How this data is collected

Every talent, stat and gear number on this page is drawn from real Mythic+ runs recorded this season, so it shows what players actually do rather than theory. To keep the picture focused on how Elemental Shaman is played at the highest level, only the hardest keys are counted. For each dungeon we look up the highest keystone level anyone has completed, across every class and spec, and then include every run from there down to 5 levels below it, giving the 6 highest key levels of that dungeon. The hardest key completed anywhere this season so far is a +20 in Den of Nalorakk, so there every run of +15 and above is counted. Each dungeon uses its own top key, so a quieter one keeps a lower band. In Ruby Life Pools, for example, the hardest key so far is a +19, so its runs start from +14 instead. The sample keeps refreshing as new high keys are posted, so the numbers track how the spec is being played right now rather than averaging the whole season. On top of that, the talent, gear and stat breakdowns are built from a rolling window of roughly the last two weeks, so they stay in step with recent tuning and meta shifts. Run totals and key levels still cover the full season.

Talents

Most Elemental Shaman players build into the Farseer hero tree. The tree below is the build they run at the highest keys, and the percentage under each talent is how often it is picked. Most of it is a fixed core. The talents sitting near 100% are taken by almost everyone, so the real decisions are the flexible picks that players swap from dungeon to dungeon. This build barely changes between dungeons. Open Talents per Dungeon below for the few tweaks that do show up.

Stat Priority

Stat priority is the order in which Elemental Shaman players value their secondary stats, based on what the highest-key players actually carry on their gear. Most prioritize Mastery, followed by Crit, Haste and Versatility. Intellect is your main stat and comes mostly from item level, so a higher-item-level piece is almost always an upgrade. Use this order as a guide when choosing between similar items, gems and enchants, not as a hard rule.

Gear Overview

This section lists the gear that Elemental Shaman players equip most often in those high keys, broken down slot by slot. For each slot the most popular item is shown first with its alternatives underneath, and the percentage next to each item tells you how common that choice is. It is a snapshot of what is being played, not a guaranteed upgrade for your character, so always simulate your own character before committing to gear changes. You can do that with Raidbots Top Gear.
