Priest Talent Build: Soloing with Shadow

This is a Shadow soloing build that is good for leveling, farming, or just soloing for whatever reason, with a Shadow priest. This build could pass for a grouping build, if you instance on occasion, but I wouldn't recommend it for PvPing since it lacks certain vital PvP talent points. The build contains 5 points from the Discipline tree, 0 points from the Holy tree, and 66 points from the Shadow tree.

The build is heavily set in the Shadow tree with a focus on talents that are beneficial while soloing. Some of the most vital (and perhaps most obvious) talents picked in this build are Shadowform (because you're shadow!), Spirit Tap (which increases mana regen after killing a mob), and Mind Flay (damages and slows targets). Twin Disciplines is picked from the Discipline tree to finish off the build with increased damage done by instant cast damage spells.
