Target ilvl 334 Updated: 2026-10-16
Archon anchors this Shadow Priest best-in-slot page, built to a 334 item level target from what the top Mythic raid parses on WarcraftLogs actually wear, slot by slot, next to a separate Mythic+ column rather than any simulated output. Mastery leads the raid secondary-stat split at 39.9%, ahead of haste at 30.5%, critical strike at 26.3%, and versatility at just 3.3%. The neck is the standout number on this page: the Aqirbane Reliquary is worn by 95.2% of top parses, leaving the Bound Serpent's Jade Eye at a mere 1.1%, the widest neck gap tracked on any page built this way. Five slots favour a different top pick in Mythic+ than the raid column does, and Murder Row supplies three of them on its own: the Signet of Snarling Servitude covers both rings at 23.2% over the Sickening Signet of Atroxus's 20.5%, the Freightrunner's Flask leads both trinket slots at 39.9% against the Gebbo's Bottomless Bag's 32.0%, and the Speakeasy Shroud takes the back at 24.5% over the Silken Voodoo Drape's 17.5%. The main hand shows no listed runner-up at all — Jan'thrazet, the Soul Fang, is worn by 74.5% of top parses outright. Crafted gear still covers waist (55.6%), wrist (57.8%), and off-hand, where the Aln'hara Lantern leads at 48.6% over the Spine of the Hissing Abyss's 32.8%. The Venomous Abyss supplies six of the tracked pieces, with Murder Row contributing five, three crafted items, and one each from Kings' Rest and Ruby Life Pools. With the neck this dominant, it is close to a mandatory target rather than an optional pickup. The off-hand is worth a second look if your own drops land near the runner-up's 32.8%, since it is the closest raid-versus-crafted race on the page outside the feet slot's 24.5% to 19.9% split. Waist and wrist can be solved through crafted recipes without a raid or dungeon drop at all. For the head, shoulder, chest, and hands rows, where the top pick shows no usage share of its own, compare item level against your current gear before assuming it is an automatic upgrade.

Crafted gear can carry an embellishment, and a character can only wear 2 of those at once. This list has 3 crafted pieces — pick the two with the highest usage below.

Tier Set Conversion

5 slots Click to expandCollapse

Tier pieces do not drop. Bosses drop a filler for the same slot; you convert it and the item level stays. Conversion keeps the filler's secondary stats — so picking a filler is really picking stats.

Fit = the filler's two secondaries' share in this spec's top-player stat split ÷ the top two stats' share; below 65% the addon does not count the converted piece as graduated.

Ordered by how often top players wear the tier piece in that slot — that is a pick rate, not item power. A 4-piece bonus only needs four of the five slots, so the lowest one can be skipped.

Share = how top Mythic players split their secondary-stat rating (the four add up to 100%). It is not the percentage on your in-game character sheet - for sheet percentages, open the gear planner and import your character.
