For a non raider are these good? Im thinking they are but i wanted to run them past you all for a second opinion. For a enhancement Shaman with this build of course http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/shaman/talents.html?0000000000000000000050050001550013353115105230301300000000000 Head -- [Dream-Wing Helm] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27888 Shoulder -- [Wyrmfury Pauldrons] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28344 Chest -- [Shard-Encrusted Breastplate] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27823 Waist -- [Archery Belt of the Broken] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27541 Legs -- [Emerald-Scale Greaves] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28219 Feet -- [Sky-Hunter Swift Boots] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27915 Wrist -- [Emerald eye Bracer] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27494 Hands -- [Hungerhide Gauntlets] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27745 Finger 1 -- [Ravenclaw Band] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27925 Finger 2 -- [Lightwarden's Band] Aldor rep ring revered http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29128 Neck -- [Enchanted Thorium Torque] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28321 Trinket 1 -- [Fetish of the Fallen] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27416 Trinket 2 -- [Hourglass of the Unraveller] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28034 Cape -- [Cloak of the Inciter] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27892 Weapon 1 -- [Demonblood Eviscerator] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27533 Weapon 2 -- [Stellaris] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28263 Both Weapons -- [Potency] +20 Strength (shamans get 2 AP per str so thats 40 ap extra per weapon) Head Chant -- [Glyph of Ferocity] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29192 Shoulder chant -- [Greater Inscription of Vengeance] http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28888 Chest Chant -- +6 to all stats Wrist -- Enchant Bracer - Brawn (12 str) Gloves -- Enchant Gloves - Assault (26 ap) Legs -- Nethercobra Leg Armor (50 ap and 12 crit rating) Feet -- Enchant Boots - Fortitude ( 12 stam ) Blue Gem 1 [Sovereign Nightseye] +4 Strength +6 Stamina Blue gem 2 [Sovereign Nightseye] +4 Strength +6 Stamina Yellow gem [Wicked Noble Topaz] (8 ap and 4 crit rating) grand totals Str - 66 Agil - 202 stam - 252 intel - 169 spr - 6 hit - 74 AP - 768 crit - 127 Mana/5 - 24 dodge 21 Now take into account that 66 str for a shaman is 132 ap so 768 AP + 132 AP = 900 AP ( not taking into account whatever AP you get from your weapons damage) This does not include spec damage increases --

Few things here: 1) Are you not including heroic loot? There are at least 5ish pieces that could get MASSIVE upgrades if you did heroics. Like heroic slave pens has the Traitor's Noose, an amazing neck piece until you start raiding, and Heroic Crypts / Underbog has the perfect offhand until you can get an arena one / get into TK. Also, the desolation set (found mainly in heroics) is the best stuff you can get for your armor slots. Hit rating is a VERY VERY big deal for an enhancement shaman. Yes, you get +9% hit if you spec right (6% from DW spec, 3% from nature's guidance) however, you want to be as close to cap (24%) as possible without gimping other stats, which means getting a lot of +hit gear that still has AP on it (I.e Desolation set). +hit is your most important stat until your up there ~20% (including talents) then Str will be. 2) This is a big deal, you need a slow offhand. As slow as your main hand preferably. If this means you have to use a 66 DPS green to get good top end instead of that stellaris, then do so. Stormstrike hits with BOTH WEAPONS, having a fast OH with crap for top end ruins half your damage from this ability. Also, Windfury 5 on both weapons is still the best DPS there is. Stacking +hit so it procs often and having a slow off-hand to proc from makes it even beter. When WF procs on your off-hand, it DOES NOT take the dual wield penality, it will be as if it was procing in your main hand. Another large reason to have a good slow offhand. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27872 is the best one, found in heroic crypts. However, if you'd rather PvP your way to a good weapon without a rep grind, http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28944 is nice as well. Either way, slow off-hand, high top end is a BIG DPS difference. 3) Trinket 1: Abacus of Violent Odds from regular Mechanar (and the hourglass which you already have mentioned) are the best trinkets an enhancement shaman can use until quite awhile later. SSC type later. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28288 Other that that, the stuff if pretty solid. Spec wise, I have a suggestion http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/shaman/talents.html?0000000000000000000050250021250213353115150230301000000000000 Healing Grace really won't be needed, you can't put out the heal numbers to actually pull threat as enhancement. Also, 5% less mana while healing won't help you as much as healing yourself faster when you DPS. DPS gets last priority on heals, so getting a heal on yourself faster helps immensely. Also, taking a couple out of anticipation (you shouldn't be tanking I hope!) and putting them into enhancing totems and improved weapon totems will greatly help yourself and whatever group you happen to be in. I left mental quickness solely because next patch, that is going to be an AMAZING TALENT (if you don't know, the talent is going to increase your spell damage by 30% of your attack power as well as reduce mana costs). For now, its absolute crap, but I like planning for the future so I left it there for now. With just a few tweaks like stacking more +hit and getting a slower offhand for SS/WF, you'll notice a huge DPS increase. The gear stuff listed is mostly marginal DPS upgrades you can choose to prioritize last. However, the former is very important to making enhancement shaman DPS worth a spot compared to the other DPS classes. --

right on. thanks lam. Actually a few of those pieces are from heroics. But yeah what you have linked is rock solid as well. thanks =) It really is a toss up between some good ol elementalism spec or the enhance...but right now enhance is more appealing due to the fact that i always am a caster -calaban- --

well also on another note...my toon is naked. So i have to regear anyways. *shakes head* no dont ask hehe. And to get into heroics i need some marginally good gear...the stuff i linked will get me into said heroics. Also im only keyed for one place and thats Anicoiudon ( however you spell it) 2k from revered with HH and 1k from revered with CE. I need to do keepers of time and all that also. On another note you mentioned slow offhands and stuff. So what about if i got the same weapon for both hands...oh something like this and then put the 20Str chants on them.. http://thottbot.com/i23542 just need to find someone with four nethers >.> and can craft two of them.. --
