David Lin

Shadow Priests have abandoned their path towards the Holy Light and are now dangerily close to the Void.

On this page, you will discover the top talents for each tier for your Shadow Priest in World of Warcraft -- Shadowlands 9.1. You can also find standard lists of talent lists for different kinds of content, such as raiding, and Mythic+. If you play using Warmode on, we've got the PvP skills you need as well.

 

Shadow Priests have abandoned their path towards the Holy Light and are now dangerily close to the Void. They make use of spells that are not just aimed at their adversaries body, but also their minds, which can cause extreme despair and pain. They have lots of self-healing potential and are strong AoE and priority target damage-dealers. They are aces in the execution phase of engagements.

 

1. Shadow Priest Talents Selections

 

It is possible to change your abilities while not in combat , or in an area with a large amount of XP (such as an Inn or capital city). Moreover, Tome of the Still Mind Icon Tome of the Still Mind and Codex of the Still Mind Icon Codex of the Still Mind can be used temporarily to let players change their abilities at any time, so long as they're not in the midst of combat.

 

2. Talent Cheat Sheets for Shadow Priest

 

While maximizing the talents of your employees on a context-based basis is the best method to set up your build, the talent models listed below are great to serve specific goals.

 

Here is a video guideline that explains the choices more in detail. This guide will help you pick the most suitable talents for your specific situation. The full video will soon be available, however the survival guide provides all the details you require to be able to weather this storm.

 

Mindbender should always be used when using the Shadowflame Prism icon Shadowflame. Psychic link icon Psychic link is used only with Talbadar’s Stratagem Icon Talbadar’s Stratagem in Theater of Pain or Spires of Ascension key, which is usually with Fortified Icon Fortified. Mythic+ talents are subject to change depending on the affixes used and the type of damage required by your group. If you need specific guidance on Mythic+, take a look at the page dedicated to it below.

 

In general, the Hungering Void icon Hungering Void will be your go-to talent in Mythic+, but the other two options are in play, depending on the method you play. Usage of Surrender to Madness Icon Surrender to Madness is different from dungeon to dungeon which makes its use less consistent depending on the level of the group composition and the key. Ancient Madness Icon Ancient Madness can be a great pickup for groups that are doing lots of big pulls instead of doing just one pull at one time.

 

3. Talents available for Shadow Priest at the level of Tier 1. (Level 15).

 

Fortress of the Mind Icon Fortress of the Mind makes Mind Flay Icon Mind Flay and Mind Blast Icon Mind Blast cause 10% more damage and generate 20% more Insanity.

 

Death and Madness Icon Death and Madness is a powerful way to empower our Shadow Word: Death Icon Shadow Word: Death ability to reset itself if the target we use it on goes down within a few seconds. Additionally, you also receive a large chunk of Insanity for making this work.

 

Icon Unfurling Darkness Darkness grants the chained Vampiric touch a massive increase in power and casts it instantly.

 

This row provides us with two primary options with Fortress of the Mind Icon Fortress of the Mind and Death and Madness Icon Death and Madness each with a strong use, whereas Unfurling Darkness Icon Unfurling Darkness is generally left behind.

 

Unless the fight is highly move-intensive, Fortress of the Mind Icon Fortress of the Mind will always be your primary Single Target choice. If it is, you may start using less Mind Flay Icon Mind Flay. This could significantly impact the worth of the talent.

 

If you have accounts that are regularly dying Any scenario different from Single Target will be extremely beneficial. But, Shadow Word: Death Icon Shadow Word Death can result in damage to backlash.

 

Unfurling Darkness Icon Unfurling Darkness is the most effective choice if you are in a situation where you have enough movement to cause Fortress of the Mind Icon Fortress of the Mind fail or if you don't spawn as often or for a long amount of time. In real life, this option will not be utilized in PvE.

 

4. Tier 2. (Level 25) Talents available for Shadow Priest

 

Shield Icon Power word: Shield to increase the speed of movement of your target by 40% for three minutes.

