Stat Priorities

  1. Hit
  2. Expertise
  3. Agility
  4. Haste

Caps & Requirements

Hit~13-14% melee, 17% spell (practical end-game target)

Dual-wielding with both melee and spell components (Stormstrike, Windfury, white attacks) pushes the practical target well above the 8% melee minimum.

Expertise26 expertise (214 rating base)
Armor PenetrationHas value but is not a stack-to-1400 stat

Enhancement deals significant elemental damage, which weakens pure ArP value compared to a pure-physical spec.

Best Races

Horde Orc

Enhancement gets the most from it — Blood Fury scales both attack power and spell power, and Axe Specialization gives +5 expertise if you run axes (common for Enh). Elemental and Restoration prefer Troll for Berserking haste.

Alliance Draenei

Gift of the Naaru for Restoration, and Heroic Presence hands the raid +1% hit — useful from an Elemental or Enhancement shaman.

Notes

ArP-cap physical agility setup; Delicate/Glinting used after cap and for socket/cap polishing.

01 / About this list

The Enhancement Shaman list in short

This is the Best in Slot list for the Enhancement Shaman in WotLK 3.3.5a Phase 4: the strongest realistic gear from Icecrown Citadel 25, Ruby Sanctum and Trial of the Grand Crusader. It covers 17 equipment slots with the enchant, the gems and the close alternatives for every piece, in 2 builds (Haste and ArP 2026).

In short: the Haste build uses the Royal Scepter of Terenas II in the main hand with the Havoc's Call, Blade of Lordaeron Kings * in the off hand and the Bizuri's Totem of Shattered Ice in the totem slot; its trinkets are Phylactery of the Nameless Lich and Charred Twilight Scale; the head slot is Sanctified Frost Witch's Faceguard and the chest is Carapace of Forgotten Kings.

Stat priority: Hit, then Expertise, then Agility, then Haste. The caps and the best races for this spec are in the panels above the notes.
