It's not constant if it increases...

You can have a constant increase. It means that it increases by the same amount each second.

The guide for Shadow Priest shows it was updated for 7.1 but it also still reads

 

In 7.1 this is no longer the case. The Shadowform is back in its prior form. Here is the link ShadowformShadowform however it actually says 10% Shadow Damage and 10% Physical Damage reduction in game and no longer costs mana.

Made a note for the writer, thanks!

I did some logs and found out that using Voit torrent at the end (instead of the beginning) of voidform increased my DPS consistantly.

I take it that this isn't that shocking news, but why do you cast Void torrent at the beginning instead of the end of voidform when it is a DPS loss?

Data to support my statement:

Can someone please explain.... in 1.1 and 1.2 it shows intellect as the 4th priority stat and yet in 2.1 it states that intellect is the primary stat.  This seems a contradiction?

Primary stats are Intellect, Agility, Strength, and Stamina.  Secondary stats are Critical Strike, Haste, Mastery, and Versatility.

This is explained further in the Mastery section below. Section 5.6.3.

Yes i've seen that, in my opinion using void torrent at the end is better because of 2 reasons:

1. more haste = more ticks (each 25% haste gives one tick)

2. You can use it when both void bolt and mind blast are on CD and mind flay wont keep you in voidform till they are back up.

Yet dispite this criteria, it is still stated that one must use voidtorrent as the 1st ability when entering voidform.

5.6.3. doesn't state that you should still use voidtorrent at the end of your voidform even without the use of power infusion, heroism ect.

In a standard scenario when power infusion is on CD, there is no herioism, no trinket procs (like chrono shard), the use of surrender to madness is out of the question and no damage increase buffs in general are in play. you should always use voidtorrent at the moment your voidbolt and mindblast are on CD and you will know with 100% certainty that you are about to run out of insanity. When voidtorrent is done channeling you will be able to use voidbolt (and mindblast in some cases) one more time resulting in a dps gain compared to using voidtorrent in the very beginning.

Please do correct me if i'm in the wrong here. This is based on personal experience (with the hastecap of 12000 reached) and i can understand that in the more common scenario things in terms of spell usage may differ.

Thank you for this thread......very very helpful. I was wondering where would Power Torrent be used in the rotation?

I think there is a mistake at the 3.1.2 section.

It said that if we chose the tier 5 talent Auspicious Spirits we should dot Shadow word pain on all targets. But the shadowy apparitions are called by Vampiric Touch and not Shadow word pain isnt it ?

So with Auspicious Spirit talent we should dot Vampiric touch no ?

I don't want to overstep my reach here and make a mistake, so I'll forward your comments to the guide writer and see if I can get a response there. It will either end with a much more detailed response than I can give or a change to the guide. Both are good outcomes! I'll let you know ASAP!

That's great to hear. Although the haste-crit values have changes (9500 haste and 9000 crit, rest goes to mast.) my point still stands.

I'll look forward to hear from you again :).

Hi, I have an issue regarding gear for the shadow spec, still getting used to the rotation, but the stats on the gear I get are mostly mastery and versatility, the result now being 51% mastery, do I just skip on those and get gear with crit and haste instead?

Thanks

Yeah, that would be best. This is especially true if you are using StM, since you need the Haste.

I have not seen this mentioned, but mind bender still generates insanity so if you use it and dispersion/ void torrent your going to gain insanity back.  you can cast  void form and VT back to back to basically refill your insanity while you mindbender just chomps away. it may be a bug but it has been working for a while.

The guides are currently being updated for 7.1.5! I just wanted to leave a few notes for all of our users that might be getting ready to leave a comment:

  • Some pages do not require updates. The "Last Updated" stat does not mean the page is out of date, it might just not have needed any changes. If you feel that it does, leave a comment telling us what needs changing and why.
  • The process will not happen immediately - some guides will be updated faster than others simply due to the number of resources available. Be patient, they'll be ready when you need them!
  • There might be some continuity errors when making small adjustments to large guide pages. If you do find one of these, just let us know in the comments and we'll get it fixed ASAP.
  • "Why have you not taken into account X buff to X ability?" - remember, just because something got buffed, it doesn't mean it is now automatically better than the other options!

As always, we want to thank you all for being patient while we get things updated and I'm always available to help you all if you need it :)

section 1.1 Explanations on Legendaries page incorrectly states that total Mind Blast charges will be 3 still. The item is correctly updated and displays 7.1.5 changes to reflect that it now provides 1 additional Mind Blast charges (down from 2 additional charges).

      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.
