Shadow Priest Stat Priority

The secondary stat priority for Shadow Priest in Midnight, aggregated from real Mythic raid and Mythic+ logs on WarcraftLogs. Higher percentage = the stat top players itemize more of. Use it to pick gear, gems, and enchants.

This page shows the secondary-stat priority for Shadow Priest, derived from the actual secondary-stat distribution worn by top Mythic raid and Mythic+ parses (share of secondary rating), not from simulation weights. The data was updated on 2026-09-03. In raid, top players favor Mastery (40.2%) over Haste (30.2%) and Critical Strike (26.6%), with Versatility lagging at 3.0%. The resulting priority is Mastery > Haste > Crit > Vers. In Mythic+, the pattern shifts slightly: Mastery remains highest at 37.8%, but Haste rises to 35.8%, narrowing the gap, while Crit drops to 24.8% and Versatility is minimal at 1.6%. This suggests that for Mythic+ content, Haste becomes nearly as important as Mastery for top performers. To use this table, treat the percentages as a snapshot of what the best players are wearing, not as a strict rule. If your gear has a lot of Versatility, consider replacing it with Mastery or Haste, especially for Mythic+. However, always sim your own character to confirm, as these numbers reflect aggregate trends, not your specific setup.

These weights reflect how the current top Shadow Priest players actually gear, not a fixed stat weight. They shift slightly between raid and Mythic+ — in M+ you'll often value a bit more survivability/versatility. Always hit your required ratings and your spec's breakpoints first; treat this as the tiebreaker when choosing between similar item levels.
