Shadow Priest PvE Guide :: Legion Patch 7.3.2

[@kayinzel5183]

Great video, thoroughly explained all the key points and spoke very clearly. One of the best class guides i have watched in a while, keep up the good work. You gained a sub today, hope you make a video detailing how you change it up for keystone runs with the changes in talents as of 7.3.5.

[@darthenx2585]

We really appreciate your videos Publik! Thanks again man!!

[@Nyjarz23]

Dude we would all be lost without you, long live Publik!

A+ guide, A+ Beard.

A+ comment. -Publik

[@electronurd3234]

Love the guide as always. Please please create videos for each boss with a shadow priest strategy in antorus.. I would love that.

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Good to know, definitely on my radar! -Publik

[@JohnDoe-xd9tw]

Any chance you could upload your current shadow WA? downloaded the one from link but it is not the same as what you are playing with in this video. Excellent guide btw.

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Everything uploaded is up to date here wago.io/EyUUYYTWG I have weak auras on my page related to shadow, but i do not use them directly. The one's I use on my priest in this video are 100% accurate and uploaded. -Publik

[@JohnDoe-xd9tw]

Ok thx

[@filiperdrz]

Great video! What about a pvp guide? I find it very hard to perform the rotations while being attacked and having to counter attack.

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Unfortunately I have very little to no pvp experience. Sorry! -Publik

[@TheExodiaz]

Good shit, thanks for the effort you and H2P put in! Currently very happy and proud of how my priest is performing and it's all thanks to the resources you and H2P share with the community. Liked :)

[@dannyboy340]

Man I love that UI

[@MostAwsomestFlute]

ive looked all over and i cant find a bar for mind flay with the ticks in it.... either im an idiot or im just not looking in the right spots. can someone point me to it? ill keep looking but that would be helpful!

If you use the Quartz casting addon it comes baked in by default! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooCYl396qrmSoaM -Publik

[@aeon4591]

i got the prototype trinket on my priest first raid i was on. Did hell of a lot more dmg then thurmble (or whatever the spear of anguish trinket was called). Procs so often and does about 10% of the dmg in total. Its super high (most likely a dmg nerf or proc nerf in the future, if they even care at this point to balance trinkets since raiding is "over")

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Yeah that's what I've seen! Have yet to get it on my priest yet :( -Publik

[@mendelsonja]

One thing i'd have noted, you mentioned using it in m+....it can be a hazardous trinket to use in m+ when you get unpredictable 20 yd range aoe...make sure if you're using it in a situation where there are nearby mobs you might accidentally pull that you stand within 10 yds of your target so that it does not proc and you don't get unexpected adds....i might have unintentionally pulled coristalax (or whatever the robot boss is in arcway) while trying to apply my dots before MC'ing the mob to delay the haste bubble

[@benjaminclausing5104]

ty for the guide but i have a specific question: i have a 865 arcano, 915 terror from below with socket, 940 thurible with socket , norgannon 955 and a 910 haste stat trinket. i experimented alot but i cant tell which of those combinded is best - i even tried t21 4 set with arcano and the haste stat ( only shoulders and soul of highpriest as useful legys) so im a bit trapped - can you tell me what i can do? with t20 4 set i am arround 13.4k haste

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Norgannon + Thurible is pretty much better in all cases with T20 4set. If you opt to use T21 4set and you are below 15k haste you should use the stat stick/arcano trinkets to reach it as 15k haste is your #1 goal with T21 4set. Hope this helps -Publik

[@miroslavsedlak1388]

Any update on the dungeon/M+ guide?

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Still trying to get footage from as wide a variety of dungeons as possible. Aiming for Feb. -Publik

[@JavierCautivo]

This is so helpful and it's so well explained, thank you so much!

[@Looking_For_That_Blessed_Hope7]

does it matter if ive been using hidden satyr? or is mark of the claw WAY better in all situations?

