The Shaman ranks among the most versatile classes in World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery. So long as you have the gear to match, Shaman players can fill any of the three major roles.
World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery infused the Classic version of Azeroth with new items, questlines, and mechanics, such as Runes. With more playstyles than ever, Shamans can fill their usual DPS or healer role, but also experiment as a tank. To make any of these builds work however, you need to find the proper gear.
Phase two introduced a boatload of new gear, primarily stemming from the reworked 10-person Gnomeregan instance. No matter your Shaman spec, below are the pieces of gear that you should hunt in phase two.
Enhancement Shaman DPS BiS gear in WoW SoD
Enhancement Shamans have more choice than ever in World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery, as this spec can be used to either pursue a melee DPS or the relatively new tank build.
Although Enhancement tanks and DPS have some overlap regarding their BiS gear in phase two, DPS builds ultimately need to prioritize Crit and Agility:

Healing Shaman BiS gear in WoW SoD
With powerful burst heals such as Chain Healing, Restoration Shamans have always been among the best healers in World of Warcraft. Season of Discovery is no different, as Runes and gear dropped in phase two have only worked to power up Restoration Shamans even further.
Restoration Shamans prioritizes Intellect-based gear first and foremost, much like Elemental Shamans, but items that give either healing or mana regeneration bonuses are even more sought after.
