Priest · DPS
Shadow Priest rotation assistant for World of Warcraft
Dots kept alive on everything, Voidform entered when it will run long.
Rice Rotations reads your Shadow Priest from the game picture, decides which ability comes next, and presses the key for it from a second PC or a virtual machine. It runs on World of Warcraft Midnight retail and on Mists of Pandaria Classic, and the profile is included in the same subscription as the other thirty-nine specializations.
How the Shadow Priest profile plays
Shadow is dot uptime plus Insanity. Rice keeps Shadow Word: Pain and Vampiric Touch from falling off, spends Insanity on Devouring Plague before capping, and keeps Mind Blast and the filler channel running so Insanity never stalls while you are moving.
DPS is about never wasting a global. Rice keeps your builder and spender priority correct through procs and haste changes, lines burst cooldowns up with the window they are meant for, and switches to the multi-target priority when the pull is actually stacked rather than when a timer says so.
The profile reacts to the pull instead of replaying a fixed list: interrupts fire on casts that matter, dispels go out when a debuff lands, and cooldowns are held for the burst window rather than used the moment they come up. Dozens of Shadow Priest settings decide how aggressive or how conservative that behaviour is, so a raid night and a Mythic+ push can use different profiles of the same spec.
Cooldowns and burst windows
Void Eruption or Dark Ascension is opened with dots out and Insanity banked, Shadowfiend or Mindbender is used inside that window, and Power Infusion goes where the group gets the most from it.
What the Shadow Priest rotation handles
- Shadow Word: Pain and Vampiric Touch upkeep across targets
- Insanity spent on Devouring Plague before capping
- Voidform windows opened with dots already out
- Silence on interrupts, Dispel Magic and Dispersion when needed
Raid, Mythic+ and the rest
Single target guards dot quality and Voidform uptime. On packs it spreads dots, uses Mind Sear and Shadow Crash for cleave, and holds the big window for the pull that lives long enough to pay for the ramp.
Raid nights, Mythic+ keystones, delves, world content and levelling alts. Rice Rotations is built and tuned for PvE, so there are no arena or battleground profiles. The desktop client is Windows only.
Setup and safety
Nothing is attached to the game: there is no injection, no memory reading and no unlocker. Rice runs on a second PC or a virtual machine, reads your gaming PC as a video stream and sends keystrokes back, so the machine running World of Warcraft only ever sees keyboard input arriving.
- Built and tuned for PvE. No arena or battleground profiles.
- Midnight retail is supported.
- Classic is Mists of Pandaria only, so no Era, no Wrath, no other ruleset.
Shadow Priest questions
- Does it keep dots up on multiple targets?
- Yes, multi target dot maintenance is exactly the kind of bookkeeping that is lost by hand during a big pull and kept by a profile.
- Does the ramp matter for Shadow?
- It does, and the profile treats the window as something to set up: dots first, Insanity banked, then the burst.
