For those asking, Vampiric Embrace is only high priority when your guild is asking for it. They shouldn’t be asking for it on fights that do not get any value from it. These fights (that get exceptional value from VE) typically start coming in tier 5 and are even more prevalent in tier 6 and beyond.
you can easily apply sw:p earlier to save time - i mean at 15:20 your sw:p is about to expire and you casted mindblast into sw:d , shouldn't you apply sw:p and then rotate another flay into sw:d since sw:d and sw:p are instant casts you try to cast them after a spell with casting time no?
Hey, first video I've come across where people see that SPriest doesn't just go all out ham and oom within 15 seconds. Been saying this all throughout Classic and no one seems to understand.
I still wonder about this hit rating thing. When I google they say around 16% which is around 264 hit rating. Are you including 264 required hit rating with the talents? or does the talents reduce the hit rating cap to 79?
@@petervdberk1781 Found it, weak Auras has an option for it. Just check the menu point "Symbols", there you can choose all the ability for your class. Will take a few min to set it up nicely, but its perfect. Have a good day
Hello, A quick question to be sure (I'm not a native English speaker). Do Shadow Weaving and Misery talents increase the magic damage of the whole raid or just the group where the shadow priest is?? Thank you
I chose to roll this class as a boosted character and went directly into the Dark Portal and I'm struggling lol. This guide is helpful, but I find myself running out of mana even trying the "eco" mode rotation.
wait its better dps to prio Mind Blast and SWD even if SWP isn't up? I thought keeping Vampiric Touch and SWP at as close to 100% uptime would be best.
Not needed as you won't need to worry about threat as much since AoE damage is low so Vamp. Embrace won't be healing that much. Up to you though, nice talent to have. What are you wanting instead? And yes focused mind is mandatory for every type of content for sp
Hello. Can someone suggest me a class for TBC Classic (although I'm starting from zero) that has a more interactive rotation other than spam Shadowbolt and the one macro Hunter? It seems Priest can be a good option but any other suggestion?
If you’re starting from 0, keep in mind that while the rotations are simple of mages, hunters, and warlocks, it doesn’t take away from the fact that they could still be fun to play for you. Your single target dps rotation is such a small part of your adventures
@@ZGTGaming it is! haha I think I'll start with a Priest since Shadow seems to be good DPS at the first couple tiers and is a good support and also got the possiblity to heal. Then I might try a Mage/Warlock or Feral Druid
I mean they all have advantages right. Human has the human spirit (increases spirit by 10%) which is great for holy, ok for shadow. Draenei have the 1% spell hit increase which can allow you some additional throughput stats since you’ll need 1% less hit to get hit capped Edit; Draenei also have symbol of hope, a group wide mana returning channel ( works like a Druids tranquility, but restores mana)
A shadow priest should be partied with a Elemental shaman as a main spot and the side spots go to a rotation of healers or mages. All depends on the guilds composition. But in a raid you would like a ele in your group for totem buffs, that in return will boost your SP and thus give you more mana return on VT. Now for the less important spots. If you have say 5 healers in the raid, and 4 of the healers are geared and dont need the extra mana regen throughout a raid encounter, throw the average geared healer, and 2 mages in the shadow priests group. If you are early on in TBC classic and healers are not geared, go with 1 ele shaman and 3 healers to help the healers gain mana. Having a ele shaman/3 healers is more efficient than having 4 healers because the shaman totem will boost your VT alot more efficiently. Hope that made sense.
They’re pretty much the definition of support class I’d say. Not a bad thing. Part of the reason why their dps is low is because of how crappy vampiric touch is for your individual dps on a shorter fight for example.
Bruh what the fuck is that pronunciation of "moroes" LMAO. "MORE-EE-OHS" ??? It's just "moroes" dude... "More-ohs". How the hell can you fuck that up? xD

Great video! Better undead or troll for horde pve shadow priest Tbc?
Not a big deal either way.

Best tbc video ive seen so far about the best tbc class in the game :)
Ahhhh, the perfect channel for me. Shadow Priests, humor and information 😂 Great job sir
Keep up the shadow priest content, thank you so good!
Very informative video. Been browsing for weeks about shadow priests and your video has been one of the best. Not overly complicated. Thanks
new to spriest, thank you for this. it helped and ill be coming back again.
Best video I’ve seen so far! Thank you!
Hey, first video I've come across where people see that SPriest doesn't just go all out ham and oom within 15 seconds. Been saying this all throughout Classic and no one seems to understand.
Shadowfiend tips were helpful, thank you.
Absolutely stellar video! You nailed it.
Hey this video was incredible, thank you for sharing your information and tips
I'd have to say I wouldn't even use Vamp heal in turbo mode as it resets spell cd denying casting after used, slowing your dps potential
great guide, many tips i didnt know
Amazing video & SO helpful! Thank you!!
I pull a shit ton of aggro on my SP, fully dot and mind flay/mind blast and get aggro almost right away.
Can anyone help me with the name of the addon which shows threat @12:50?
I still wonder about this hit rating thing. When I google they say around 16% which is around 264 hit rating. Are you including 264 required hit rating with the talents? or does the talents reduce the hit rating cap to 79?
Its 76 not 79 with 5/5 s affinity
Best guide by far
nice videos man! where'd you go :(
what addons are you using?
great vid, brother
Great video man! Great UI also! make a video about healers UI and tips for classic :)
Keep it up bro ur channel gonna blow up
Hi,
Great content. Tx for that.
Whats the addon that gives the timer on your debuffs on the boss?
The 1 above your health and mana bar.( at 8:18)
Do you know by know? I would like to know it as well
@@DerLanz Nope,
Did not find it yet.
Iff you find it. Let me know😊

