Shadow Priest PvP Overview
Shadow Priests are a support-based caster, bringing decent damage as well as great utility for your team via such abilities as
虚空转移
and
群体驱散
, all while bringing good damage and even better crowd control via
心灵惊骇
and
沉默
.
Shadow Priest Strengths in PvP
Shadow Priest strengths shifted with Battle for Azeroth. We go from having very strong spread pressure to a more focused single-target and utility-based approach. We have access to the following to help assist you and your team in surviving:
虚空转移
信仰飞跃
真言术:盾
群体驱散
Not only do they have great utility, Shadow Priests also bring some great crowd control to the table having access to the following:
心灵尖啸
心灵惊骇
沉默
精神控制
Combining all this utility and crowd control along with the decent damage Shadow Priest brings is a great addition to any 3v3 composition.
Shadow Priest Weaknesses in PvP
Shadow Priest weaknesses are the same as they have been since the release of Legion. First is our low mobility; not having any way to remove slows other than
消散
which is our main defensive cooldown leaves us with no ability to kite or escape when being focused by melee.
Our second major weakness is currently our vulnerability to interrupts, with both of our major defensive cooldowns (
消散
and
虚空转移
) and all our damage spells being tied to the same school, it often leaves us stuck in some sticky situations when trying to deal with multiple interrupts.
A third weakness is our lack of a consistent slow, allowing enemies to be able to easily escape or kite us. In our kit, we only have
精神鞭笞
(which requires channeling) and
灵能魔
(which can be killed) for applying slows.
These three detriments, combined with Shadow Priest only having one school of Magic to rely on when it comes to dealing damage, is sadly only made worse with the introduction of Covenants. All Covenant abilities, along with our go-to
控心术
, are on the Shadow school of Magic. This will further punish Shadow Priests and Affliction Warlocks, being the only two casters only having one school of Magic.
Shadow Priest PvP in Patch 9.2
Shadow Priest is receiving only one direct change going into patch 9.2 and that's the nerf to our Pallid Command legendary:
Necrolord
Shadow:
Casting Unholy Nova summons a Rattling Mage that gains 2% additional damage and healing each time an enemy affected by Unholy Transfusion is damaged by an ally, up to 100%.
The Rattling Mage serves you for 20 sec, blasting your target for (40%25.1% of Spell power) Shadow damage.
Inventory Type: Feet, Finger
Overall this is quite a hefty nerf and it comes at a time where we're now forced to play with a covenant specific legendary, and taking into consideration the strength or lack their of coming from other covenant specific legendry's this is going to be a very big nerf to our damage that we're unlikely to play around.
But with the addition of Tier sets and double legendaries (which we'll cover throughout this guide) shadow priest is still looking to still be very strong, primarily due to everything else rather than their damage, as for much of 9.1.5 shadow priest took the role of a support based caster being a great partner to high damage melee such as arms warrior, bringing strong instant crowd control combined with purges, and our damage really is almost an afterthought.
So yes this change will of course reduce our damage considerably if we continue to play necrolord, but will we still be viable?
Definitely.
Talents & Racials in Patch 9.2
There will be no changes to these in patch 9.2
Rotations & Strategy in Patch 9.2
There will be no significant changes to rotation for patch 9.2, although the acquisition of tier sets will grant us with a chance to gain
黑暗思维
procs when using
噬灵疫病
providing us with a lot more instant damage.
Gear & Legendaries in Patch 9.2
As always there will be a whole new set of gear to aim for in patch 9.2, although most of this comes from the conquest vendor, the most notable change this patch will be the addition of our new tier set:
Habiliments of the Empyrean
2-Set
-
黑暗思绪
- Casting
噬灵疫病
has 40% chance to grant
黑暗思维
. Casting
has a 25% chance to grant
黑暗思维
.
4-Set
-
活体暗影
- Consuming a
黑暗思维
causes your shadow to animate after a moment, dealing Shadow damage over 6 seconds to all enemies within 10 yards of your target.
Covenants in Patch 9.2
Due to the nerfs to
苍白指令
the necrolord covenant has became a lot less desirable, although still playable this could see a shift in shadow priests swapping to night fae once we obtain double legendaries, until then necrolord will remain the go to when playing with melee and venthyr will remain competitive for when playing with casters
Macros & Addons
Macros and addons can assist with streamlining your gameplay. Macros can make your gameplay more fluid, and addons provide important information that can help you make decisions before, during, or after an arena match. Find out which macros and addons are best for your specialization here.
Guide Overview
Talents & Racials
Talents are an important choice in PvP. This page will take you through each of the talents and PvP talents, giving advice on which ones will best suit your playstyle and which build is currently the strongest. Racials can also be important in PvP since many offer extra crowd control or escapes. See our Racials section on this page if you are starting a new character or considering a change!
Rotations & Strategy
While rotations aren't as clear-cut in PvP, it is essential to know how to maximise your output where possible to help turn the tide of a match. Strategy is another key element of PvP that can make or break a match. Our Rotations and Strategy page covers what you need to know about your important cooldowns, using your utility to your best advantage, and even common mistakes to avoid making.
Gear
The Gear and Legendaries page of this guide covers how gear works for PvP in Shadowlands, and how to obtain gear through PvP Vendors and The Great Vault. On this page you will also find the best stat priority and what each stat does for your specialization, the best pieces of gear including legendaries, as well as which enchants and gems you should use for your gear. It also covers how to make your all-important trinket choice for PvP.
Covenants
Covenants are a key feature of the Shadowlands expansion. Your choice of Covenant, Soulbind, and Conduits can have a large impact on your gameplay. Learn which are the strongest for your specialization here.

