 what up boys this is the shadow pvp pre and post raid base lists for the diamol phase coming up next wednesday um this one's gonna be uh separate to the pve one i'm gonna do the pve one in a different video because otherwise it's gonna be too long and essentially what i'm gonna be talking about a little bit at the start is kind of like the mindset behind what i've taken choices or gone for these choices um compared to some more conventional stuff and and to be honest that's due to like i've been messing around with world pvp shadow for like a week or so now maybe two weeks just trying to get into fights trying to get into like 1v2s 1v3s like all sorts of crazy stuff like that and one thing i really noticed and and felt like was a problem was wasn't wasn't the health wasn't the damage of the manifold you tend to go in quite quick and then you just don't have anything to deal with like multiple people hitting you and what would happen is we would we would fight somebody we would get a good bit of damage into them and if they were like remotely competent and they would you know do something back and survive and then you know we'd be fighting a couple of guys they'd be doing some damage to us we'd CC them a bit have to heal up and then at that point you like okay now i want to try and finish one of them off but then i was running you so with that in mind i've decided health and mana are kind of priority now over any sort of damage and then some sort of regen as well mana per five and then kind of after that then we'll grab whatever ever spell damage we can and in later phases we'll be able to get more spell damage because these items with decent stamina and we'll have we'll have damage on as well but currently in at least in the pre raid there's very little that has good stats on and damage and in the post raid there's there's a few items but not that many so the spell damage doesn't actually scale that well for shadow a lot of the time you're going to be mind blasting painting and well pvp you're not going to be getting that many mind plays off at least in battles against multiple people because you're going to be trying to you know survive and stuff as well so globals are going to go on that and mind blast gains really low coefficient from from spell damage shadow or pain gains a decent bit but shadow or pain is it's not going to kill them quickly right it's the mind blasts that you're going to burst them down with so the pain is kind of an outlast tool so we're going to we're kind of avoiding we're not avoiding we're not prioritizing spell damage as much so to get into it otherwise it's going to be a babble on forever we're going to start with the dread miss mask and go with the the mask belt combo and i think that was in the previous one as well this one's kind of an update for that and that gives us 200 armor from the set and decent instam on both pieces compared to the options neck we've got lady maize the other option obviously is the jeweled amul of cane wind but that's a little bit lower in terms of stats um and then your other other options if you don't want to be a we are dark advisors penon which has got good damage on if you go for that route you got an anastaric heirloom which is a little bit less damage more stamina but less int no int in fact that one's okay as well if you've got it and then tooth of gnar is okay as well too far a lot of intellect on tooth of gnar and then a little bit of regen and stamina too so i'd say any of these top five are kind of okay for that slot kind of depends what you get but obviously this is the best list so lady maize i think is the best then we've got four piece necropile starting with the mantle necropile generally got a really good stamina in turn um and we're going for the four piece because of the 15 all res which is really strong and well pvp especially when we get you know a bit of all res on shoulders and chant cloak and chant a couple of other items with it on the post best list as well post raid that is so yeah the uh the 15 all res is strong i don't think we've got anything else with the resists on here and i think that's it uh cloak we got royal tribunal as horde you get the deep woodlands cloak and that's a solid pick whereas alliance i think royal tribunal is probably the best you can get uh chest alanas if you can't get alanas then necropile chest is fine you're going to lose some int and spirit but you're going to gain a bit of damage um but with the kind of mindset that we're going into this with we're going for the maximum amount of int and stam so alanas is is the best then we've got necropile cuffs uh not too many options in terms of braces there's a couple of others that kind of come close but uh i think necropile is all all round kind of the most rounded item and obviously you get the the set bonus from it too staff you got kind of two options you got the trindle haven staff from lower black rock spire and it's got a lot of int a lot of stamina and some damage on well your other option is actually glowing bright with staff it's got so much in on it a little bit more stamina than trindle haven and then you essentially you're trading the damage for that and a bit of spirit and nature res so i'm tempted to say that this is actually even better than trindle haven um by a fraction but if you do want some damage then trindle haven's fine or if you've got it you know either of