Hi Folks

As the title suggests I need some advice on increasing my shadow priest DPS. My stats:

  • SP: 2589
  • Hit: 305
  • Crit: 16,57%
  • Haste: 655 (19,98%)

I'm doing about 4k dps on the dummy without Shadowfiend. But I keep getting told that I should be doing more dps with my gear. Now my question is, is that really true.

Does the priest have some must have stats - except for the hitcap of course? Does one need more than 20% crit or more than 700 haste for example?

Last but not least can anyone point me to an added that combines SP and Haste? I only know an added that just displays the raw stats increase.

Ohh and is there buff food specificially tailored for the shadow priest or is there just SP food?

Thanks in advance.

This question is difficult to answer without more information about your gear and rotation.

4k on the dummy is quite ok for your gear level.

But what's more intesting is the number from your raids. Not only because that's what really counts but also because dummy dps does not take into account aspects that play a big role in real raid encounters such as timing and movement.

Your crit value is borderline compared to your haste rating which actually should be higher.
