Gear of a Shadow Priest - Tier 5 Edition

Kjartan's picture

This is my list of shadow priest gear, where the stats (int, spirit, crit, haste, procs) are converted to shadow damage value. Note that I don't care about the spell hit as it is easy to get, however if you aren't hit capped that is the stat to get above all other.

All sockets are assumed to be +9spell damage. And the MB/SWD are the scores based on how often you use the skills. 100% means you are using them every cooldown, 50% half the time, 0% never.

Any questions just ask :)

Cant find out where the following items are from (have used Thottbot + WoWHead):

Mana Attuned Band [141]

And how come Soul-Collar of the Incarnate [120] gives more dmg than Spellstrike Hood [105]?

1) http://www.wowhead.com/?item=33497 , its from timed quest in ZA.

2) Ah, forgot to add that in. For helms that have Metagems a Mystical Skyfire Diamond along with a gem to activate it. MSD is worth about 40-45 spell dmg. Too bad even then the spellfire gear as a set is better, and to get the 4piece T4 bonus you give up way too much dmg on the other pieces.

3) Runed Spell-cuffs, has haste rating, but it assumes you have 1400 spell dmg unbuffed. So don't start getting haste rating just yet, as we aren't really there yet. I should rerun the calculations with our current gear level.

That's about what Cysto has..

*edit*
Not even, 1,4k unbuffed is only SPs from Nihilum, Forte, Death by Taxies and the big guilds who have that..

As I've told you ealier: I does'nt take much time! You can do 10 2v2 games in like an hour if you want to and still get about 250 points even if you SUCK at PvP. 250 points per week and you'll get the blade in about 2,5 month Laughing out loud

You will need a personal rating of 1850 for a S3 arena weapon though.

Yearh, but the 2,5 month is for the season 2, hopefully Ill get it soon. Roy would need to help all the guild with season 3 armor before we would be able to get a rating of 1850, and I doubt that would ever happen Laughing out loud

I think your opinion of the mystical skyfire diamond is a bit enthusiatic.

Spellstrike is the way forward prior to T5. And I wouldn't touch T4 with a bargepole! Smiling

Other than that - a nice comparison mate - interesting read.

Regards,

Some random noob that knows a few people in your guild Smiling
