The Shaman ranks among the most versatile classes in World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery. So long as you have the gear to match, Shaman players can fill any of the three major roles.

World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery infused the Classic version of Azeroth with new items, questlines, and mechanics, such as Runes. With more playstyles than ever, Shamans can fill their usual DPS or healer role, but also experiment as a tank. To make any of these builds work however, you need to find the proper gear.

Phase two introduced a boatload of new gear, primarily stemming from the reworked 10-person Gnomeregan instance. No matter your Shaman spec, below are the pieces of gear that you should hunt in phase two.

Enhancement Shaman DPS BiS gear in WoW SoD

Enhancement Shamans have more choice than ever in World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery, as this spec can be used to either pursue a melee DPS or the relatively new tank build.

Although Enhancement tanks and DPS have some overlap regarding their BiS gear in phase two, DPS builds ultimately need to prioritize Crit and Agility:

Enhancement Shaman Tank BiS gear in WoW SoD

Shaman tanks were an experimental build in vanilla World of Warcraft, but Season of Discovery has given the build more power than ever. Like the other Shaman specs listed, the majority of your BiS gear will come from Gnomeregan, so it’ll make your life much easier to familiarize yourself with this 10-person instance.

Elemental Shaman DPS BiS gear in WoW SoD

Elemental Shamans are closer to traditional spellcasters than Enhancement Shamans, and by extension require Intellect-based gear. Screenshot by Dot Esports.

Aside from melee DPS, Shamans can take a spellcasting approach to the class through the Elemental spec. Compared to previously mentioned builds, Elemental Shamans require items that prioritize spell damage and Intellect rather than Agility or Stamina.

Healing Shaman BiS gear in WoW SoD

With powerful burst heals such as Chain Healing, Restoration Shamans have always been among the best healers in World of Warcraft. Season of Discovery is no different, as Runes and gear dropped in phase two have only worked to power up Restoration Shamans even further.

Restoration Shamans prioritizes Intellect-based gear first and foremost, much like Elemental Shamans, but items that give either healing or mana regeneration bonuses are even more sought after.

In terms of loot sources, Restoration Shamans will likely need to do the most work out of any other Shaman spec. Not only will you need to farm Gnomeregan bosses such as the Crowd Pummeler, Mekigneer Thermaplugg, and STX-04/BD, but you also need to utilize Ziri’s crafting recipes and run BFD for the full set listed above.
