Rate my 24 spriest

Currently I'm going a glasscannon style set-up, i.e. favoring damage>all.
What should I change? Running Gnomer atm for the Charged Gears. I'm also not sure with which trinkets I should roll. And what should I take as a profession besides Engi? Please rate my gear and mog and give pointers.

Thank you for your responses!

- Black Velvet Robes > Tattered Dreadmist Robe
.

I disagree
I'll take the
12 Stam
8 Int
8 Crit

I'm not sure - the crit can almost make up for the missing 4 int, but you can't get that 700 health back. I'm going with the heirloom.

Girdle of nobility

+20 shadow damage on gloves.


beyond that, just take what Phonebook said.

I disagree

the reason why i said :

- Black Velvet Robes > Tattered Dreadmist Robe

was because he was looking for a complete glass cannon build with the most sp available. I'm well aware that you lose a lot of stats by useing Black Velvet Robes over Tattered Dreadmist Robe . if i was to pick a chest to use for a 'bis' balance setup id prolly use Mechbuilder's Overalls over both of those.

Then I have to question the glass cannon. If your goal is to PVP - then survivability is better. I agree highest spellpower, but you should go for it at a smart cost. I would rather my flash heals to keep me alive when 1 on 3 would be better served with +16int, followed by +16int on the dmg following my Flash Heal. +20 Shadow power only helps the DPS, and you get +0 on the heal.

I'll take my +16 to hands over the +16 Shadow

That's just my style. I like winning 1 v 3

I was looking for a glasscannon set, meaning damage over everything. I myself use a more balanced set in PvP aswell. I was merely curious what a glasscannon set would entail

He asked for glass cannon set, thats what i gave him. And lets be real here, its a shadow priest. You could pretty much 1v3 trials naked.

 

[Spriesta]

Well you're doing better than me currently.
I think it was said before, but if you're going glasscannon you should get rid of Insignia of Horde and go with another Discerning Eye. That'll increase the damage you deal, as survivability is not what you were looking for (so anti-stun/etc is not needed). Also, another Charged Gear of Intellect should replace your Heavy Silver ring.

Also, I understand that you want to do max-damage, but you need to be able to make sure that you don't oom in the middle of a long fight. You might even want to consider enchanting your chest with +50 mana - However, you should be able to kill opponents quick enough and +4 on all stats might serve you better.

The only time you'll ever go oom as a spriest is if you're forced to heal way to much, in which case you should either reconsider how you pick your battles or get away and drink / resto chest back up to full mana.

 

[Spriesta]

Not sure why - I am able to go for like 10-20 minute fights as Disc without losing mana, but as Shadow I can't go more than 5 mins. Also, these fights were in Wargames (2v2) or Dueling, so it's kind of hard to just 'get away'

 

[Whatgoesup]

If I ever go oom I just pop a mana potion. Problem solved.

That is fine in a duel or battleground, but you cannot drink any potions in a Wargame (the equivalent of Arena, but pre-set up).

While it is true that I did heal as Shadow, I was not healing that much. Not sure why I went OOM.
