Are you a priest? And what do you think are the best weapons for you in patch 4.3? Today we will discuss with you about the ten best weapons of Shadow Priest in Patch 4.3!
When we met here last, I spent a great deal of time calculating the power of trinkets, partially because it’s an important subject and one that’s not easy for a shadow priest to unravel without performing their own research (or reading someone else’s). The real reason: WoW Insider data shows you guys absolutely love reading about trinkets. And why wouldn’t you? Trinkets are the most compelling gear slot to fill. Instead of relying on boring, flat stats, they offer compelling procs.
There are numerous types of weapons available, but for our purposes, we’ll break things down into two distinct categories: one-handed weapons and two-handed weapons. Before we get into specific answers, let’s take on the one question that everyone asks:
Two-handed weapons vs. main-hand plus off-hand
In general, all items that share the same item level have the same stat budget when they’re being designed. But while a main-hand weapon plus an off-hand frill have a similar stat budget to a two-handed weapon, they’re not quite the same. To wit, at i378:
• Fanged Tentacle + Orb of the First Satyr = 400 intellect, 2,333 spellpower, and 525 points of secondary stats
• Scepter of Azshara + Demonic Skull = 400 intellect, 2,333 spellpower, and 516 points of secondary stats
• Stalk of Corruption = 406 intellect, 2,334 SP, and 541 points of secondary stats
• Jaina’s Staff = 406 intellect, 2,334 SP, and 519 points of secondary stats
As you can see, you get a little bit more bang for your buck with a two-handed staff than with a main-hand plus an off-hand. But that’s before enchanting. When you’ve got an off-hand frill equipped, you can use the Superior Intellect enchant to add another 40 intellect to your total.
So which is better? Well, they’re both pretty similar, but if you’re absolutely obsessed about the most marginal of gains (and again, our research shows my audience can’t get enough of marginal gains), then your best route in general is going to be to have a main-hand weapon plus an off-hand.
