Quote:Looking at the build, there is one thing I would change, skip shadow power and go with 2 points in Imp PS, 1 point in Silence, and 2 points in Fade (since you have no threat reduction from Silent Resolve). While the additional 15% crit would be nice on Mind Blast and Shadow Word: Death, you're majority of damage is going to come through Shadow Word: Pain, Vampiric Touch, and Mind Flay (and these spells are less of a threat jump than Mind Blast and Shadow Word: Death can be). There are also enough mobs around to warrant the use of Silence on occasion as a backup for the Shaman and Mages.I can see possibly trying to go for silence, but we generally have enough shaman, mages, rogues and DPS warriors that we usually don't have our shadow priests silencing as well. Especially with so many bosses immune to silence, but not to interrupts.
And the two points in Fade is a complete waste for him. The only time any of our priests have to fade (including shadow priests, iirc. Xar, Azzlea, chime in here please), is when things have gone horribly wrong. And usually, if they do end up having to use fade, they don't have to fade again before the cooldown is up. Missing the points in silent resolve won't be an issue either. I've never had threat reduction talents on my characters and the only time I pull heal aggro is when we get an incoming add and I try to be the first heal the add sees so it doesn't go squish a squishier healer than I. If I don't get it through heal aggro off the other healers, I've got my frost shock.:D For him, I really don't see those points as worthwhile, knowing how raiding goes for us on Terenas.
Intolerant monkey.
