As expected there was recently announced trinket tuning here: www.wowhead.com/news/possible-season-4-trinket-tuning-on-patch-10-2-7-ptr-338653?webhook What this will likely mean: - Whispering Incarnate Icon will still be strong, but shouldn't be head and shoulders above everything else. - Belor'relos having a GCD now is actually quite painful, I could see this falling out of favor generally. - Other changes are less relevant for Shadow specifically. New sims to come soon, gist will be updated in a few days.
That opening 20 seconds or so in Brackenhide with Auspicious Spirits just flowing from you is the coolest thing. That is by far my favorite spell animation in the entire game and extremely flavorful simultaneously.
Thank you for posting this. I'm taking a break from tanking for S4 and I spun a wheel. Landed on shadow priest, and i've never played one before. I'll be around in the discord and won't hesitate if I have questions.
great video as always, you never fail to get me excited about playingshadow each season (as an elesham main refugee PepeHands) mby a lil tangent but it dawned on me while watching that season 3 teirset should be made into idol of yshaarj. s3 tiers is just fun to press, visually engaging etc. it would give us an opt in new execute profile enhancement, mby the range should be increased to like 35% and then have it do more damage based on targets missing hp - obviously would require tunning but would be cool to have. people seem to like s3 tier and it could make a fun addition to base toolkit. outisde of s3 tier it the only incentive to even use the button (SW:D) is the low hp boss in the raid and its a type of ability that is super prone to numerical balace - it wouldnt be unheard of not to even press it if its tuned poorly. looking forward TWW hero spec trees, they sure are comming this week right? #copium
Thanks for the guide. I have a feeling a lot of these tier sets bonuses will end up being hero talents for shadow. Little bit worried we have no news on it yet
@publik was kinda curious you not saying anything about rage feather from nokud is it that bad now cause i was considering doing that and incarnet icon. good vid as always cheers man
It was nerfed at the end of Season 1, and never buffed again. So unless that gets reverted i do not think it will be BiS, but still a decent choice at least in mythic+.
Where does Furious Ragefeather land on the trinket scale? I didn't hear that one mentioned, and as far as i remember, that one was top tier in Season 1. Has it been nerfed since then, or other trinkets just out-performing it because we'd rather want secondary stats? Also, how are you summoning that many spirits in the start while channeling Void Torrent? Tormented Spirits and Screams combo doing their thing, or?
Unfortunately Feather was nerfed at the end of Season 1 going into Season 2 and it was never buffed back up to relevancy. It is an okay trinket but as of right now there are much better options. Yes to the second question + some amount of luck :)
@publikwow Which talent setup do you think would be the easiest rotationally for a new shadow player? I tend to perform much better with a simple rotation and less buttons - but obviously not viable if its a large damage sacrifice. Both for M+ and Raiding
I would definitely stick to the Dark Ascension builds for raid and mythic+. Void Eruption adds in Void Bolt which is just another low-cooldown spell to manage.
Very nice video, just starting SP. Maybe i missed it but i do not have the time to raid for gear. Is it possible to get the gear you mention in this video via the new currency or what is the best m+ gear you can get?❤
What u think about running double passive trinkets for m+? I guess u just send your dinars on the 2 rings and the cloak as they are rare items with extra ilvl? And fyrakk weapon and trinkets easy to get no?
Double passive is more than fine but I imagine a lot of folks will like using spoils or ashes. As for dinars/bullions what you send it on will depend on what actually drops in the raid. If you get it to drop no need to waste a token on it. Whispering, Call to Suffering, Rings, or Vakash will all be good examples. Cloak probably not high priority
@@Publikwow yeah dude it was the strangest thing. The link wouldn’t load for like 8-10min. I tried everything, and then I reset my computer for some driver updates and it worked like normal right after. Thank you for the quick response. Loving the WA’s so far!
Will we get Incandescent Essence from any of the raid encounters or? I searched alot but couldnt find any info how we gonna obtain this helmet enchant in season 4.
We don’t know for sure but assuming it’ll still be the same item we have now since it auto scales based on the item. If you don’t have it now I’m guessing you can just either farm it now or after the patch launches.
Distorted reality sucks in low keys. Packs die too quick to really get a bunch of devouring plagues going. Go minds eye. And prio damage is nice as well when in low keys u got a warrior and ret blasting aoe pad and the high health mobs lives for 15 seconds longer than everything else. If you do run distorted reality in low keys. Do not send devouring plague when packs are are like 20% health. That’s basically about to die. Basically if a pack is dying in like 8-10 seconds or less, Just save it for next pack. Spread a couple and then just do ur rotation without spending insanity. Of course keep the target ur attack with devouring plague. But I mean just don’t spread when they are about to die. Packs won’t last long enough to get like 5-6 plagues up. With void touched u probably won’t cap so just pool at the end of packs. And going in to next pack with 100 insanity is rly nice.
Maddening touch is bad in keys where u aren’t pulling a lot. Of course it scales with more enemies. So even with low gear as Publik says, I wouldn’t go maddening touch if I didn’t think there was going to be big enough pulls (8+) If ur tank is pulling 5 or less mobs at a time. Mind devourer is much much better.

