nice guide, im playing shadow priest at warmane lordaeron server, and i read like 35-40 shadow priest guides, basically you did a great summary of all of the guide that i read, you can consider stacking haste rating until your vampiric touch casting time is equal 1.00 secs that is like 1300 app
To clear some things up: 1.) On heavy multi-dotting encounters (lady deathwhisper, lichking 25heroic...) you WILL go oom without the focussed mind talent 2.) Glyph Dispersion is a must-have for lk 25 heroic 3.) As far as i know, shadow weaving (and all other effects) on shadow-word pain gets automatically updated on mindflay-cast, no nead to snapshot 4.) Casting results in a small "CD" on your autoattacks, so 99% of the time, you will not get an autoattack off, unless you do 2-3 GCD-Spells
why do you need glyph of dispersion? with it 1 priest can tank spirits every time. But 95% of icc HC runs will have 2 shadow priests and off tanks job is to tank that damage not shadow priests. And with glyph of mind seer you do more aoe damage to dps valkiers in PH 2. and in RS hc too
@@arturasmarma525 mind sear is only ramge, not dmg. 1 Shadow Priest can NOT soak all spirits in p3, you need 2 for the phases with 2 soaks (for example after the 2. Grab/frostmourne)
@@the_l0st317 Mind sear increased range literally increases its damage more often then not, Dispersion glyph imo is ONLY good at Sindragosa HC for the cheesy blisterings.
Love the content lately! Just started playing again on another wrath fresh server and all the ICC fights bring back memories from raiding on Lordaeron! Keep it up brother
Im glad i visited this guide. (Best vid title!) Love the sense of humor :) Btw- i used to use the miks scrolling combat text but its to messy after all. It literaly mess the center of Ur screen , ui. Once angain- this guy made my day better with the LK comments, OMG ROTFL :D
Nice video i only wamt to point out on shadow world:pain ---> as u said its keep the damage thats include crit and sp as well , 1. soo u always pre -potion everyfight with wild magic for more crit and sp for 15sec . 2 u actually wait till most spell power procc on you under 15sec(till wild magic up) into the fight like : tailoring back enchant , icc ring and trinkets which all increase spell power. I play spriest as well and sometimes i just wait 10-11sec into the fight for more spell power procc and then use my SWP.
@@AwbeeX57 I dont understand. In thevideo you say snaphoting the dot matters and this guy agrees with you. Then you say here it doesn't matter and that it gets recalculated?
Remember to use [nochanneling] macro only if you have below 100 ms of latency, otherwise its dps loss as macro conditionals works client side and even though your mind flay channel was complete on server, your client still thinks its channeling and does not let you transmit new cast of mindflay for atleast *YOUR LATENCY * milliseconds. That is the whole reason to install Quartz like channel mods to know when to cast spells in advance so that you send early casts even though they are not finished. Plus you might wanna know about addon named "Event Horizon" to make sure you never clip your dots and they are always up on target, plus it lets you know when to start casting clippable dot so it gets applied right when old dot is expired and not after its respective casting time. Overall very informative and thorough guide. Kudos to you.
You're actually losing a little bit of DPS/damage at the start of your rotation as you're using your first Mind Flay without SW:P on the target, because of the Twisted Faith talent. Though, you'll have to reapply your SW:P after you have your Shadow Weaving stacked up. Also, you're better off not casting MF, if you cannot use its full cast time, when you're about to refresh Vampiric Touch (1.3-1.4s of your VT remaining on the target). It's better to use Mind Blast in that situation, because not using all of the MF ticks is considered a DPS loss.
Nah man, in no situation would i ever use Mind blast over mind flay, if it doesn't crit it does less then 1 tick of mind flay, its garbage once T10 is attained, also if you're reapplying your shadow word: pain after 3 gcds to stack shadow weaving you're absolutely loosing the snapcasting effect i was talking about.
BLT for raid cds, Grid for raid UI, MSBT for dmg numbers, NTK for the timer bars aaaand thats it rlly got some other minor ones, you can find them all in my Discord, they won't work for Classic WoW though :)
what race would you go on horde? Troll is best right? I just like the visuals of undead and i wonder how much better trolls are? If they are considerably strong i'll stick to troll tho.
