Need some 1v1 help (Shadow Priest)

I need some tips and advice in dealing with certain 1v1 situations

The classes I have the most trouble with are:

Unholy DK
Survival Hunter
Fury Warrior
Rogues
Demon Hunters

Any tips and advice is appreciated. I’m mostly having issues with CD trading. I’m not really sure which of my CDs I should use when they use theirs.

Shadow’s one of those specs that seems to fall over if you use CDs carelessly

For DK (and im sure DH/Fury are the same) fear, pop your dispersion/fade thing and run to your allies.

What are you using in the level 30 talent row?

I just started playing my spriest at 450 ilvl.

Dispersion talent in that row, so when low health and say, rogue kidneys, pop it for health and defense.

Make sure you’re fading preemptively when they are going to stun.

Try to juke, and then cast, if you get kicked shield and then cast.

Fury can zerk your fear, so that’s tough.

Use VE right when voidform starts.

Also mindbender.

Good melee are going to be tough, but if you can bait a kick, or fade the right things and disperse heal, VE, you can beat them.

Also rogues and sv are phenomenal 1v1 anyway. Unholy pretty damn good too.

They’re is probably better advice somewhere else (like slenderman).

I’ve also been using breath essence (I only have 2 rank 3s rest are green). So I open with that and try and save it for execute range.

Forgot to add, you can use mc to create distance and bait trinkets.

This is said spriest ^

Panda just for my man JD.

(Although quaking palm ain’t too bad itself).

I’ve just been doing yolo twos for fun so that’s where I’m getting most of this from btw.

I’ve been testing apparitions vs sw:d but I can’t say anything yet.

I try to use VF if I need to kite and if their kick is up just void bolt and mb on proc with sw:p spam in between to avoid getting locked.

Priest forums can probably help more with better spriests than my sorry a
