I enjoyed DA for about half the season and didnt mind the season 3 tier. But damn last week on fort I was loving the shadow build and VF. I became a shadow main because of the Shadowy apparitions and how it looked, so anything to get more of that is my type of Shadow Priest.
@@IIxVENDETTAx I know, I took a break at the end of 10.0 and missed most of the session with that tier set and didn’t really get to understand it. Season 4 thankfully, I’ll get to really enjoy it.
Was playing Spriest (my FAVORITE dps with Ele Shaman by a KILOMETER) in S1, took a break cause life happens and coming back now in the doors of S4 (most likely) and i feel kinda lost with the tier set/builds (focusing more on m+) and so on but i ALWAYS come here first for Shadowy insight (joke intended). Keep the shade bussiness going ❤
I honestly don't care about Shadowfiend/Mindbender and Inescapable Torment, idc about Idol of Yogg that summons a random void being, I just want my Shadow Priest to pump out ghosts and nothing but ghosts. I would kill to have a Shadow tree where ghosts are rewarded for using Mind Flay Void Torrent, ghosts flying in all directions as my main AoE, and ghosts exploding out all at once when I hit SW:Death correctly. It's the best visual feedback for a spec where most spells have next to no VFX or animation, it should be used as a visual indicator of how well we are performing.
Recommended Spec for Newer Spriest in Season 4? Thanks for the guide @publik. Going to main Shadow Priest in Season 4, gearing him in M+ 18-20s atm. What build would you suggest for someone who's a 22ish key pusher but doesn't have much desire to go higher? Other sites suggest Yog builds. Curious what you think is best for 18-22s.
Hey Publik, love your videos. I've been a silent watcher of your videos since a long time. Im thinking of starting a SPriest and I wanted to know what build you'd recommend as a cookie cutter for casual HC and 18-20ish keys? Something I could start off with and then deviate once I have figure out the class.
Raid Builds can be found here: www.icy-veins.com/wow/shadow-priest-pve-dps-amirdrassil-raid-guide Mythic+ builds are on this page: www.icy-veins.com/wow/shadow-priest-pve-dps-mythic-plus-tips For M+ builds I would suggest starting out with the DA N'Zoth C'Thun variant for most things.
Picked up Shadow Priest very recently and I enjoy Void Erruption a lot and Mind Spike aswell, though I gotta be honest it is frustrating to play when the runs aren’t consistent. For example if on one run the tank goes for a big trash pull and you are popping everything its so good, but on other pulls they go slow and you have to hold cause well… everything would in an instant…
Kinda unrelated to the topic of this video, but do you swap gear other than trinkets for high m+? When I sim 40 seconds multi target it seems like mastery has insane value, but on ST sims all stats are kinda equal
Should I play the Disorted Reality build even though I am running +16-18s currently? I mean most of the trash won’t survive 12 seconds Or which build would you recommend for those keys
What are you guys running for secondaries? Right now, vers is actually simming the same as mastery for me, with crit/haste tied for 3rd/4th place I'm at 3300 crit, 5400 haste, 6000 mastery, and 1300 vers. I'm crafting some 486 pieces and I'm tempted to go vers/mastery. Just wondering what you are all running

Hello, Publik, Your videos saved me both in S1 and now, started WOW with DF SPriest as my first class, im really competitive so i jumped into M+ and raiding 1 month into the game The game was so confusing at first i only made it to 1700 io and heroic Vault 5/8, had to quit before 10.0.7 came out due to work, and came back 1 month ago Im currently 2200 IO with HC Amir cleared but im still struggling in +20s i have 475 ilvl rn and i feel like i do no dmg and die quickly compared to other classes my ILV, even some other SPriests, i got discouraged with SPriest at the beggining because i was doing so bad and it annoyed me, so i made a Palidin, i didnt struggle as much with Ret so i figured i was just awful with Priest, im also still confused when it comes to mass dispeling. Your videos always help me and give me the urge to play SPriest, keep it up :)
This build is for sure the better version of shadow priest to play, DA is just not a very satisfying button to press, I really hope the archon tree builds off of void eruption a little bit.
I miss BFA spriest before the rework. The ghost build was the best in BFA. The pressure and adrenaline I got from pushing to stay in Voidform was the best.
This season i've been playing disc and recently trying to get back into shadow, and its not been clear to me why which talents are run and for what, these videos are really helpful. Maybe once i get more that 1k mastery ill do some dmg. copium. I really prefer to play with void eruption its just really nice having voidbolt and playing around it. I dont like how dark ascension is a casted cooldown. It doesnt make any sense, and then when youre done casting there is no sense of satisfaction or animation or anything that makes it feel worth it. that being said, i do prefer having a 1 minute cd. So i do mostly play with dark ascension anyways. Even thought my mastery is really low
@@Publikwow I would think so. Just feeling like you get to play an extended version of your rotation just inherently feels more powerful than just a flat stat increase. Its just a lot more exciting and cool. If they added a button or rotation effect with dark ascension (or maybe took it off of the gcd and removed the cast from it) it might feel better.
They like it better probably. Just because some of them play it that way doesn’t make it actually better. In my testing spike beats flay by about 5% in all AoE scenarios with minds eye. Voidtouched could be taken over another flex point but it’s about 1% behind other points. Also those players are good enough they can play just about any talent build in those keys and perform well. They are just good
You kinda confuse us man I keep taking screenshots and you Change build again , we’re not all as good as you I don’t have that much time with the game , I came here for usual single target/ multi target build not a hundred build and you make me choose what’s the point if you flip the choice back to me ?
Shadowy Apparitions is still the coolest looking effect of all wow classes. I wish Blizzard would give us a ghost summoner spec :D

U woulda loved it last season then tier set was so good !

