I feel like putting points into Shadow Reach is kinda a waste in PvE, points into improved VE would be more helpful for your raid, or you could put more points into Shadow Focus, which would be better for your personal DPS (less resists =more damage; you wouldn't need to sacrifice SP for hit).

Of course, that's just my two cents.

dalaraz2의 댓글

the raid belt with 1% hit is better than the pvp one.1% hit is better than 2spelldamage anyday.

Nopeboats의 댓글

Any reason the Invokers Mantle is listed and not the Inquisitor's Shaw for shoulders? Seems like the Inquisitor's Shaw is a direct upgrade and you'll want to be getting it anyways if you also play healer.

Fowled의 댓글

Are the resistances the same for all bosses in Gnomer? Going to my 4th reset where viscous fallout has multiple resists every week with 5% spell hit.

Drhankeey의 댓글

Considering the set also giving %hit, is it even a waste to put any points in Shadow Focus (instead of 2-3)? I still like to put points in this however as it helps with killing higher level mobs (soloing lv.41-44's for cloth) or higher dungeons (Uldaman), but I wonder if the full set (+ belt) negates any need for this talent.

Also depending on your raid setup I feel Imp VE is a must, it does significant healing and it's really helping the raid out. It's huge. Imp Mind Blast only need 4/5 for the 2 second reduction, whereas Shadow Weaving should be at 5/5 (at 80% you will miss some, in long fights not an issue, but it is in the early part of the fight or short fights). Shadow Reach is nice but I don't drop in all the points usually, as I also like grabbing Mind Flay for solo PVE (make sure mobs dont run away fast) and PVP.

Shadow Affinity doesn't have to be taken as long as you have a Paladin buff you with Salv, but I agree that threat is a big issue and you should be careful.

Drhankeey의 댓글

I'm confused with the tier set though, it's not mentioned here at all. Do Shadowpriests only need the Irradiated set, and shouldn't even need on the tier drops?

If you're pulling teeth tryin to get Fel Legs, are constantly being out-rolled by locks, and you have your T0.5 set, use those legs and slips, keeping your 6-piece from the other prophecy pieces.

DeathPriest의 댓글

Yo. I wanted to add some more detailed clarifications regarding this BIS page/post.
It's not updated. So let's clarify what we need in this latest phase (4/5). And how Blizz has designed things. It's simple, but a bit weird, but this BIS page is outdated! So let's dig into how to do things a bit better!

My basic history is that I've always enjoyed Shadow Priest, and saw tons of improvement-potential in the class. Far beyond what normal players saw. That's how I got many high parses, but SOD is again, very different.
While I love to see that the players have evolved, guides like this one sabotage all shadow priests world-wide because there's so much more dps to be had if you follow the basic+great steps that we wanna follow. So let's begin!
(new things in the future will make my guide outdated lol)

-

Shadow priest has been made to deal heavy damage, with 2-3 dots and a 3+1 spell cycle. To optimize and get maximum dps, we want to play into the best rotation until we can get the 6x set bonus from the Prophecy set (SOD edition, from molten core).
At lv 60, get Demonfall canyon done asap. This give you Vampiric touch. This, OR void plague, should be your rotation starter. Why? One is a 1.5 sec long cast that applies 2 great spells (vampiric embrace and vamp-touch (you gain mana/hp back from your subsequent dps done as they last)). VoidPlague has a 6 second cooldown, but does great damage. Meaning you wanna re-apply it earlier for more multi-target dps, meaning it CAN but isn't always the best starter in your rotation.
Second up, always apply SW:Pain. With the "Pain and Suffering" head rune, you arguably don't need 2 more talent points to extend it's dps for single-target nuking (as the rune refreshes all our dots, which is insane!), but that's your personal call to use the talent points or not. We CAN run dual-spec now, so we can run 2 different talent builds if we want to.

With our 4 dots on, finally we start our core-rotation. BUT WAIT. What's that? Your runes! They should be: Pain and Suffering, vampiric touch, twisted faith, DESPAIR, Shadow Word: Death, mind-Spike, Shared pain OR Humonculi, Void Plague, shadow ring enchant called "shadow specialization" just to clarify. The only mixup for more aoe dps is "Mind Sear" on gloves, due to how the "Despair" rune allow for dots to crit! I've tested with and without void-zone and it's only good in dungeons it seems.

