A raid n00b question since I've not raided pre-BC.

I just took a look at my Spell stats recently and realised that Spell Penetration was zero and the Spell Hit was about 94 (7.45%). A guildmate recommended to get Spell Hit as high as 16% to be effective for raid bosses.

1) For a shadow priest, what should the Spell Hit and Spell Penetration be?

2) Is it possible to achieve 16% with tailored gear, Kara gear and Heroic gear only?

hmm....can u give me the name of a shadow priest with those stats that I can armory?

so far, have only compared against Addict's Hansuke since that's probably the only shadow priest that I know in LYN.

hmmm...checking out a few other shadow priests, looks like it's not easy to hit even 10% hit rating. they seem to be targeting 1.2k spell damage first and only then tackling the hit rating.

qua : okie dokie.

postboy : ta. time to find better gems. as well as better gear. planning to aim for spellstrike set after i get my chest piece done. will probably take awhile urgh.

flush : hee hee...i can understand that. my spell hit is nothing to brag about either but my spell damage needs quite a bit of boosting. need to slot my red gems in. getting broke a bit as lazy to do quests now.

nVidiaFX : cheers.

flush, how's this build with Shadow Focus max out? The last point, i just put into Focused Mind as no idea where to put it.

I also took blackout for PvP a bit but left out the crits for Shadow Power.

Thanks khelben. Going to try and test it out a bit then. Currently, the pants I'm wearing are the Trial-Fire ones that drop from Opera Event. Haven't started on Spellstrike set yet but will do soonest.

Hmm..is there any interactive website that allows one to test the build of a cloth + talent + gemslots?

how's thing now? although there's one point into Silent Resolve.

phew. learning ain't easy.

bleargh, i need your armory link. playing with limited talent points per tier is excrutiating. the final i could play around with was this one :

but it involved deducting points from Blackout and maxing out Darkness.

so, after your gruul, post up a good build please. my head is already aching.

ta cityman. night shift again? hee hee....
and thanks for the website link. forgot about that site.

although they mention a lower hit rating than 16%. i'm not sure but i get the feeling that they're now using 8% with the spell hit rating to be 76 with Shadow Focus 5/5 talent. http://www.shadowpriest.com/viewtopic.php?t=3384

one of the postings in that forum is also on the curator fight. differnet school's of thought. some go full out on astral flares. others are just focusing on curator. atm, aside from the initial SW:P, VE and VT on curator, i then help out on the flares coz it's hard for the melee to bring everyone of them down. however, becoz of the short range of MF, i'm standing always in front of the flare and always next to melee that i usually get blasted quick badly during the fight. what do the other shadowpriest do during Curator's fight? On Curator or flares?

hmm...are the numbers derived based on calculation though? or does the character sheet values do not take into account talent bonus? because i have full shadow focus now and on character sheet is 101 hit rating showing 8%?

errr, believe me, it was unintentional. lol! it's like the gear on the left hand side of the character sheet are blues whereas the right hand side of the character sheet is full epics. i was gearing up on spell damage and coincidently, spell hit was also on those items.

now just need to motivate myself to farm the spellstrike set and get 2 primal nethers.
