Shadow Priest PvE best in slot at level

The best gear for a level 30 Priest in WoW Forever, slot by slot, with stats and sources for every item. Shadow PvE list: Shadow damage and spell power above all, then hit.

Itemization changed significantly in WoW Forever. We will update these lists as soon as we can better model the stats.

Lists up to date with build 70755 (November 3). Some items are yet to be found, so the lists will keep changing.

Stats are read from the game client. Rankings within each slot are ours, best first, for dungeons at the level 30 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.