This opens up 2 new prioritizations, but let's head back to our rotation with the clarifications out of the way. Now, we want to simply spam 3 mind-spikes and make sure we have a minimum of 9% crit. This give us an effective 99% crit for Mindblast, and next up, we of course use our blast! Your talents should be 5/5 improved MB for this, because even then, you still get 1 more global to spend on your fillers. Fillers are: Shadow word: Death / Power:word shield. devouring plague, apply other basic spells, dispell, or even re-apply dots if you see the possibility for more dps. OR another mind spike.
As soon as your blast hit, I used to do SW:death, then throw out 3 more mind-spikes.

-

All that is mentioned above is the VERY BASIC shadow priest build you can use, this is separated in dps, HEAVILY, from the 6x dps-Prophecy Molten Core set bonus. Your best way to get to the next part, which is "stage 2", is to get as many pieces as possible from the set. Initially, ANYTHING GOES! 6x prophecy, is a super-must. Try and get into as many heat 1-2-3 runs as possible to collect the pieces. But heat 3 demand pretty damn good fire resistance. Look into "fine flarecore" gear, it's great for heat 2/3.
From hereon, crit and world-buffs will really make your dps, BIG.

-

Due to mind-spike, you can in theory collect a ton of extra crit gear and only throw out 2 spikes, in order to get your 99% probable Mind-blast crit. 30%-30%-your crit% = BOOM. Theoretically, we therefore want to reach 39% crit. How? The prophecy set does some work, honestly. But world-buffs carry this home HARD. Rallying cry + songflower = 15%. If you manage to get 6x prophecy (dps), that's about 6%. And depending on the pieces, 2.3% crit from the raw set-intellect. Don't forget, 60 int = 1% crit. Dire maul north buff yield 3% more crit, and the "eye of the beast" trinket give 2% crit. Making it convenient despite how good briarwood reed is.

But what I've described above isn't enough, there are still more raid/party buffs that can and will assist you greatly. The moonkin aura give 3% more crit. "Cerebral Cortex Compound" give about 0.45% crit for an hour, to those that want to min-max. There is lastly this one raid-buff that I cannot for the life of me remember what is called, but I believe it's raid-only and it give the entire raid 10% crit and might stem from warriors. It's really what send us Shadow Priests over the edge in SOD in regard towards our high crit-cap. Please comment the name for those that wonder :) We don't NEED it, but now we are FAR above our crit cap!

There's also other smaller buffs that give us more stats = more crit. But tallying it all up, we get about 10% + 10% + 5% + 3% + 2 + 2 + 6'ish in gear = about 38%. If your raid have all of these on at all times, I'd of course recommend to use Briarwood reed instead of other pieces of gear. Alongside with Fel Infused Leggings for those that obtained this. And choose rings, neck, back and other pieces accordingly. Since we've already hit our hard-to-reach crit cap.
Your darkmoon buff must always be 10% damage btw.

-

The crit cap enhance our dps GREATLY. Which is why we ideally want our enchants to reflect this as well. Go for +9 damage on shoulders. As well as +8 dam/heal on legs and/or head as well. Shadow priests basically have INFINITE mana at the moment! Just doing the normal rotation correct, provides endless mana to you/your party. I never use mana pots/other anymore. This is why we wanna truly go MAX dps, and make sure we hit our crit-cap.

Back to our NEW, hectic, insanely FAST rotation. The 6X dps Prophecy set bonus make our Mind Flay's haste 2x! And the ticks CAN crit. This give us a super tight rotation as follows: Opening dots (1 cast, 2 dots), SW:death if you are cheeky but I dislike that. Then ONLY 2 mind-spikes, mindblast, wait a tiiiiiny bit to make sure your spike hit the target (if you stand closer, it connects faster ofc). After it hit, you gain a mindflay boost! Use one max-rank mind-flay, use shadow word: death. And now, we do 2 more mind-spikes into a new mindblast. At this point, we return to having 1 global-cooldown to spare after 2 mindspikes. Often, I use another mind-spike, but I am undead? Use Devouring plague, then I get my SW:death back in my next cycle. And then I just use 1 more mindspike as a filler next time that happens. And now it all repeats. But it's your choice what you fill that one "empty" global cooldown with.