We will see Ghost build goes brrrrr at MDI tomorrow
RIP ghosts after that again. Especially with us getting season 2 tier set
Publik spriest are killing it now. Crazy how far we've come from he start of s3.

Probably gonna have to wait for the tuning pass.
I would only use Dark Ascension at that key level in Season 3. In Season 4 still TBD

He has many Videos about all builds. Would recommend watching them 👍🏻

For M+ builds I would suggest starting out with the DA N'Zoth C'Thun variant for most things.
Thank you 🙏, I'll browse through the IV guides you linked.

Yeah this is the main reason I suggest using DA + N'Zoth/C'Thun in those environments.
favorite build so far

No I generally still like to keep things aligned with what’s in the guide on my character
Should I play the Disorted Reality build even though I am running +16-18s currently? I mean most of the trash won’t survive 12 seconds

I would personally but try out minds eye if you want :) not that much diff

What build would you recommend for someone new to spriest but I’m pushing into 20s right now. I basically only pug
I would suggest the DA N’Zoth C’Thun build from this page: www.icy-veins.com/wow/shadow-priest-pve-dps-mythic-plus-tips
What's the name of the song on intro ?
Hello, Publik,
Your videos saved me both in S1 and now, started WOW with DF SPriest as my first class, im really competitive so i jumped into M+ and raiding 1 month into the game
The game was so confusing at first i only made it to 1700 io and heroic Vault 5/8, had to quit before 10.0.7 came out due to work, and came back 1 month ago
Im currently 2200 IO with HC Amir cleared but im still struggling in +20s i have 475 ilvl rn and i feel like i do no dmg and die quickly compared to other classes my ILV, even some other SPriests, i got discouraged with SPriest at the beggining because i was doing so bad and it annoyed me, so i made a Palidin, i didnt struggle as much with Ret so i figured i was just awful with Priest, im also still confused when it comes to mass dispeling.
Your videos always help me and give me the urge to play SPriest, keep it up :)
if u dont want to die get vers around 3k and use fade often with 10% dmg redution talent.
This build is for sure the better version of shadow priest to play, DA is just not a very satisfying button to press, I really hope the archon tree builds off of void eruption a little bit.
Am I missing the Priest tree or is that just built from a normal Priest tree?
Normal priest tree. Doesn’t change with this build specifically
I miss BFA spriest before the rework. The ghost build was the best in BFA. The pressure and adrenaline I got from pushing to stay in Voidform was the best.
Even better in legion, but yea, i sure miss those days
Hmmm what other specs have that vibe? Dragonrage extensions are important for Dev. What else fights to extend their main CD?
This season i've been playing disc and recently trying to get back into shadow, and its not been clear to me why which talents are run and for what, these videos are really helpful. Maybe once i get more that 1k mastery ill do some dmg. copium.
I really prefer to play with void eruption its just really nice having voidbolt and playing around it. I dont like how dark ascension is a casted cooldown.

Yeah I think most people prefer Void Eruption tbh

Hey Publik, any video about you macros?
No video about it but all the ones I use are here: www.icy-veins.com/wow/shadow-priest-pve-dps-macros-addons
I really need rotation lists please
Everything you need I’ve put here: www.icy-veins.com/wow/shadow-priest-pve-dps-rotation-cooldowns-abilities
fun build.
I think Voidtouch > Mind Spike on the Mind's Eye build.
In my testing it’s not even close
Serious question:
How come the boys doing 30/31 keys playing this?
What makes mindspike better then voidtouch?
They like it better probably. Just because some of them play it that way doesn’t make it actually better. In my testing spike beats flay by about 5% in all AoE scenarios with minds eye. Voidtouched could be taken over another flex point but it’s about 1% behind other points.
Also those players are good enough they can play just about any talent build in those keys and perform well. They are just good
@@Publikwowthx for the answer
ok but rotation ?
Check out this video Shadow Priest Mythic+ Rotation Guide (Season 3 - 10.2.5)
ruclips.net/video/0fuDMXTTao8/видео.html
Why is the intro always a day mood setter.
You have to play this build in highkeys or you will deal very less dmg
sod tag?? sad
Hm? I didn’t tag this as SoD
You kinda confuse us man I keep taking screenshots and you Change build again , we’re not all as good as you I don’t have that much time with the game , I came here for usual single target/ multi target build not a hundred build and you make me choose what’s the point if you flip the choice back to me ?
So basically for me a low 20s player this build is completely irrelevant, sad
To be honest you can time a +20 with basically any build. Just have fun and try it :)
