Stat Priority for Enhancement Shaman in PvP

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

  1. Agility;
  2. Versatility;
  3. Mastery;
  4. Haste;
  5. 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. This is great for increasing your and your team's overall survivability.

After prioritizing Versatility, Haste should be around 15% minimum, with the remaining stats going into Mastery.

Recommended Embellished PvP Gear:

Ascendance Icon Ascendance/Writhing Armor Banding Icon Writhing Armor Banding which will provide significant secondary stats while in combat.

Forged Gladiator's Emblem Icon Forged 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.

Forged Gladiator's Medallion Icon Forged 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

Forged Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity Icon Forged 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.