If you truly want to min-max, get all consumables. And pick up enchanting to get "Sigil of Living Dreams" for even more dps . There's also an argument for alchemy, since "Mildly Irradiated Rejuvenation Potion" also boost your dps by 35 for 20 seconds but sacrifices your pot-use. Having 1 warlock using a pet-build also further boost our dps.

Last advice, since mana/threat is NO LONGER an issue? Stack up some stamina buffs/consumes to not die from self-inflicted SW:death damage/crits And 1k - 2k dps is easily within your grasp.

It's easier to plan your gear accordingly now. Crit = king f

DeathPriest의 댓글

After having seen people use the new Tier 2 set a bit, and looking onto forgotten and remembered gear (the BIS list above is lacking), i wanted to add my own perspective to what we wanna focus on in P5 of SOD for Shadow Priest.

Also, for whatever reason, the people that update the BIS guide above, forget to add super basic items like "카산드라의 고서" for example. An insanely good class trinket that synergizes very well with the new set bonus that is periodic. +47 damage from a trinket BIS by a lot.
However, things are now VERY different with the addition of 2 alternative (and) great trinkets.

The breakdown of why Toep often is not the bis choice, is therefore rather simple despite the math involved.
So let's go over that first. It's relevant since we got new options at play.
And you will be surprised in what trinket is actually the best, considering if a fight is short or long.

The + damage we get from 단명의 마력 부적 is 184 over 15 seconds. The coefficient factor of most spells we got, sits at 40-50% sadly. Meaning that only half-ish of the value activated, seeps trough onto the spell we attack with. It's still however, improving all spells used which is nice.
If we normalize the value to get a better picture of what "general" + damage we get over time, all i did was to match the trinket +damage values into a 120 second window
(the CD of 단명의 마력 부적).

184*15=2760 / 120(seconds) = +23 damage every second over 2 minutes.
That's over a very long time-line, pretty low. In bursts, and short fights, it's amazing though. And if we get Power-Infused? It's even better for sure.
But the sheer +damage over 2 minutes is easily beaten by 4 other trinkets, head to head.

배신의 메아리
넬타리온의 눈물
카산드라의 고서
And 가시나무 줄기.

Make of this what you will. But the longer a fight lasts, the more valuable +damage will become. Now over to why the Tear is very very good also.
These guides keep lying about how extra hit% is worthless to a shadow priest; ignoring the hard reality behind the fact that: "If you could gain a talent point by choosing an item, would you choose that item?".

The answer is ALWAYS YES. Making 넬타리온의 눈물 an item that in hard reality, GIVE us 1-2 talent points. I tend to roll with 15% hit, 2% miss is practically nothing.
We no longer have any problem anyways with HITTING our spells, since our DOT's stay on our target once it's on them with our head rune.
The issue now however, is to allocate talent points into max anti-threat, power word: shield, and still reaching picking all talents that ensure we survive whatever difficulty you run into in BWL.
With my own build, and the hit ring from rag, i am just barely able to pick all the right talents to be able to run a "safe" setup for BWL.
Using talent points to improve Power Word: Shield, is the only reliable way of doing this anyways since +heal has a stupidly 0.10% coefficient factor on that spell.
Anyways, what you choose is up to you. But know that 넬타리온의 눈물 is more useful than people would like you to believe for a shadow priest.

