So the Gear Site hasnt been updated in a long time now. How is Zeks Legendary Cloak now doing, it went from 25% bonus damage to a whopping 100% 

It's as we have listed it. Sits around the 3rd-4th priority depending on your spec. It's generally around 1-3% behind the wrists.

So...on the stat priority page...can someone explain

1. Haste till -12k (what?)

2. Mastery

3. Crit

4.Intellect (especially explain this as, its a primary stat and the others are secondary)

5.Haste (again)

6. Versatility

This seems incredibly convoluted, stat priority should be fairly simple and straight forward. I understand there may be different priorities for different talent builds, but they should be placed separately or at least explained a bit more in depth than this. I've never seen a stat priority page like this on this site. Its completely confusing and frustrating as I'm just getting back after an extended break and starting to play this character again.

Simming your character will get you the best results with this, honestly.

So:

  1. You need to seek gear with Haste on it as a priority until you reach 12,000 Haste stat points. You can find out your current Haste points by hovering over the Haste stat.
  2. Alongside that 12,000 soft cap, you'll be looking for gear with Mastery on it. Haste/Mastery pieces are very good.
  3. If you have already reached the 12,000 soft cap of Haste, then you can start to search for Crit on your gear. You will look for Crit/Mastery pieces especially, as long as they do not take you below 12,000 Haste.
  4. Intellect is ranked fairly low, so taking pieces purely for item level is generally not advised, unless it is a huge upgrade.
  5. Haste is here again, just in case you are past the 12,000 soft cap and you need to decide between a Crit/Vers or Crit/Haste piece of gear. Haste is better than Vers at all times.
  6. Vers is last.

Hope this helps.

What is the best Legendary? I see you mention the second best, but which is considered best for shadow?

Also, your legendary gear list shows iLevel 910 legendaries, not just for priest class.  Will this be updated soon? Because this is NOT 7.15 gear you're describing, it is pre-7.1.5, legendary iLevel is 940 now.

Also, Your link on the right says Gear, Legendary, and Best in Slot. Under this topic you are only listing legendaries. There's nothing else about best in slot. You used to have lists with best trinkets and a rundown of gears that were best. Seems that isn't there any more. Is this going to be re-added?

I believe the rankings are up-to-date, but the text below is not. Will get it looked at.

This is a tooltip error for the 940 issue - that's not something we can fix. As for the text, I'll get this looked at.

For trinkets, I need to ask Furty - for BiS, it just doesn't exist anymore. I can ask for a Nighthold BiS to be put up, but a total BiS is impossible. The likelihood of you getting every piece perfectly warforged to max item level is just not going to happen, basically.

Can someone please help me out?
My shadow priest have 8760 crit (28%), haste 9636 (26%) and mastery 3836 (44%).
I've been testing both  San'layn and Auspicious Spirits talents, and what I found is Auspicious is better even with this close value with crit to haste, and the guide says San'layn should be better in that case. Am I misreading something or just screwing things up?
Just for ilustration with my damn poor dps:
On raider's trainning dummy (I know some skills -mind flay- just pop on the side dummys and increases the dps a bit) doing single target rotation, I pull ~510k dps with Auspicious, and ~495k with San'layn.

HALP :/

When do you take the middle level 100 talent over legacy of the void in mythic +, if your comp has low AoE dmg or just in certain dungeons?

Both, tbh. It depends on a combination of the two. Having low aoe in a low aoe dungeon doesn't matter. You might have high AoE but need even more.

Here.

Edit: Actually, when I was searching for something on my bag. I found the following -
Loop of Vitriolic Intent (myth 7) ilvl 855, wich gives me 1531 haste and then I reach more than 10k, and 701 mastery.
On the other hand I found another ring: Ring of Contempt (myth 10) ilvl 865 with 1626 haste BUT  745 versatility.
As you can see, I'm using the Spellblade's one, because I didnt drop any better. Is it worth giving up the 890 ilvl ring for a 855?

Is taste supposed to be 12k or 12%? Currently, it's listed as 12k where all other class/spec pages list the recommended percentage.

The guide was correct, I think you misread. Auspicious should be doing more, not San'layn if you have a Crit-heavy set of gear. It was the correct choice to use AS.

12k, it's around 30%.

We are currently in the process of updating our guides in preparation for the release of 7.2 - please understand that we will not be answering questions in this section about "What is better for 7.2?" prior to the patch release, since all the information will be available when the patch goes live. Please be patient and thanks for waiting!

Just from a quick glance, it looks like it might still be in the process of being updated - the main page of "7.2 changes" hasn't been filled in, so I'm assuming there's still some things to be added.

Let me pass this on and get Furty to take a look at it. He might have just overlooked it when adding things to the guide. Thanks and sorry for the delay! :)

also the shadowmoderator on 'howtopriest' has performed an up to date shadow legendery analysis heres the link

https://www.howtopriest.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&p=79560&sid=aebb6b47c8fa8a2954eea54e44617751#p79560

so in addition to the helm now being 'semi decent' on par it seems with usefuleness of trinket, we can see that the nerf to anunds shearing shackles has hurt it a fair bit

For the add-on - I've gone with 35% haste using previous data as a reference.

That should work, yeah. 12k is basically 32-35%.

      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.

      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.
