Best in slot (BiS) · Level 50

WoW Forever Enhancement Shaman BiS at level 50

DPS
role
4/15
new in Forever
14/15
with a known source

Summary

This is the site’s suggestion for Enhancement Shaman at level 50, not an official list: we use our Enhancement stat weights to score every item a Shaman can use with a required level of 50 or lower, and pick the best one for each slot. The beta does not reach this level yet (the current cap is 30): it is a forecast, and items and their sources may change.

Stat priority of the list, per point: Strength > Agility > Attack Power > Stamina. Percentage stats count too, per 1%: critical strike and hit. On weapons, two-hand weapon DPS matters most.

The highest-scoring pieces:

4 of the 15 pieces are new in Forever and 14 have a known source.

Relic

Relic: not scored

More on Enhancement Shaman

Reasoning: Enhancement in Classic Era has no dual wield: it is a slow two-hander with Windfury Weapon, which adds two extra attacks with weapon damage, hence the heavy weight on speed. 1 strength = 2 AP; agility gives crit and dodge; crit is worth more thanks to Flurry. Intellect and spell power count for Shocks and totems.

Heads up: the beta is capped at level 30 and the weights are indicative, tuned for level 60 with no simulations behind them. Sources come from the WoWSims Forever database and, for items that already existed in Classic, from the Classic 1.12 database (CMaNGOS Classic-DB, marked "Classic data": they may change in Forever); an item without a source may not be obtainable yet. Set bonuses and procs are not scored. Everything will change with each build.

Treat these lists as a starting point: your talents, enchants and play style may make another piece the better pick.