Our class trinket basically BIS though. Anything else you want or need, go for it if you can get it. Goes without saying also, that 배신의 메아리 is insanely good until you get the new T2 set bonus.
As well as being a better long-fight choice due to how it give you a LOT more +damage over the 105 second down-time TOEP usually demand.
--------------
But to mention it since it's very relevant and probably also pretty good, i still suspect that T1 with the correct additional pieces hit insanely well. There's a lot of additional damage to gain, additional crit to hold. It's hard to "beat" +25% damage boosts which arrive in periodic bursts. But let's normalize the new T2 effect and see if the uptime/dps gap is truly THAT large or not.
-------------
There's about a 50% chance for 정신력 누출 to proc off of any 어둠의 권능: 고통 tick with 5/5 in the talent, across the entire duration of the Tap Proc.
3-6-9-12-15 seconds pass. Tap lasts 15 seconds. The issue here, is that it's inconsistent. You won't get a 100% uptime, but you won't get a low one either with the 내면의 집중력 set-spell effect letting you activate it once every 3 minutes.

Safe to say, we really wanna start with inner focus to get the damage going. I don't see any sign or info about any internal cooldown for the new set effect to in fact proc 정신력 누출 so it makes the most sense. The rest will be a lot about dotting up several targets if we can, run our old rotation as fast as possible. Personally, i will just "forget" that i get the set-effect and focus on the fight anyways. Since it's rather meaningless to min-max it when it activates somewhat inconsistent.

However, you CAN reverse the mentality a bit and get a far larger dps output from it. Again, this is all about probability and stats for your information. Generalizations. What i explain won't always happen, but it CAN and if it does, it's sick.

We wanna start our fight as we normally does (single target). Don't waste your inner focus until your 어둠의 권능: 고통 procs 정신력 누출. NOW, you naturally pump out as hard as possible until it's about to end. Statistically, there was a 50% chance for it to be reset, and thus continuing past our first proc. Either you get lucky, or you don't. But you can force-extend the duration further once you feel like it. Giving you 30 seconds of +25% damage for certain. HOWEVER, statistically speaking, there now should be a 100% chance for our DOT to proc another one anyways. But since it starts randomly, you would get a 45 second "perfect" (impossible) uptime right after. But what's more likely is that we see a mid-duration refresh of Spirit Tap.

Which is why i find it irritating to pay attention to anyways. And i personally just want to make things simple for myself. But knowing how things work statistically, give you a better idea of what you want to do. And with what gear you luck out in getting.

Cheers.

In recent news, people have figured out that you can in fact run 2 DPS trinkets now. One after the other. It's made so that for example, 단명의 마력 부적 give your next trinket a 15 second super-short cooldown which activates as you use your first burst. CD's on burst trinkets are no longer shared! This is amazing for serious burst damage.
I am sure people can make one macro to thus use both trinkets, one after the other.

What you got, is what you want to use. I had 용력의 문장 laying around, but after more research, it seems to be the best second-option due to consistency.
I also heard that 잔달라의 영웅 부적 gave 30 sec CD, but i don't have it yet so i can't test this. It also scale itself down upon every cast, which make it a lot weaker.

Since there's like 6-7-8 different viable trinkets for Shadow Priest right now, i wanted to go trough some of the numbers. To guide us towards what's now likely the best option to gain the most damage. For long fights, and short fights.

Alright. There's some synergy things going on with a dual-use trink setup. Our effective down-time isn't as long as it used to be for stop-go DPS fights since we can only use 1 at a time. In a way, a dual-trink build give TOEP an effective 60 second downtime instead of 75 seconds. Since we got 30 seconds of uptime combined. 15 of the 75 seconds we'd normally have to wait on passing, is now uptime on your first trinket, as you use the second. Or reversed. Keep this in mind.

This is strategically, probably best used on let's say 크로마구스, we can now get an even larger damage output from the frost and shadow phases, unless we get lucky and it's constant frost/shadow. But that's not reliable, so it's better to shine when you first get to deal fat damage. 크로마구스 is an RNG boss anyways.

If these numbers below seem confusing, remember that we are trying to measure what give the most + dps over the CD time of a trinket's 90 second CD.
The final + value that is the highest, wins. What give us the most + damage, basically, over that time slot. So you can make the best choice.
It's RNG what drops, use what items you got! Roll 100, ez raid!

.

단명의 마력 부적
+184 dam, Yield 2760 +dam over 15 seconds. Then we get 75 seconds of downtime (single trinket scenario).

카산드라의 고서
+47 dam, Give us 4230 +dam over 90 seconds. Zero downtime. It's the best DPS trinket in-game for priests and also have a sick use-effect.

