Crit is the new Black? A Shadow Priest Raiding Compendium.

**A majority of my information came from numerous posts on Elitist Jerks, Shadowpriest.com, comment feedback and personal experience raiding as a Shadowpriest in WOTLK. I encourage feedback and suggestions via comments so I can edit the post and correct errors, etc.**

Shadowpriest Trinket Dilemma LF Halp.

I have a Netherweave Bag in my bank full of trinkets. FULL!
With the recent change to Shadowform giving a damage bonus to our DoTs based on our crit % AND the spellpower proc from Glyph of Shadow, is it more beneficial to use trinkets that have a passive spellpower bonus with a weaker push-to-use feature [...]

Shananigansagains

There is light in the darkness..

Blogroll Updates

I’ve been a WoW blogger for about year now (over 3 different blogs) and have built quite the collection of blog bookmarks. When I started Fear.Win, I wanted to keep the content as close to being Warlock or Shadowpriest related as possible so I avoided including anything on my blogroll that wasn’t like minded.

Alt-itis

Being a guild leader can sometimes be very stressful but thats all part of being one. The hardest part is when you have to confront one of your guild members about breaking the rules that you and your officers have set in place.
Yesterday was on of those days..