Hi Awbee. Can you please tell me what's the best back for a shadow priest before Halion heroic? Halion normal, Valithria heroic or maybe Deathbringer Saurfang heroic? Currently I have 1122 haste, so I'm not capped, using eof back.
@@AwbeeX57 Thanks. Btw, why do you use Inner Focus on Mind Flay, not the Vampiric Touch? I think whole VT does more damage than whole MF, so the crit boost works better for VT imo
Engineering + JC or Engi + Tailoring, tailoring being the cheaper one and easier to get without mining if thats the issue, also its a lil more focused on burst.
Yeah, The SP bonus is really good from Tailoring, but it is on a CD, if it procs at the wrong moment (usually later into the fight then the start..) you wont get much value out of it, whereas JC is a steady profit, Tailoring is a gambit that can pay off, especially in the hands of a skilled player who tracks his internal cooldowns.
I am just starting warmane wotlk, on lordaeron. Which class is the easiest to play and make mistakes with? I don't want to be the one to make mistakes in the dungeon. And I've tried many addons but I just can't seem to make the perfect UI for myself. I need someone to hold my hand like a baby.
It's not useless. If you want to truly max out your dps you have to pay attention to decimal seconds of your dots and if there is not enough time before refreshing for a full mind flay it's better to use mind blast. Another thing I've noticed in AwbeeX57's video that he doesn't interrupt mind flay when dots are already gone. It's good to have an addon that shows when particular mind flay ticks happen on your cast bar (like Quartz) so when you're channeling mind flay and you see that vampiric touch is about to expire - you wait for example for the 2nd tick of flay and start casting VT to hit the perfect spot for refreshing it. It may sound odd but it's a good practice to interrupt those mind flays, takes time to master tho.
i am doing the rotation right on my spriest but i am always outdps-ed by other class that has lower gs than me. btw i am still using t9 parts and some frost emblem gears (from my disc spec) but it concerns me because i can't know for the love of me what am i doing wrong. is there a minimum haste or crit should i reach to do huge numbers? my haste is sitting at 800+ but i don't know how to make it higher.
When you get T10 and you can drop Mind Blast from your rotation you'll see a significant spike in DPS, Shadow priest is also not ment to be top DPS due to the amazing utility we provide, if you can be the best shadow priest you've ever seen it's enough, don't try to fight the top DPS classes unless you have a skill gap between you and them.
Hello mate, i just discovered your channel few days ago and ofc im already subscribed, your content is amazing and I really like watching your streamming.. I currently play in Warmane but in Lordaeron Realm .. and i have a huge question to ask about gear... I really enjoy spriest and i have 5.5 gs atm with full T10 but i have problems with haste cap.. I've read a lot of guides, watch a lot of videos but still I can't understand how do reach 1200 haste .. Like i said i have full T10 but my haste is only 700... so I have no idea how to reach 1200.. I believe my problem is with gems.. since in all guides say to use the gem colour that matches the socked colour, but in this video u never mention using yellow gems which gives haste.. you only mention using red + blue gems... so now i am even MORE confused.. I was thinking in regeming ALL my items to gem only with +20 haste but now I don't know if this is a good idea or not :(:..... please help me with that :(
Yeah this is al super bis where you can forget about 20 haste gems and focus on 12 SP 10 haste, if you need more haste ofcourse put 20 haste in your yellows, just don't put 20 haste in your reds and make sure your meta gem is activated.
Hey man, can you make a video how to setup the grid like you did. I am interested in setting up grid like you did. I am interested in those icons that show spells. Like magic spells etc.
Grid is slowly eating away at my patience because it doesn't wanna work, eventually ill swap to a new UI probably, wouldn't take much to make a video about grid setup tho ill add it to the list of vids :P
Couldn't you hold your first inner focus for a super Shadow Word: Pain to give it the +25% crit for the entire fight? As I believe it can crit when you are in shadow form
@@Kronosxviii1 You can try it ofcourse, the times ive tried it i didn't notice a 25% increase in crit, so i'll stick to mind flaying with IFocus untill someone proves me otherwise.
i've tried this out as well (among other things regarding sw:p) and although u are right when it comes to the snapshot part - its not worth to waste IF on it. I'd suggest u either do it on VT or MF when all cds are up (including BL)
Hey Awbee! great video! Could you do a guide on protection paladins especially its various different sets used for different fights? That would be awesome!
