Shadow Priest vs Rogue and Mages

[northaunt]

Hey guys. Im thinking about rolling priest. How shadow priest usually does against same geared rogues or mages? especially at lvl 60

[hechie]

Depends on skill and preperation but you should be able to kill most mages and rouges

[Zaft]

SP completely destroys mages and rogues, so don't worry about that. Maybe once AQ comes around rogues will have a chance with BiS gear and maybe once Naxx comes around mages will be able to burst anyone regardless, but for now with the current gear available SP is a beast. Shadow priest sort of doesn't scale as well as the other classes apart from their dot, so they won't be as OP in the future when we're talking about both duelers being fully Naxx geared, but that's quite a while away.

If you're Horde, you shit on them.
If you're Alliance, the enemy is probably undead so your first fear is useless; gets a bit harder.

I dont think is that hard to kill a SP with a mage seriusly.

That fear isn't even a main ability in SP pvp play. Having blue instance gear gives you 1.8k mindblast crits and a 2,4k dot. You get another MB off and the other guy is dead.

EDIT: to OP, killing mages is silly, you just throw your dot on them and then run away from range. They blink and start casting = grenade + keep running, or iceblock the dot = repeat. You don't go face to face against a mage, they outdamage you during that 6 second cd you're waiting for MB to come up. Trust that damn dot, love it and keep throwing it till the cows come home <3