The +dam gap between these 2 trinkets, is just 1470 spellpower over a set time period of 90 seconds, head2head.
But over 15 sec, +47 = only 705 dam.
This means that the synergy factor of a dual-use trink setup, in reality, give you a super-large burst over 30-ish seconds. Then the first reset 60 seconds after the second is finished, and repeat.

용력의 문장
Give, as mentioned above, 1920 +dam over 15 seconds. Via it's +128dam boost.
It's far away from Toep, but it's also a lot more stable AND aggressive than let's say: 잔달라의 영웅 부적
The problem, and solution here, is to find trinkets that complement each-other. And due to the down-damage effect of 잔달라의 영웅 부적, most other high-end trinkets are better than it.
Any of the 2-3 passive high +dam trinkets should beat it.
But it IS good for other hard/long casting classes. Shadow Priests just pump out so many quick hits now, we end up with almost no +spellpower from the ZG trinket.
Back to the synergy ordeal. All we have to do now is to see what the other set-boost trinkets do and see what's the best over 90 sec.

넬타리온의 눈물
Give +44 dam. It's only 660 dam over 15 seconds, but is great at 3960 dam over 90 seconds. The 2% hit is also insanely good to free up a talent point, but anyways.

배신의 메아리
Got 1% crit, +34dam. The Crit is now 2X damage when you do crit, so this is a great item over most other trinkets for us.
Still, 34dam x15 = 510dam. And over 90sec, 3060 dam. Since crit directly impact our damage more though, it's hard to properly quantify how good it is.
But the less crit we got, the more valuable it becomes. Up to our T1 bonus crit cap of 39%. The T2 set probably benefits as much, since it equates into just a lot more damage.

ALRIGHT. Adding the 2 best burst trinkets together, the 2 best "idle" trinkets, and see what results we get.

TOEP + D'Emblem, give us 2760 + 1920 = 4680dam in one 90-sec cycle. But it's across 30 sec, 15+15.
Tome + Tear, give us a laughable quantity over 15 sec time, just 1365. Over 30 sec, it's 2x. 2,730 damage. That's still heavily beaten by the burst trinkets.

So we'll be fair and match the 90 sec cycle.
The result is obvious, but that's not the interesting part here.

Over 90 seconds, Toep+D'emblem is beaten out firmly by the Tome at 4230+ dam, and Tear with 3960+ dam. Combined, 8190 is a lot more damage than the 2 other trinkets.
But the raw comparison isn't as cut-and-dry as the numbers explain. Up to around the 45-50 second mark, the 2x trinket set wins. Past this, it should loose out in DPS.

In the end of the day, you need to be lucky. Or to stack your rolls on what items you want or need. Just getting TOEP is a very large +dps increase anyways, but now we got some alternatives to absolutely smelt down bosses which is pretty cool. It's super viable in great DPS raids, and on most MC fights. With exceptions on Rag and The Core (Heat3) since they are very long, and passive trinkets will then be a LOT better. In BWL, 크로마구스 and maybe 화염아귀 depending on your skill in dipping in and out, will be the best target for the double-trink method.
But most BWL fights take a lot of time, passive trinkets are better in there for now.
Some players also run a "nuke 에본로크" strat, here it's also super viable.

That's all.

I spent a long time measuring things, hopefully those with good trinkets can put them to use properly.
Currently, i do have the T2 6X set bonus. Lok'amir as well. The set bonus isn't all that consistent, but the damage makes up for itself. As i anticipated.
It's kinda simple though, and damage you a lot more. So make sure to get your stamina buffs in order if you don't have them.
You hurt yourself even harder than before with the optimal rotation at play. GL HF.

Is there a reason why the dummy showing a character with the BIS gear is no longer on this page?

Seems like a bug.

Tenblades의 댓글

So unless there's some good way to proc it reliably in fights, the 4/6 piece bonus on shadow feels gross. If you get lucky and the proc is up then the dmg output feels solid. However 10% chance, on a tick of SW:P, on a raid boss (where it's normally just 1 mob), the chance of it going off it kinda low. Went a whole nef fight the other day with 1 proc right at the end.

