One point per level from 10 is a planner assumption. Step order is derived from the published allocation, checked for legal prerequisites. The Blizzard Legacy announcement confirms only that Talented can unlock points up to five levels early. Using it requires earned Legacy points and a per-character choice. Blizzard does not confirm the exact schedule or current Beta availability. This comparison does not model points beyond this published route.

PRIEST / PLANNING QUESTION

What happens after the cast?

Compare full pull-and-recovery cycles.

SOLO PRESSUREGROUP SUPPORT

Track kill time together with mana recovery; do not omit the interval between fights.

Measure whether casts land when needed and how much mana remains after a comparable pull.

Mana and recovery windowShadow is the solo comparison route; Discipline is useful to examine wand and support choices. Keep healing gear available if you regularly join groups. A solo allocation and a dedicated healing allocation answer different questions.

BLIZZARD OCTOBER 1 NOTESOfficial

October 1 Beta changes for Priest

Official Beta announcement · Blizzard’s October 1 development notes

Shadow Word: Death no longer always receives the Early Demise bonus regardless of target health.

Discipline Inner Focus no longer adds critical strike chance to periodic effects; Shadow Weaving can no longer fail to apply.

Devouring Plague can now correctly critically strike.

The live Beta level cap is 30. The talent structure was reconciled through 1.60.1.70291; 21-point Level 30 routes are editorial allocations. Rank descriptions retain their separate community transcription evidence, and point-order rules remain derived assumptions.

Shadow: selected talents and trade-offs

Spirit Tap 5/5 and Shadow Focus 5/5 lead to Mind Flay at eleven. Improved Shadow Word: Pain 2/2 and Shadow Reach 2/2 reach fifteen. Vampiric Embrace, Shadow Weaving 3/3 and Improved Mind Blast 1/5 lead to Silence at twenty-one.

Improved Mind Blast is partial, and Improved Mind Flay is unselected. Spirit Tap is conditional on a kill; Vampiric Embrace depends on Shadow damage dealt, and Silence has a specific control window. Those effects do not establish unconditional mana recovery or survivability.

Choose non-trivial targets that survive the selected periodic and channel effects. Record Spirit Tap after its stated kill condition, and compare the later Vampiric Embrace and Silence windows without changing target lifetime or opponent level.

Executable point order

Use the progression to inspect each point from Level 10 to 30. The calculator opens the exact allocation and level. These routes are examples for comparing choices, not a measured damage ranking.
