It's not constant if it increases...

You can have a constant increase. It means that it increases by the same amount each second.

The guide for Shadow Priest shows it was updated for 7.1 but it also still reads

 

In 7.1 this is no longer the case. The Shadowform is back in its prior form. Here is the link ShadowformShadowform however it actually says 10% Shadow Damage and 10% Physical Damage reduction in game and no longer costs mana.

Made a note for the writer, thanks!

I did some logs and found out that using Voit torrent at the end (instead of the beginning) of voidform increased my DPS consistantly.

I take it that this isn't that shocking news, but why do you cast Void torrent at the beginning instead of the end of voidform when it is a DPS loss?

Data to support my statement:

Can someone please explain.... in 1.1 and 1.2 it shows intellect as the 4th priority stat and yet in 2.1 it states that intellect is the primary stat.  This seems a contradiction?

Primary stats are Intellect, Agility, Strength, and Stamina.  Secondary stats are Critical Strike, Haste, Mastery, and Versatility.

This is explained further in the Mastery section below. Section 5.6.3.

Yes i've seen that, in my opinion using void torrent at the end is better because of 2 reasons:

1. more haste = more ticks (each 25% haste gives one tick)

2. You can use it when both void bolt and mind blast are on CD and mind flay wont keep you in voidform till they are back up.

Yet dispite this criteria, it is still stated that one must use voidtorrent as the 1st ability when entering voidform.

5.6.3. doesn't state that you should still use voidtorrent at the end of your voidform even without the use of power infusion, heroism ect.

In a standard scenario when power infusion is on CD, there is no herioism, no trinket procs (like chrono shard), the use of surrender to madness is out of the question and no damage increase buffs in general are in play. you should always use voidtorrent at the moment your voidbolt and mindblast are on CD and you will know with 100% certainty that you are about to run out of insanity. When voidtorrent is done channeling you will be able to use voidbolt (and mindblast in some cases) one more time resulting in a dps gain compared to using voidtorrent in the very beginning.

Please do correct me if i'm in the wrong here. This is based on personal experience (with the hastecap of 12000 reached) and i can understand that in the more common scenario things in terms of spell usage may differ.

Thank you for this thread......very very helpful. I was wondering where would Power Torrent be used in the rotation?

I think there is a mistake at the 3.1.2 section.

It said that if we chose the tier 5 talent Auspicious Spirits we should dot Shadow word pain on all targets. But the shadowy apparitions are called by Vampiric Touch and not Shadow word pain isnt it ?

So with Auspicious Spirit talent we should dot Vampiric touch no ?

I don't want to overstep my reach here and make a mistake, so I'll forward your comments to the guide writer and see if I can get a response there. It will either end with a much more detailed response than I can give or a change to the guide. Both are good outcomes! I'll let you know ASAP!

That's great to hear. Although the haste-crit values have changes (9500 haste and 9000 crit, rest goes to mast.) my point still stands.

I'll look forward to hear from you again :).

Hi, I have an issue regarding gear for the shadow spec, still getting used to the rotation, but the stats on the gear I get are mostly mastery and versatility, the result now being 51% mastery, do I just skip on those and get gear with crit and haste instead?

Thanks

Yeah, that would be best. This is especially true if you are using StM, since you need the Haste.

I have not seen this mentioned, but mind bender still generates insanity so if you use it and dispersion/ void torrent your going to gain insanity back.  you can cast  void form and VT back to back to basically refill your insanity while you mindbender just chomps away. it may be a bug but it has been working for a while.

The guides are currently being updated for 7.1.5! I just wanted to leave a few notes for all of our users that might be getting ready to leave a comment:

  • Some pages do not require updates. The "Last Updated" stat does not mean the page is out of date, it might just not have needed any changes. If you feel that it does, leave a comment telling us what needs changing and why.
  • The process will not happen immediately - some guides will be updated faster than others simply due to the number of resources available. Be patient, they'll be ready when you need them!
  • There might be some continuity errors when making small adjustments to large guide pages. If you do find one of these, just let us know in the comments and we'll get it fixed ASAP.
  • "Why have you not taken into account X buff to X ability?" - remember, just because something got buffed, it doesn't mean it is now automatically better than the other options!

As always, we want to thank you all for being patient while we get things updated and I'm always available to help you all if you need it :)

section 1.1 Explanations on Legendaries page incorrectly states that total Mind Blast charges will be 3 still. The item is correctly updated and displays 7.1.5 changes to reflect that it now provides 1 additional Mind Blast charges (down from 2 additional charges).

Gear section hasn't been updated yet; will happen later in the week along with a Nighthold tier list.

      We'd like to introduce you to a game-changing nameplate addon for Season 4 that's essential for excelling in Mythic+ dungeons.
      Tracking every mob and their abilities in Mythic+ can be overwhelming, but this addon excels by replacing standard mob nameplates and cast bars to enhance your gameplay.
      Once installed, mobs with critical interrupts will display a thick orange cast bar, while less crucial ones will show a thinner yellow bar.

      Mobs with less crucial interrupts will have a thinner yellow cast bar.

      Additionally, any mobs that inflict heavy frontal cone damage are marked with an arrow and feature orange cast bars. A voice alert will also prompt you to move by announcing "front."

      The addon further assists by indicating non-interruptible spells that require crowd control with a purple cast bar and a vocal "cc" alert.

      For tanks, if you're not holding aggro, the nameplates of the mobs will turn red, quickly showing you which ones to target.

      There's also a handy visual cue on the cast bar, surrounded by a green border, signaling when you can interrupt an ability and your interrupt skill is off cooldown.

      Ready to try it out?
      You can download Quazii Plater here.
      For setup assistance, watch Quazii's comprehensive video guide.
      Quazii has also created a Mythic+ cheatsheet that details all critical abilities for Season 4 dungeons, available in a text format.

      Players are currently unable to catalyze gear from the Black Temple Timewalking cache into class set piece.
      It's unclear whether this limitation is a bug or an intended feature, but the gear obtained from completing this week's Black Temple Timewalking quest cannot be converted into a set piece using the Revival Catalyst, as reported on Reddit.
      I personally checked this at Antuka and can confirm that gear from the weekly quest cache cannot be catalyzed. I received the Grips of Damnation from the Essence boss yesterday, and found that the item was ineligible for conversion at the Catalyst.

      Here's how you can upgrade your legendary weapons in Dragonflight Season 4 next week!
      This one is for Fyr'alath and Nasz'uro owners. You must first farm 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. However, you can only acquire 1 Antique Bronze Bullion per week from Awakened Raid bosses. The bullion will drop in Raid Finder difficulty too.
      Next week, the cap will be raised to 2 and a catch-up method will be implemented, so players who didn't have the chance to get their first bullion can get it from the weekly quest in Valdrakken.
      Anyway, the soonest you can upgrade your legendary to the base item level of 502 is during the week of April 30th (so next week).
      Once you have 2 Antique Bronze Bullions, head to the Parting Glass in Valdrakken.

      Evokers need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Death Knights, Paladins, and Warriors need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for  2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Once purchased, use the consumable to upgrade your legendary to item level 502, the base item level for Season 4.
      After that, you can further upgrade your legendary using Flightstones and crests. Check out our gear upgrading guide for more info!