So unless they up the chance / change it to in crit of SW:D / stop making bad set bonus' then the T2 for shadowpriest is just messy.

That's just from my personal experience so far, only had it a week or 2 now and the proc rate is bad.

Enchant for gloves should be +20 Shadow spell damage

DeathPriest의 댓글

Yoyo again. I could have made this post a week ago, but today i got time. Happy SOD holidays.

Once more, those that make this "bis" threat, make fat mistakes. It's embarrassing honestly. So let's address and correct it, nice and cleanly.

베클로어의 왕실 홀 Is the by far, blatant BIS for dps shadow priest. And having looked now at the Phase 7 set bonus, it's going to be even more crucial for us to save a talent point that 100% would othervise be invested/wasted in 5/5 mindblast. But anyways.
Shadow priest got 4 DOT's and 1 channel + 1 heavy hit onto out main target.
Sure, 1 damage isn't a lot. But the hit and damage counts for more than what normal players recognize. We also ought to run the Rep-ring that give us 3% more DOT damage per timeworn piece. Suddenly, absolute max-damage make a lot more sense.

However, the competition will be tough to get either off-hand. Not just luck alone. Which is why you will take 맹렬한 집중의 갈퀴발톱 if it drops. But it's objectively not BIS, and is even less of a BIS now than ever before. Also, in everything up to and trough-out Phase7.

Quick aside there btw.

For P7, there's a large chance that a max-crit staff.
축복받은 퀴라지 시제 지팡이 OR 암흑 불길의 지팡이 might become the next easy-to-obtain BIS staff. Why?
The more crit% a move we got have, by that amount, we hit that much harder on undead targets.
Naxx will be wild, so i will prepare accordingly. Unsure which is better, but the hit% will allow us to pick talents like improved shield. To not get crushed too hard as Naxx lands.

Back to the post.

장갑 마법부여 - 암흑 마법 강화 is out for Gloves. Embarrassing that those whom made this post left it as is, and never updated this. I wonder if it's as bad for boomies or shamans on wowhead.
Gonna swap it to wow4head now maybe? Idk. Anyways, the armor kids are BIS for damage for chest and feet only. My tip is to do your reel runs and buy the core leather from the reel vendor in Booty Bar. 10 coins per leather, lots of gold saved. You need a LOT of them, but ask a guildie to make 화산 방어구 키트 so you save gold on these.
Then later, you get someone else to make 빛나는 키틴질 방어구 키트 right after also, for cheap. You can save hundreds of gold this way, even buying the core kits on AH. But the price has risen a lot.

TIMEWORN.

Overtime-work, rather? So far, using the wow SOD SIM, i've come to see that 세나리우스의 천벌 keeps being incredible!
It's so good, i am forced to only change it once i get 2 timeworn pieces.
Looking deeper into possibilities with the ring's 5% proc rate, it's still really good even then. But falls behind at +6% stronger DOT damage (which is 4X cause we run 4 DOT's), due to it's consistency.

I was very curious on what 청동용군단의 인장 반지 VS 청동용군단의 인장 반지 would look like by DPS alone. While we then also are forced to swap to 세나리우스의 천벌 and loosing 무한한 지혜의 반지 alongside it's DOT effect.

Turns out, the DPS difference isn't all that large? However it demands that we stay with the listed BIS cloak, or get the better one from AQ Temple. Further down this road, the best PVP weapon become the best due to dealing more damage as well. But what for? We are then trading in and away a DOT that is only great at single targets, keeps us alive more, and barely scales from +damage. Honestly, it's not that big of a loss. And if you luck out, the +193 damage will have enough uptime for you to beat out the normal assumed BIS. But you are playing a lottery-game here so i won't riff more on this fun haste path. It's more hype to me to be honest? Seems more fun to be a caster with 8% more haste? But timeworn is infrequent to get and everyone need it so it's whatever. Too much of a bother.

