Enhancement Shaman PvE best in slot at level 20
Level 20 archive. One weapon, as large as it gets: the shaman cannot dual wield, so every swing is that weapon's damage and a slow weapon beats a fast one. Then Strength, then Intellect: a point of Strength gives 2 attack power, and Mental Dexterity 3/3 turns a point of Intellect into 1 with its mana beside it. Agility comes after them, since it only adds critical strike.

Enhancement Shaman PvE questions
What is the best weapon for a level 20 Enhancement Shaman PvE in WoW Forever?
Smite's Mighty Hammer for Alliance, from Mr. Smite, The Deadmines (18.58% in Classic). Hammerbone for Horde, from Leaders of the Fang (Horde, from level 10, reported, not checked).
Which stats matter most for a level 20 Enhancement Shaman PvE?
One weapon, as large as it gets: the shaman cannot dual wield, so every swing is that weapon's damage and a slow weapon beats a fast one. Then Strength, then Intellect: a point of Strength gives 2 attack power, and Mental Dexterity 3/3 turns a point of Intellect into 1 with its mana beside it. Agility comes after them, since it only adds critical strike.
What talents does a Enhancement Shaman PvE use at level 20?
Enhancement dungeon, 0/11/0 at level 20: Thundering Strikes 5/5, Mental Dexterity 3/3, Improved Lightning Shield 2/3, Shamanistic Focus 1/1.
How much health does a level 20 Shaman have in this gear?
A Dwarf Shaman has 910 health and 665 armor with 645 mana; a Orc Shaman has 980 health and 659 armor with 615 mana. That is Classic's level 20 base stats plus the selected gear, including random suffixes, with no enchants, buffs or talents.
Rankings within a slot are best first for level 20. Random-suffix items use the named variant's stats and link to the underlying item; check the full name when buying. Quest levels marked "in Classic" come from Classic's data, and Forever may have moved them. Drop chances are Classic's.
