Shadow Priest PvE best in slot at level

The best gear for a level 20 Priest in the WoW Forever beta, slot by slot, with stats and sources for every item. Shadow PvE list: Shadow damage, and plain spell power with it, since Mind Blast and Shadow Word: Pain are all this list casts. Stamina next, because nothing here makes a priest harder to reach. Then Intellect. Healing and the other schools are worth nothing.

Level 20 list, kept as it was before the beta went to level 30 on October 1. See the level 30 list

Stats are read from the beta client. Rankings within each slot are ours, best first, for dungeons at the level 20 cap, on what the list says it weighs at the top of the page. Quests marked “in Classic” come from Classic’s data: Forever may have moved their level. Seen something better on a stream or in your bags? Tell us through the note at the bottom right.
