How a Enhancement Shaman gears
Enhancement in Classic was a two-hander spec. Its lists borrowed from the warrior's and hunter's, competing with both for mail and weapons. Windfury procs are why weapon speed matters more than for almost any other spec.
- The slowest two-hander with good damage usually wins.
- Keep some intellect so you can keep shocking.

What is the Enhancement Shaman stat priority?
