As someone who only just got into World of Warcraft I can't tell you how happy I am I found this video. All of the other "Legion Shadowpriest Tutorials" drown you in over complicated information while they use modded UI's that look like spreadsheets. This is the first video I understood, and it made the world of difference. Now I know what I'm doing, thank you!

[@anboniwow]

beat me to it but it's interesting to see how different the sp meta is in NA :o

[@Luke-og6jh]

Yeah is anyone playing void shield anymore?

[@farmerk9425]

'sup bitch? :D make some videos

[@Linxryan1]

I like your guides more you should still make it

[@ezib2547]

anboniwow yeah, same thought

[@anboniwow]

It's 5am and I'm rendering a sp rp guide meme video, while commenting on xaryu's sp guide video thing.

[@Alaithian]

Oh man at 5:20 "Instant cast shadow word death" - spell lights up

[@sidnasty4870]

Love the guide. Positioning and kiting tips would be the icing on the cake.

[@newato321]

My first char in wow was a priest but i stop playing him for a long time. Now i start playing him again and u`r guide helps me a lot with the restart on my shadow^^

[@brandonwoodard367]

HELL YEAH! i been waiting a long time for this josh dawg u didnt forget me fam. Awesome video bro keep it up

[@tstRdaBrute]

These guides of yours are rly helpfull very appreciated specially ppl who came back after a break as myself. I also would love to see tldr videos on mid season if blizz nerfing/buffing something + if some new setups comes up or existing ones decay or improve drasticly just a few minutes tldr versions like 6min or so class wise for those class you play. Just an idea! Keep it up the good work! cheers

[@Dleifocs]

you can do insane pressure with pure shadow, if you play a comb where you wont get focused you should try it out

[@finnbalur7444]

Hey dude when are you going to continue about what to watch for series??

[@Zlyy0]

another important thing about shadow priest in pvp. you take 20% more physical damage in voidform because you techinacally leave shadow form. i know that might be common knowledge but it can be hard to catch.

[@Chunchum553]

Xaryu: most under rated WoW youtuber

[@rank0448]

xaryu do u update ur addons? and what do u do if there isnt 7.3 addons like for Omnibar do u use 7.2.5 v in 7.3?

[@Yusuf-yh1jn]

Well I main a Shadow aswell. What about LI + SI and PS + SM ?

[@JonaPark97]

Anybody know the party member 1 and 2 macros for using power word shield?

[@Constantine91]

that critter that you summon doesnt die in 1 hit?

[@Neontrain]

I was gravitating towards Pure Shadow since Void Shield does not work with any damage from Vampiric Touch. Is it still worth it?

[@Valeij221]

What do you think about Initiation + Psychic link? i find it pretty well to start out the rot. especially in rbgs

[@niclasunger6912]

Why the drastic change? Mage to Rogue i really do understand. But from those to shadow?

[@niclasunger6912]

Good to here its all about having fun!

[@MrJamedawg]

so when do you void torrent and shadow fiend? literally did not even mention those lol

[@drekilla930]

hey xaryu what about void torrent? your artifact weapon?

[@swalls92]

I get more positive feedback when I am not trying to execute all the time. I play Spriest as a support class as well.

[@masihsn2158]

love these guides

[@erimkies]

What keybinds are you using for your macros?

[@wesxo6257]

when should i be using void torrent? on cd?

[@Alexrx8]

@xaryu what void shift macros do u use?

[@ldce5726]

Bro, ur have a some macro or shit for spam SW:pain in manny targets? or just with ur mouse? or overmouse?

[@seankeating3933]

man I hate priests but xar always bringin that heat

[@AlvenGaming]

You've just gained a new subscriber. :) Really enjoyed your video and your explainations, I was really looking into video like this. As a holy paladin it is quiet challanging to try pvp as shadow priest for me. Hopefuly your video will help me break the ice. :) Peace.

[@StraiyEU]

when and how do u use the artifact abillity?

[@trysephiroth007]

What about Void Torrent?

[@GamerxxJay]

How much has changed for 8.0.5?

[@darkcel]

Did you pick UD race instead of BE for a reason?

[@darkcel]

Thank you so much for responding! Why is UD better for Holy/ Disc if you don't mind me asking.

[@lobsterpete8632]

Xaryu can u show us ur keyboard on stream!

[@ridikapo6773]

Mindbomb or fear when i play godcomb ?

[@prshr6145]

Great vid dude. Keep it up

[@DaSaint79]

Why are all SP Undead?

[@Nenonism]

Xaryu your the number one!

[@Taskov81]

Nice do a disc priest guide for arena there is none out there🙃

[@zurry4113]

7.3.5 guide?

[@god_skaw8680]

i can hear dilly poo from here crying for shadow priest nerfs

[@RiptorrZ]

Hey Xaryu, i can barely hear your voice in your videos if i don't have headphones, i'd recommend you turn the volume just a bit (Just my thoughts, you don't HAVE to, and no, i can't get headphones)

[@karfiolfulu]

what amazing beard again

[@TheBrunozxc]

Is this still viable in 7.3.2 / 7.3.5? :)

[@martinberg7649]

you know you can make those silence macros look alot easier right all you got to do is type /cast [@arena1] silence no need for typing the target=arena1 thingy :D about other then that nice to see some shadow PvP guides agian :D

[@Seph.ackerman]

Thanks for that one, well done! :>

[@osty5150]

I don't even play Spriest but watched this vid because (1) >you< made it so i knew it would be insightful and (b) i wanted to learn what they are doing when i play against them - So thx broseph for sharing this vid.

[@romascopa8461]

Dope guide. Doubled my dmg in bgs after watching lol

[@MIngalls]

I don't think the rotation is whats difficult. Its surviving 2-3 melee's on you. Not as tanky as a lock but just as little mobility...