[@Looking_For_That_Blessed_Hope7]

also i do not have belt of sephuz. i have been using SotHP and shoulders. im 11 leggos in so i have other options. am i gimping myself by pairing shoulders and SotHP?

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Claw is decently better in most situations yes, not using it in favor of satyr isn't a huge deal though. As far as not having belt sephuz and using sothp shoulders puts you about 5-6% dps behind having sephuz belt. More info here: howtopriest.com/viewtopic.php?f=120&t=10557 -Publik

[@Havs17]

Thank you for your guides Publik, following you since 7.1 guides Could you tell me what addon are you using for raid frames?

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Raid frames is shadowed unit frames! -Publik

[@ayylmao2402]

Good guide! Quick question,does damaging low health adds with mindsear proc twist of fate?

[@Mythricia1988]

Any damage on a low% target procs it, so yes Mind Sear is a really useful way of keeping ToF running on fights like Antorus High Command, or Portal Keeper etc

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Mythricia is exactly correct here, mind sear absolutely procs twist of fate in this case. -Publik

[@amykid92]

FINALLY!!! Cheers man, and thank you!

[@aronschur517]

Love all the effort u put into our beautifull spec (class)! Keep up the good work buddy. Very clear guide, well explained. One quick question, what do you think about going full hardcore minMAXMAX in dungeons changing gear sets for different kind of trash and bosses? Or do you (like me) prefer to have 1 solid gear set that is confortable in all fights concidering our rotation does not really change with more targets :)

[@ExiledPowerUS]

I think its a good idea to swap trinkets/legendaries, but other than that i don't. For example, I'll use Spectral Thurible during trash, but swap to a single target trinket like Owl or Terror for bosses. M+ video guide coming after the holidays! -Publik

[@aronschur517]

Exactly swapping spectral and terror is the only thing worth it in my opinion, the changes are simply too tiny to be worth it. And then there is the fact we love chainpulling to keep voidform up, so downtime between boss/trash/boss/trash won't happen that ofter preferably. Enjoy the holidays! Shadowpriest power continues in 2k18

[@stratcaster4729]

Excellent summary of SP in 7.3.2

[@LaptopmenaceMTK]

I think this would be a great video. I just started investing time and effort into priest, and I would really like to see someone do a commentary video on gear swapping and talent changes in a mythic dungeon or raid

[@alicanandirin3157]

Hey, first of all, i really appreciate the whole H2P teams effort put in for the community. I'd like to ask you one thing tho. I can reach the 16k haste goal with the new 4 set only, however t20 4 set and t21 2set has a significant more dps increase even with like 12-13k haste. 16k haste gives me the fluid 1min rotation but i give up like 100-120k dps on a ST fight, and more often than i'd like to admit, i find myself dropping out of voidform way too early, or like mindbender still swinging and i sit there waiting for a better voidform. I am really inclined on using the old setup, as in t20 4set-t21 2 set, but is there any circumstances where the new 4 set and 16k haste reigns over the old one? Thanks in advance.

[@ExiledPowerUS]

ilevel plays a big role in what you should use. Check this out for more information: howtopriest.com/viewtopic.php?f=120&t=10589&p=81495 -Publik

[@pinkfishface6360]

what are your add-on,s that you use like one you get from curse

[@lezyne9301]

How did you do the Enemy Castbar in the top middle? :)

[@ExiledPowerUS]

That's just done with Quartz (addon). Just move the enemy cast bar to the desired location! -Publik

[@Junukero]

Thanks for the a pretty good guide :3

[@DennisFurlong]

I hate to ask it, loved the guide. But how much would you say your MS/connection influences how well you do? As someone who raids US but is living in Germany for the next 6ish months...I am sitting at 120 MS (give or take a little). I sim my character on multiple boss types and still cant get anywhere close to what I feel like I should be pulling.

