Enhancement Shaman BiS — Phase 2

Serpentshrine Cavern / Tempest Keep

Enhancement Shaman is the heart of the TBC melee group: Windfury Totem multiplies every warrior's and rogue's output, Unleashed Rage adds AP on your crits, and your own stormstrike-windfury rolls put up real numbers. Melee groups are built around this spec — gear it like it matters. This Phase 2 snapshot aggregates 290 top DPS parses from Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep; the highest-consensus pick is Totem of the Astral Winds at 98% usage.

Enhancement raids for Windfury Totem and Unleashed Rage — your own dual-wield windfury procs want the hit cap badly, and after it attack power scales both you and (through Unleashed Rage) your whole melee group on every crit.

Enhancement Shaman PvE FAQ

Where does Enhancement Shaman Phase 2 BiS come from?

From the gear worn by 290 top-ranked Enhancement Shaman DPS parses on Warcraft Logs during Phase 2 (Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep), aggregated per slot — what high parsers actually equip, not a spreadsheet ideal.

What are the highest-consensus Enhancement Shaman items in Phase 2?

Totem of the Astral Winds (98%), Cataclysm Gauntlets (86%), Cataclysm Legplates (84%). When an item sits above ~70% among top parsers, treat it as the priority drop to chase.

Should I follow this list exactly for Phase 2?

Use it as a loot-priority guide, not a checklist — expand each slot's alternatives, because second-choice items are often within a few percent and drop from entirely different bosses in Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep.