T2.5 mixups.
If you want the 4x bonus, don't look away from getting the boots instead. Why? The dps difference is near-nothing. At around 6k dps in the simulator, you gain 3 more dps? This is laughable. No serious or note-able difference what so ever. Head, shoulders and chest are 100% bis, and significant pieces. Legs or feet? Due to how there's 2 feet pieces, but only 1 good leg-piece, sure it's easier to pick legs. But the gear drop is more competitive.
모래수렁 보호장화 has around 29% drop rate in ruins. VS 출현의 장화 at 15%?
Know your BIS, but pick what's easier to get.
For legs, 검은눈보라의 다리보호구 can be gotten 2x a week from ruins. Which ironically enough, is way easier to obtain.

Future trinkets and misc gear: Time to prepare.
T3 for shadow priests will have a crit component once we get 6x. Probably BIS to run it with T2.5 2x. For all other item-pieces, you want more crit.
It's hard for me to assess if 사령관의 여명의 문장 is going to be our dps BIS or not. Since we get +% damage from crit.
And there's a few good crit choices out there.
But I'll gets it out pre-emptively.
괴수의 눈 does become a super strong damage option also, and it's a quest item everyone can get.
배신의 메아리 is still probably good, but for all we know? Maybe the argent dawn trinket takes over so hard, it's pointless to use anything else except for a burst trinket and it?
Speedstone got 2% haste and 2% crit as well.

What i CAN tell you however, is that the same AQ gear method will probably exist in naxx as well.
The trinket will give everyone more damage trough each gear-piece you wield. HOWEVER, the gear-set also allow you to equip a ring to get the set effect.
We all might struggle to prepare with crit past worldbuffs and some frills. But timeworn will be replaced. Crit will become crucial. Get your T2.5 head and chest, i doubt blizzard will make T3 pieces that beat them out (it don't seem reasonable).

That's about it. What frustrates me the most ATM, is how blizzard keep making BIS items even more rare than what they usually were. Nobody get their BIS. Ever. It's laughable, even childish. I NEVER get to enjoy having a great build and smelting prince. Or Kazzak, properly. Or seeing what the max potential of a build would be in the real game.
It's all so artificial. 7% drop chance for a damn wand from ZG isn't an issue if you can run all day. But 2 times a week? Just for me to NEVER GET THE WAND? 22 ZG runs, no chaos dps wand dropped for me.
Truthfully, this is the real essence of un-fun. Blizzard has leadership issues, that will never, ever die.
-----------------------------------
So i will be a jerk. All you wanna do, is probability maximize. Get the easiest pieces and call it a day. But always go for all items once you can prioritize it. Constantly, all day.
Soon as you are done? Farm some consumes/gold and raid-log. Waste of time, blizz. I don't get to even use my insane gear, and not for any cool purpose. What a flat experience.

CORRECTIONS - 2025 January.

The item priority lists are lacking. It's categoric, so let's correct nearly all of it.
Of course, thing may change. But you'll get why i am mentioning these things asap.

CORRECTIONS.

땅굴 팔보호구 - should be listed as "great". The dps difference from BIS is ultra-small.
Why? It's the time-worn effect that's the large dps increase. Not the stats. Except for crit.
They are also WAY easier to get, several can drop at once. Take burrower, and just move on if you have to.

빛나는 키틴질 방어구 키트 Will NEVER. N.E.V.E.R. Be glove-bis for enchant. NO. Correct the article, this is embarrassing. 900G item-echant vs 2x better 90g enchant?
BIS glove enchant is: 장갑 마법부여 - 암흑 마법 강화 Probably forever. It been out since AQ opening. Fix your list dude.

모암의 눈 - Sadly, this isn't BIS. Snapshotting your 4 Dot's, while you get power-infusion at the start of a fight, makes a higher +dam value when using TOEP.
단명의 마력 부적 is still the dps damage trinket BIS. But Eye + Toep could be bis if you use eye right after toep. But i am unsure if this "downgrades" the DOT's that's applied.
And we wanna avoid that, so i am guessing that it's still better to use TOEP + strong side-trinket.
Basically, Eye of Moan is GREAT. It's not Bis. Nearly all top-parses are brutally dominated by TOEP anyways. And it's easier to get.

