* Note 1: Regen trinkets are great at increasing overall damage, as
Mind Blast in particular is Mana hungry. The on-use trinket from
Molten Core is useful in burst situations, but should go to
Mages and Warlocks in the first place.
** Note 2: As you have no competition for your 
The Eye of Divinity,
except from other Priests, you should really stick to 
Anathema, rather than
taking a weapon from other casters/healers such as 
Aurastone Hammer or the
caster staff from Golemagg. Furthermore, Anathema is simply better than
the available non-rank 14 alternatives.
Other Best in Slot Lists
As this list is meant to be used for Shadow Priests in WoW Classic's Season of Mastery, we have created separate gear lists for those interested in optimizing themselves for the "main" branch of Classic instead. If you are not playing in the Season of Mastery, it is recommended that you consult this gear hub instead.
In addition, because Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair may require the use of additional Fire Resistance, we have a separate guide below to optimize your gear for this stat if necessary.
