Shadow Priest helpFollow

Don't forget your PW:S so that you don't get interrupted when casting MF Perhaps that would speed up your kills. You could also throw another MB in once it's off CD to help speed things up.

Killing stuff as a shadow priest is rediculously (yes my spelling sucks, deal with it) easy, IF you picked the right talents. The savior of a low lvl priest, who misses the true power of Mindflay and PW:P (which doesn't really show till lvl 26 with Shadow Weaving and Vampiric Embrace) are 5 talents, not in the shadow tree, but in the Disc tree;

Wand Specialization; 5/5 = 25% more damage with wands

A good wand is all a priest truely needs to lvl like hell.

PW:P > Mindflay > Mind Blast > Wand till death.

Renew every third mob should help with the healing, untill you get Vampiric Embrace

Now, a couple of things;

1) Fear > PW:S
Not always, but often. When the mobs don't agro each other, its cheeper to fear the mob your fighting then to Shield (use Rank 1 Fear though); mobs don't attack you, you waste less mana, etc etc.

2) Spirit > Intelect
Spirit is a must; from lvls 30 > 60, I was able to grind without ever losing more then 50% mana before I logged (sessions of 2-3 hours); Spirit Tap is your best friend. Stock up on Spirit (the chest piece from Gnormeregan is... amazing. + spirit heaven)

3) Groups > Soloing
Your a priest. Priests can heal; EVEN shadow priests. Use it; the xp groups give in instances is way better then soloing (most of the time, anyway) and the gear you get helps.

Have fun lvling a shadowpriest, their awesome, and good fun. Just remeber; Shadow Priests can heal; don't waste bandages! Instead, give them to poor warriors!

I really need to invest those points into wands too. My SP is only 38, and I usually find myself drinking every 2 mobs which is poor for grinding.