these will be fine for world pvp wand it's got to be storm rager there's no other choice really the 1.3 speed eight stamp five in we've talked about it before it's just a super solid wand all around gloves we're going silk web um there wasn't that much other choice you can potentially go felcloth if you are going the more damage route and they're fine too but they don't have any int which is kind of their case heal as it were so i've gone for the silk webs because they're just going to help keep our manner up a lot more grab this belt as we've said necropile legs really solid stats on this i'm all around there's a couple of other options if you want to pick up a little bit of damage you got the spirit shrouds which is a little bit less in and stand but obviously the damage and then sacred cloth same thing really a little bit more intellect than the spirit shrouds a little bit less spirit little less stamina but well less damage as well it's more for the intellect you would go for those but they're okay as well and then if you really want a lot of damage then you've got the sky shrouds but you lose so much intellect going those so overall i've gone for the necropile just to make us a bit more tanky with the foreset and then finishing that off with necropile boots other options are post masters slightly better stats all around but then you don't get the foreset and malakies if you want some more damage rings we're going for blood of the martyr and magister ring and they just generally have the best in stem combo of any of the pre raid stuff you could potentially go for the cyclopean band if you want some damage as well emerald flame is healing seal of riven dare doesn't have stem band of the era fun is okay but not as good as the the other two options and then trinkets we've actually gone for double mind tap here you can potentially sub in a briar would read as well and so you can go briar would read mind tap and you can switch around either which one for your unused trinkets i've just put double mind tap for now because it's we've been for like a nice hefty manner build right so double mind tap seems appropriate here but you can you can sub in briar would if you have it if you want it if you're feeling like you lacking a little bit of damage you know it's all about being versatile and being able to change up on the spot understanding what the situation needs that sort of stuff obviously you can change the helm for rocket home and stuff like that as well and then we've got the disc sorry the shadow post raid this list and this one was a little bit trickier we've got a few a few kind of contested picks i guess where i'm not a hundred percent certain yet but we've made a pretty good bet i guess we're starting with the circle of prophecy and to be honest this one is relatively uncontested you've got halo of transcendence but it's healing circle of prophecy actually has some damage on it and they have about the same stats in terms of instam all that good stuff the only thing that the halo has is the frost resistance extra so if you're fighting mage is potentially want to grab that if you've got a few other pieces of frost but i know it means mandatory good neck we've got choker of the fire lord and this one was a little bit contested again you can potentially go for lady maize just for the stats there's so much intellect and stamina but then you are losing 34 damage and healing which is definitely a significant amount and we shouldn't discount it even if we're going for uh stamina int i think 34 damage and healing is so much that for the sake of 12 int and 3 stamina it seems like a lot and the other option here is choker of enlightenment now here we're only losing what 16 so we're losing 16 damage and healing for the sake of 3 int and 2 stamina now again it doesn't it seems like choker of the fire lord is is actually the best here just because of the amount of damage and healing on it it's so much especially for a neck dark advisors obviously a really good pick as well same stamina and you're only losing 14 damage and healing so if you can get this it's a good shout for sure um but yeah i think choker of the fire lord just wins out all around but again you can use most of these necks and you'll be fine the difference is not that significant in the necks um so you've got a bunch of different choices and then options here but as this is the best list we're going to go with the choker shoulders we've got mantle of prophecy again it has damage and healing on and we're actually getting five pieces of prophecy overall the five set not that strong for us a shadow the three set it's okay for when we have to pop out and start healing but they're not uh they're not you know shadow set bonuses um in any way but the items do have really good stats on compared to what else is available so only epic available in in this phase is going to be the mantle of prophecy and it just beats out everything else in terms of raw stats so no real contest there cloak again same sort of of reasoning it just beats out everything in terms of raw stats just hands down uh hide of the world is out in the diamond uh phase but it's healing so it's not going to be much used to us so saffron drape is uh this cloak and then chest is still alana's the other option here obviously is the robes of prophecy which has slightly more intellect but no damage and healing so again you could go robes