[@vazgod]

coulda touched on purging with dispel offensively (temp shields/barriers/) you prob play with shammys so dont worry bout it much but shrug good shit tho

[@paraskamu]

YAY AT LONG LAST!

[@benefitproject6860]

Hey Mate awesome video's, don't need Skillcapped anymore with guys you like going so far into even gameplay :) could you upload maybe like two games where you as SP are trained by double melee on a small and big map? cos as SP has zero mobility while being trained i suffer big time :D thanks man!!!

[@nex7053]

Sorry, but I don't see any heal from void shield talent :D .. 35k on mind blast :D .. totaly worth it :D

[@Rays57CR]

Dying through disperse from 60% hp? Oh you mean turbo cleave

[@swalls92]

Generally, that's the build I like to go with man. (Alienwitness) If I know who I am playing with and I'm not up 3/4 of the night playing.

[@kiwi5891]

pls do a disc priest pvp guide, notice me senpai !

[@MistahTeeLecksAhFly]

Hey, Xaryu I have a question, for arenas (2's) what do u think of a DH tank and monk windwalker? so far we win about 80-90% of the time.. just wanted ur opinion on it

[@nickbanderson]

80-90% winrate? Must be top 5 on the ladder with any decent amount of games played. Grats dude.

[@oake5869]

So me and my buddy are facing this hunter/ret fuckers. And we get his bubble, immedietly both me and my warlock start casting md/chaos bolt, and we oneshot the paladin. Without voice. I just wanted to say that we just made the coolest play in the universe, you are all inferior

[@lucasliebetrau1431]

Surrender to madness = OP AF LOL XD

[@swalls92]

Heal dots is just easier though, hey?

[@RaimaNd]

Shadows with balls are playing surrender to madness! :P Btw. did you forget the artefact talent (void torrent) or did I missed that? You said not using mind flay as far as possible, but what is with void torrent? Anyway, good guide and good video as always. =)

[@PJSM94]

RaimaNd It's not really ballsy to take spell that can't even be used in Arenas.

[@RaimaNd]

Jed Miller You sir, have no sense for sarcasm.

[@GoomBayBee]

Neither of you seem to understand his question rofl...void torrent is your artifact spell that stops insanity drain.

[@lucg6433]

Wth would you ever play auspicious spirit ? Prob NA strat 🤔 we'll see at Blizzcon which meta is best Keepo

[@tracerx91]

xarYeah!

[@yen2562]

2 mind blasts????

[@7Xorcist]

HT Player legendary waist I think

[@MixtapeXx]

hell ya great video

[@Rades99]

Should probably mention in the title that this is for PvP not PvE

[@PJSM94]

Twiceasnice it's pretty damn obvious when he brings up Arenas every sentence and goes over honor talents, you inbred.

[@yuribauer1482]

xaryu i love you

[@Regnak112]

there are keybinds for /tar party or /tar self, l2p m8 :)

[@Matrix-zo2so]

This should be interesting.

[@GoomBayBee]

Heeeeeey gaaaizzz Zarrryooo heeerrreee

[@koeteln]

boomkin! pls^^ i want to be the very best owl... teach me xaryu senpai

[@nullprop]

Budget Ice Poseidon

[@MakashiOwns]

Hmm. I'm a little disappointed to not here you talk about taking Power Infusion in your single target burst builds, because honestly the Haste isn't there to "save you globals." If you use "saved globals" obviously Misery is gonna do better. But Haste accelerates your DoT ticks, which - among other things - accelerates how fast damage accumulates, AND since in burst builds you like to play Shadowy Insight, would feed you more Mind Blast procs. Also, you have literally made whole videos on how it's not about who you damage, or how much damage, but when you do damage, talking about when a comp should be on standby mode. So hearing you denigrate Power Infusion as a matter of "saving globals" when really it's a way to hypothetically squeeze in a fifth global for every four you usually get (I think the percentage of Haste translates that directly?) seems a bit weird, since Power Infusion could readily be seen as what you use for the "when" part of dealing damage. Also strikes me as a little strange that you've seen no real use for Last Word; does the Silence really never seem helpful on, say, a go on a Boomkin, allowing you to double tap silences on them to stop them from peeling or interrupting, while letting you and your DPS partner put Silence and interrupt on the healer instead? I could totally see it falling way behind the unique utility and high pressure of Void Shift & Psyfiend, I just figure that maybe there are a few places it could be used. Also, does PW: S on Psyfiend not work? Because that's been a Shadow Priest trick for multiple expansions now. I'm rusty on my Shadow Priest this expansion but I've played it competitively in the past.

[@Lucyhehe_]

Kris S. They fixed shield on fiend

[@scyllastar7202]

this guy is really cute omg

[@Locko2115]

Hey I am here :)

[@Dante-mw2ez]

Yo bro silence stops ur cast anyways. Just saying. Good video though.

[@stephh5631]

Guess it's time to stop playing hpriest and play shadow

[@papabeanguy]

pvp guide*

[@clarke5479]

[@farmerk9425]

[@Roachehh]

Farmer k God forbid a r1 player masters more than once class. Get out of here lol.

[@darwiin1979]

Gang

[@vannthybun2546]

You're cute 😍

[@bosspaw4028]

Intro is as cringy as ever I see!

[@kory3122]

It's always like that. Makes me not want to watch most of the time.

[@shabirparwaz]

Kinda waste of 22 minutes and 19 seconds youtube space. Anboni already did make a shadowpriest guide and no one is really better than him in playing shadow priest.

[@jb04z28]

who the fuck is anboni never heard of her?

[@shownotears2103]

Sounds like a fkn random 2 me
