TBC Shadow Priest PvP Arena BiS & Pre-BiS Gear Season One! 

You could definitely do that! I will be using a MH/OH combo because the crit isn't too valuable and get hit from rings/talents. 3% is cap, although extra is always helpful vs certain classes!

Why take any hit, don't you get all you need from talents?

@@sjisx You may take additional hit for Dispel Magic (up to 3%), which is a Holy spell used offensively to purge enemy buffs. Additional hit also helps counteract some enemy spells/talents such as Unbreakable Will, Cloak of Shadows, or the Orc stun resist passive.

20/0/41 - The exact talents are flexible, still working on them!

Thank you! Scryer exalted lets you make runic, but anyone can equip it so Aldor typically is preferred because the shoulder enchant is exclusive whereas leg enchant can be bought on AH.

Made the video before Engi belt meta. I use the belt for 2v2.

Thank you!

I am, the Pre-Pre BiS set at 12:23 includes Unyielding in the video and I am using it on live at the moment.

@@ExpiryTV why aren't you using it in your BIS set? Not just prebis.

I don't believe it is Best in Slot over the General's Dreadweave items. You lose a lot of spell power, intellect, and armor for minor resilience gains. Comments on WoWHead seem to agree. In my opinion its a great placeholder set while you grind honor.

@@ExpiryTV how do you plan on getting the spell pen then?

after further review, i'm not a fan of this "bis" list at all. I don't think you have a lot of experience with PvP based on your setup.

Thank you, that's the plan!

The era of Troll has yet to come...but it will; soon.

Thank you for the comment and insight! As a brief rebuttal: the Endless server armory has the highest rating as 2270 and a severely small sample size on a server that functions and is maintained differently from live. I love how this comment uses other players' success as a metric for what makes a meta, spec, or itemization good/enjoyable. The meta determines which gems/set bonuses are viable, and even with historical data that meta will be different (and already is) because the live environment has different players and player philosophies. Note how Classic WoW was completely different from Vanilla with the world buff meta which changed the way people played certain classes like Tank Warriors. You bring up some valid points, but to say the video is "plain wrong" doesn't account for a variety of factors. Nowhere do I say "you must itemize this way". Spend your arena points and gems however you want, this is what I will be doing and recommend to Spriest PvP players, which may evolve over time.

@@ExpiryTV It's one thing to say this is what you're doing and another to call it the PvP BiS list. The meta isn't different from endless. In fact it's only solidified since the release of arenas in classic. The problem is you're misleading a bunch of players because you have no idea what you're talking about.

Thanks for your comment!

@@ExpiryTV I do what I can. Don't make another video without doing better research.
