I thought I made this post earlier, but it never showed up Oh well, here it is again.
Greetings Forum,
My main is Holy, but I'm trying to make my shadow more viable... I'm really a terrible Spriest though. I wanna be able to raid with my shadow gear if I'm needed to switch, etc.
After lots of browsing, I found various lists for Best in Slot Shadow Priest all which seemed to point to these items below... does this look correct?
(FYI I tried providing links and it told me I couldn't b/c I have to post a few times. I'll update with the links later)
Head: Mask of New Snow - Valor Points
Neck:Tauntka’s Necklace - High Prophet Barim – Lost City of Tolvir
Shoulder: Kyrstel Mantle - Ascendant Lord Obsidius – Blackrock Caverns
Chest: Robes of Rampant Growth - Ammunae – Halls of Origination
Back: Cloak of Ancient Wisdom - Earthen Ring Rep - Revered
Wrist: Crimsonborne Bracers - Drahga Shadowburner – Grim Batol
Hands: Flamebloom Gloves - Earthen Ring - Exalted
Waist: Belt of the Depths - Tailoring
Legs: Breeches of Mended Nightmares - Tailoring
Feet: Desert Walker Sandals - Ramkahen - Exalted
Ring: Ring of the Boy Emperor - Tol'vir - Archaeology
Ring: Diamant’s Ring of Temperance - Therazane Rep - Revered
Trinket: Anhuur’s Hymnal - Temple Guardian Anhuur – Halls of Origination
Trinket: Gale of Shadows - Erudax – Grim Batol

Wand: Wand of Untainted Power - Forgemaster Throngus – Grim Batol
-or-
Main Hand: Scepter of Power – Setesh - Halls of Origination
Off Hand: Apple bent Bough - Justice points - 950
Questions:
- A few of those items have spirit. Do I reforge any spirit on these items for.... crit? mastery?
- I'm a little put off by the archaeology items... any recommendations for other items to replace the Archaeology ones?
Also, if all I've read is to be believed, my stat concerns at this time are: Int > haste > Crit > Mastery
What happened to hit? should I just not worry about it? Is there a hit cap I should reach? from what I've read, it seems that there is a split in opinions about hit capping or not. As an off-spec, should I worry about it? I'm not trying to top the charts here, I just want to keep up so it's viable in a raid if needed.
Last Q: for trash mobs / doing dailies, is there an optimal rotation for damage/maintain mana? or do most people just do whatever? I seem to MindSpikex3, MB, SW;D with occasional dots as needed. I just don't know what people do to DPS in general. LOL I'm such a healer.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
