Best Crafted Gear
Best Embellishments
- You can't go wrong with crafting a strong weapon at the start of the season as long as you add the Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension and Writhing Armor Banding to another non-tier armor piece to maximize your DPS.

Restoration

Best Embellishments
- There are two ways you can approach crafting a weapon. You can go for a 2H from the get-go or if you get lucky and get a nice main-hand weapon, craft a shield to better utilize your available crests and Spark of Fortunes.
- Afterwards, crafting a non-tier item can substantially increase the effect of the Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension through the Writhing Armor Banding.
And that covers everything you should know when it comes to crafted gear for the Shaman Class in Season 2 of The War Within. Most of the information has been taken from Wowhead where you can check out their other guides, here.
