Shadow Priest PvP Best Arena Compositions (Dragonflight 10.2.6)

In 2v2 Arena, you want to be playing with a healer that has a reliable stun. Your goal is to get into Voidform as fast as you can so you can start casting powerful DoT spells. When you are ready to use your burst rotation, you should Silence the enemy healer. Your healer should stun the kill target so they cannot kite or interrupt your damage. Follow up your Silence with a Psychic Scream. If you are playing with a Holy Paladin, they can then use Repentance. You can do this crowd control chain every 45 seconds.

Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:

• Shadow Priest + Holy Paladin
• Shadow Priest + Feral Druid
• Shadow Priest + Restoration Druid
• Shadow Priest + Arcane Mage

Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena. Shadow Priests are crucial to their team. You need to maintain your DoTs ( Vampiric Touch and Shadow Word: Pain), but you must also crowd control the enemy healer and DPS. You do this by using Silence on the healer and Psychic Horror on your kill target or the target you want to peal. The Silence prevents the healer from dispelling the Psychic Horror. Be careful, because some classes can reflect/immune the Mind Bomb. For example, a Havoc Demon Hunter can use Reverse Magic or a Death Knight can use Anti-Magic Shell. Outside of doing your normal/burst rotation, you have great utility in the form of Leap of Faith.

Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:

• RPS (Shadow Priest + Assassination Rogue/Subtlety Rogue + Restoration Shaman)
• Shadow Priest + Arms Warrior + Preservation Evoker/Holy Paladin
• Shadow Priest + Havoc Demon Hunter + Restoration Shaman
• Shadowplay (Shadow Priest + Demonology Warlock + Restoration Shaman/Restoration Druid)
• Shadow Priest + Windwalker Monk + Preservation Evoker/Restoration Druid
