The
Runed Living Ruby will be the gem that you should be putting into
most gem sockets, even if the colors do not match. Meanwhile, use
Reckless Pyrestone and
Glowing Shadowsong Amethyst to unlock any
worthwhile socket bonuses that require a yellow or blue gem.
Shadow Priest Complete Consumable List
Here we will list off all Shadow Priest consumables by category and their uses. Shadow Priests consumables are fairly straightforward without many alternatives.
Flasks
Flasks are the only real option available to Shadow Priests. You can find your recommended options down below.
Flask of Pure Death — This is best option for you, offering the
highest Spell Power possible.
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.
Potions
Destruction Potion — This potion is great for short fights when
Mana is not a concern.
Super Mana Potion — You will need these potions for longer fights.
Miscellaneous
Stratholme Holy Water — This is useful for helping to AoE
packs of Undead mobs.
Dark Rune /
Demonic Rune — This is another WoW Classic
item that carries over to TBC Classic. It gives you an additional way of restoring
Mana.
Sacred Candle — Make sure you bring a large number of these to
group content so you can keep buffing freely.
Profession Consumables
Here we will list the unique consumables provided by each individual profession.
Enchanting
Superior Wizard Oil — This weapon oil provides a whopping 42
Spell Damage increase; make sure to always keep this up.
First Aid
Heavy Netherweave Bandage — These are great for some Mana-free
healing. Help your healers out whenever possible!
Herbalism
Nightmare Seed — This is a great way to help you survive a
situation where you know there is a large amount of incoming damage.
