you forgot to mention the “cry” part of the rotation, when the tank you’re pugging with decides to move and grab more mobs after standing still for 3 seconds and you sent your shadow crash
If anyones confused at 4:34 it’s because he said Diurna’s chosen but put up the wrong icon for the ring. So if you’re a visual person be careful not to buy the wrong ring first :p
Run mental fortitude, power word shield yourself, and flash heal yourself 10% dr + fade 10% Dr before incoming damage. Not many guides mention how to survive as a spriest and not be a liability for your healer.
Thank you so much! I also switched from BM to SP (with a quick pitstop at Destro). It is a lot of fun to play and the utility is great...at least compared to BM...
Not really.. played BM as my dps class since vanilla... it just got boring. On the other hand it sucks to not get invites at higher Keys because you are not meta
diurnas chosen wont generate that much damage so thats a bad pick if you are planning to get a ring. Best choice is Seal of Filial Duty for the heavy mastery with haste and an absorb shield chance whenever your Vakash or helm enchant procs(fire damage has a chance to proc the ring and those are the only two main ways to do it this season)
Agree with basically everything you said beside the class trinket, couldn't pay me to play with that trinket again. It's an incredibly low proc rate (1 per 3 minutes roughly) and if you use it in dungeons it can, and does, proc between packs let alone in your PI windows. M+ your 2nd trinket should be Tome or Pips and in Raid Suncaller, vessel (procs ring a for .5% overall more), or Pips.
You really don’t need to try so hard, maintain the dots by either reapplying them with shadow crash or manually on each target with vampiric touch, after that generally all your abilities generates insanity which is the resource you need to put the third dot “Devouring plague” for your big cooldown dark ascension you pop it then press power infusion on an ally and press void bolt on cooldown, while its on cd you try to put devouring plague on the target to extend Dark ascension.
Wow, this spec looks insanely complicated I'm not sure if I can handle it! To my credit I'm actually a BM hunter main so I do play the hardest spec in the game when it comes to minmaxing already, so I think with this expertly crafted guide I shall give it a go! Thanks to this guide I will excel in keys without a SHADOW(priest) of a doubt!! Hahahaha, sorry I'm so bloody random! xD Ghosties go WOO WOO POGCHAMP!!!
Man all these rotations explained are so hard it just goes through one ear and out the other can never find a real simpl straight forward rotation to get going how is anyone meant to remember all this
I am the same way what helps me is knowing every move you got by name I mean really know them and then go over your talents over and over knowing there names as well if you do this you will find it way easier to follow
I see people on here popping off 1-2m damage on aoe pulls and up to 4-500k on single target. I am maybe 6 ilvl lower than these players and my build and rotation is exactly the same with stats similar as well. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong and why my damage is a fraction of theirs. It's been very disheartening. Not to mention because of the meta I'm always playing with BM and Ret which make AOE pulls look so fucking easy it's sickening lol
Something Ive noticed since starting to play my Spriest is that Shadow needs alot of time to ramp. Its alot similar to Assass Rogue in that way (for me at least since Im a Rogue main and Assass also needs ramp time) Those guys are doing high enough key levels where trash isnt dying within 20 seconds so you arent getting to properly ramp. As for bosses, they are also buffed out the ass by an Aug Evoker, and they also have 5% more Int from having a Mage in the group, dont worry too much about damage at the moment until you get to higher keys where the DPS checks matter. Edit: They also are doing 5% more total magic damage due to having a VDH in the group as well. So thats also inflating their damage numbers.
if you predot mobs and then when those mobs join other mobs at the tank, will shadowcrash only dot the "undotted" mobs or will it just pick a random 8 mobs
Always play what you enjoy the most after properly (doing a few dungeons etc) trying out a few choices. That will not only make sure you enjoy the game more in general, but you'll perform better as well and that is all you need.
One thing I never understood; if you are in the middle of sustain cast spell; but you get a proc on an instant cast.. do you stop the longer cast or finish it?
What has happened to this amazing spec? I remember I used to love it back in Cataclysm... this has just become a complete mess. Do we actually need a bit of pruning?
They changed the APL for dungeon slice last year, so that is totally fine to use. You can super min max it and so specific route Sims with method dungeon tools and route export. Other than dungeon slice, I also sim for one target for tyrannical weeks.
Seems like you meant how do you do fire damage to proc it? Best way is with the mace that drops off fyrakk(bought with bullions) and the shadowflame embellishment(placed on crafted gear). You will need both to get the full effect of the fire ring.

Man, u decided to cook me for morning some "sad facts" ? Thanks...
LOL
me pugging with a dh tank:
this is real
Same thing on my frost mage, I'll be used to it haha

for the feather speed macro. you can press Alt+skill to cast the skill on yourself.
Waaay easier to sefl cast macro it
Vesp you beauty, just hit 70 with mine and was lost, thank you!
lets go bro!

