The Egregious TBC Elemental Shaman Progressive BiS Guide
Egregious • Updated June 2, 2025
This progressive BiS guide will cover how to build an Elemental Shaman in TBC from T4 to Sunwell. The guide includes BiS lists, gems, and explanations.
T4 BiS
- There is no profession cycling in TBC. You can choose two, and only two, professions to receive benefits from. This means LW and Enchanting offer the most benefit to you and your raid, as you cannot pick up and drop professions to obtain more than two profession benefits.
- No WB, world drop or Season 1 gear is considered.
- Remember to have both Chain of the Twilight Owl and Eye of the Night for neck twisting.
Neck twisting is the act of having both JC necks in tandem with another player. You activate one while the second player activates the other thereby providing your party with both neck buffs simultaneously. After the buff expires in 30 minutes, you and the other player running necks swap and activate the second neck. During the 30 minutes the buff is active you cannot remove the neck that applied the buff, or the buff will fall off you and your party members. This means if you die you must continue to wear the neck so as not to remove it from those party members in your group who still have it active.