I don't get how is he spawning so many of those?! XD I never have that many coming out of my priest wtf
Tormented Spirits and lots of haste/screams of the void :)
Thanks again Publik! Tips and tricks for specific dungeons would be a great topic.
Noted!

Welcome to Shadow!
As always, very good theory crafting, thank you Publik 💜!
That spirit build looks fantastic, I gotta get me some of that
S2 tierset is so much better. I took a break from shadow to chill with the ferals but I can't sit this season out! Can't wait for the 40%> haste!
Love your tips! Really appreciate the work you put in to give quality advice :)
You are so welcome!
Thx keep up the work Publik.
I am so much looking forward to fight with 95% of my raid for those 2 Rings and the Incarnate icon drops...
At least everyone can use your bullions to buy those :)
so many spirits 🤤

Writing up this exact info in the icy veins guide, will be on the gear page before launch

Thanks for the guide. Your weak-aura link isn't working for some reason. is their an updated version.
Which link wasn’t working? Just tried wago.io/p/Publik and it worked for me. Sometimes the website has issues though

so glad shadow word pain is no longer part of the rotation in s4
I actually find the s3 tier set enjoyable

Hey can anyone explain why there are apporictions spawning while he is channeling void torrent i dont really get why ? Thx for the help
Those are procs of the Tormented Spirits talent
thank you god sp
Omg yes I've been waiting for this! - Milcah_US_Illidan
how does your character sometimes look like the thing from beyond? thats cool lol
That is the Neltharions Call to Suffering trinket proc!
Thanks! Thats cool
post PTR dungeons with either commentary / guide or either post it as a clip from your livestreams :)
Maddening touch is bad in keys where u aren’t pulling a lot. Of course it scales with more enemies. So even with low gear as Publik says, I wouldn’t go maddening touch if I didn’t think there was going to be big enough pulls (8+)
If ur tank is pulling 5 or less mobs at a time. Mind devourer is much much better.
ty
do you have your UI public?
I have a link in my discord to the whole UI file but i typically only update it once an expansion. its mostly in pieces with various things
how about the feather trinket from nokhud offensive ?
It was nerfed at the end of season 1, and has yet to be buffed back at all. In the current state it is okay but definitely not a top tier trinket.
@@Publikwow had to run back here after all the trinket nerfs!
The trinkets got nerfed like 2 weeks ago
All the advice from this video is from latest sims that were run with those nerfs. I am expecting even more tuning in the future though.
please link that plater profile lol
This is more or less updated, will do another pass when s4 launches wago.io/mO6BO5dHG
Thank you king ❤️
