Meanwhile, use Reckless Pyrestone Icon Reckless Pyrestone and Glowing Shadowsong Amethyst Icon Glowing Shadowsong Amethyst to unlock any worthwhile socket bonuses that require a yellow or blue gem.

Flasks are the only real option available to Shadow Priests. You can find your recommended options down below.

  • Flask of Pure Death Icon Flask of Pure Death — This is best option for you, offering the highest Spell Power possible.
  • Flask of Supreme Power Icon Flask of Supreme Power — These are slightly worse than your best option, but might cost much less on your server.

Food Buff

All 3 of these options offer the same amount of Spell Power. Pick whichever one you can get most easily or is cheapest.
