Shaman Enhancement best in slot at level 20
The best gear for a level 20 Shaman in the Forever beta, slot by slot, with where each piece comes from. One two-handed weapon, as slow and heavy as possible: dual wield is out of reach at 20. Strength and Agility next, with Intellect beside them because Mental Dexterity at 3/3 turns it into attack power.

Shaman Enhancement questions
What is the best weapon for a level 20 Shaman (Enhancement) in WoW Forever?
Smite's Mighty Hammer for Alliance and Hammerbone for Horde. The top pick comes from Leaders of the Fang (Horde, from level 10, reported, not checked).
Which stats matter most for a level 20 Shaman (Enhancement)?
One two-handed weapon, as slow and heavy as possible: dual wield is out of reach at 20. Strength and Agility next, with Intellect beside them because Mental Dexterity at 3/3 turns it into attack power.
What talents go with this Shaman Enhancement list?
Enhancement for PvP, 0/11/0 at level 20: Earth's Grasp 2/2, Thundering Strikes 3/5, Mental Dexterity 3/3, Improved Ghost Wolf 2/2, Shamanistic Focus 1/1.
How much health does a level 20 Shaman have in this gear?
A Dwarf Shaman has 970 health and 689 armor with 645 mana; a Orc Shaman has 920 health and 681 armor with 615 mana. That is Classic's level 20 base stats plus the first item in each slot, with no enchants, buffs or talents.
Stats are read from the Forever client, including items the game server sends that the packaged client lacks. Rankings within a slot are best first for the level 20 cap. Quest levels marked "in Classic" come from Classic's data, and Forever may have moved them. Drop chances are Classic's.
