Priest Pvp Guide

The shadowplay spec is almost identical to the shatter spec other than you will want to swap out the frost mage for an affliction warlock.  So in this part of my priest pvp guide we are focusing on shadow priest, affliction warlock, and resto shaman.  If you look at this spec you’ll see the overall strength as the massive amount of dots you can get on your target in almost no time at all makes taking the offensive almost too easy.

Although I prefer to play the shatter spec on my priest I do have some first hand experience of this spec as well.  One of my favorite toons happens to be a human warlock who also happens to be affliction spec.  My 2v2 on that toon was a resto shaman/affliction lock so I thought I’d try this out and added a shadow priest friend of mine.  I have to say at least from a lock’s point of view this spec looks fun as hell.  Anyway, I hope you’ve enjoyed this third part of my priest pvp guide and I’ll be back for more later.  In the meantime go check out Pvp Bible, I promise you won’t regret it.
