You need to have a http://www.cuckhead.com/?item=29763 to get this armor. I believe that you can obtain these from dungeons in the Outlands.

tier 4 and 5 enhancement sets really fail to impress me. +hit, +crit and AP are severely lacking. yet resto and elemental builds get a set that's exactly tailored to their needs.

would have been nice if at least 1 of these sets was a good pve dw set, rather than both of them being hybrid/pvp.

looks like it's mix&match again...

I think, based on my own experience and from what I've heard from other shammies, that as a raiding DW-er you can never have too many to Hit bonuses. Hence, it becomes vital to invest in both the talents AND any to Hit gear one can get. The Cyclone Harness simply forms an excellent set in that regard, as does the simpler Desolation set.

Comment by Xaro

Although Hit is an excelent stat. Over valuing it can potentially hurt your DPS as an enhancement shaman.

-------------Just a small note on the Base Miss Rate--------------
Equal level mobs (+0 levels from the player)
Base Miss Rate is 5%
Dual Wielding increases the Base Miss Rate by 19%
Making it a total of 24%

On raid bosses (+3 levels from the player)
The Base Miss Rate is ~9%
With the DW penalty it would be ~28%

I have to agree with Itharius. When looking at damage meters you will see that a good 65-70 percent of your damage is still white damage. SS and WF will only account for 30-35 percent of your overall damage. My numbers are a little off but the fact remains that white damage will account for the majority of your damage.

But if you want to know what is more important for a raiding shaman you should prioritize stats as follows:

Melee Crit > Str > Agi > AP

If you prefer wighted numbers:

Strength = 2 (2.2 w/Kings)
Crit Rating = 2
Agility = 1.8 (2 w/Kings)
Hit Rating = 1.4
Attack Power = 1

The best collection of knowledge I have found is on the Elitist Jerks theorycraft forums. Follow the link you will not be disappointed.

it makes me sad to see so much agi on this stuff. for loot we're sharing with hunters i can understand, but on this set it doesn't make any sense. give us some crit rating! they only seemed to get it right on the chest. =(

Comment by 15914

actually the hit rating past 5% still improves our WF damage, since more white damage hits equal more WF procs. a 1% increase in the number of white damage hits grants nearly a 1% increase in WF procs, which is a 1% increase in WF damage. +hit up to the 24% cap increases all our damage except SS and ES, which is to say nearly all of it, despite the fact that the actual WF strikes are on the special attack hit scheme.

Comment by Swirl

Well, in my humble opinion white dmg accounts for around 40% of your dmg, and yes it's the white dmg that procs Windfury, You miss an attack, you could well have missed a windfury, And so hit rating is vital, i wouldnt go over the top...no need to get a 1-4% chance of missing only, you'll be sacrificing too much AP/Crit, But a hit rating of 170-220 is vital, Trust me

Comment by 34146

Every point you put into hit rating over STR/AP/Crit is wasted damage for windfury and stormstrike. True if you miss a white attack you might miss a chance for WF, but with 100 hit from gear and 9 from talents that only leaves a 12% miss chance. You multiply that with the 20% chance for a WF proc that leaves you with a minor 2.4% chance to miss an attack that could proc WF, and that's not calculating for the likelyhood that those attacks will be within the 3s cooldown.

Don't get me wrong though, hit rating is nice, but less than half of our damage is from white attacks and hit rating will not affect any other portion of our damage. 1% crit will cancel out the loss of 1% hit on white hits and will also affect WF/SS. If you're using Relentless Earthstorm Diamond the difference is even more profoud. Just gear for AP/Crit and since most mail AP gear has hit anyways you're bound to get a decent amount of hit without sacrificing overall damage.

Ok for all of you out there who are quoting &*!@, go check out the Elitist Jerks website and they will give you a complete break down of everything important to enhancement shamans, so for those cheering for agi, its better to get %crit instead. Str/AP/Crit 3 most important things for a shaman. Heres a link to the elitist jerks website. http://elitistjerks.com/f31/t13297-enhance_shaman_collected_works_theorycraft_vol_i/

I am assuming yes, but, the 2set bonus is added after enhancing totems, right?

Most of the enhancement shaman gear has / will change in 3.0.0 to reflect the change in base stat bonus, from 1 STR = 2 AP to 1 STR = 1 AP and 1 AGI = 1 AP (you may also get with talent an bonus to AP from INT), items for the most part no longer have STR on them, they have a flat AP(i went from 1675 ap to 2236 ap).While this looks great on paper, its not so good in game, with the flat ap system and the majority of items with little to 0 str your overall raid AP bonus from MoTW and Kings is minor.

Please note im not trying to start a fight, this is my observation from playing on PTR and raiding in Hyjal, so for all the raid shamies who read this go try the PTR and try the changes then give blizzard your input.
