Best Elemental Shaman builds

Loadouts last read November 5, 2026. Each build links into the calculator above with every point already placed.
Solo Shuffle: 100 top players, best rating 3069
No identical build is run by more than 4 of these 100 players, so the loadouts below are the real ones that sit closest to what most of them take.
