The PvE "Sidekick" Shadow Priest build

[Treesh]

I think a few of you are missing where I'm coming from. First off, Silent Resolve is useless to a Shadow Priest that doesn't Holy heal as VE healing is shadow based, thus Silent Resolve does nothing. The reasoning behind Fade is when Holy healing, not when DPSing/VEing.

Likewise, Silence does have uses as you get a little deeper into SSC and TE where you typically will be seeing packs that are 6 to 7 strong. Most of the mobs are CC'able and if you do not have enough CC to minimize some threats from casting mobs, you can fall back on silence to shut them down from casting and have a tank try to hold on to them.

And you really don't need fade when holy healing. Silence, yes, I said before, I can see uses for him getting it, but improved fade is just going to be two wasted points.
