Zeks Exterminatus  Now increased the damage of Shadow Word: Death by 100%
This should put it up higher on the list of best in slot legendary as its procs pretty often

I'm hoping to gain some clarification on stat priorities, it would seem Haste is the top choice judging off what I've read but in the talent section I recall a choice based off a Crit heavy build.  Since there doesn't appear to be any more information beyond that, why would anyone prefer higher amounts of crit over haste to begin with?

Hello. Another person wanting to know more about stat priorities. I'm new to learning how to pay attention to all this stuff, and I've found IV to be very helpful in trying to learn the ropes. Checking various resources, I've seen some recommendation for Crit over Haste and Mastery for Shadow Priest. Is this something to consider? I notice most of the gear that has been dropping for me seems to keep getting Crit + somethingelse often, so I have currently more crit than Haste, by about 2% only. Currently ilvl847 and working on gearing up, and trying to figure out which direction to go. Pawn strings would also be helpful! Are they here, am I missing it, or are they not up yet? Thanks for any help!

The stat priority pre-7.1.5 was: Haste to 10k > Crit to 10k > Mastery > Haste > Crit > Int > Vers but has since changed to Haste to 12k > Mastery > Crit > Int > Vers. The reference to a crit heavy build is included for players still wearing similar gear setups to pre-7.1.5 as the talents have different synergy with different stat balances. If you still had gear with a lot of Crit on it but very little Mastery it would be unwise to use San'layn, for example.

Hey, refer to the stat priority in the guide for the best set up for raids and dungeons. Stat weights are likely to return in the future, which you can then use for Pawn if you wish.

is someone else facing the same? 

Some QoL changes did fix this somewhat, but SPriest was never good at DPSing trash that dies quickly in M+, so don't worry much about that. It's way better now with how Mind Sear works :)

I don't play the game, though I still pop by here for slight interest sake. . Just noticed that little error.

Looks like this was answered above, but yeah, just confirming that Mind Sear still exists and all damage increases buff the AoE wave from Mind Flay.

Artifact Trait 15 is not a error. The ability Mind Sear was removed but it still exists as a passive.

Thanks for helping to answer that :)

You can always use SimC to check what your personal weights would be - I've put in a note to Furty to see if we can get them updated in the guide, though :)

Is the legedary chart on the last page a ranking? If so why is Prydaz on lst spot. Its a hughe stat stick, the Shield is nice to cover up mistakes or relive stress from the healers. Also judging from the sims of H2P the shoulders still seam to be 2nd best (behind wrist, although i dont think they simmed sephuz yet)

Most likely an oversight on Prydaz being last after the changes to it, but the other rankings depend on the talents being used, as well as the fight at hand. Will get Furty to take a look again just in case.

Hello!

First, Thanks so much for all the work you put into helping folks. Especially ones like me scratching their head looking for some kind of last glimpse of hope for the priest class. I can't give up on it so I'm here. My ilvl is 876 and my DPS is horrible. lol. I can't seem to figure out whats going on. talent tree is the same as most people's tiers 1-3 the generic build and the rest listed straight down the left side of the tree. My crit is 4.2k and haste is 11.3k (working on getting to 12k) but my mastery is around 44%. Is that too low? Should i build more towards mastery? For example, should it be 4k crit 12k haste and like.. 60-70% mastery? Hard to juggle the stats and build more mastery without loosing crit and haste but i can work on it. Either way.. my ST dos won't go much over 185-230k .. i don't understand with my gear score. My rotation is fine based on what all i have read, so it has to be my stats I'm thinking. 

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the response!

About the stats, would it be recommended to have more mastery than I do? It seems with the strategy provided in the video, my dps went up about 50-60k, but still not as high as I hoped.

 

4.2k crit
11.3k Haste
44% mastery

 

Thanks!

For the gear page could you add in the specs that use shadow/blood relics. Or direct me to where it's posted

You could certainly aim for more Mastery, yes, but you will eventually hit a point where you are simply capped by gear level. If you have to sacrifice too much item level for Mastery, you'll just start losing DPS.

Sorry, not priority.What I meant is what other classes use shadow/blood relics that we as shadow priests will have to roll against. i.e. tier competition is Lock, Pally, DH and other Priests. Blood relics would be other shadow priests, probably blood DK? etc.

Ahhh, I see! The loot competition section! I'll get that updated - it should contain:

  • Blood: Blood DK, UH DK, Feral Druid, Guardian Druid, MM Hunter, SV Hunter, Assass Rogue, Outlaw Rogue, Aff Lock, Arms Warr and Prot Warr.
  • Shadow: All DKs, Havoc DH, Disc Priest, Assass Rogue, Sub Rogue, Add Lock, Demo Lock, Arms Warr.

Hope this helps :)

      🤠(Author's introduction)🤠

      Introduction: Before I begin I want to clarify that I am an old explorer and curious connoisseur of these players who dedicated their lives for years to a style of play within WoW, known as WoW F2P, I want to clarify the doubt of who this person is and what he came to represent and what he continues to represent today for level 20 communities, looking for information and more information I can say that this is the summarized result of this player known as Saruski, also known by other nicknames with which I will also be willing to better summarize this matter.

      👀 (What were the beginnings?) 👀

      Beginnings: Saruski started playing WoW around 2012 or 2013, but officially dedicated herself to the F2P playstyle in 2014.
      She has videos on her YouTube channel where she talks about her early experiences in WoW F2P, including her time in the Alliance and later joining the Horde. These videos provide some insight into her beginnings in the game and how she became involved with the F2P community.
      👀 (What's it called?) 👀

      Name and character: Saruski, whose real name is Andrea, is a recognized figure in the World of Warcraft (WoW) community, specifically among players who play for free (F2P).

      👀 (What is it known for?) 👀

      Pioneering the F2P community: Saruski founded and led the first international WoW F2P community on the Blizzard app. This provided a central hub for F2P players to connect, share information, and organize groups.
      Advocating for F2P players: She has been a vocal advocate for F2P players, highlighting their achievements and contributions to the WoW community.
      Creating content: Saruski has created videos and content to share her knowledge and experiences with the F2P community.

      👀 (What does Saruski mean for WoW F2P?) 👀

      Community building: Her leadership in creating the first international F2P community helped to legitimize and unify the F2P player base.
      Inspiration and representation: Saruski has shown that F2P players can achieve a high level of play and contribute meaningfully to the WoW community.
      Education and guidance: Her content has helped many F2P players learn the ropes and improve their gameplay.

      👀 (When did he retire?) 👀

      Retirement: While Saruski retired from WoW in 2020, her contributions to the F2P community remain significant. She is remembered as a pioneer, leader, and advocate for F2P players.
      Saruski, a prominent figure in the WoW F2P community, while no specific reason was publicly stated, she did create a video titled "Wow Saruski Official F2p: End Of Story | 2013-2020 (English And Spanish)" which you can find on YouTube.

      👀 (Final summary) 👀

      Summarizing: There are many players today who deserve high recognition, but it could be said that Saruski is the most well-known player and the one who marked a before and after in WOW F2P, given her career in the game and on the internet some people call her the legend of WOW F2P, but there is nothing official to call someone like that, therefore that is up to each person's discretion.
      End...

      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.
