First I want to say I'm not a 2000+ arena player, however I am fairly expirenced in arenas and have finally settled on a build I like.

My build: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Disc Tree - 17
5pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I feel this is much better than Wand Specialization for Tier 1

2pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

More health ftw

2pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

This is extremely useful when a pesky rogue/warr/huntard is critting you and you need to dps or offheal.

2pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and 3pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

This is more of a personal preference, however you may prefer 5pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] to reduce the chance your DoTs will be dispelled..

1pt in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

This is useful for [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] or [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

2pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

More of a defensive talent, but mana burn w/o it sucks.

Shadow Tree - 44
5pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Useful, and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] is more of a pve talent.

2pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Longer Duration = More dmg.

3pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Filler to get to Tier 3, more useful than other talents.. imo

2pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Less CD means more CC. Not to mention it's needed for Silence.

2pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Less CD means more CC...

1pt in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Very useful after fear, keeps those rogues/warrs away for a bit longer; keeps huntards from running too far.

2pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Helps with the low range of Mind Flay, ensures you can still do dmg and apply DoTs as far as other pvp casters.

5pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

More of a personal preference, I like to have as many dots on a target as possible.. not to mention this helps the lock on my 3v3

1pt in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Essential for CC

1pt in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Don't be selfish... heal yourself and others while you're in shadowform

3pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

As a pvp spriest, your mana pool will be much smaller than a pve toon.. so the less mana you need to use the better...

5pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

More dmg ftw

1pt in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

More dmg ftw, and it looks cool

5pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

A lot of high rated spriests skip this talent all together.. but since my arena ratings are still 1550~1650 I am still able to crit the undergeared noobs. Personal preference.

5pts in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Does not require a stack like Shadow Weaving, thus is usually more attractive.

1pt in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Help yourself and your team out, return mana as you pwn.

That's my build and explanation.. you should change it to fit your play style. if my guide helped

Personally, I have found shadow power rather useless at higher pvp levels. When most people are rocking 425+ res it is nearly a waste of points. Also, my pvp gear has almost no hit, so I always max out Shadow Focus and Silent Resolve saves me more mana than Absolution in the long run, guaranteed.

P.S: My fort is debuffed almost instantly every fight so I need no point in wasting 2 points into it.
