Shadow Priest in Outland following patch 3.0.2

With the introduction of the new talent trees, towards the release in November of the Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK for short), all players have had their talent point reimbursed.

This enables everyone to re-spec to a build of their own fancy, and for new outland players just passing level 60 to be able to choose their talents in quite a different way.

With the new trees, we can now use all our talent point on the Shadow tree alone, and forgo the need to invest any point in the other tree builds. That is to say, that one can reach level 70 and still have point only in the Shadow tree, and advance to the other trees only once passing level 70.

For those that do want to have a build that's mostly shadow, but still has a few points in the others, you can invest 51 points in the Shadow Tree, and take the rest to the either the Holy or the Discipline trees.

What is important is to take at least 51 points and invest them in all the dps related talents there are on the Shadow Tree. That way, you can maximize your ability to preform as a DPS caster.

One idea is to invest point in "Twin Disciplines", or you could choose "Unbreakable Will", or any other 1st tier talents that strike your fancy.

What's important, though, is to make sure you've made use of all the points you can that are related to generating damage.
