Shadow Priest Leveling

This thread is for comments about our Shadow Priest Shadowlands Leveling Guide.

This is thoroughly confusing at level 16:

1. Make sure you still pre-pull with  Smite then apply Shadow Word: Pain.
2.  Mind Blast is a hard-hitting single target spell you should pre-pull with and use on cooldown.

Smite isn't even available in Shadow Priest spec right now.

Thanks for catching that error, fixing now!

On the rotation after Level 11 you should use another description for Devouring Plague, since you already have Mind Flay by then.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Starting at Level 1, you only have  Smite, so just spam this for now.
 

Is the first spell in the rotation no matter where you slide the level bar. 
 

Otherwise, thank you for your amazing work! 

[Guest error in levels]

devouring plague isn't available until level 12, mind flay comes at level ten when you first get shadow form.

Looks like the PVP talent Lasting Plague has been removed recently?

Hi there, why is the "Void Torrent" talent advised, but not present in the rotation?

Can you be specific on what page and section you do not see this listed?

On this page: https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/shadow-priest-pve-dps-rotation-cooldowns-abilities

• It is listed number 11 on the single target rotation section
• It is listed number 5 on the opener rotation section
• It is listed number 12 on the 2-3 target priority section
• It is listed number 11 on the 4-6 target priority section

It is omitted from a few others (notably Shadowflame Prism and 6+ target priority sections) because Void Torrent is not suggested with either of these situations.

Thank you for your reply Publik, and the guide it's really useful!

This is the guide i followed, as i just started playing/leveling...: https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/shadow-priest-leveling-guide

The talent is advised starting at level 45, but not in the rotation? Or am i missing something...

The link on that page directed me to this thread (click on the "10 comments" link.)
