Early on in this guide it mentions that Mana is the Shadow Priests main resource and that most spells need it. This is not even remotely true anymore, and led to a lot of confusion for someone who just rejoined at Legion's launch.

Does this lack of mana mean we should have slightly less care in Intellect?

We'll look into rewording this, thanks for pointing it out.

As for Intellect, no, this does nothing to change the amount of Intellect you are seeking.

Hi guys! I just registeted here because I wanted to share my experience of new SP. 

I have now 847 ilvl and in mythic dungeon bosses I will pull out about 250k+- 20k dps if i use my "death talent" 

If I dont use it I will do abit under 200k dps something like 175k-200k.

How does those numbers sounds to you? Good? Bad? Avarage?

I didnt find any use for mindsear (dmg sucks so badly) yet and taked it off from action bars. 
I think Shadow Crash is a must talent you you want to do any dmg on trash mobs.
On boss when you use STM I would rather use mindbender because it can save your life!

Found out that dispersion used on right time can save your life too or at least extend it lol. I am using Reaper of Souls talent too.

An armory link or so can probably provide more information for us than just your item level, since we can then see stat levels, trinkets etc.

Post that for me, as well as which bosses you are looking at and I'll let you know!

Does the stat priority change when we get Mangaza's Madness (and then take Shadowy Insight instead of Auspicius Spirits) as Crit spawns more Apparations but they don't do anything anymore?

Also Unleash the Spirits becomes a bad trait after getting the belt.

I'm not sure how to link my stats/ gear but I have a question about Spriest..  (Please note I am main spec disc priest.. trying to master spriest as a secondary spec)

Maybe I am just unlucky with RNG (this is a damn certainty)  but my stats are as follows-

intel- 24.5 k

Mastery-45%

crit strike- 23%

haste- 18%

I really cant control the gear drops I get and maybe this is the problem because I dont think its my rotation.  Talents- twist of fate, body and soul, mind bomb, void lord (trying this one out, was reaper of souls before) auspicious spirits, mind bender and legacy of the void.

 

rotation as follows- SW Pain, Vampiric touch, mind blast and flay until enough insanity to enter void form

Void form>Minderbender>MB>Void Bolt>Void Torrent>Void bolt>MB>Flay>Void bolt>MB (continues like this til i run out of insanity

my dots are maintained. I through the flay in there as a filler when needed.  ILVL is 832 and my artifact weapon needs some definite work but ive been putting almost all my time into my disc weapon.  

And finally, ST DPS with no flask or food is around 110k which seems really low and my AOE dps is basically non-existent. Anyone have any feedback/ ideas?

 

(this is on a dungeon dummy btw not a raiding dummy)

Shadow Priest feels like shit in comparison to basically every other class right now.

single target can only do decent dps if the bossfight doesnt require movement and bomb dps / small trashpack dps is non existent. 

really sad about how shadow priest plays out because the mechanic is really fun to play but the damage is just that bad. i wanted to main SP for that add on but seems like its impossible to get a spot in a good mythic+ / mythic raid group with SP as a main char.

Can't give an answer to this myself, but will do my best to find it out and let you know. Just noting that your comment has been read!

For this, I can only give VERY limited feedback. I would suggest posting a thread in the Priest forum and include a log of you DPSing over 5+ minutes. Should be able to help a lot more over there.

This has unfortunately felt the same way for over an expansion. We'll see if it gets changed in the future.

Can you please clear this up for me? On your stat priority page, with surrender to madness you have intellect listed as 4th priority. Then later on the same page you describe intellect as "your primary stat." To me these two statements are conflicting. But if intellect is indeed 4th best, is it worth it to go down in item level for some items in order to gain haste? For example, I have gloves that are ilvl 800 with lower intellect and +700 haste. Or I have gloves that are ilvl 810 with higher intellect, but the secondary stats do not include haste. Would I choose the ilvl 800 gloves there, even though it has less intellect?

