Early on in this guide it mentions that Mana is the Shadow Priests main resource and that most spells need it. This is not even remotely true anymore, and led to a lot of confusion for someone who just rejoined at Legion's launch.

Does this lack of mana mean we should have slightly less care in Intellect?

We'll look into rewording this, thanks for pointing it out.

As for Intellect, no, this does nothing to change the amount of Intellect you are seeking.

Hi guys! I just registeted here because I wanted to share my experience of new SP. 

I have now 847 ilvl and in mythic dungeon bosses I will pull out about 250k+- 20k dps if i use my "death talent" 

If I dont use it I will do abit under 200k dps something like 175k-200k.

How does those numbers sounds to you? Good? Bad? Avarage?

I didnt find any use for mindsear (dmg sucks so badly) yet and taked it off from action bars. 
I think Shadow Crash is a must talent you you want to do any dmg on trash mobs.
On boss when you use STM I would rather use mindbender because it can save your life!

Found out that dispersion used on right time can save your life too or at least extend it lol. I am using Reaper of Souls talent too.

An armory link or so can probably provide more information for us than just your item level, since we can then see stat levels, trinkets etc.

Post that for me, as well as which bosses you are looking at and I'll let you know!

Does the stat priority change when we get Mangaza's Madness (and then take Shadowy Insight instead of Auspicius Spirits) as Crit spawns more Apparations but they don't do anything anymore?

Also Unleash the Spirits becomes a bad trait after getting the belt.

I'm not sure how to link my stats/ gear but I have a question about Spriest..  (Please note I am main spec disc priest.. trying to master spriest as a secondary spec)

Maybe I am just unlucky with RNG (this is a damn certainty)  but my stats are as follows-

intel- 24.5 k

Mastery-45%

crit strike- 23%

haste- 18%

I really cant control the gear drops I get and maybe this is the problem because I dont think its my rotation.  Talents- twist of fate, body and soul, mind bomb, void lord (trying this one out, was reaper of souls before) auspicious spirits, mind bender and legacy of the void.

 

rotation as follows- SW Pain, Vampiric touch, mind blast and flay until enough insanity to enter void form

Void form>Minderbender>MB>Void Bolt>Void Torrent>Void bolt>MB>Flay>Void bolt>MB (continues like this til i run out of insanity

my dots are maintained. I through the flay in there as a filler when needed.  ILVL is 832 and my artifact weapon needs some definite work but ive been putting almost all my time into my disc weapon.  

And finally, ST DPS with no flask or food is around 110k which seems really low and my AOE dps is basically non-existent. Anyone have any feedback/ ideas?

 

(this is on a dungeon dummy btw not a raiding dummy)

Shadow Priest feels like shit in comparison to basically every other class right now.

single target can only do decent dps if the bossfight doesnt require movement and bomb dps / small trashpack dps is non existent. 

really sad about how shadow priest plays out because the mechanic is really fun to play but the damage is just that bad. i wanted to main SP for that add on but seems like its impossible to get a spot in a good mythic+ / mythic raid group with SP as a main char.

Can't give an answer to this myself, but will do my best to find it out and let you know. Just noting that your comment has been read!

For this, I can only give VERY limited feedback. I would suggest posting a thread in the Priest forum and include a log of you DPSing over 5+ minutes. Should be able to help a lot more over there.

This has unfortunately felt the same way for over an expansion. We'll see if it gets changed in the future.

Can you please clear this up for me? On your stat priority page, with surrender to madness you have intellect listed as 4th priority. Then later on the same page you describe intellect as "your primary stat." To me these two statements are conflicting. But if intellect is indeed 4th best, is it worth it to go down in item level for some items in order to gain haste? For example, I have gloves that are ilvl 800 with lower intellect and +700 haste. Or I have gloves that are ilvl 810 with higher intellect, but the secondary stats do not include haste. Would I choose the ilvl 800 gloves there, even though it has less intellect?

I am little bit confused... lets say I go for mastery as my primal stat and lets say i have all the % increase dmg traits on artifact weapon activated...isn't mastery better as #1 priority stat cause then mass hysteria golden trait becomes even more broken along with all other % traits right, if we also assume your second priority stat is haste?

Intellect is referred to as a primary stat in regards to Agility/Strength/Intellect/Stamina being available on every piece of gear. We are simply stating this for much newer players. We'll see if we can reword it slightly better!

Yes, you would take the 800 gloves.

I've just come back to WoW after a five year break. I'm gradually getting back in the swing of things, but quest loot has got me puzzled. For example, having completed Deep Doubts, Deep Wisdom, I can choose between Windstrong LeggingsWindstrong Leggings or Leggings of Inner PeaceLeggings of Inner Peace, but the only difference I can see is +1 haste on the latter. Am I missing something? I would have expected there to be more distinction between them - one with crit, one with mastery perhaps?

Hey guys, 

just want to share my expierence with the spriest.

my Stats are atm with ilvl 851:

31% haste

19% crit

47% mastery

I actually Play without STM, but Single Target at Ursoc was for example 210k. Aoe at 2-5 bigger mobs is great, going over 300k.

This is most likely due to the changes that we saw from WoD -> Legion. Stats were removed and just blanket replaced, so those were two very different pieces in MoP, but now are practically the same since the other stats no longer exist.

Ah, yes, that would explain it - thanks, Blainie. There was me thinking that Blizzard would have meticulously revamped all quest loot to compensate. :-) I don't think Icy Veins existed when I Iast played WoW - thanks for a great resource.

No problem! They try hard but sometimes certain rewards do slip through the cracks.

If you ever have any further questions, feel free to ask on our forums and I, or one of our team members, will be happy to help :)

Generic comment being mass posted over the comments threads guys.

We are aware of the changes and our writers are working hard to update the guides to suit what has changed. Currently, there is a lot of work still to be done and it's unlikely that every guide will be up-to-date immediately. Expect a flood of updates over the coming days that will answer all of your questions about what is now best after X change, in time for the reset next week.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
