WOTLK Shadow Priest Leveling Tips & Tricks To Improve Your Leveling Speed

This video contains tips on tricks on how to level more smoothly as a shadow priest. If you are among the crowds of people who have rushed to 80, this video won't necessarily be useful for you. But, if you are amongst the bulk of players who haven't hit max level yet, I would kindly ask you give the video a watch. I have so much more Shadow Priest content coming, so this will be your one stop shop! As for Shamans the same will still be true for you!

What isn't listed in the description below this video is listed in the description of this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnq9coOiqsyGb6Msi=6vOr5gi0jXQWgvaV.

I'm glad you found this helpful! :)

[@trilliance]

I just hit 30, but this was still helpful. :) I haven't played a spriest since ICC.

[@Darkest_TV]

Thank you! I'm glad it helped in a way! Any questions you have could spark a new video, so feel free to ask away. Enjoy the journey! :)

[@trilliance]

@@Darkest_TV It's hard to find good guides for these lower levels. Especially for those of us who level pretty slowly. Like I sure wish I knew where to get anything with hit on it. Found some shoulders in SM that will help me when I hit 33, but for now, it's tiresome watching myself miss in dungeons. Use my wand mostly because of that, which ... also misses. :) Anyway, I'm sure I will be revisiting this video.

[@Darkest_TV]

Hit is rough to come by early, but as shadow it helps a lot if you take the talent called "shadow focus"

[@Jorge_K]

I heard that leveling shadow priest is a good time, might give it a shot real soon!

[@Darkest_TV]

It really is! Its super efficient, the only downside is you cant do any dungeon soloing strats. But with heirlooms and mounts available if you already have an 80, it'll cruise by at the maximum level of fun. :)

[@themix4913]

What are the mods your using on the bars for enemies

[@Darkest_TV]

Plater

[@jaysonbordeaux7206]

Hi, It is a maccro to have shadow word pain instantly with your vampire touch ?

[@Darkest_TV]

Nah, i just press them in immediate succession so they land at the same time

[@mattkreais8240]

Oh god im outta levitaty thingies!! Lol that alone got a video like outta me

[@Darkest_TV]

Haha thanks so much! :)

[@mattkreais8240]

I laughed because I've been there..

[@Darkest_TV]

Haha glyph of levitate is true BiS. XD

[@yhukiyamazaki1917]

Im struggling in finding where to I got to for my next quest? Currently level 36 and i dont know where to go next t:((

[@Darkest_TV]

Horde or alliance?

[@Darkest_TV]

The higher level quests of STV are great for this level range. Otherwise Arathi Highlands or even Alterac Mountains. The the quest density on the latter is a bit lack luster

[@yhukiyamazaki1917]

@@Darkest_TV horde, troll

[@Darkest_TV]

Any of those suggestions work for you? Otherwise you can do some desolace.... or the southern part of 1k needs if u havent done that yet.

[@imakrewitatl]

Someone please help me im a returning player sinse the first release of wotlk and im struggling so fuckin hard to finish quests (even the green ones) with my shadow priest. I dont remember it being so hard to kill lower lvl enemies and if theres TWO of em forget about it! Am i just `tarded or did they scale up the difficulty or something? Help a brutha out!

[@Darkest_TV]

I actually ran into someone with almost this same question not long ago. It will depend what level you are, but their issue was that they didn't rank up their spells. Also buying decent gear with spellpower goes a long way. Spirit gives you a lot of longevity and stamina gives you great survivability. Beyons that for lower levels a good wand goes miles. And outside of those things the rest should be in the guide.

[@phil2263]

I'm 71 and struggling to not die when pulling more than 2 mobs. Even with 2, I feel like the mana and health drain is rough. VE -> SW:P -> MB and then usually DP to heal for >1 mobs How do you sustain 3+??

[@Darkest_TV]

Heavy spellpower is your goal here. I recommend getting all the spellpower you can with buffs and making sure you have the improved vampiric embrace talent. Its an absolute must. Also again maintaining inner fire is crucial. Honestly itll be worth it to take the trip to the auction house to buy northrend greens with spellpower if you can too.

[@Darkest_TV]

What kind of gear are you using?

[@phil2263]

@@Darkest_TV I'm in the boosted lvl 70 gear which isn't great, but about the same as Howling Fjord 70 quests are giving me. Inner fire definitely makes a difference thanks for that tip. Maybe I'll stay away from multi mobs until I get more gear. Don't have gold for spending on the greens

[@Darkest_TV]

@@phil2263 perhaps a good call, but it does seem a bit like you're using too much for one mob with the rotation you described. It's awkward to ask because I don't want this to sound rude, but are you in shadow form? Single mob rotation should be, VT, SW: P , MB, MF and at that point most single target mobs should be at 1/4th health where you can just let them slow die to dots for mana efficiency and start the rotation on the next target.

[@Darkest_TV]

@@phil2263 also the boosted gear makes you a bit of a glass cannon so definitely look to get quest greens with HP SP and Spirit asap to help the rest of your levels

[@kxppy610]

What is your nameplate addon?

[@Darkest_TV]

I use Plater. It is customized to my liking so it wont look like that out of the box
