World of Warcraft: Forever launches on November 4, 2026. Raids unlock on December 9, 2026.

All classes

Shaman: best in slot at level 20

Elemental · Enhancement · Restoration

The best gear a level 20 Shaman can wear in Forever, for every spec, with two alternatives for each slot and where every piece comes from.

How the lists are made: only gear a Shaman can wear at level 20, and only pieces we know a source for or that have turned up in the game. Each piece is scored by the spec's stat priority. The lists are built from the game's own data, so they change as the beta does.

Elemental

Stat priority: Hit > Nature damage > Spell power > Critical strike > Intellect

Use a two-hander, or a main hand and an off hand: whichever adds up to more for you.
