Equipment will be the main source of your character’s power, contributing the biggest bulk of your stats. It is therefore very important that you choose the correct equipment for each slot — commonly referred to as “best in slot” equipment – to maximize your power. This guide will cover the best items for each slot for Enhancement Shamans in the current phase of Cataclysm Classic.
Always keep in mind that with the addition of the Mail Specialization passive ability in Cataclysm, it’s always optimal to choose Mail gear as an Enhancement Shaman, regardless of stats.