I am little bit confused... lets say I go for mastery as my primal stat and lets say i have all the % increase dmg traits on artifact weapon activated...isn't mastery better as #1 priority stat cause then mass hysteria golden trait becomes even more broken along with all other % traits right, if we also assume your second priority stat is haste?

Intellect is referred to as a primary stat in regards to Agility/Strength/Intellect/Stamina being available on every piece of gear. We are simply stating this for much newer players. We'll see if we can reword it slightly better!

Yes, you would take the 800 gloves.

I've just come back to WoW after a five year break. I'm gradually getting back in the swing of things, but quest loot has got me puzzled. For example, having completed Deep Doubts, Deep Wisdom, I can choose between Windstrong LeggingsWindstrong Leggings or Leggings of Inner PeaceLeggings of Inner Peace, but the only difference I can see is +1 haste on the latter. Am I missing something? I would have expected there to be more distinction between them - one with crit, one with mastery perhaps?

Hey guys, 

just want to share my expierence with the spriest.

my Stats are atm with ilvl 851:

31% haste

19% crit

47% mastery

I actually Play without STM, but Single Target at Ursoc was for example 210k. Aoe at 2-5 bigger mobs is great, going over 300k.

This is most likely due to the changes that we saw from WoD -> Legion. Stats were removed and just blanket replaced, so those were two very different pieces in MoP, but now are practically the same since the other stats no longer exist.

Ah, yes, that would explain it - thanks, Blainie. There was me thinking that Blizzard would have meticulously revamped all quest loot to compensate. :-) I don't think Icy Veins existed when I Iast played WoW - thanks for a great resource.

No problem! They try hard but sometimes certain rewards do slip through the cracks.

If you ever have any further questions, feel free to ask on our forums and I, or one of our team members, will be happy to help :)

Generic comment being mass posted over the comments threads guys.

We are aware of the changes and our writers are working hard to update the guides to suit what has changed. Currently, there is a lot of work still to be done and it's unlikely that every guide will be up-to-date immediately. Expect a flood of updates over the coming days that will answer all of your questions about what is now best after X change, in time for the reset next week.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

      If you plan on buying the physical War Within Collector's Edition and live in Europe, you're going to have a bad time!
      Blizzard has ceased distributing WoW Collector's Editions through retailers with the release of Dragonflight, making the Blizzard Store the only place to buy them. However, the shipping costs could be a dealbreaker for many collectors eager to acquire the latest edition for the upcoming expansion.
      Reddit user katamai from Serbia posted a screenshot of their order, revealing that the shipping fees exceed the cost of the box itself—280 Euros for shipping compared to 200 Euros for the box, totaling 480 Euros.

      Additionally, Emi, a follower on our Facebook page, reported a shipping cost of 99 Euros to Romania, nearly ten times what it costs to ship to the UK.

      A practical workaround might be to order the Collector's Edition to a UK address and then use a shipping service to forward it to your address in Europe, potentially saving a considerable amount of money.
      How much does it cost to ship the box to your country?

      We've already talked about and taken a first look at the Delve-specific mount coming in the War Within, but now it's time to check out all of its customization options! 
      LeystTV has delved into the mount and shown off all the options, from the different colors to nose, wing, thruster, and top customizations, with glider, blimp, helicopter looks and more! There's even different versions of Horde and Alliance decals to choose from! 

      And these may not even be all the options present at launch, not to mention new ones Blizzard might add with later patches, making this one of the cooler mounts in the game.

