonus is of 10 Agility or higher.

• In Red Sockets, you will use Delicate Inferno Ruby.
• In Blue Sockets, use Glinting Demonseye if the socket bonus is 10 or more Agility, otherwise Delicate Inferno Ruby.
• In Yellow Sockets, use Adept Ember Topaz if the socket bonus is 10 or more Agility, otherwise Delicate Inferno Ruby.

Similar to Gems, the goal with your food buff is maximizing your Agility. There are three options that all grant 90 Agility:

• Skewered Eel
• Fortune Cookie
• Seafood Magnifique Feast

Enhancement Shamans should use Flask of the Winds.

For combat potion, use Potion of the Tol'vir along with your cooldowns and just before pulling, and Mythical Healing Potion for emergency self-healing.

While you will not have much time to cast them and any kind of damage taken will interrupt their healing, Dense Embersilk Bandage can be the difference between surviving or dying so it is a great Mana-free way to heal yourself in an emergency.