 

Vampiric Embrace Icon Vampiric Embrace Icon San'layn increases Vampiric Embrace Icon, making it heal for an additional 20% of the time and drastically cutting down its cooldown to just one minute and 15 seconds.

 

Intangibility Icon Intangibility causes the Dispersion Icon Dispersion to bring you back to 50 percent of your health maximum during its effects. It also decreases the cooldown of Dispersion by 30 seconds.

 

Body and Soul Icon Body and Soul is our only available speed increase for movement on demand that makes it the most popular choice in many instances.

 

The San'layn Icon turns Vampiric Embrace Icon Vampiric Embrace to a more powerful utility spell. This is especially relevant to content for dungeons. If you can get away without the need for movement from Body and Soul Icon Body and Soul and Soul, then the additional power San'layn gives you can be very useful.

 

Intangibility Icon Intangibility is interesting because it enhances the utility of our defensive, Dispersion Icon Dispersion, and makes it available more frequently. In the event that you don't require the mobility from Body and Soul Icon Body and Soul in the same way, but require better defense capabilities, Intangibility is an excellent alternative.

 

5. Shadow Priest Talents Level 3. (Level 30).

 

Twist of Fate Icon Twist of Fate grants us an 8 second boost upon hitting a target with less than 35% health. This boosts the damage we cause and our healing by 10 percent. This buff renews itself when you're hitting targets that are that is less than 35% and it does not stack.

 

Misery Icon Misery transforms it so that casting Vampiric Touch Icon Vampiric Touch on a target will also apply Shadow Word: Pain Icon Shadow Word Pain simultaneously.

 

Searing Nightmare Icon Searing Nightmare is a skill that costs 30 Insanity . It spreads Shadow Word: Pain Icon Shadow Word: Pain to any target in the area surrounding the target, and does some significant damage. In addition, if it strikes an area that already has Shadow Word Pain Icon Shadow Word active, it does more damage to the target. Searing Nightmare Icon Searing Nightmare can't be cast without using the Mind Sear Icon Mind Sear. This is similar to how Mistweaver Monk's Enveloping Mist Icon Enclosing Mist spell functions with the soothing mist Icon Soothing Mist.

 

Twist of Fate Icon Twist of Fate gives us a bit of damage to the execution and can be useful in fights where there are not any additional targets to DoT. This talent surpasses Misery Icon Misery because of the Hungering Void Icon Hungering Void which increases our Void Bolt Icon Void Bolt casting.

 

Misery Icon Misery can be a good option in cases where there are several targets. It's ideal when there are more than four targets. Generally this shares a lot of overlap with Searing Nightmare Icon Searing Nightmare, but excels anytime you have spread targets. Due to the increased amount of time spent refreshing DoTs during battles, this can do the same damage to players as Twist of Fate Icon Twist of Fate Icon Twist of Fate Icon Twist of Fate Icon Twist of Fate Icon Twist of Fate Icon Twist of Fate Icon Twist of Fate Icon Twist of Fate Icon Twist of Fate Icon Twist of Fate Icon Twist of Fate Icon This is a good alternative based on how you play.

 

Searing Nightmare Icon Searing Nightmare is a powerful, hard-hitting burst AoE ability to use with the Shadow Priest toolkit. Not only does it spread the DoT to all targets aiding us to get that easy mastery bonus, but it also does a lot of damage to the targets in subsequent casts. This ability can produce amazing outcomes if you have more targets than three.

 

Each of these skills are fully functional The best option will be determined by the specific situation. Your choice will have to depend on the type of adds that appear (if they spawn at all) or what area of the battle you need to be able to damage the most. Misery Icon Misery and Searing Nightmare Icon Misery excel when there are many targets (dungeons for instance). Twist Of Fate Icon Twistof Fate is a great choice because of its ability to execute. It is a good rule of thumb, use Twist of Fate if there aren't many or any additional effects in a battle or if having more execution damage is crucial, and pick between Misery Icon Misery and Searing Nightmare Icon Searing Nightmare in case helping you apply your DoTs to many targets is more important.
