This checklist is a bunch of items that Shadow priest should probably try to pickup so that if/when they are called upon to heal, they might actually have a respectable amount of +healing and related stats.
This set assumes you have the gear in my Shadow Gear guide. If an item slot isn’t listed here, its because there is nothing easily attainable thats better that your shadow set piece.
Most of these items are rep rewards, some are crafted items and very few are drops unless its easily farmed. I tried to avoid quest rewards because if you are looking at creating a second set of gear (like me), you’ve probably already done most the quests that had rewards you would want, and undoubtedly sold, or DE’d any useful rewards (like me).
The idea behind this guide is to be able to quickly, and relatively inexpensively build up a gear set for healing. As you raid, and do instances and quests better pieces are likely to come up. When they do, grab them.
So without further Adeu, the list*:
Head
[Watchers Cowl] – 12
& Revered with Cenarion Expedition
You might also want to pickup the [Glyph of Renewal] (100 when revered with Honor Hold, 90 when exalted).
Neck
Shoulders
Don’t forget to throw your factions shoulder enchant on them too.
Back
[Apexis Cloak] – 1
, 50
& Revered with Ogri’la
You’ll want to pair the cloak with [Enchant Cloak - Subtlety].
Chest
[Shroud of Spiritual Purity] – BoE World Drop, IE: Get it at the Auction House or Trade Channel
[Truefaith Vestments] – BoP Tailoring, Pattern is BoE though and drops from Balnazzar in Stratholm. You can either purchase the pattern, or from what I hear, most 70′s can solo this guy.
The best chest enchant you can get if your not spec’d for healing is Enchant Chest – Restore Mana Prime, best part is its cheap.
Wrist
Gloves
[Gloves of Piety] – BoE World Drop, IE: Get it at the Auction House or Trade Channel. Slap on a [Enchant Gloves - Major Healing] too.
Waist
[Belt of the Long Road] – BoE Tailoring, Pattern is BoE too so Check AH/Trade for either of them. Pattern is an instance drop in Serpentshrine Cavern, and The Eye (with bosses having slightly better drop rates). hopefully your running The Eye and SSC.
Legs
[Kamaei's Cerulean Skirt] – BoE World Drop, IE: Get it at the Auction House or Trade Channel.
Dont forget to throw on some [Silver Spellthread] or [Golden Spellthread]
Feet
[Boots of the Long Road] – BoP Tailoring, from a BoE Pattern drop. You can either purchase the pattern, or from what I hear, most 70′s can solo this guy.
[Enchant Boots - Vitality] is your best bet for enchants on your feet.
Rings
[Ring of Convalescence] – 17 59
52
& Revered with Honor Hold
The second ring is going to have to be one of your existing rings or something you get as you go through the game. There aren’t any specific rings that I can recommend that are easily attained.
If your an enchanter, lucky you. Throw [Enchant Ring - Healing Power] on both your rings.
Trinket
Weapons
a 1H weapon, and something held in off-hand is going to be the best for a healer, but if you find its to expensive, or insist on having a staff then grab the [Staff of Divine Infusion] from the AH or trade channel (BoE World Drop).
My recommendation (in order) to two of the following: [Gavel of Pure Light], [The Ancient Scepter of Sue-Min] or [The Essence Focuser]. The latter two are BoE world drops, so check the AH. if the scepter is less than 200g, grab it. I would wait to see the blue item closer to 100g to buy it. The Gavel is a rep reward with Sha’tar (200g).
Then, you put [Enchant Weapon - Spellsurge] on the lessor healing weapon, and [Enchant Weapon - Major Healing] on the greator one. Download and install Caster weapon Swap and you have the best of both worlds, roughly 500 mp5 for a raid group, and large heals.
Off-Hand
[Windcaller's Orb] – 79 1 12 & Exalted with Cenarion Expedition
Wands
Stick with the [Carved Witch Doctor's Stick] until you get a drop with +healing.
*NOTE: Items with a strikethru mean I’ve been able to get it for my priest, or something better (usually listed).