Shadow Priest in patch 9.1.5 remains to be one of the most meta defining casters, being able to play a multitude of different compositions inside of 3v3. Overall Shadow Priest is a great caster to pick up for any player who enjoys taking a more crowd control and utility based approach. As of recent times we've seen quite a mix up in covenant choice with Necrolord combined with the addition of the
苍白指令
legendary power, offering a lot more defensive survivability and instant on demand damage, especially when playing with melee classes. However Venthyr does still remain a viable option when primarily playing with casters, but it's definitely nice to have the option to swap between the covenants with the addition of 9.1.5, giving us a lot more variety.
Asides from the ability to swap covenants the only other notable change for shadow in PvP was:
Necrolord
溃烂灌注
(Potency Conduit) Unholy Transfusion lasts 2 sec longer and deals 12.0% (up from 6.0%) more damage and healing.
Rank changes:
6.0%
6.6%
7.2%
7.8%
8.4%
9.0%
9.6%
10.2%
10.8%
11.4%
12.0%
12.6%
13.2%
13.8%
14.4%
12.0%
13.2%
14.4%
15.6%
16.8%
18.0%
19.2%
20.4%
21.6%
22.8%
24.0%
25.2%
26.4%
27.6%
28.8%
This is a huge buff to a conduit we was already selecting when playing necrolord, so this will only strengthen the covenant and the
邪恶灌注
ability.
But be sure to check out the covenant section for a more in depth analysis on all covenant choices.

So the battleground build also focuses on haste and mastery now? Your other guide (though I assume this is the latest one?) says to go for haste/crit for the auspicious spirits build, and also recommends Chorus of Insanity as the third and final trait. Is there another trait you recommend now since crit got nerfed? Thanks Xot!

All Covenant abilities, along with our go-to Mindgames, are on the Shadow school of Magic.

Why does Blizzard still keep Shadow Priest class in the game? Any mean? Weak PVP performance such as no mobility, no vulnerability to interrupts, low heal and defensive skills and a lot of stupid spells.
I suggest Blizzard to completely redesign Shadow Priest and create a different class.
