Elemental Shaman DPS Pre-Raid Gear
On this page, you will find the best gear and best in slot items from Pre-Raid content for your Elemental Shaman DPS in WoW Classic. For more gearing advice, please refer to our Elemental Shaman DPS Gearing and Best in Slot guide.
Elemental Shaman Pre-Raid Best in Slot List
You will be looking for gear with a lot of (Nature) Spell damage, Spell Hit and Spell Crit, with Stamina being a secondary concern. You can find gear from dungeons, blue PvP sets (up to rank 10) and reputation gear in the lists below.
WoW Classic Phases
As stated by Blizzard, WoW Classic will have six phases, starting with Molten Core, Onyxia's Lair, and Maraudon, and ending with Naxxramas and the Scourge Invasion.
We will be linking best in slot gear lists for every raid tier in this guide, which can be helpful in order to understand how to progress from hitting Level 60, to getting pre-raid best in slot and from then to clearing all raid tiers.
Shaman Pre-Raid Best in Slot
Naxxramas Elemental Shaman Pre-Raid BiS
*These items have random suffixes. You will be looking for "of Nature's Wrath" which gives +Nature Spell Damage and "of Sorcery" which gives +Spell Damage, Intellect and Stamina on Abyssal gear. Since you need both the item and the correct suffix to drop, these are often hard to farm, so make sure you have reasonable alternatives until you can get the correct drop.
MC/Ony Elemental Shaman Pre-Raid Best in Slot List
This is the gear we recommend for Elemental Shamans before setting foot in Molten Core or Onyxia's Lair.
*These items have random suffixes. You will be looking for "of Nature's Wrath," which gives +Nature Spell Damage. Since you need both the item and the correct suffix to drop, these are often hard to farm, so make sure you have reasonable alternatives until you can get the correct drop.
