World of Warcraft Season of Discovery Phase 1 has a lot of things to consider regarding the individual strength of all of the classes, so we will examine the best options in terms of items, talents, and runes for Enhancement DPS Shamans given the current meta.
Although the devs have been quite quick to adjust imbalances in each class, this guide should help you get a general idea of how to best utilize the kits Shamans have so you can make use of the elements to bring some huge damage to your group.
We will provide the best talents, runes, gear, etc. for WoW SoD Phase 1 currently so you can have an easier time clearing the new Blackfathom Deeps Raid and do PvP in Ashenvale like it's nothing. Let's get started!

WoW SoD Phase 1 Enhancement DPS Shaman Talents
Since there is a level 25 cap during Phase 1, you will only have access to 16 talent points, so these picks should serve you well for the time being:
WoW SoD Phase 1 Enhancement DPS Shaman Runes
With all of the Shaman runes having been discovered, we can take a look at the best ones.
Shamans are a great class in Season of Discovery and by using these runes, you will be able to deal a lot of damage and help out your group.
Enhancement DPS Shaman Runes
![ability_dualwield.webp](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/articles/art_YTHpBjeRTH/art-img_dO7P-cMG7/1x.webp)
Chest
Dual Wield Specialization
- Improves dual wielding
![ability_shaman_lavalash.webp](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/articles/art_YTHpBjeRTH/art-img_Vh9QAwT_o/1x.webp)
Hands
Lava Lash
- Good burst damage
![spell_nature_shamanrage.webp](https://cdn.gameleap.com/images/articles/art_Pu3ywuuv24/art-img_XbJlkIRAv/1x.webp)
LEGs
Shamanistic Rage
- Group-wide mana regeneration
This setup allows you to use both two-handed axes and mace like Smite's Mighty Hammer or go for dual-wielding. If you do not use Smite's Mighty Hammer, you can remove one talent point from Two-Handed Axes and Maces and invest it in any other talent depending on what you will need in your encounters.
If you use a two-handed weapon, you do not need the rune Dual Wield Specialization, but there is no really good alternative for a chest rune, tough. You can also try out the rune Shield Mastery so you can switch to one-handed + shield in tricky situations and help out as an off-tank.

WoW SoD Phase 1 Enhancement DPS Shaman BiS
Most of these items will come from the 10-man Blackfathom Deeps Raid, and some will be rather difficult to obtain as you will need to complete a complicated quest chain, but if you would like to maximize your damage and go for high parses, then you can try getting your hands on these items.
