    General low dps shadow priest

    My DPS is seemingly low, even though I am ontime with my dots, mind blast, mind spikes and also DP but I always seem to be below the other class's and I am pushing myself alot. Just a few tips and help because I really need to up my dps because I want to keep getting picked haha!

    I'm not a spriest expert, but I may be able to shine some light on the subject. You need to put a meta gem in your helm, that is devaluing your crit by a slight amount. You also need to change your trinkets, those things are holding you back. You have inscription, use your superior enchant.

    No Meta Gem
    Missing Living Steel Belt Buckle
    Missing shoulder enchant [Inscription]
    2 Green Trinkets > Should upgrade to 463+
    Not all of youre gems are optimal ( never gem full int , 320 haste > 160 int, so red sockets should be 80int160haste)
    try to reach 8000 haste cap

    Fix this and your dps will increase significantly.

    Also replace one of your trinkets with the ghost iron dragonling. It will give you more stats and a dps proc.

    In terms of multi dotting how often should I do that, or should I just target one mob of a boss at a time for example on stone guard.

    On 10 HC I dot the 2 that are tanked together and leave the other one for Stone guard.
    Always multidot if you can (if things stay alive long enough for your dots to tick that is).

    Shadow dps is actually very bad and gear dependant this early in to the expansion, but with multidotting we become a lot better.
    As you gear up you'll catch up a bit with the rest. Reaching the haste cap will help a lot too.

    This is quite wrong. Only gem Haste if you can reach 8085 Haste. If you can't reach that, or if you are over that, gem for max Int.
    They're (short for They are) describes a group of people. "They're/They are a nice bunch of guys." Their indicates that something belongs/is related to a group of people. "Their car was all out of fuel." There refers to a location. "Let's set up camp over there." There is also no such thing as "could/should OF". The correct way is: Could/should'VE, or could/should HAVE.

    always multidot. single target feng i do about 65k dps, multi dotting on stone guards i've done 95k.

    mind blast is our most important spell. cast it as often as possible, only delay it to get off a 3 orb dp or to avoid dying. on the stone dogs take... i think its divine insight?... the talent that your swp ticks can proc mb and win

    Just an FYI but Drye has updated the OP of the [H2P] Shadow Haste Break Points thread incorporating all the math that's been done in the last week and presenting it in a user friendly way

    That will basically answer your "Should I be gemming Haste?" question.

    One of the problems with multi dotting for me is that by the time the first dots are on and then the second set on the next mob, the first set are running out so im constantly dotting

    Only gem this way when you will actually reach 8085 by doing so.
