Obviously VE can be simply removed out of it, some guilds use it, some don't. with better gearģ) Vampiric Touch > Shadow Word: Pain > Vampiric Embrace > Mind Blast > Shadow Word: Death > Mind Flay. basic, mana-efficientĢ) Vampiric Touch > Shadow Word: Pain > Vampiric Embrace > Mind Blast > Mind Flay > Mind Flay. That being said, it is true that there are more spell rotations, which depend of the encounter and/or gear.ġ) Vampiric Touch > Shadow Word: Pain > Vampiric Embrace > Mind Flay. When did shadow priests have a spell rotation? You are either being sarcastic or not a good shadow priest. Shadow word eath has a 1,5 second cast? Since when? My question, for a third time, is show this to be true. That is (was) the entire joy of SP raiding, manipulation of all the elements to absolutely maximise DPS and regen. Yes it scales worse with haste, same as Mind blast, but it will still be a long time before flay is higher DPS.įinally, when did shadow priests have a spell rotation? Why is it needed? Use the most efficient and most damaging spell at the correct moment.

Shadow word death: 750-870 dmg in a 1.5 second cast. We will always be using touch in my humble opinion. Yes they scale differently - but implying that flay is ever more DPS seems farcical. Show me a reason that Flay out performs VT.

We now gain more from Intellect than we do Spirit and we are now removing spells from our rotation and making ourselves into a 2 button class. and yes, this is why so many people are bitching about Shadow Priests not being that great. So if you are able to get away from needing the replenishment buff for your group/raid, do so.

Clipping Mind Flay to re-cast Touch is going to cost you DPS. Use Touch if it is needed for raid utility. Ofcourse, after you put out your pain and embrace if needed. but I should be able to fill 6 slots without wasting one on cheaper fade 'just cause it is better than nothing'.īecause it ruins your spell rotation and the bonus you get by adding SW eath into your rotation is very minor and not worth the time invested in using it. Those are just random ideas to show that there is plenty that would be doable. Maybe even a glyph to make shadowform cheaper (penalising switching out less). How about an AoE glyph? A glyph for dispersion (giving it PvE viability would be good). I can only hope options are added, cause this is pretty poor. The shadowfiend one you'll take if nothing else is about I guess.

I do not see how blizz will fix this, glyphs were supposed to give variation and choice, out of 6 slots we can just about fill 3 (who doesn't want a free levitate?).

Coincidentally I was looking at the page of them and coming to the exact same conclusion as I did so. Shadow word death doing more damage is good. I was asked to sit out on a certain boss in MH for the first couple of kills because my range was too low to avoid AoE.Ĭourse it was survivable - but given the choice I would love the 10 feet. Maybe Mind Flay, but i don't really care about the 10 feet in a raid.
