elusi replied to your post: HEY I recently got my Spriest to 85 and my dps is awful beyond words even using EJ, would you mind if I asked some questions about your rotation? :s
I have something to add :3 shadow priests (well, any caster in general~) are very gear dependant. haste is your best friend, so, if you’re freshly dinged then I wouldn’t be surprised if your dps is bad.
Yes
Thissss. Very much this.
At the start of Cata, I was totally draggin behind everyone else in my guild who had equal gear level because I just didn’t have the haste to be effective. Mana is pretty rough for a fresh 85 too, so things like shadowfiend and archangel which are usually used as DPS cooldowns often have to be conserved for mana cooldowns instead.
