I'm curious as to the thinking behind the Shadow Priest talent build path. For some odd reason it is set up to put points in talents long before the abilities for those talents are available while ignoring talents that are not only useful but essential to a good Shadow build.
One issue is the 2 points in Devouring Plague some levels before actually getting the skill...which I can kind of see since you get the DevPlague right after putting the points in the talent. It wold seem that those points would be better used in Improved Mind Blast.
More importantly is the guide trying to put 2 points into a talent that is simply not needed until level 66 when your character is only level 29. Veiled Shadows reduces the cooldown on our threat dump, Fade, which isn't needed by a questing character and lowers the CD on Shadowfiend which doesn't become available to the character until level 66.
The most important talent for a level 29 Shadow Priest with 10 pts in talents is Shadowform, and yet the guide doesn't have us taking that for a couple of more levels.
Needless to say I've deviated from the guide which is odd because they are normally spot on when it comes to builds. I believe the Shadow build needs revamping.
