Welcome to the Shaman information portal! Within this thread you will find a collection of useful links, guides and informational references for the Shaman class.

If you have any guides or links you know to be of use for the Shamans of the world, be sure to let us know in this thread so we can include it in the list!

Our aim is to keep this as a catalogue of information for the most up to date version of World of Warcraft, and we will do all we can to ensure the links included remain as fresh as possible. Be sure to let us know here, or by reporting it for ‘Sticky Request’ using the Biohazard symbol on the post in question, if a thread could be used in our collection of guides or if a link is no longer suitable for the current game version.

Enhancement FAQ:

Hit cap 342 Draenei, 368 Horde, Expertise rating cap 140. Cap those before worrying about other stats. Once capped then go for 30%Crit, after that AP/Agi/Haste.
Use Rawr or EnhSim the Enhancement Shaman DPS simulator to work out what stats are best for your personal gear & talent setup.

http://elitistjerks.com/f47/t20765-shaman_enhancement/ <--- For deeper enhancement theorycrafting. These guys do a lot of testing and math/simming. Doing your own math=good. Using their math when not knowing better=also good.

Example Wotlk spreadsheet for endgame gear:

http://www.lootrank.com/wr.asp?Cla=64&Art=2&s1=2.4&s2=3&s3=2.4&s4=3&Max=12&Str=1.1&mh=1.50&dps=5.52&mcr=1.59&odps=2.76&spd=1.1&Agi=1.68&mhit=2.17&Int=1.33&map=1&arp=1.31&Exp=2&Ver=6

If you dislike a class' mechanics so much that you wished they worked totally differently, it's possible you are playing the wrong class. :)

The guide for Ele that was up there is basically still up to date for 3.1, and should be included.

please do not post here with these questions, go read agash's guide and be amazed of the things he, I , and others wrote there

resists are not affected by hit rating - they are affected by spell penetration - and it has been demosntrated that it's better to just go and increase SP, haste, crit because resist "cap" might be too hard to get .. if it exists ( try too look around, there are no items with spell penetration ... that's a lvl 70 pvp stat )

pls delete your post here, as I will after you read ;)

Outside of raids WF/WF will return more burst.

In raids WF/FT will return better sustained DPS.

I'm not sure at all, just a guess: try spell penetration enchant on cloak or something like that. Never do any kind of research about anything so I have no idea, wild guesses. :) Hope it worked, anyways.

LOL hit doesn't have anything to do with resist or so when you miss then you must think for hit again ... if npcs resist or so just put some spell penetration ... I play enh shamy with 349 hit 37% crit 3900 ap ... few weeks ago we downed yogg and I was on 2 place on dps... from 10 man raid thx to some misses ... 349 aint good enough... looking forward for some hit items cuz everything is socked with hit...

Windfury and flametongue 2 WFs reduce your total dps cuz the offhand wf proc more offten and so with the wf CD mainhand rarely proc and offhand procs are low as based damage ... so best is flametongue and wf you gonna get max dps from wf that way... main hand wf offhand flametongue and the cool thing on flametongue that gives some + spell
