I just have no clue anymore.

My shadow priest makes me angry to put it simply.
I can't post a link to my toon bc I'm a new user, but it's Littlekiki on Korgath. Was on a low pop server until last week.
All three dots go up, MFx2 till Arch pops, hit, SWD (Shadow word death) off CD mind blast mind flay pretty much when everything else is on CD and I can't break 17k. I know my mastery is a bit low.
Just a bit of advice please. I don't play it much, but I'd like to but can't seem to figure out what's wrong.
Thank you!

P.S. I don't use any addons except recount and decursive and of course DBM

Maybe I should stick to druid healing? XD

You should be pushing early 20-23k fight depending on your gear, so your missing around 5k somewhere

Spec is fine.

Glyphs fine.

You could reforge out of mastery completely and you still wouldnt lose as much as 5k.

Dont use SWDeath in your opener, or a stand still rotation at all untill the boss is under 25%.

You have a 4set - you should open with SF,MS,MB combo's.

Read the Shadow Priest Sticky in this forum for a break down on rotations.

Firstly - you need an addon to manag you dots. It will afford you more focus and cleaner applications. Any priest who says "you dont need one, just use the frames" is slacking on their raid team.

Secondly - a cast bar with latency allowance for your flays. I use quartz.

Based on the limited info you've supplied, and rediculously easy rotation that a shadow priest has to keep up with, i'd say those things will fix your problem.

If you have a combat log i can tell you exactly whats wrong though =)
