Maintain both Vampiric Touch and Shadow Word: Pain on the target. Storywise, you’ll likely never see a shadow priest LFD, but ingame you will because it would not only kill game balance, it would make zero sense to gimp a race out of a spec.Playstyle & Rotation General Rotation: Outside Voidform priority: You need to split your thinking into two different departments - gameplay and story. Just because they drank some fel blood doesn’t mean they get a magical affinity (remembering that fel is not the opposite of arcane), in the same sense that a priest was given a bow, they wouldn’t just ‘magically’ be able to be proficient with it and then go on to know animal husbandry. Now, with orcs, they can’t be mages because they were never taught magic by the ogres in Draenor, who were very magically inclined (originally - they can, as of cata, be mages - the point is that in cata it’s that they were explicitly taught how to, originally they didn’t know). You’ll not see any actual NPC LFDs as shadow priests, you do in fact see forsaken holy/disc priests because they are established to exist and they make canonical sense (no arguing allowed on this point). The reason that all of the race+class combos you have mentioned can exist is because it would not make sense for a player to be gimped out of playing a spec due to the race. 
If you are using “shadow” magic, I think it’s just to a lesser extent, and you’re tapping into an already established “technique” that uses it (still the void) but to a very lesser extent. I still think that there is a difference: if someone is said to be using “the void” then it’s implied you’re doing it in a kind of “large” scale, where the whispers of the void can affect you. Originally there was a distinction between “void” and “shadow”, but now it’s the same thing. Arcane is natural, whereas fel was created by the clashing of light and void (creating the twisting nether). I guess depending on your interpretation that could be considered an opposite.įel is not the opposite of arcane. Void and light aren’t necessarily opposites, more like two sides of the same coin.
