Elemental ShamanElemental Shaman PvP Build

What the best players run right now: the talents to import, the gear, the stat priority and the comps. Build data shown for Solo Shuffle.

How to use this Elemental Shaman PvP guide

Start with the talent string at the top of the talents section. It is the full build the best Elemental Shaman players run in Solo Shuffle, and it imports straight into the game from the talent window. The rest of the page explains that build: the race and faction top players pick, the gear they wear and the stats they stack, where their talents split, and the comps they queue into.

What to look for in a Elemental Shaman build

Ranged damage only counts when the casts go through. Take the core damage talents, then weigh the options for mobility, crowd control and cast safety, since they decide how much pressure you keep with a melee on top of you.

Who plays this Elemental Shaman build

The build above comes from 100 Elemental Shaman players in EU and US playing Solo Shuffle at 2373 to 2982 rating.

Elemental Shaman PvP talents: core, choices and hero trees

Core talents are the ones almost every top Elemental Shaman player takes, so copy them as they are. Choice points are where builds split: a talent at 90% is settled, one near 50% is a real decision, and the two options usually answer different teams. PvP talents change the most between games, and the hero talents panel shows whether both trees are played at the top.

Elemental Shaman PvP gear, BiS and stat priority

The stat priority sits at the top of the gear section, and the pieces below are chosen around it. Each slot shows the share of top players wearing every item, so a slot above 70% is effectively your PvP best in slot, while a split slot means the pieces are close. Enchants, gems and embellishments are listed the same way, and the cheap enchant everyone runs matters more than a rare item one player happens to own.

Elemental Shaman comps and matchups

In 2v2 and 3v3 you get the comps Elemental Shaman is played in, best first, then the specs it has the hardest time against and the partners it plays with most. Solo Shuffle deals new teammates every round and battlegrounds are too big for a fixed comp, so comps only show for 2v2 and 3v3.
