MoP - Shadowpriest Guide & Talent Build

[TeaLeaf]

Been a while since I posted in here!    What I have found as I have progressed through MV/HoF/ToES is that I am increasingly changing my talent build to suit the encounter.   Adjusting your talents to suit the encounter is the single biggest impact you can have on your DPS atm and in some fights it makes a huge difference.    Always keep 20 Tomes in your bags and change away for each encounter.

With the advent of 5.2, shadow priests around the world will rejoice in the second haste softcap (8085 for non-goblin) receiving a third haste sibling: 14,873 (non-goblin).   I'm at just under 9,000 so have a little way to go before I see the new soft cap!

5.2 stat prios still remains Int > Spell Power > Hit (15%) > Haste > Crit > Mastery

With the nerf to FDCL, heavy movement fights now favour MB + DI

With the new Solace & Insanity and changes to Power infusion, in almost every other fight max dps is provided by SI + PI
