Hi guys,

Not sure if this has been asked. But I'm wanting to do up a Shadow Priest. I was thinking of going Drenai or Human. Drenai because for some reason, they just are appealing to me. Human because the quests are pretty easily laid out. What I was wondering is what is an optimal build to last me till 70? I plan on soloing a lot of it and doing instances, but mainly soloing as that's my fav.

Also, perhaps you could also show me a good spell or attack rotation through the early years. Thanks in advance and looking forward to playing.

First of all, if you're going to play an alliance Shadow Priest, play a Draenei, the racials are much more useful for Shadow.  A Human does make the best Holy Priest, though.

As for builds and spell rotations, I'm not a Shadow Priest, so my experience is limited, but shadowpriest.com is an excellent resource that all of the good Shadow Priests I know swear by.
