My brother is about to get back into wow from a hiatus.
He is the
s-priest
(his gems haven't yet been changed to what i have in the profile.. i will be upgrading those for him tonight.... so his armory wont match exactly)
I am trying to give his toon a once-over so he is ready to hop in as soon as he is back.
I found
this
talent/glyph build in the
Anathema sticky
.
I have a few questions.
1st:
why do they use
Glyph of mind flay
instead of
Glyph of mind sear
?
2: Is maxing out
Improved Shadowform
better than taking both
Improved VE
and
Improved spirit tap
?
and finally
3: Is there anything else standing out that I have missed?
Thank you!

I was thinking of switching him to this
spec.
he has
this
in his bags which changes his +hit to 366.. and according to shadowpriest.com : (not sure if this info is correct....)
Spell Hit Caps:
* 290 hit is the cap with 6 points between Shadow Focus and Misery
* 315 hit before you can go to 5 points between Shadow Focus and Misery
* 341 hit before you can go to 4 points between Shadow Focus and Misery
* 368 hit before you can go to 3 points between Shadow Focus and Misery
* 394 hit before you can go to 2 points between Shadow Focus and Misery
* 420 hit before you can go to 1 point between Shadow Focus and Misery
* 446 hit before you can go to 0 points between Shadow Focus and Misery
If im reading this right... that means that i can even remove the +hit gems and he will have 2 points freed up from shadow focus (not misery as other raiders "may" depend on that... to be placed in imp shadowform.
(i do not want to remove from imp ve because i know that he absolutely loves that aspect of shadowpriests and refused to remove that even when it was causing threat issues back in tbc)
P.S.
Which should I remove the 2 talent points from?
Misery, or shadow focus?
Thanks for the replies!

what other trinkets do you have? haste is utterly useless for spriests atm so neither are going to be brilliant right now and fetish is pretty bad regardless.
regarding talents, according to
the chart here
you'd be at 290 hit with 2 more points in shadow affinity if you dumped the hit trinket. so to take imp shadow form if you want to keep imp ve, i would take the points out of focused mind because i never had any mana issues as shadow
edit: ignore the post above, panik is a well known idiot
vv there you go.
Basically he has all the brewfest trinkets.
And access to all the badge ones... (has a stockpile of badges saved up) like
this
He has a bunch of heroic (5-man) ones too but they seem more healer-orientated (+spirit etc....)
And the reason I wanted to dump the +hit talents is because all of his upgrades had no +hit. (in order to use his upgrades he needed more hit.... problem is the trinket he has to do so... puts him way over the cap....)
This is the setup that gets him wearing his highest ilvl gear, while maintaining the hitcap...
Any thoughts on how to do it differently? (assume access to all conq, val, hero badge gear and 1 upgrade for triumph if needed)

Not really, if you have too much Hit Rating and no alternative other than dropping talents, it'll work, for now, but keep in mind (or have your bro keep in mind) to fix his spec when he gets hit rating gear upgrades.
Don't worry, We won't forget. Hit is the #1 dps stat for.. well.. everyone.
I could have just left it.. but i figure that he should be 100% ready to go when he returns.
Boot-camp blows and I want him to be able to log in and go raid something without worrying about tweaking his gear/spec.
