Introduction

Welcome to the PvE Class Guide for Shadow Priest in WoW Forever. We'll look at the rotation and opener, best talent builds, professions, and races so that you can optimize your performance in raids and dungeons.

WoW Forever Shadow Priest New Spells

The following abilities have been added:

Devouring Plague
Shadow Word: Death

WoW Forever Shadow Priest Rotation

Shadow Priests mana issues might be a thing of the past thanks to

Shadowform

now reducing Mana costs by 50%. The talent

Devouring Contagion

gives the class a bit of AoE and cleave and

Early Demise

an execute phase. It is unclear if

Shadow Word: Death

will still be used outside of execute range and if

Inner Focus

will snapshot for the duration of

Devouring Plague

since DoTs can now crit. The sims will eventually tell us what the optimal rotation is, but below is an idea of what that might look like:

Single Target

Use
Shadowform
.
Use
Vampiric Embrace
during party-wide damage.
Use
Inner Focus
with
Devouring Plague
if it snapshots, otherwise with
Mind Blast
.
Maintain
Shadow Word: Pain
.
Cast
Devouring Plague
.
Cast
Shadow Word: Death
on targets at or below 20% health.
Cast
Mind Blast
.
Cast
Mind Flay
