IMO mindbender should be changed to default choice for its tier once you guys do the update, as it pulls far ahead of the other two with a substantial amount of crit and haste and pairs best with Auspicious Spirits, just my 2 cents

From my testing If you can get 25% crit or more while maintaining at least close to 11k haste you should take AS over SL and mindbender over PI, helped push my damage up considerably.

Zek's Exteriminatus Legendary cloak was hotfixed January 17th to have a damage increase of 100% (up from 25%) So it's been a couple patches now since this change. Can we get an update on it in the legendary item list?

Mindbender is our default option currently for single target and cleave.

There have been updates to the guide's discussion of Mindbender :)

I have been running many simulations and never does Mark of the Trained Soldier come out on top over Hidden Satyr. The probably changed after 7.2.5 nerfs to T19 4set

I knew there was debate over Trained Soldier vs. Claw, but I am yet to see anyone seeing Hidden Satyr as top. Are you fully up-to-date on SimC builds etc.?

Yes, although for Shadow it is fairly easy to evaluate upgrades due to the extreme value of secondary stats. No exact ETA but I would expect a BiS list within a week or two.

Looks like there's a typo in the Skills section for Mindbender:

Mindbender Icon Mindbender is the best choice for single-target and light cleave. It should be used *insight* of Voidform Icon Voidform whenever possible for the extra Haste, damage, and Insanity generation.

Should be *inside*.

I mean, if you look at Goroth or Maiden, SPriest is near the bottom 3-4 specs on both no matter what percentile you check (75th, max). SPriest is definitely weak right now on ST, they very clearly shine on things like council fights.

Don't know if this is the right place for this, if not please move it.

I just returned after a 14-month absence and was very happy to see that an Easy Mode rotation has now been included in the guides for those of us who either don't raid at high levels, or who may have other reasons to play with a different rotation (me, medical).  And I'm grateful for that.

But, when I looked at my spriest this afternoon, I noticed that the single- and multi-target rotations have a shorter rotation than the Easy Mode rotation (9 and 10 items I think), vs 11 items in the Easy Mode rotation.

Is this as short as it can be, or is it possible that it can be shortened somewhat?  With this many items, I'll have to park my spriest till the next time when spells and things are revised again. 

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Keep in mind that the Easy Mode Rotation is only 11 parts and includes a simplified version of the entire other page. That is a total of 30+ points depending on the scenario, which phase of burn/spend you are in, how your stacks currently sit at. The EM one is definitely simplified, it just looks to be the same length because it is as long as a single section of the other rotations. The rotations page is much more in-depth.

Thanks for the info.  Unfortunately, that's way too much for me to play with.  The only way I could make that work for me is to disregard the burn/spend phases which would be a major impact on my dps.  But that's ok, because I discovered that druids are a joy to play so that's my new spriest lol.

Similar reasons I had to switch my arcmage to frost, too much of this spell depends on this, this other spell depends on something else, and everything has to line up just right to get max dps.  It's similar to coding a program full of If/Then statements: If this happens, then this, if something else happens, then this. By the time I get to the end of the list, I forgot what I'm doing.

Yeah, I understand. Some classes just don't work when it comes to simplifying things! Glad you found something else that works for you though.

There seems to be some discrepancies on the legendary page between the list and the explanations. The list has Anund's Seared Shackles (Wrist) listed as the 7th best single target legendary; however, the explanation says, "This is generally the second best legendary for Shadow Priests, regardless of your combination of talents.” Just wondering where we are with the legendary lists and if we expect that to change with the T21 set release?

This is likely an error during submitting updates - I'll ask for it to be corrected, please follow the list for now. If there's any T21 updates needed, they'll be submitted shortly :)

Heart of the Void has been nerfed from 300% to 75%, which isn't included in the list. I wonder how it holds up against the other legendaries now, since I don't have all of the legendaries myself. I can't help but feel, however, that it is now a mediocre choice.

      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.
