Below is our guide for prioritizing your abilities optimally. This should help give you a basic understanding of what to do and what's most important to focus on. Each rotation list is more of a 'priority list'--in real-time, you'll constantly be determining which ability to use next. Out of all abilities you have available, use the one highest up in the priority list.
Shadow Priest DPS priority involves two phases. The first phase is executed in Shadowform to build Insanity so that you can enter Voidform for additional damage. However, the rotation remains largely the same in both forms.
*Shadowfiend on CD
*Shadow Word: Pain (maintain DoT See Note 1)
*Vampiric Touch (maintain DoT See Note 1)
*Void Eruption (See Note 2)
*Void Bolt on CD
*Shadow Word: Void on CD (See Note 3)
*Mind Flay (See Note 4)
You will want to enter Voidform as soon as you can, continuing to follow the above prioritization for generating Insanity optimally.
Note 1: It's generally best to avoid refreshing DoT's when it still has a lot of time left. Try and wait until they are about to expire before refreshing.How To Do Dmg As Shadow Priest 7.3.5 1
Note 2: Casting Void Eruption whenever possible is crucial for being able to activate Voidform in timely fashion.
Note 3: Replace Shadow Word: Void with Mind Blast in this priority list if not using that talent.
Note 4: Channeling Mind Flay is a great filler spell when there's nothing else to do. However, interrupt it as soon as you have something better to cast.How To Do Dmg As Shadow Priest 7.3.5 2017
*Shadowfiend on CD
*Void Eruption (See Note 2 above)
*Void Bolt on CD (if in Voidform)
*Shadow Word: Pain maintain DoT on multiple targets (See Note 5)
*Vampiric Touch maintain DoT on multiple targets (See Note 5)
Note 5: These DoTs are effective up to about 5 targets at once, and should not be applied on any target that will die in less than 8-12 seconds.
*Shadowfiend or Mindbender Use on cooldown while Voidform is active.
*Vampiric Embrace Use at the discretion of your party/raid leader for group healing.