of prophecy here that's fine too i think alana's slightly beats out um you're trading seven int for three spirit 20 damage and healing essentially uh the fire is is relatively negligible in pvp i'd say wrists vambraces of prophecy and again we don't really have that much choice here they just have significantly more stats than everything else available so even though it are healing they're just better everything else on them is better so we're gonna go for those one distil storm rager sorry staff i've got the best bit uh staff we've got anathema relatively easy to pick up from mc insane stats on it for shadow beats everything else hands down like by a stupid amount so many so much in so much dam so much damage and it's got some bonus mp5 and shadow res as well like it's insane insane stuff you're not going to come close to that this patch for shadow for sure uh and yeah one distil storm rager no changes there and i think it stays for a couple of patches actually and we got a quite a curious pick for the gloves we got gloves of the hip not a flame and the reason for that is they just have so much stamina in on so even though they have fire damage on and some of their budget is gone on that uh the stamina in make up for it with that little bit of damage uh and they're just beating out gloves of prophecy and everything else to be honest all the blues have just lower stamina and since that's kind of what we're aiming for gloves of hip hip not a flame actually win here uh belt we've got sash of whispered secrets and it actually doesn't have any int on and you could potentially argue that girdle of prophecy is worth it we're trading 22 in for 10 stamina and what's that 24 damage but we gained the four mp5 as well so i think either of these these belts are fine it kind of depends on what what you're going for a little bit more um i think girdle of prophecy is is is definitely a good pick there is a lot of damage that you're losing out by by taking it though but 22 in actually i'm gonna switch over i'm gonna go for girdle of prophecy here i just think it's a superior pick for the set you know the mindset that we're going with here so 22 in there and then we've got the pants of prophecy again only contest is really manastome legs but they have a lot less int and less stamina even though they do have some more mp5 it's going to take you about 90 seconds to recover the int that you lose by taking them over prophecy and you're generally not in combat for 90 seconds so pants of prophecy generally a better all-round item that's completely discounting the spirit as well by the way um and legs of transcendence again they're actually slightly worse in terms of stats which is which is weird they gain one mp5 and they gain some healing but we don't really care about that as shadow it's nasty to lose the arcane resist because it's always nice against mages but pants of prophecy are just significantly better i'd say uh boots we've got boots of prophecy again no real contest here uh they're not that good but again there's nothing really that is so they just win by being the best of a bad bunch to be honest with you uh rings we've got band of sulfurus and seal of archmaid their arch mages and uh this this pick is kind of a little bit contested i think i don't know i feel like people don't like this ring but i think it's low-key really strong like six all-raise is just handy handy to have uh it's got good in it's got good stamp on bonus spirit and some mp5 and yeah okay it doesn't have anyone near the end that band of sulfurus has but this is unique so we can't have two otherwise we would but i think that there isn't there isn't another good option to be out of the seal uh blood of the martyr slightly more stamp a little bit less in but then you're losing all that res spirit and mp5 so i don't think it beats it for me uh other options are i guess cyclopean if you want some damage people have been talking about ring of spell power underworld band but again we're not really going for damage right we're trying to go for for survivability and longevity so that's kind of the reason i picked that here and i think it's a pretty solid solid ring in terms of just beefing up all round stats trinkets we got shout of the scale solid mp5 on it easy easy pickup for shadow and this is going to help you a lot in you know your longer battles and your well pvp stuff where you're not just instantly killing somebody and you're getting into back to back fight stuff like that it's gonna it's gonna be really noticeable i think and then finally we got the talisman and this is just gonna make you chunk when you pop this bad boy um good luck getting it as a priest if you get it congrats otherwise you're gonna be waiting uh unless you get it from like a pug you can be waiting until after the majors and warlocks get at least um but yeah if you're patient pick it up i think it's a good good pick and it's going to be for a couple of phases uh so that's everything if you have any slots that you don't agree with or if you don't agree with the mindset or anything or you've got a counter argument anything like that i'd love to hear it that's kind of how we can prove and learn and stuff like that so please let me know in the comments i hope you liked the video i will be uploading these sets to death blind as well as i have done with all the other ones and yeah cheers for watching have a good one