Hey! Thanks for the guide, pretty awesome, but as I am new in the shadow priest, I really would like to know about full talent tree, and 2 or more target dps since there is a lot of privet servers out there but not all of them have icc yet, so more general thing would be handy. Maybe its just me personaly, but as like I mentioned there are more wotlk private servers that are not in icc patch yet, so I am missing all the general wotlk guides that are valid for generaly on wotlk. Thanks for the guide, and keep up the good work! :)
@@AwbeeX57 There are some people saying that mindflay spam over using mind blast only gets better if you have like 5300 sp which rarely happens? Though they say that since mind flay spam is easier it might increase your damage once you have t10. Do you have any input on this thought?
@@ravs9050 Wild Magic works indeed, but Inner Focus wont make your next dot a crit, rather your next cast. Tbh most value out of it is MF but i usually hold it up for incase i need to use Divine Hymn.
Is Mind blast always left out of the rotation or is it just with certain gear? We currently have ulduar on Frostmourne and my gear is around 3.5GS. Should skip mind blast and just spam mind flay?
Engineering + JC or Engineering + Tailoring, both are very good JC is a more stable stat gain while Tailoring gives you a nice burst from the cloak enchant.
Please show us the tricks about mind flay timing. It's the only part that was really useful but yet it was cut out:( that trick is the difference between 18k dps and 16k dps
With Tier 10 4 set, Mind flay becomes so strong that it is not worth it to use Mind Blast anymore, you can put it in the rotation if you use it on a Vampiric Touched mob to give the raid Replenishment, but besides that mind flay > mind blast.
@@AwbeeX57 Do you have concrete numbers to prove that? My calculations in DrDamage say otherwise, and that is with a 6.2k gs sp. Only when you have tons of spell power stacked and bloodlust running is where Flay > blast, in most other cases it does 100 to 400 dps more with my set up (1265 haste)
@@Kelthoras1 , I'm questioning this as well. Do they scale differently with SP? With tier 10 4 piece before haste and SP, Mind Flay is a 2.49 sec. channel that does 588 damage. Per second, that is approximately 235.2 damage and adding in the 10% bonus from the glyph means 258.72 damage per sec. Mind blast before haste and SP is a 1.5 sec. cast and does 992-1048 damage. Per second that is 661.3-698.6 damage. Even the lowest amount 661.3 DPS > 258.72 DPS. All talents that effect the damage of either do the same effect to both. So what am I missing?
/cast Dispersion /cancelaura Dispersion just slap it twice, once for activation, 2nd for de-activation, be careful not to stress yourself out and double tap it.
GCD mate, maybe pre shield before fight starts but you definitely dont shield yourself or anyone else midfight, better just provide the offhealing to your group by DPSing.
i was wondering what is the point of making "Spriest guide" if you didn't reach the level of confident yet for proper one.There is so many things which is hardly for you to learn just bcuz of the place where you play , nothing wrong with you. " You just used to play there" idk if u gonna take it as Hate , but i do not have such a point here, so no hard feelings. you can /w me if u are rdy for constructive criticism. If not just delete my comment and move on :D
@@AwbeeX57 I thought letting dots drop was a bad idea? I thought dots 'snapshot' your current (at the time you cast) So/haste/crit, so applying them when you have a trinket proc/potion active and keeping the dot up as long as possible was optimal?.
I geared with SP in red, Sp / Haste in yellows and Sp/ Spirit in blues, Not sure if thats the correct way though, if you feel lacking in haste you could put pure haste in yellows till it feels good.
Recommending people to use nochanneling macros is terrible advice. It's a huge DPS loss. With no channeling macros you're using the client side cast time and don't get the server side compensation, and there's no native spell queueing in pre 4.0 wow. You have to manually time your casts, especially channeled spells like MindFlay where you could risk clipping it. The number one tip, more valuable than your 18 minute video, is to get an addon to display your latency in or near your castbar and time your casts so they align with the server timing. By spamming a nochanneling MF macro you lose between 25 and 150ms per cast, depending on latency. Even if you have a fucking autoclicker pressing the macro 2000 times a second. Not trying to be rude, just saying.
