Shadow Priest PvP Gear Guide for WotLK Classic

The gear list below is following the stat priority of Hit Cap (4%) > Spell Penetration (75 soft cap, 130 hard cap) > Resilience > Spell Power > Spirit and will include items available exclusively from Wrath Dungeons/Raids, Professions, PvP, and Reputation rewards.

This page only focuses on the best in slot gear for a PvP Shadow Priest. You can learn more about how to leverage your unique skills by reading our full Shadow Priest PvP guide below:

This is a list of items that are considered to be best in each slot for PvP based content. If you are instead looking for a PvE-focused list for either pre-raid or best-in-slot gear, make sure to check out our Priest gearing hub below. Some PvE gear is used even in PvP, allowing you to use certain items almost all of the time.
