Since getting runs on my shadow priest is a bit of a pain I ran PVP to pick up the vindicator and veterans ring along with the guardian necklace. If your a bit on the squishy side those 3 pieces are either very good (depending on your current gear) overall or a good swap in for a fight where you expect a bit of extra damage.

Im still working out my initial spell rotation, I’m finding that it’s very much tank specific. So SWD isn’t always in the beginning rotation and I may not toss it in till the 2nd VT rotation comes up. Tanks can have a bit of problem generating enough initial agro to hold a mob for VT->SWP->VE->SWD->MB (especially if my quagmires eye procs somewhere in there). So it means skipping the VE and SWD till I refresh the VT.

You can always spot a healer that’s either over geared/bored or never worked with a shadow priest in a FSW set. If we aren’t taking damage we honestly don’t need heals
Far enough into a fight I may even toss out VE and Ill really make your life boring.

I’m in so very little of a rush, I’ve been playing for a year (off and on) and my max character is 45! Ok, well, I have two level 45’s and a level 20+ of every class in the game on some server or another…

Not quite a 50/50 anymore, it’s more like 25/75 % chance I’ll stick with my Priest – I too Just re-specced Shadow. Had always been discipline. It’s takin’ a bit of getting used to, but I love the abilities. Really started to see the potential with Vampiric Embrace. Although, I think I may still wind back up Discipline eventually. I want a taste of all the specs, through various ranges of the Priest’s progression.

On the way up to 70, I’ll try Holy sometime too. I may re-spec back to Disc and maybe back to Shadow… etc..

Luckily, I spend a fair amount of time on Professions now, feeding a hungry twink market along with some ‘resourcefulness’ in getting some of the more rare patterns and such from one market to another. This has netted me a very generous bank, particularly only being sub-45. What can I say? Too much Goblin influence from the time in Booty Bay at the Heutral Auction House? Perhaps.

And good luck with that Alt Mage; Zahrah – yep, I think Tailoring’s the way to go. My Priest at 32 is maxed on both that and enchanting until 35. Funny, but I’ve been using some of the mats I run across to even further post items and mats on the Auction House. With my wife still yet undecided on the Melee class she’s going to play, I have a rather large stock of Enchanting and Tailoring Materials from instance runs…

1k DPS is about right fr a Spriest. In the end, you won’t push past 1500 on fights that don’t amount to “Gotta Dot ‘Em All!” (see, Illidian), until you really max gear and start stacking a lot of haste!

Best of luck clearing the rest of BT, and I hope you’ve got the mats for your SR gear banked!!

It is indeed.

Thank ye, luckily they run Free For All, so that should never happen, long as I’m alive and what not. Still eying that cloak from trash as well.

@Feist

A bit? Nyisa was a group project but the group around her fell apart before, I even got my feet wet. They’re back but she might be on hold for quite a bit.

Genuflect started as a PvP thing, Disc Priest in PvP always frustrated me when they knew how to play so I wanted to try my hands at one. But since I leveled Shadow I kinda fell in love with it, I strangely don’t miss my Rogue. And that’s never happen before. Hopefully because its not OOO shiny still. I mean I still PvP on the Rogue and do the Mana Tombs dance but I don’t wish I was on the Rogue, when I’m on the Priest type deal.

Thank ya kindly sir, hope I do a decent job at it, don’t know all the tricks but I’m pretty sure I’m pushing 1k DPS on Bosses, so with time I’ll be able to squeeze it all out but I know I’m not perfect yet. The groups I’ve been in seem to be happy with the mana I give em so I have to be doing something right .

Weird, the OT was in Melee Range just not getting hit. I dunno how’d he have lower life then our Melee, he’s pretty geared. But now, I know why it happened. Guess I skimmed over that part when I was worried about Teron and the new bosses I had 0 experience with.

@Hildi
Haha ya so far I’ve been very good at managing it. I’ve only killed myself once with it and I was trying. Smacked myself for 8400 on Curator, just to see if I could one shot myself. Everyone thought it was pretty funny Mostly because it dies in one evo.

And with my life total, I didn’t even risk using death on RoS, mostly because I can’t be a mana battery when I’m dead.

“oops”.
So funny. Every. Time.

Best of luck with the squishy side.

Also, FYI, OT’s don’t have to generate any threat at all on Supremus – his hateful strike hits the non-mt target in melee range with the highest current HP. If your melee got gibbed either the OT ran out of range, didn’t get heals, or your Melee pack way too much stam.

Tell ‘em to click off Fort next time!

And grats on that hammer! It dropped twice before I could get one – the first time the master looter couldn’t get to it before the next wave and then it despawned.