      We have a Crest switch fix and weekly maximum increase, as well as a quest fix in retail, the big class tuning pass for Season of Discovery, and more in today's hotfixes.
      April 23 (Source)
      Items
      Season 3 (Dreaming) crests are now correctly removed from players' currency tabs. Players have received a small amount of gold for their unused Dreaming Crests. Players can now earn up to 120 crests of each type per week in Dragonflight Season 4 (was a maximum of 90 per week in Season 3). This will allow for up to 8 upgrades per week, per crest type (was 6 in Season 3). Developers' notes: For players who don't reach their maximum crest earnings in a given week, we've implemented the increasing-seasonal-cap system from previous seasons. Please note that this increase is likely applicable to Season 4 only. We expect the weekly maximum to return to 90 for The War Within Season One. Quests
      Resolved an issue where abandoning the quest "Something Worth Celebrating" could make it unavailable. Cataclysm Classic
      The dates for Children’s Week have been adjusted so that the holiday begins and ends three days later than previously scheduled. Season of Discovery
      Players who have completed the quest "Warranty Claim" but have misplaced their Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor before handing in the quest "Salvaging the Salvagematic" may now speak with the Lost and Found vendor Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay to recover the misplaced quest item. Fixed a Sunken Temple issue where the Atal'ai Defenders encounter would not reset properly. Druid The Natural Weapons talents now increases all damage done by druids in Season of Discovery, instead of just physical damage. The Gale Winds rune now reduces the mana cost of Hurricane by 60%. Swiftmend no longer consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target when used. Developers’ notes: Please note that it does still require Rejuvenation or Regrowth to be on the target to be used. Hunter Rapid Killing now reduces the cooldown of Rapid Fire by 80% (was a reduction of 2 minutes). Chimera Shot weapon damage percent increased to 135% (was 120%). Explosive Shot base damage before attack power increased by 50%. Sniper Training has an additional new effect: while Sniper Training is at 5 stacks, Aimed Shot is instant. Serpent Spread now causes Multi-shot to apply Serpent Sting to its targets for 12 seconds (was 6 seconds). Steady Shot now deals 100% weapon damage (was 75%). Developers’ notes: There are more adjustments coming for Hunters. In general, we intend to improve the ranged playstyle and diminish the melee playstyle so that the two become more equivalent. Paladin Seal of Righteousness damage can now be critical hits. Sacred Shield’s duration is extended to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds). Crusader Strike has now gained an additional effect: Crusader strike now refreshes all judgement effects active on the target to a 30 second remaining duration. Seal of Martyrdom can now “twist” with other seals, including Seal of Command. Developers’ notes: Seal twisting was an interesting emergent effect that became popular during the original Burning Crusade, that utilized the slower server messaging system used in early versions of WoW to slightly extend the duration of the paladin’s active seal for a short time whenever a second seal was cast. This effectively allowed paladins to momentarily gain the benefit of two seals at once if they timed the application of a new seal to line up perfectly just before their weapon swing. We recreated this playstyle in Burning Crusade Classic and since then it’s been a popular request in other versions of original WoW, including Season of Discovery. As the game matures and we continue to listen to player feedback however, we recognize that for some, this is part of the charm and uniqueness of playing a paladin during those early eras of WoW’s history. We consider this change to be experimental and we will watch the performance and behavior of Retribution closely after this change. Priest Shadowform now increases all shadow damage done by 25% (was 15%). Rogue Saber Slash bleed now stacks up to 5 times. Saber Slash bleed now also increases the impact damage done by Sinister Strike and Saber Slash by 15% per stack for the rogue who applied the bleed. Saber Slash bleed now deals 3% of the rogue’s Attack Power in damage per tick (was 5%). Shaman Mental Dexterity now only triggers from dealing damage with Stormstrike and Lava Lash, and it now lasts 30 seconds (was 10 seconds). Burn now increases Flame Shock Damage by 100% and flame shock DoT duration by 6 seconds, and causes Flame Shock to strike up to 5 targets (was 3 targets). Developers’ notes: We’ve received a lot of feedback about the overall usability of mental dexterity, particularly for Elemental Shamans. This ability was not intended to be used by elemental, so the adjustments we’ve made are to help ensure its usage is a bit more enhancement-centric. To compensate, we’ve increased the output and usability of the Burn rune, with a slight quality-of-life improvement in the form of a Flame Shock duration increase which allows two Lava Burst casts to be used within a single Flame Shock duration.
