WotLK Classic Enhancement Shaman Gear and Best in Slot

Enhancement Shaman Tier 10, Frost Witch's Battlegear, can only be obtained through Emblem of Frost and starts at item level 251. Once you have bought a piece, you can upgrade it to 264 with regular Protector's Mark of Sanctification, which drop from Icecrown Citadel 10 man heroic and 25 man normal, and to 277 with heroic marks, which only drop in Icecrown Citadel 25-man heroic.

Its set bonuses are:

• 2 pieces — causes your Shamanistic Rage ability to also increase your damage by 12% for 15 seconds. This is a decent damage boost which also increases your burst damage capabilities;
• 4 pieces — causes your Maelstrom Weapon to have a 15% chance to grant you 20% extra attack power for 10 seconds each time it hits 5 stacks. This is a powerful damage bonus, but does require you to never cast your spells below the 5 stack cap, thus eliminating the Weaving technique.

As Tier 10 can have high item level and also has great standalone stats, you will want to get its bonuses as soon as possible, favoring using your Emblem of Frost on tier pieces until the 4-piece bonus is obtained.

Also, in Icecrown Citadel the single target heavy physical damage setup is competitive again, allowing you to tailor your gear to your preferred playstyle and gear availability. Thus, some slots will be listing physical and spell power options in the best in slot table below.

Enhancement Shaman Tier 9, Thrall's Battlegear, is obtained differently than before. Rather than dropping from specific bosses, the 258 item level pieces are all bought with the same Regalia of the Grand Protector, which drops in 25-man Heroic Trial of the Crusader.

You can use 10-man Heroic / 25-man Normal dropped Trophy of the Crusade and Emblem of Triumph to buy 245 item level pieces, and the lowest 232 item level versions can be bought with just Triumph Emblems.

Its set bonuses are:

• 2 pieces — increases the chance Static Shock triggers by 3%. This is a small damage increase but also a quality of life decrease due to the need to refresh Lightning Shield more often;
• 4 pieces — increases the damage done by your Earth Shock, Flame Shock, and Frost Shock spells by 25%. This is a another small and straightforward damage increase.

As Tier 9 can have high item level and also has great standalone stats this time, you will want to get its bonuses as soon as possible, favoring using your Emblem of Triumph on item level 245 pieces unless you never raid 10 man Heroic or the 25 man.

Enhancement Shaman Tier 9, Nobundo's Battlegear, is obtained differently than before. Rather than dropping from specific bosses, the 258 item level pieces are all bought with the same Regalia of the Grand Protector, which drops in 25-man Heroic Trial of the Crusader.

Its set bonuses are:

• 2 pieces — increases the chance Static Shock triggers by 3%. This is a small damage increase but also a quality of life decrease due to the need to refresh Lightning Shield more often;
• 4 pieces — increases the damage done by your Earth Shock, Flame Shock, and Frost Shock spells by 25%. This is a another small and straightforward damage increase.

Enhancement Shaman Tier 8, the Worldbreaker Battlegear, is obtained from the following bosses:

• Helm — Thorim in 25-man Ulduar or Mimiron in 10-man Ulduar;
• Chest — Hodir in 25-man Ulduar or Yogg-Saron in 10-man Ulduar;
• Legs — Freya in 25-man Ulduar or Hodir in 10-man Ulduar;
• Shoulders — Yogg-Saron in 25-man Ulduar or Thorim in 10-man Ulduar;
• Gloves — Mimiron in 25-man Ulduar or Freya in 10-man Ulduar.

You can also buy the Helm and Chest 25-man pieces for 58 Emblems of Conquest each from the new vendors in Dalaran.

Its set bonuses are:

• 2 pieces — increases the damage done by Lava Lash and Stormstrike by 20%. This is a small damage increase;
• 4 pieces — increases the frequency of Maelstrom Weapon being triggered by your melee weapon attacks by 20%. This allows you to use your spells more often and can be a good damage increase if you do not overcap on stacks.

You will want to get the 2-piece and, especially, the 4-piece bonus as soon as possible, and you will not replace your set with Hard-Mode pieces, even when you can get a lot of them.

Also, we list two weapons below: Golden Saronite Dragon is your best single target option, while Constellus is your best area damage option. If you can, get both and swap them mid-combat depending on the type of damage you want to focus on at a given moment.

Enhancement Shaman Tier 7, the Earthshatter Battlegear, is obtained from the following bosses:

• Helm — Kel'Thuzad in Naxxramas
• Chest — The Four Horsemen in Naxxramas
• Legs — Thaddius in Naxxramas
• Shoulders — Loatheb in Naxxramas
• Gloves — Sartharion in The Obsidian Sanctum

Its set bonuses are:

• 2 pieces — increases your Lightning Shield damage by 10%. As Lightning Shield is a minor damage source, this bonus is mostly forgettable.
• 4 pieces — causes your Flurry effect to provide an additional 5% melee Haste. This is a very strong bonus and well worth using!

Overall you will want to get the 4-piece bonus as quickly as possible, and most individual pieces also have good stats.
