Level 49 Enhancement Shaman twink build

This is a 31/0-style Enhancement core with 9 Restoration points: Thundering Strikes, Flurry, Elemental Weapons, Stormstrike and Rage of the Farseer give the kill window, while Toughness, Anticipation, Spirit Weapons and instant indoor Ghost Wolf make you much harder to pin down. The 4/5 Tidal Focus plus the two +Hit/+AP trinkets puts you around the PvP hit target without giving up the level-49 capstone.

The gear is built around the PvP toughness knee rather than pure glass cannon. The curve shows the big value point around balance 40: about 1280 HP from gear for only ~7% throughput loss; pushing to balance 50 gains another 370 HP but doubles the throughput loss to ~14%. This set keeps the offensive trinkets and weapon pressure while stacking stamina on helm, cloak, chest, bracers, boots and ring.

Key picks: Pirate's Eye Patch is excellent into fear classes, Defiler's Leather Boots give stamina plus run speed, First Sergeant's Mail Wristguards are pure PvP bulk, and Totem of Ancestral Protection improves Grounding Totem uptime. Feral Staff is chosen as the two-hander because its 3.0 speed, Strength, Agility and bonus armor fit Stormstrike brawling.

Play by prebuffing Earth Shield/Lightning Shield, using Ghost Wolf to force contact or reset, dropping Grounding/Earthbind intelligently, then committing Rage of the Farseer when you have mana and a reachable target. Stormstrike on cooldown, Frost Shock to stick, Earth Shock to finish or interrupt, and Lesser Healing Wave when low.
