Shadow Priest Dmg Guide 7.1.5

World of Warcraft: Legion's 7.1.5 has been available for a few weeks. During that time players have had access to some new content. With the arrival of The Nighthold, the focus has shifted toward. Apr 23, 2017  Or, alternatively, just revert absurd 7.1.5 dot nerfs. First week of 7.1.5 was the best time to play shadow priest, when we were actually good without s2memeness. No more time wasted in WoW. Still reading this awesome forum, though. Corrected shadow already and since shadow is in a mid spot in raid dmg at the moment. Welcome to this End-Game World of Warcraft Class Guide for Shadow Priests. This guide is simplified and streamlined to give effective information and advice without over-complicating things. It's intended for players who want to excel at DPS without having to deeply theorycraft every item and encounter or try and digest massive walls of text.

Below is our guide for prioritizing your abilities optimally. This should help give you a basic understanding of what to do and what's most important to focus on. Each rotation list is more of a 'priority list'--in real-time, you'll constantly be determining which ability to use next. Out of all abilities you have available, use the one highest up in the priority list.

Shadow Priest DPS priority involves two phases. The first phase is executed in Shadowform to build Insanity so that you can enter Voidform for additional damage. However, the rotation remains largely the same in both forms.

  1. Shadowfiend on CD
  2. Shadow Word: Pain (maintain DoT See Note 1)
  3. Vampiric Touch (maintain DoT See Note 1)
  4. Void Eruption (See Note 2)
  5. Void Bolt on CD
  6. Shadow Word: Void on CD (See Note 3)
  7. Mind Flay (See Note 4)

You will want to enter Voidform as soon as you can, continuing to follow the above prioritization for generating Insanity optimally.

Note 1: It's generally best to avoid refreshing DoT's when it still has a lot of time left. Try and wait until they are about to expire before refreshing.

Note 2: Casting Void Eruption whenever possible is crucial for being able to activate Voidform in timely fashion.

Note 3: Replace Shadow Word: Void with Mind Blast in this priority list if not using that talent.

Note 4: Channeling Mind Flay is a great filler spell when there's nothing else to do. However, interrupt it as soon as you have something better to cast.