[@ExiledPowerUS]

going over 100ms can be hard, but it doesnt make it impossible. I would say lean on either using t20 more, or getting even more haste to combat having high ms. Make sure if you are simming you are using magicsim and not raidbots! -Publik

[@beholdthecorruption597]

i dunno how you play with all those horrid addons, but great guide! thanks

[@daviddesainde3276]

Quick question! When you get tier 21 and 16k haste! Is it better To go for crit or mastery for better dps ?

[@Metetron]

ItsmeDavid Crit all the way.

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Yup, Metewat is correct. With T21 Priority is roughly 16k haste > Crit > Haste to 17k > Versatility > Mastery > Haste over 17k > Intellect -Publik

[@houlberg92]

Is mindblast the very first spell you cast on a boss?

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Yes, Arcane Torrent when pull timer starts -> pre pot at -2 -> mind blast at -1.5 -> vt -> swp -> mind blast -> flay till void eruption -Publik

[@TheMegamorge]

Great vid, thanks pub!

[@CTkidney1]

What is a good % of haste to go for?

[@ExiledPowerUS]

15-17k haste is the rating you want to shoot for (% varies too much, rating is the better thing to pay attention to). This amount REQUIRES the belt and sephuz legendaries, if you don't have those you'll want 18k+ to make the rotation work. A good measure to know if you have "enough" haste is if you can consistently hit 51-55 stack voidforms. -Publik

[@pinkfishface6360]

is there auto casting now

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Nope no autocasting! You are probably just seeing my TrufiGCD addon, which displays my current casts. -Publik

[@pinkfishface6360]

thank you

[@chuckganapolis8212]

why not use shoulders instead of belt?

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Shoulders are definitely close overall, but generally speaking only do well when you can constantly hit adds which isn't always an option. The other thing that hurts the shoulders is that it is in a tier slot, meaning you can't use 6pc and you limit your 4pc options. Check out the legendary analysis post for more info: howtopriest.com/viewtopic.php?f=120&t=10557 -Publik

[@TayakoHell]

Is it ok to drop 15k haste with t20 to 13k haste with t21?

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Running 13k haste with T21 is not worth it, you shouldn't use it until you have 15-17k haste. A way to test it is, can you still sustain the 1min voidform? -Publik

[@TayakoHell]

Nope I cant. But with t20 and 15k haste i can do it (most of the time at least, because of ms sometimes I drop a bit earlier). I'll keep it then, thanks Publik!

[@omarabdullah603]

great video !!!!

[@chuckganapolis8212]

I understand to take the cookie cutter talents but nobody ever explains the math as to why you should take AS over Sanlayn for example.

[@Sly92gaming]

Chuck Ganapolis the reason why we take AS is because it help us with insanity generation to maintain the 1 min voidforms also the talent has a great synergy with crit build which is what we're using in this tier. Now if you wanna see the math behind it you can find some spreadsheets on howtopriest site.

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Short answer is that AS gives us insanity, which helps us stay in voidform longer. And staying in voidform longer is far and beyond our best source of damage. Here is the talent sim breakdown if you are curious: i.imgur.com/stkKUbg.png -Publik

[@wollybenson6726]

Your talking bout priest that are 110 but mine is only 86 you should talk bout lower lvls to and what they need

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Most of the game population is at level cap, so i cater to them. The spec does not play in a complete way otherwise and would change every 5 levels. -Publik

[@KarmaofOminit]

Thanks so much. It was really helpful. DrNym/Hyjal

[@Jakkeen]

Exiled Power is a Mythic Raiding Guild on Arthas -> only has 1 mythic down xD

[@ExiledPowerUS]

Only raid 6 hours a week bro.

[@Xcitng1988]

Mythic raiding guild that's killed a mythic boss, whats the issue?

[@aeon4591]

dogos are annoying in mythic. Shit happenes = wipe raid. Nature of boss mechanics. mythic guild doesnt = kills everything really easy. Just means that the guild progress in mythic.

[@shoobror8291]

@Jakkeen Stfu virgin :P
