Elemental Shaman Stat Priority

This page ranks Elemental Shaman secondary stats by how top Mythic raid and Mythic+ players actually distribute their gear rating, based on real parses, not simulation weights. The percentages below are the average share of total secondary stat rating worn on each stat. In raid, Critical Strike leads at 34.6%, followed closely by Mastery at 34.1%, then Haste at 27.4%, and Versatility at 4.0%. In Mythic+, Critical Strike is even more dominant at 39.8%, with Mastery at 31.7%, Haste at 24.9%, and Versatility at 3.6%. The resulting priority string for raid is Crit > Mastery > Haste > Vers. The key takeaway: Critical Strike and Mastery are nearly equal in raid, but Crit pulls ahead in Mythic+. Haste is a solid third, while Versatility is clearly de-emphasized. Use these numbers as a guide for gearing decisions—when choosing between items, favor stats with higher percentages, but remember that these are averages, not strict breakpoints.
