Shadow Priest · Mythic+

Curated for Mythic+ — Shadow Crash multi-DoT application on grouped mobs, Void Eruption burst on priority targets, and Mindgames for interrupt-heavy caster packs. Reviewed 28 Jun 2026.

Talent Builds

Using this build

Pull Burst

Archon

Perfected Form amplifies your burst window at the start of each pull — the natural rhythm of M+ pulls aligns with Archon's cooldown profile better than Voidweaver's sustained output.

Sustained AoE

Voidweaver

Better for longer sustained M+ pulls where Entropic Rift has time to tick through the full window — primarily relevant on large, extended packs.

Custom build

Record your own talent build alongside your addons — it's included when you share your setup. Get a talent string from the Wowhead talent calculator or export directly from the in-game talent tree (press N → share icon). Paste the URL or the raw string — both work.

Addons

Why no WeakAuras? Midnight's API blocks WeakAuras from reading your buffs and cooldowns. The addons here cover what it used to handle.

Works in Midnight Updated 20 May 2026

For Shadow Priest, knowing when a forced movement window or priority interrupt is coming lets you hold Dark Ascension for the right moment rather than burning it into a mechanic. LittleWigs is required for dungeon boss modules — install both.

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

For Shadow Priest, where Voidform and Insanity management demand focus, the alarm catches ground effects you might miss while tracking your resource and DoT windows.

TargetedSpells

M+ Targeted casts

Works in Midnight Updated 2 May 2026

Visual and audio alert when a dangerous ability targets you specifically, giving you the reaction window to pop Dispersion before the hit rather than reacting after taking damage. In higher keys, distinguishing targeted abilities from AoE is what separates surviving the pull from dying on cloth.

Power Infusion

33.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 27 Feb 2026

Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — for Shadow Priest, most valuable for Power Infusion coordination, showing when PI is on cooldown on other Priests so you don't double-buff the same target. In M+, also tracks group kicks so you can see whether Silence is genuinely needed or the cast is already covered.

Dark Ascension

Works in Midnight Updated 22 Apr 2026

Configurable timers for your major cooldowns on screen. Groups your primary burst window — Voidform or Dark Ascension — with Power Infusion at the top so you can see whether both are available, and adds an audio cue for Dispersion since it's genuinely forgotten while managing Insanity and refreshing DoTs.
