Shadow Priest PvE

[Guest Lucas Zanchet]

Amazing job Publik, its very usefull guide and objective, finally im getting better with the spec

[Guest Dude.]

I find it hard to swallow arguing for survivability talents on the spec side of the tree and then putting 3 entire class side points into mindgames hot garbage instead of picking up survivability talents there?  No shorter fear CD in m+, you really recommend 3 extra points in mindgames instead? sometimes your recommendations in the content-specific talent synopses don't actually match what you put in the build at the end?

Hi! I'm trying out Shadow Priest in MoP Remix, and I noticed you have "always use" talents on the Priest side (3.1), but I don't see any on the Shadow side. I'd love if you're able to add that at some point. :)

Literally laughed out loud (and startled my cat) at your description of Angelic Bulwark "does not proc when you ACTUALLY need it".

Hey so I'm assuming this is a work in progress, but after TWW pre-patch the shadow talent trees are bonkers - the "level required" is not always 69, it's all over the place.

Remix dungeon leveling = 61, Remix end game = 45, Single target + Shadow Crash = 95, Mythic+ talents = 155 😵

Thanks for the post! Blizzard is continuously updating their talent strings which is breaking some of the old ones I had created. They should all be working as of now but it looks like they are continuing to update things and it looks a bit different across live/beta so doing my best to keep up! Should stabilize in the next week or so.

So far only one bug found on the Shadow side.
At level 25:    "Mental Fortitude"    Must come before    "Void Eruption".

Just FYI, for the Leveling talent tree on Priest side, it has 2 points in Manipulation which is now 1 point max.

Leveling builds were just updated last night! Let me know if you are running into any issues now.

All good now, thank you for the updates!

First time having raided last season and then doing the launch for the next xpac - Do i break previous 4pc as soon as I get better gear or is it worth hanging onto until max lvl?

I think there's a line missing from the standard rotation for AOE and Single Target with Archon.  There's no line that says "use your first charge of Mind Blast if at 2/2 charges".  This should go before Void Torrent, right?

This is unfortunately quite unintuitive but due to large buffs to Void Torrent going into this expansion and the relatively weak power of Mind Blast the rotation in the guide is correct. While this was better in previous seasons as Shadow in the current season even as Archon this isn't strictly a gain to delay Void Torrent just to get Mind Blast on cooldown.