I looked it up, and most humans can't react below 200 ms which is lower than what you would lose using a nochanneling macro. Professional gamers I hear can reach about 150 ms. This also wouldn't account for human error, and mistiming it and clipping a cast would negate any potential damage increase. I have tested both for myself and did better with a nochanneling macro. Try it for yourself and see what you come up with.
@@AwbeeX57 its better to precast in last 3rd part of mindflay cast so you dont have downtime. If you use macro you have allways downtime around 0.1sec for each mindflay.
@@marksucks9346 if you precast you'll miss the tick of the 3rd part of mindflay, removing 1/3rd of your damage. If you get Quartz cast bar you can see your damage ticks in the cast bar, after the 2nd tick you can swap over to VT or DP if needed. Macro only makes it so you get all 3 ticks consistently, no dps loss about it.
@@AwbeeX57 that means you put zero points into Improved Mind Blast but 5points into Shadow Affinity/Improved Physic Scream? Besides, what about Replenishment triggered by Mind Blast? its a "Win-Win Situation" Buff! ... sry, forgot the "20% reduced healing on target/10sec" buff.
The CC is nice, replenishment is good to have for RS25HC, less CD on mindblast won't matter there since you'll be too busy dotting/searing anyway. As far as the healing reduction is concerned, it actually makes you more of a nuisance to deal with on LDW HC, having CC for others mind control would make you generally better on LDW HC.
@@AwbeeX57 last but least, when I understood it right you combine inner focus with mind flay because of mana reduction and ignore the 25% crit chance of inner focus because crit never effected mind flay either until now. (Version 3.4.0. phase 1 of wotlk classic)

what are you using for you CDs on the bottom? Thanks
The bars are Need to Know and the cooldown button timer is OmniCC, both can be found in my Discord.
is the shadow priest string there as well so i can just add it ?
Which one do you like more hunter or SP for pve
Shadow priest, hunter just feels like you're shooting gold at the boss atleast imo :P
@@AwbeeX57 which one is better for pvp do you think hunter or spriest
Flaming boney boy from VDW .. lol 11:23
Hey!
Thanks for the guide, pretty awesome, but as I am new in the shadow priest, I really would like to know about full talent tree, and 2 or more target dps since there is a lot of privet servers out there but not all of them have icc yet, so more general thing would be handy. Maybe its just me personaly, but as like I mentioned there are more wotlk private servers that are not in icc patch yet, so I am missing all the general wotlk guides that are valid for generaly on wotlk.
Thanks for the guide, and keep up the good work! :)
Ps.: The video setup is smooth and LOVE YOUR ACCENT :)
hey mate. just search up the top guilds on warmane armory and check the bis shadow priests.
why dont you use mind blast? should i still use it with the talent (my gs is 5k on the dot
When you got T10 4 set mind flay spam is better, before that mind blast is good, don't forget to use mind blast on VT if no1 is giving Replenishment.
@@AwbeeX57 There are some people saying that mindflay spam over using mind blast only gets better if you have like 5300 sp which rarely happens? Though they say that since mind flay spam is easier it might increase your damage once you have t10. Do you have any input on this thought?
Why dont you make wow wotlk walktrough as warrior or anything else?
Is this a good idea to use inner focus with shadow word pain, coz of snapshotting.
I prefer using it on Mind Flay, im not sure if the crit chance gets added to the DoT, if it does it would be insane.
@@AwbeeX57 reason I asked I read in a guide on forum u can use potion of wild and it affects shadow word pain for the time it is on the boss.
@@ravs9050 Wild Magic works indeed, but Inner Focus wont make your next dot a crit, rather your next cast. Tbh most value out of it is MF but i usually hold it up for incase i need to use Divine Hymn.
Is Mind blast always left out of the rotation or is it just with certain gear? We currently have ulduar on Frostmourne and my gear is around 3.5GS. Should skip mind blast and just spam mind flay?
No, use the mind blast build untill you get the T10 four set.
@@AwbeeX57 what is T10 can u say to me
Why, again, dots should expire and then re apply them on boss fight??
Dots tick at the end of their duration so refreshing it before that means you're missing that final tick.
