Shadow Priest PvP Talents and Builds — 12.0.7

The Omnium Folio is a new system introduced in Midnight's Patch 12.0.7, and offers some minor performance-enhancing customization options after a multi-week quest series. Some of these bonuses affect your damage output, while others are more defensive in nature.

We recommend you pick the following bonuses in the first couple of weeks, but as you can freely switch between them at any time, feel free to experiment with other options yourself if you feel you do not get enough mileage out of the recommended options:

• Week 1: Rune of Void-Touched Orbs
• Week 2: Rune of Self-Mending
• Week 3: Rune of Lingering
• Week 4: Rune of the Versatile Warrior
• Week 5: Rune of Echoes

You can choose three of the following PvP talents. Each of them has their uses, but some are better for certain strategies than others. The top three choices are the most useful but can be replaced with other PvP talents depending on your team's goal.

Phase Shift should primarily be used when you will be the focus for the enemy team. This causes you to avoid all attacks and spells for 1 sec after using Fade.

Psyfiend is a crucial spell that channels Psyflay on the target. This deals damage and reduces the healing received by the target by 50%. A well-timed Psyfiend can quickly end games.

Cascading Horrors is a situational talent that offers you more damage and crowd control. When you enter Voidform, you send out a bolt that deals damage and fears enemies hit by it. Because melee that target you will be stacked close to you, this is a great talent versus teams with 2 melee on it.

Driven to Madness makes it so while Voidform is not active, being attacked will grant you 9 Insanity over 3 seconds. It is important to note that these attacks need to be melee, and this is a powerful PvP talent against teams with a melee DPS on it.

Mind Trauma steals Haste from enemy players. Mind Spike and fully channeled Mind Flays grant 1 stack of this, fully channeled Void Torrent grants 3 stacks. This is a useful PvP talent against all matchups.
