Methodology
Scale factors
SimulationCraft raises each stat by a fixed amount on the default Enhancement Shaman profile, re-runs the sim, and reports the DPS change per point. That number is the stat weight, and sorting them gives the priority.
Iteration count
25,000 iterations per stat. Weights within 5% of each other are marked as ties.
Why weights drift
Stat weights describe one set of gear. Diminishing returns, breakpoints and set bonuses move them as your gear changes.

Frequently asked questions
What is the stat priority for Enhancement Shaman in Patch 12.1.0.69933?

Haste is currently the strongest secondary for Enhancement Shaman, worth 0.73 per point relative to the primary stat. Stats marked with "≈" in the priority are within 5% and effectively tied.
Does the Enhancement stat priority change for AoE or cleave?
Yes. Single target sims Haste ≈ Mastery ≈ Crit > Vers, while cleave sims Haste ≈ Mastery > Crit > Vers. Use the toggle above to compare both fight styles.
Should I gear by stat weights or just sim my character?
Use stat weights for quick calls like gems, enchants or two near-identical items. For real item decisions, sim your own character with the form above, since weights shift as your gear changes and a sim covers your exact gear, talents and set bonuses.
Why do these weights differ from my Pawn string or another guide?
Weights depend on the gear they were simmed on, the fight length, the talent build and the SimC version. This page uses the default SimulationCraft profile on the current weekly build, so a guide written earlier in the patch or a Pawn string from your own sim will differ in the decimals. The overall order usually agrees.
How often is the Enhancement Shaman stat priority updated?
Every Sunday, after the weekly SimulationCraft update. The methodology section shows the SimC build and date the current numbers come from.
