In The Burning Crusade Classic, Shadow Priests must visit a
Shadow Priest Trainer
in order to change their talent tree selections. This process has a cost attached to it, which starts as a small fee but increases every time you perform it, up to a cap of . This cost is reduced by per month, to a minimum of .

Talent Builds for Shadow Priest DPS in Burning Crusade
Shadow Priests put most of their talent points in the Shadow tree, only branching into Discipline for Mana efficiency. Most Shadow builds for PvE will contain the same Core Talents, there simply isn't much deviation possible without massively sacrificing output or mana efficiency. This means that for PvE the vast majority of your talents will stay the same no matter what your situation.
There are no relevant talents for a PvE Shadow Priest in the holy tree, primarily because you cannot cast Holy spells while in
暗影形态
, and you want to be in
暗影形态
as much as you possibly can.
The discipline tree offers a significant amount of Mana Efficiency for all Priest specs and is almost always taken as a complimentary spec. Some of the points here could be shuffled around with little to no impact, but the other options don't provide much either, so typically it stays the same.
PvE Default 14/0/47 Shadow Priest DPS Talent Build
This is the baseline build for PvE DPS. It gets all the most important talents as well as high Mana Efficiency. It prioritizes 3/3
心灵集中
instead of 5/5
暗影之波
and 5/5
暗影能量
. The reason for this is simple, you do no damage if you run out of mana.
暗影之波
is typically not an issue and is incredibly unlikely to fall off with 4/5 in it.
暗影能量
is a fine talent, giving 3% crit, but crit is relatively low value for Shadow Priests. Because of that, this talent provides the least damage per talent point, and is skipped in favor of another point in
心灵集中
.
PvE Max Output 14/0/47 Shadow Priest DPS Talent Build
This is the other standard Shadow Priest tree. It does the opposite of the tree above, opting for 1/3
心灵集中
and 5/5 in both
暗影之波
and
暗影能量
. If you are good at mana management and your guild kills things relatively quickly, this build is fine to run. Just remember, if you need to use more
超级法力药水
instead of using
毁灭药水
with this spec, you are losing DPS and are better off going for the first build listed.
PvP Utility 20/0/41 Shadow Priest DPS Talent Build
This is the baseline build for Shadow Priest PvP. It hits all the important notes, such as
昏阙
,
沉默
and a lot of Mana Effiency talents. Shadow Priest in PvP fall primarily into a Support DPS role, throwing debuffs onto enemies and dispelling offensively and defensively. Its likely that the majority of your casts in an arena game will be dispels, and to deal with this this build focuses a lot on reducing the mana cost of them.
赦免
puts in work here, reducing the mana cost of all your dispels by 15%. This includes
群体驱散
which costs a massive amount by default, and you will likely want to cast it a few times per game. This build also opts to pick up defensive talents, like
殉难
and
强化吸血鬼的拥抱
, both of which can save you in a pinch.
Remember, PvP builds are never set in stone and a lot of talents can be changed based on your experience, composition and rating.
Talents for Shadow Priest DPS in Burning Crusade
Shadow Tree Talents
精神分流
An iconic Shadow talent. Spirit tap procs when you specifically deal the killing blow to an enemy that would grant experience or honor. This means that critters and enemies with a gray level won't proc it, but most things within 7 levels of you will proc this. Some boss mechanics even proc it if you manage to kill a raid member with friendly fire, which while not very useful for gameplay is always a good laugh. This talent is a key component for leveling as well, being one of the reasons Priests are seen as incredibly mana efficient while leveling.
昏阙
A 10% chance on all your damaging abilities to stun the enemy can sometimes be a massive help, but you could also get an unlucky stun at the wrong time. Because of this, Blackout is rarely taken for PvE content. No tank wants their target stunned while they're moving it, or trying to build rage. For PvP on the other hand, this talent is fantastic. You can fish for procs with Rank 1 spells to set up for your team. If you're a troll you can stun attackers with
暗影守卫
, giving you time to reposition and turn the fight back in your favor.
暗影亲和
In PvE Shadow Priests generate a massive amount of threat, even if they aren't topping the damage meters. The mana from
吸血鬼之触
, the health from
吸血鬼的拥抱
and
暗影之拥
all generate threat. Because of this, Shadow Priests are likely to consistently struggle with threat throughout TBC and this talent helps mitigate a lot of it. I would personally never be caught raiding without 3 points here, though some people opt for 1 point here and swear by it. Find out what works for you, in your raid, with your tanks. For PvP this talent does nothing and is never picked up.
强化暗言术:痛
This talent gives you two more ticks of damage on
暗言术:痛
, significantly increasing the damage per cast and mana efficiency of the spell. This is a core talent in every Shadow Priest build.