What is your addon to show remaining dot time?
Need to Know
i was just thinking hmm what if i should make a spriest and your vid just came on the first page... amazing right ?
Thats not coincidence just google wire tapping your brain, AND IM LOVING IT KEEEKEKEKE
So what prof should a person go for mid max?
Engineering + JC or Engineering + Tailoring, both are very good
JC is a more stable stat gain while Tailoring gives you a nice burst from the cloak enchant.
Please show us the tricks about mind flay timing. It's the only part that was really useful but yet it was cut out:( that trick is the difference between 18k dps and 16k dps
instead of 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 do 11111111111111
Why not you use mind blast??
With Tier 10 4 set, Mind flay becomes so strong that it is not worth it to use Mind Blast anymore, you can put it in the rotation if you use it on a Vampiric Touched mob to give the raid Replenishment, but besides that mind flay > mind blast.
@@AwbeeX57 Do you have concrete numbers to prove that? My calculations in DrDamage say otherwise, and that is with a 6.2k gs sp. Only when you have tons of spell power stacked and bloodlust running is where Flay > blast, in most other cases it does 100 to 400 dps more with my set up (1265 haste)
@@Kelthoras1 and you're not wrong at all, besides when you have bloodlust you should also have MB on a SP rotation.
@@Kelthoras1 , I'm questioning this as well. Do they scale differently with SP? With tier 10 4 piece before haste and SP, Mind Flay is a 2.49 sec. channel that does 588 damage. Per second, that is approximately 235.2 damage and adding in the 10% bonus from the glyph means 258.72 damage per sec.
Mind blast before haste and SP is a 1.5 sec. cast and does 992-1048 damage. Per second that is 661.3-698.6 damage.
Even the lowest amount 661.3 DPS > 258.72 DPS. All talents that effect the damage of either do the same effect to both. So what am I missing?
What is that Addon for dots etc?
Need to Know, you can find it in my discord, link is in the description :)
straight bars
Dutch accent much 😅
and proud jonguh!
Do you know the TNN guild from Millenium Server ?
Nah I don't think I played on that server.
Okay, and btw thanks for the video !
Why do you use Inner Focus on a MF instead of MB?
mind flay does more damage
what addons are you using?
You can find all my addons in the discord.

What does it mean to "time" the mind flay?
you gotta minimize the time that you aren't casting, you'll get a feel of the GCD when you play spriest, its very obvious once you feel it :)
@@AwbeeX57 can you give me macro for mind fly ?
Anyone know the name of the dot addon he is using?
Need to know, its in my Discord, won't work for classic WoTLK though :(
thx for the vid , pleas can y give the addon y use for the dot pleaS?
Need to Know, its in my Discord.
I see some are using Mind Blast in their rotation, but you're not. Why is that? :)
With the T10 4Set you can skip out on Mind Blasting and instead go for Mind Flays.
Music is way too loud
Angelowow?
Hello,congrats for video! Can u say this macro for sindra (dispersion)
/cast Dispersion
/cancelaura Dispersion
just slap it twice, once for activation, 2nd for de-activation, be careful not to stress yourself out and double tap it.
I was wondering which one is the best dps class in warmane overall
Mage for sure, i got a top 5 DPS classes video altho the editing is making me cringe when i rewatch it ^^
@@AwbeeX57 no if I play it😁
@@saweex1933 True but you can do healing for 3 people so it balances out :D
Fire mage, combat rogue, fury warr i would say
ha :P found it funny with the comment "ignorance is not bliss on the internet as a content creator"
I think you missed the shield. In shadow form we shield people and ourselves without interrupting our rotation at all.
GCD mate, maybe pre shield before fight starts but you definitely dont shield yourself or anyone else midfight, better just provide the offhealing to your group by DPSing.
i was wondering what is the point of making "Spriest guide" if you didn't reach the level of confident yet for proper one.There is so many things which is hardly for you to learn just bcuz of the place where you play , nothing wrong with you. " You just used to play there" idk if u gonna take it as Hate , but i do not have such a point here, so no hard feelings. you can /w me if u are rdy for constructive criticism. If not just delete my comment and move on :D
Where are you from men?

Can you make a guide for Blood DK dps?
