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.

      Cataclysm's Grim Batol has been added to the Mythic+ Dungeon rotation in The War Within Season 1, and one boss received a brand new model recently on the Alpha.
      General Umbriss, the first boss of the dungeon, got a shiny new model, which is quite different from his previous one. Below is a screenshot of the old a new model.

      Blizzard have announced that the item level issues with Timewalking Caches have been fixed and that affected players have received main with the replacement Cache.
      Timewalking (Source)

      Earlier this evening, we rolled out a fix-up for players who opened their Timewalking dungeon / Raid cache before 2:30 p.m. PDT today. Affected players have received an in-game mail with the cache replacement.
      Players who opened their cache after 2:30 p.m. PDT today should find that they received the intended reward(s).
      Thank you!

      Blizzard have clarified why players are able to get a full Spark of Awakening through the two available Splinters in the first week of Dragonflight Season 4, and it seems it's only for this week and only due to catch-up rules being enabled! 
      Splintered Spark (Source)
      Just want to confirm this with some details.
      Everyone essentially started Season 4 in catch-up mode. Players were able to get 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening from the weekly quest, whether that’s the weekly “Last Hurrah” quest or the PvP weeklies offered by Malicia.
      And then you’re able to get another splinter / half-spark from any valid catch-up sources, such as Mythic+, Awakened Raids, and PvP wins.
      Next week and thereafter, only one Splintered Spark is obtainable every week. And like Seasons 2 and 3, with the increasing cap on Splintered Sparks per week, and if you ever fall behind you will be able to get Splintered Sparks from any catch-up source.

      It seems there may be an easier way to obtain the Tusks of Mannoroth appearance during the Mists of Pandaria Remix event! 
      The tusks are one of the rarest transmogs in the game currently, even with the recently added Siege of Orgrimmar skip, as their drop rates are VERY low (0.1-0.3%, reportedly). As spotted by MrGM, the new Tusks of Mannoroth are a cosmetic appearance item added in the new limited time event. Now, some have suggested they may just be purchasable from the Bronze vendor (the currency that will drop off of pretty much anything in the event), making them pretty easy to get, but it seems there might be a different way to get them. 
      It's unclear whether the cosmetic will actually be purchasable or if it will drop somewhere else, but another interesting Mannoroth-related item was added as well, the Bones of Mannoroth, which may be related to the cosmetic.

      As you can see the bones are a stackable resource you gain from killing Garrosh, and it's looking like they're a way to guarantee the Tusk appearance with enough kills! Just how many drop is unclear, but assuming you need all 20 for the appearance and that Normal drops 1, Heroic 2 and Mythic 3 bones, it may take at least 7 weeks to get them. Now the number required might be/is likely to be lower than the 20  stack maximum, and we may get more bones per kill.
      But even at 7 weeks it's much, much easier to get than the current "hope for 0.3%" in retail, so it's still a pretty good deal! This may or may not upset players that farmed for the tusks for a long time the regular way, but there's a whole lot players that will be thrilled!
      The Remix: Mists of Pandaria event starts on May 16th and should last until August 19th.
