[Shadow] What talents are you guys running for mythic+

[darkxiao]

Hey guys, I was wondering what talents you guys have been finding best for you in mythics and mythic+. I've been messing around with a few combinations and I think the Void Ray/Mind Spike combo has been working decently but it's still feels really clunky in my opinion. Even though it sims higher, it just feels weird considering you can't really stack up the Mind Spikes enough for the detenation to be extremely useful. On boss fights it's a different story though. How do you guys feel about the VR/MS combo? Are any of you guys still using LotV?

PI/StM.

First and last boss.

This. Bring big AE coverage with you and demolish the bosses.

Fire mage/windwalker are preferred.

Void Ray, mind bender and lotv. In the end the total damage for the entire run is what counts. I didn't find s2m yielding more overall damage and the time loss of ~15-20sec per run not worth it.

ToF
B&S
MBomb
RoS
AS
PI
LotV

25%crit, 35% haste, 35% mastery

Doing 370k overall dps at the end of the night of high M+(10 and higher)

Same as jobbly. LotV is underrated.

S2M for CoS though, because last boss is rough.

In Mythic Keystone dungeons, Shadow Priests who die due to Surrender to Madness expiring should no longer incur a 5 second time penalty.

Nice little change.

I run holy spec, forget that shadow nonsense

[Djriff]

I run Void Ray, PI, and LotV. Burst on trash is wonderful

Is it true you cant change talents while in a mythic + dungeon?

You can't change talents unless you're in a safe zone. I know you can't change spec once you're in a mythic + dungeon, not sure about talents though.

Yes, you cannot swap talents in a ongoing mythic+

Cookie cutter shadow spec. Or to be precise, the only viable shadow spec. I've toyed with some other talents, but ToF and RoS are unmatched on trash and SL and SI have not provided any meaningful increase. I would consider taking mindbender, as it's more consistent on trash, but it has zero impact on multi target.

oh wow. that is super nice! in the QA blizz claimed shadow priest was "doing well" in a m+15 clear.

Shadow Priest is not the spec that comes to mind when you think about strong AoE, but a Shadow Priest was in the group and doing well in a Mythic +15 keystone clear.

I wish they posted who else was in their group

judging solely by that, shadow priests aren't doing "well" by any means

Here are 2 +15 spriest clears:

Looking at level 2 keystones doesn't seem like a great, most good players unless they are running carry runs will not be in level +2, let alone running logs.

Spriests are pretty far ahead of both druid dps specs which is my main.
