Races & Racials

Orc is the most popular race for Elemental Shaman at 42%, followed by Highmountain Tauren (30%) and Dwarf (12%).

Orc at 42% usage is a clear favorite, largely thanks to Hardiness, which passively reduces stun duration by 20%, one of the strongest PvP racials in the game.

Highmountain Tauren players bring Bull Rush, which charges forward, knocking down enemies for a 1.5 second stun.

Gear Strategy

The preferred secondary stats are Versatility and Haste, with Mastery as a third option. Since the item level of PvP gear scales in PvP, the real gearing decision comes down to picking the right items for these stats.

The full 4-piece tier set (Mantle of the Primal Core) is standard for Elemental Shaman. Both the 2-piece and 4-piece bonuses are active.

Top players are doubling up on Arcanoweave Lining for both embellishment slots.

The most popular bloodstone is Enduring Heliotrope (58%), and the most common secondary gem is Flawless Quick Lapis (55%).
