The Shadow Priest - Part 3
Shadow priests play a versatile roll in levels 60-70 in World of Warcraft. In the previous parts (part 1,part 2) we discussed how a Shadow Priest can both DPS and heal, sometimes at the same time, using abilities unique to him. In this third part we will review some of the better uses and abilities of the Shadow Priests in Outland as levels 60-70.
Shadow Priests are a proper DPS class casters. That means that the damage they do is by using magic spells. There are many different spells at their dissposal, but safice us to say that they are casters (unlike hunters, rogues or paladins who can DPS without casting).
When leveling 60-70, either by questing or by doing a lot of dungeons, the Shadow Priest is a sought after party member as a DPS. As a healer, the Shadow Priest has many rivals who are proper healers (holy priests, healer paladins, druids and more). Therefore, the Shadow Priests' uniqueness is in their ability to DPS, and aid the main healer as a secondary healer to heal all the group via Vampiric Embrace, at the same time as dealing damage.
While questing, the DPS role is vastly superior. It is also preferable when doing most dungeons, but there could be instances when a Shadow Priest will be main healer. This can be achieved by the Shadow Priest having a high healing bonus, and able to properly heal the tank. Sometimes, Vampiric Embrace can also be useful, but when healing a tank the healing bonus takes more affect.