카산드라의 고서 is worse than 배신의 메아리 by a small part now. Why? It got 1% crit. And now with Tier 2.5, we attack 2x per global, most globals.
And Mind-Blast will crit anyways, the "use" effect of tome is pointless.
Meaning that 1% crit, affects more and it on average generate more results with how we got 4x dot's on a target. + spike, flay, and mindblasts.
The guide is thus wrong. Cassandras is thus BIS up until you get T2.5. At, and after, so far, Echoes is a bit better.
TL:DR is that Toep + Echoes is max dps now. Guide/priority list sucks again. Who's managing this stuff anyways?

세나리우스의 천벌 is AOE BIS by a monstrous amount, but is either expensive/heavily demands hard solo-work to get. Can refresh instantly, 5% proc chance, runs for 10 seconds, goes off 2x as fast with T2.5 cause we hit targets way more often BUT.... it is on 100% of the time with Mind-sear/aoe. It's only truly beaten once you get 2 time-worn pieces and swap to the dot-time-worn ring. It's a serious grind-to-win ring, but nothing beats 193 extra spellpower on at all times. I am nearly ALWAYS top-DPS in aoe fights etc. It's like getting a second flask effect ontop of the flask you just took. Absolutely absurdly great. Top AOE dps was pretty "free" with this ring. Even more nuts if you proc it early in a solo-fight and pop TOEP with it as well. Now your DOT's hit even harder still. The prio list for rings/items above just isn't well made.

And why isn't 악몽 전령의 비룡석 listed as "great"? What, why? It's still a freaking insane dps upgrade. Even the other versions for the other casters. It's even better than the one you get from exchanging in head of Nefarian. Which also is "Great". Don't get head of nef btw, farming 50 reel-coins takes a day or 2 and can be gotten soon as you have the coins.

암흑 불길의 지팡이 is basically TIED with the quest-elementium-Staff from AQ. So both of them are "Best". The stats are nearly identical.
축복받은 퀴라지 시제 지팡이 may even be better due to how Crit% will give you more undead +% damage in Naxx by 1%-1%. Stack +25% crit, hit +25% harder onto undead.
Updating the article poorly, isn't letting people prepare.

For feet/legs. I wrote about it above in a previous post. The dps for BIS is nearly identical.
With full 2.5, we got feet, legs, chest, shoulders, head. Any 4 of tier 2.5, give you spare for 4 more time-worn pieces. The ONLY RULE to follow, is that you MUST get head+chest. Because they got 2%+2% crit and are ultra-powerful. ALL the other pieces can be shuffled around. Take what you can get. You loose maybe 5-10dps when you hit freaking 4000+ LOL.
If your finisher is legs + boots. Or Shoulders + legs. Or shoulders + boots. The end-dps with time-worn is nearly the same.
The phase guide this time is being unclear, and wasting our time.

Last. Why isn't 고결의 손보호구 + 고결의 장식끈 HEAVILY ENDORSED?
It's the first 1-2 parts of the 0.5 set-class tier quest. But they end up being a mega-killer-combo of freaking 90+ DAM. That's +45 on gloves and +45 on belt.
See the belt list above? See that glove list, of what's "great"? +45 dam is the best, or second best on both lists.

DONE.

DONE.

I get it. Maybe you don't have time, dude. Maybe you don't care. Hell, maybe you are a salty retail mage, palla, shaman. I really don't know. But we don't care dude.
Edit the article, for the sake of the fun game mode. Or pass along the torch to someone that is gonna guide other shadow priests towards hitting harder and doing better.
In a smarter way. I've given out endless tips in-game. Because this page is worthless dude.

BTW 혼돈의 손길 NEVER dropped in 24 runs. I never got it. Instead, i got the one from AQ that's 20dam. Cancerous game design.

Merry Christmas and happy new year.

What is the point of imp sw:p in p8?
Homunculi are not needed, you can go with the pants rune for aoe dotting so with 1 global you put 3 sw:p up.
Also since we are dumping regen from disc, might as well go for silence sacrificing 1 point from shadow weaving. Almost all raids got 2-3 SPs in them.

2 talent points for two ticks seems like an overkill.

Also the use of inner focus is debatable at best. The talent is practically useless at the current state of the game, could easily skip, idk...
