Welcome to our World of Warcraft Classic Shadow Priest Build, this Talent Spec Guide was built for PVP Battlegrounds and as such will affect what race you should use. It also affects what Gear Stats we think you should prioritize over others, and as you might expect the Talent Build is built for Player versus Player situations.
Shadow Priest Best Race
Picking the best race for the priest is difficult since this class gets unique spells based on its race, these affect how we rank the best drastically. For Horde for sure if you are going shadow you will want Undead, and Alliance can choose between Humans and Dwarves. With PVP in mind, we think Dwarves have an edge of humans, but they are both good choices so either will work.
- Best –
Undead, 
Humans, 
Dwarves - Average –
Night Elf, 
Troll - Weak –
- Not Available –
Tauren, 
Gnome, 
Orc