暗影集中
A fantastic talent for Shadow Priests in all situations. 5 points in this talent mean you only need 76 spell hit rating, or 6% spell hit to be fully capped for PvE content. Reaching this hit cap is incredibly easy with Shadow Priest gearing and we have this talent to thank for it. Because of the abundance of Spell Hit on Shadow Priest gear at points, you may find yourself over the hit cap with this talent. Anytime you are 2% over hit cap, you can drop one point here and put it elsewhere without losing anything. A lot of builds in later Phases will find themselves at 3/5 here because of this.
For PvP you only need 2 points here to be hit capped, but because there is nothing else of value at this point for PvPers, most opt for 3 points instead.
强化心灵尖啸
This talent is rarely taken on its own merits and is primarily taken as a means to reach
沉默
. Almost entirely useless for PvE content, this talent can be helpful for both PvP and world content. In PvP those 4 seconds could be the difference between a win and a loss, even if this situation is rare.
精神鞭笞
Mind Flay is likely to be your most used spell in PvE as a Shadow Priest. Having no cooldown it is used as a filler when everything else is unavailable. The damage ticks every 1 second by default, dealing damage three times over the course of the cast. Mind Flay also slows the enemy by 50%, this is rarely applicable in PvE content, but can be useful while questing to give you a few extra seconds before an enemy reaches you, and in PvP is fantastic as it is the only method of slowing you have access to. The main downside to this spell is its noticably short range. By default 20 yards and together with
暗影延伸
24 yards, casting Mind Flay typically requires you to put yourself in range of danger.
强化心灵震爆
The importance of this talent is often discussed and argued. Most people will opt for either 4 points or 5 points. 4 points is comfortable, allowing you to cast 2 whole Mind Flays during the cooldown without thinking much about it. 5 points puts you at 5.5 seconds of cooldown, which doesn't line up as easily. Instead of 2 Mind Flays cast for their full duration, you can fit 2 Mind Flays cast for 2 seconds each and one other spell will use the remaining 1.5 seconds, lining up perfectly with the cooldown. 5 points is a DPS increase and for those looking to maximize their performance should always be taken. For PvP this becomes less clear cut, as you will rarely be using Mind Blast on cooldown, instead using it during burst phases to take down a player.
强化渐隐术
A cooldown reduction on the worst threat dump in the game is effectively useless. This talent is never taken.
暗影延伸
20% range may not sound like a lot, but for
精神鞭笞
the difference between 20 yards and 24 yards is incredible. This talent should never be overlooked.
暗影之波
One of the main reasons to bring a Shadow Priests to raids. This talent places a stacking debuff on the target, stacking up to 5 times. This debuff increases the damage of all Shadow Warlocks and Shadow Priests in your raid by 10% at 5 stacks. Most builds opt for 4 points instead of 5 here, as 80% chance is enough to reliably keep it up at all times. Players optimizing trash damage will likely prefer 5 points to make sure they get as many stacks up before the
腐蚀之种
's begin exploding. For PvP this works as a dummy debuff, eating dispels meant for other, more impactful debuffs.
沉默
Silence is a fantastic form of Crowd Control. Locking someone out of casting entirely for 5 seconds. This is more than enough time to score a kill in Arena, or to at least turn the tides of the battle and put the enemy team on the defensive. This ability has no use in PvE, most enemies that can be interrupted cannot be silenced, so its better to just let Mages and Shamans deal with that.
吸血鬼的拥抱
This talent is mostly wasted in PvE content currently. It generates way too much threat to be viable on bosses that deal raid damage and most of the healing it does should be handled by your healers. It is a required pick up to reach two core Shadow Priest abilities though,
暗影形态
and
吸血鬼之触
. It is also useful in PvP for a little bit of team healing, as well as as a dummy debuff, protecting more impactful debuffs.
强化吸血鬼的拥抱
2 points here increase the healing of
吸血鬼的拥抱
from 15% to 25%, a big boost. Unfortunately, for PvE content this is also a big boost to the threat generated, meaning that points here make it even less likely you will be able to keep
吸血鬼的拥抱
up. For PvP on the other hand, this effectively means that your entire party recovers 25% of all damage dealt by you while
吸血鬼的拥抱
is active. This can amount to a very significant amount over the course of a match.
心灵集中
This talent is mostly situational. It reduces the mana cost of
心灵震爆
and
精神鞭笞
which are a large part of your rotation and where your mana is spent, but if you can manage without 3 points here, this is the first place you would remove points.
黑暗
A simple damage boost for all your offensive spells. This is a core talent for Shadow Priests and is never skipped.
暗影之韧
At first this talent may seem like a decent defensive option, 4% is in reality very small and only helps against Casters. This is entirely wasted in PvE and rarely useful in PvP.