It does not have a high priority, maybe a throw away episode sometimes :p

Macro from mind Flay?
/cast [nochanneling] Mind Flay
/cast [nochanneling] Mind Sear
RIP 89k spriests
So.. DoT clipping isn't a thing in WotLK??
Nope just let it run out and then re-apply.
@@AwbeeX57 I thought letting dots drop was a bad idea? I thought dots 'snapshot' your current (at the time you cast) So/haste/crit, so applying them when you have a trinket proc/potion active and keeping the dot up as long as possible was optimal?.
Do you gem pure haste until you have 1200 haste?
I geared with SP in red, Sp / Haste in yellows and Sp/ Spirit in blues, Not sure if thats the correct way though, if you feel lacking in haste you could put pure haste in yellows till it feels good.
addon that shows u youre debuff on boss please and ty for content
Need to Know.
Recommending people to use nochanneling macros is terrible advice. It's a huge DPS loss.
With no channeling macros you're using the client side cast time and don't get the server side compensation, and there's no native spell queueing in pre 4.0 wow. You have to manually time your casts, especially channeled spells like MindFlay where you could risk clipping it. The number one tip, more valuable than your 18 minute video, is to get an addon to display your latency in or near your castbar and time your casts so they align with the server timing. By spamming a nochanneling MF macro you lose between 25 and 150ms per cast, depending on latency. Even if you have a fucking autoclicker pressing the macro 2000 times a second. Not trying to be rude, just saying.
I looked it up, and most humans can't react below 200 ms which is lower than what you would lose using a nochanneling macro. Professional gamers I hear can reach about 150 ms. This also wouldn't account for human error, and mistiming it and clipping a cast would negate any potential damage increase. I have tested both for myself and did better with a nochanneling macro. Try it for yourself and see what you come up with.
i love you awbee
i love you too Kevin
I like how you say Shadow aint even top 5 dps when there is many times shadow is top 3 on the list
aye theres plenty of fights where you can contend, it helps to be full bis and have some decade of experience :p
Your first macro seems to be broken🤔
Which one was that? Maybe I can help.
too casual , stay in LOLTEN :d
how about aoe rotation?
Put up 1 DoT to proc Phylactry if you're running that and spam Mind Sear with the nochanneling macro.
@@AwbeeX57 thx

You defo need to hit a good amount of haste, I don't recall ever saying u shud prioritize haste over sp after u get that cap, you do want that cap.

hey you gotta do this because you were gonna do it and you just gotta do it. haha, no joke but it would be awesome if u could actually do it
mind flay macro is pure dps lost
How so?
@@AwbeeX57 its better to precast in last 3rd part of mindflay cast so you dont have downtime. If you use macro you have allways downtime around 0.1sec for each mindflay.
@@marksucks9346 if you precast you'll miss the tick of the 3rd part of mindflay, removing 1/3rd of your damage.
If you get Quartz cast bar you can see your damage ticks in the cast bar, after the 2nd tick you can swap over to VT or DP if needed.
Macro only makes it so you get all 3 ticks consistently, no dps loss about it.
@@AwbeeX57 you must be doing something wrong, im allways having 3 ticks and im allways precasting proprely. maybe you need more pratice to get it.
@@marksucks9346 sure, u do u
You lost me on "these are the basics" ima be back when i understand the game better
you are French
mind blast/SW:D is completely overrated anyway😂
SW:D is good for moving, besides that ur right
@@AwbeeX57 that means you put zero points into Improved Mind Blast but 5points into Shadow Affinity/Improved Physic Scream?
Besides, what about Replenishment triggered by Mind Blast? its a "Win-Win Situation" Buff! ... sry, forgot the "20% reduced healing on target/10sec" buff.
The CC is nice, replenishment is good to have for RS25HC, less CD on mindblast won't matter there since you'll be too busy dotting/searing anyway.
As far as the healing reduction is concerned, it actually makes you more of a nuisance to deal with on LDW HC, having CC for others mind control would make you generally better on LDW HC.
@@AwbeeX57 last but least, when I understood it right you combine inner focus with mind flay because of mana reduction and ignore the 25% crit chance of inner focus because crit never effected mind flay either until now. (Version 3.4.0. phase 1 of wotlk classic)