Also have a nice day.😊
Great info video!
Hi there ZGT what addons are shown at 5:17 really liked them
The damned Kurator and Shadow Word: Death...Onehitted myself once 😄
Hello,
A quick question to be sure (I'm not a native English speaker). Do Shadow Weaving and Misery talents increase the magic damage of the whole raid or just the group where the shadow priest is?? Thank you
whole raid
Windfury-heroism shadow fiend tops the meters
Can’t argue with that!
I chose to roll this class as a boosted character and went directly into the Dark Portal and I'm struggling lol. This guide is helpful, but I find myself running out of mana even trying the "eco" mode rotation.
Just do some starting quests and change "boosted" gear, it's very bad on stats.
Moreos? What do those taste like?
wait its better dps to prio Mind Blast and SWD even if SWP isn't up? I thought keeping Vampiric Touch and SWP at as close to 100% uptime would be best.
Good stuff.
what addon did he say he was using for tracking his dots and CDs, ive been searching for one for tbc classic
Great video, you’ve just talked me out of maining a Spriest
aww why
More Shadowpriest content
can someone explain how does mind flay refresh Vampiric touch/embrace ?
Not in TBC
Why Blizzard made Locks scale so much better then SP is for a me huge ??? They should have changed this in classic TBC because that scaling is INSANE!
Where is the new content!!
what addon is that to show your spells on the target that are big on your screen, on the maiden fight 1:26
Not sure, that was random b-roll hahaha
Did he cover Aldor vs. Scryer?
hey! content idea - What is the best healer for GDKPs (topping meters ofc for better cut) in TBC?
Sure, but I don’t know how possible Kara gdkps will be or even mag, gruul for a little while for most guilds
Since it will be 10 man, would be difficult to carry more than 2
@@ZGTGaming i was thinking about 25mans mostly, i dont think 10mans will be profitable
And if you plan to play SP, name it Oomzillah
Shadow Affinity (threat reduction) talent worth it for 5 man/kara stuff? Focused Mind (mana cost reduction)?
Not needed as you won't need to worry about threat as much since AoE damage is low so Vamp. Embrace won't be healing that much. Up to you though, nice talent to have. What are you wanting instead? And yes focused mind is mandatory for every type of content for sp
Need the addons used at 6:32 :)
Hello. Can someone suggest me a class for TBC Classic (although I'm starting from zero) that has a more interactive rotation other than spam Shadowbolt and the one macro Hunter? It seems Priest can be a good option but any other suggestion?
Shadow Priest, enh sham or Feral dps
If you’re starting from 0, keep in mind that while the rotations are simple of mages, hunters, and warlocks, it doesn’t take away from the fact that they could still be fun to play for you. Your single target dps rotation is such a small part of your adventures
@@ZGTGaming Thats a good point. Thank you!
Right now I'm trying to decide to start with one of those: Priest, Shaman, Mage, Warlock or Druid.
Well that’s almost the whole cast haha. Don’t worry that’s what makes it exciting
@@ZGTGaming it is! haha I think I'll start with a Priest since Shadow seems to be good DPS at the first couple tiers and is a good support and also got the possiblity to heal. Then I might try a Mage/Warlock or Feral Druid
What do you think is best race for an alliance priest? Going to play a shadow in TBC but could also switch to holy for raids if my guild needs it
I mean they all have advantages right. Human has the human spirit (increases spirit by 10%) which is great for holy, ok for shadow. Draenei have the 1% spell hit increase which can allow you some additional throughput stats since you’ll need 1% less hit to get hit capped
Edit; Draenei also have symbol of hope, a group wide mana returning channel ( works like a Druids tranquility, but restores mana)
Night elves have starshards which is meh ok
And dwarves have chastise.. meh for raids
Should I use Devouring Plague in raids? With Inner Focus.
Early it’s ok, but mind blast with definitely be better to use with it as you gain more spell power
How's it in pvp? Imagine you're just heavily outclassed by affliction warlock
Good in 2’a with a 2’s with a rogue or mage. Decent in god comp with resto Druid sp frost mage
are shadow priests best partied with healers?
A shadow priest should be partied with a Elemental shaman as a main spot and the side spots go to a rotation of healers or mages. All depends on the guilds composition. But in a raid you would like a ele in your group for totem buffs, that in return will boost your SP and thus give you more mana return on VT.
Now for the less important spots.
If you have say 5 healers in the raid, and 4 of the healers are geared and dont need the extra mana regen throughout a raid encounter, throw the average geared healer, and 2 mages in the shadow priests group.
If you are early on in TBC classic and healers are not geared, go with 1 ele shaman and 3 healers to help the healers gain mana.
Having a ele shaman/3 healers is more efficient than having 4 healers because the shaman totem will boost your VT alot more efficiently.
Hope that made sense.
Why did this feel like a LOL champion spotlight? Am I the only one?
So shadow priest is a support class in classic? But the meeeeeteeeeeerrrrsss
They’re pretty much the definition of support class I’d say. Not a bad thing. Part of the reason why their dps is low is because of how crappy vampiric touch is for your individual dps on a shorter fight for example.
You sure shadow fiend does physical and not shadow?
100%
Thanks for the nice comments on Reddit, appreciate your support
@@ZGTGaming It melees its target but it DOES deal shadow damage and will be affected by any debuffs that increase shadow/magic damage taken.
@@Midinette-bu2xq right, but it's still affected by armor reduction debuffs
@@Midinette-bu2xq kind of both I guess, never really looked at it that way. But i knew it benefited from wrath of air totem and such