Thanks bro
I'm a Dungeon Master now after watching this TY!!!
Thanks for the guide! I can't wait to give the shadow priest a shot. Now I just need to find someone to take my healer role hahaha
lmfao!
Holy shit, I wish I watched a video before deciding to play a spriest in dragonflight lol I didnt know I needed a phd in WoW to master this rotation

Right… BM=hardest spec…
i see what you did there about EXCELing in keys because of my excel spreadsheet on all the important mythic+ abilities in season 4

I am the same way what helps me is knowing every move you got by name I mean really know them and then go over your talents over and over knowing there names as well if you do this you will find it way easier to follow
Also do some quest grinding and when u do a move in your head say the name of it as u cast
Just get the Hekili addon. It tells you the rotation/what button to press next. I love it, but also hate the fact that the game now needs it.
When you say "Seal of Diurna's Chosen" at 4:33, the icon you use for the item is actually for "Seal of Filial Duty" which kinda threw me off.
Question: In AOE situations - does Devouring plague on multiple targets help to make bigger dps?
How can you dot the mobs with Fade? Do you VT them all then use Fade or do you Shadow Crash them thenn use fade? Good video it has great info in it.
I don't agree with the Trinket choice. Class trink is good but not best, its randome proc. Use Spoils to max your dmg in burst
I can't seem to hit more than 180k single target dps. I'm 500 ilvl. Is there anything big I'm missing?
You mention seal of diurna's chosen as second bullion but posted picture of the other ring
i did do that, whoops!

you might be doing key levels that are too low, shadow needs time to ramp

missing explanation about 4 piece and ramping
Jesus so many to touch, i need to put im a excel to remember
Mindgames and divine star feels as useless as black arrow did for hunter back in the day.
just a sidething you put out
very nice content
How do you remember what to cast? 😮
just play the game and try to remember, after awhile you'll get it
if you predot mobs and then when those mobs join other mobs at the tank, will shadowcrash only dot the "undotted" mobs or will it just pick a random 8 mobs
Hey, would you recommend Frost mage or SP, for someone doing 2-10 keys mostly?
Always play what you enjoy the most after properly (doing a few dungeons etc) trying out a few choices. That will not only make sure you enjoy the game more in general, but you'll perform better as well and that is all you need.
How much is haste break point? on M+ and on RAID?
have you seen how Vessel does with rings?
hey i was just wondering if there is any chance to get that name plater u are using invideo ^^ btw ty for the guide :)
The link is in my discord my friend!
@@VesperalTV thank you very much ^^
One thing I never understood; if you are in the middle of sustain cast spell; but you get a proc on an instant cast.. do you stop the longer cast or finish it?
Depends on the spell, Mind Flay: Insanity and Void torrent u kind of want to finish, but normal Mind Flays you just cancel with the instant casts
hey, what does the first macro in your macrolist do?
Hey can U do a Guide for Destruktion warlock
could you explain how maddening touch syncs well with minds eye? I fail to see a connection there.
It helps with your AoE damage as you’re not spreading DP
Which addon Shows the % behind the stats?
What does maintain your dots with voidbolt mean? is there a talent that extends the durtions of dots when i cast void bolt?
No that's just what void bolt does.
It’s crazy how broken this class is
How?
the macro u use for Ve doesnt work for me
What addons are you using?
Does Maddening Touch work with Shadow Crash + Whispering Shadows?
yes!
What has happened to this amazing spec? I remember I used to love it back in Cataclysm... this has just become a complete mess. Do we actually need a bit of pruning?
That heal potion is a joke 😂 everyone who dont use dream potion is greedy 120k heal is a stick on the hp bar 😂
Uh dk guide when? 😮
Wtf is this game now. The rotation os like 12 spells jesus...

How can I get to see my dots remaining on enemy nameplate like in video
It’s my Plater Profile! Link is in my discord
how to best sim for m+? i always find this hard to do
They changed the APL for dungeon slice last year, so that is totally fine to use. You can super min max it and so specific route Sims with method dungeon tools and route export.
Other than dungeon slice, I also sim for one target for tyrannical weeks.
what does it mean use 14? on the macros part
14 is your last trinket slot, 13 is the top trinket slot so it just uses your trinket if it’s placed in slot 14
I started playing DF towards the end of season 3 how do you get the fire damage needed for the ring
You buy it with bullions
Seems like you meant how do you do fire damage to proc it? Best way is with the mace that drops off fyrakk(bought with bullions) and the shadowflame embellishment(placed on crafted gear). You will need both to get the full effect of the fire ring.
@@deemac1588 oh OK. That makes sense. Someone had told me in game I needed to farm for a head enchantment.
That's the 3rd way. But that takes weeks of farming rain bosses.
@@deemac1588 oh noooo I’d rather pass on that option lol ty
Rotation seems complicated.
its not too bad once you've learned it
Thats not complicated Trust me😀
It's not a hard caster to play.