暗影形态
The most iconic part of Shadow Priests, their unique purple form. This form lasts indefinitely until either cancelled or you cast a holy spell that breaks it. Shadowform increases your Shadow Damage by 15%, which is more than any other individual talent does. Shadowform also reduces your physical damage taken by 15%, this can do a lot for just how squishy Shadow Priests can be, in both PvE and PvP. Casting any spell from the Holy category will break the form, including things like
复活术
and the Racial ability
绝望祷言
. Spells from the Discipline category on the other hand do not break Shadowform, meaning you can freely cast
群体驱散
,
真言术:盾
and
坚韧祷言
without having to recast your form.
暗影能量
This talent only effects
心灵震爆
and
暗言术:灭
, which may sound like very little, but those are the only two offensive spells Shadow Priests use that are effected by Spell Crit anyway. 15% Spell Crit is a massive amount and provides a significant enough boost to be worth taking for both PvP and PvE.
悲惨
The biggest reason to bring a Shadow Priest to raids. A 5% boost in damage for every caster in your raid, and a small amount for some specs like Enhancement is massive. You can easily keep this up on a lot of targets at once and as long as you have
暗言术:痛
or
吸血鬼之触
running on a target, this debuff will always be up.
吸血鬼之触
Another iconic part of the TBC Shadow Priest toolkit. This ability brings everything together, adding enough to your rotation to make Shadow Priests competitive DPS for most of the expansion as well as a massive boost to utility. For PvE you will ideally be in a Caster group, giving a massive amount of mana to your Arcane Mages. Some guilds opt to place their Shadow Priest in a healer group, but this is generally a mistake and should be avoided. For PvP this is another DoT, another debuff, and some much needed mana for your team.
Discipline Tree Talents
坚定意志
This talent is a must-have for PvP, but for PvE this talent is wasted more often than not. The other option is
魔杖专精
though, which is wasted always in PvE content.
魔杖专精
An amazing talent for leveling, you will use this talent all the way up to 70, at which point Wanding becomes rare and mostly wasted. For the most part no endgame builds opt for this talent.
无声消退
The threat reduction portion of this talent is wasted for Shadow Priests, but the Dispel protection can be helpful in PvP, making your debuffs a little stickier.
强化真言术:韧
A standard talent to take. Shadow Priests are expected to buff fortitude alongside Healing Priests in raids, and without this your buffs are worse than theirs. There also just aren't many other talents worth considering on this row.
强化真言术:盾
This talent is fantastic for PvP, as you always want to maintain
真言术:盾
. For PvE this talent doesn't get much use, but there is nothing else in this row worth taking for PvE.
殉难
Entirely wasted in PvE, this talent shines in PvP. One point is typically enough to be useful, this talent means you can freely cast without pushback even with a Rogue hammering at you. You are still able to be interrupted, but you gain 20% resistance to it as well.
冥想
This talent is the main reason Shadow Priests go into Discipline. 30% mana regeneration while casting helps more than any other Mana Efficiency talent for PvE, especially over a long fight. For PvP this talent is mostly optional and often not taken due to shorter fights and more chances to get non-casting regeneration.
心灵专注
This talent is great both offensively and defensively. It can be combined with
心灵震爆
to be almost guaranteed to get a Crit for no mana, with
噬灵瘟疫
to entirely negate its absurd mana cost, or with
治疗祷言
to get a free AoE crit heal on your entire party. Very few people opt to skip this talent, and for good reason.
赦免
Dispels are your primary focus in PvP as a Shadow Priest, and this talent reduces the mana cost of both your offensive and defensive dispels. This talent is invaluable for most PvP comps, but not relevant in PvE.
强化心灵之火
If you are struggling versus Physical damage in Arena, this talent can help deal with that, but is mostly wasted because of the prevalence of Caster comps. For PvE this is wasted and you won't have the points to get this far into the tree.
精神敏锐
The vast majority of your casts in PvP will be instant casts, so this talent massively helps deal with the mana costs, even if you can't max it out.
强化法力燃烧
Reducing the cast time of
法力燃烧
can be useful for PvP but is relatively situational. This talent is taken if your comp often has long games against healer teams.
法力燃烧
doesn't scale with Spell Power, so this spell becomes less useful for Shadow Priests as gear improves.
Any talent further down in the Discipline Tree restricts access to
吸血鬼之触
, and will not be taken for any Shadow Priest build.

5/5 Shadow Weaving really isn't necessary. 4/5 is the max you'll need (and my preference) as there's no meaningful difference in ramp up time, but you can even go as low as 2/5 if you want to deal with ramp up RNG.
Those extra points can be thrown into what ever they didn't previously include out of Imp.VE, Imp.Mind Blast or threat reduction at user preference. Ultimately, there's very little difference but I'm surprised there's no comment in the guide at all about it.
