Client data and build assumptions

Client-table preview: positions, rank caps and spell IDs are checked against build 1.60.1.69913. These readable tables may retain legacy layout. Five points per tier, full-rank prerequisites and the 11-point Level 20 budget are planning assumptions, not proof of final live Beta rules. Missing rank text stays unknown.

Solo spell pressure

  • Spirit Tap begins the route. Improved Shadow Word: Pain and Shadow Focus complete the first ten points, then Mind Flay becomes available in the planner.
  • Track kill time together with mana recovery; do not omit the interval between fights.

Why these Shadow talents

Spirit Tap begins the route. Improved Shadow Word: Pain and Shadow Focus complete the first ten points, then Mind Flay becomes available in the planner.

You are investing away from Holy healing and Discipline support. That matters when a group expects you to heal repeatedly rather than contribute solo damage.

Exact point order

Spirit Tap 5 → Improved Shadow Word: Pain 2 → Shadow Focus 3 → Mind Flay 1

Load the allocation to inspect each selected talent. The order and spend are editorial; readable client fields do not prove that the route is optimal.

How to evaluate this route

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

Spend the early points before comparing longer spell sequences. Time your tests from the start of a pull until you are ready for the next one, so recovery remains part of leveling pace.
