Shadow Priest M+ 10.1 | Goodbye Mind Sear

[@andyvanderbeken3729]

I so appreciate you sharing everything like gear, talent build, cast order, etc... really helping

[@sjgaming172]

I just feel like there is something missing now 😢 I’m sure I’ll get use to it though

[@skimmynz]

Until Shadow gets reworked again 🤣

[@GatesTV]

[@Elias.vazquez]

buenas amigo exelente, consulta no usas el que te da mas demencia?

[@alal726]

Hi, nice video. For weeks of tyrannical that Build do you recommend?

[@skimmynz]

Yeah this build works well, good mix of everything

[@alal726]

@@skimmynz okok thx

[@Nonamed70]

i feel like shadow is way better outside of their cooldowns now, feels very good to just maintain damage on a boss without VE or DA on and still pump damage. And in cooldowns its arguably even more fun for me now, ngl I love the rework, was worried but am glad I stuck around for season 2 and didnt swap mains

[@skimmynz]

Yeah I'm enjoying it too, curious to see what kind of builds pop up as the season continues

[@inexistent3rdchimera673]

on top as always! btw could you share your updated WA for 10.1?

[@skimmynz]

Will do once Season 2 launches. Waiting for existing WAs to be updated and try out new ones.

[@inexistent3rdchimera673]

@@skimmynz thanks, I've tried a lot of WA for spriest during S1 but yours is something else. I can't play without it :)

[@praedonius9693]

What is the interrupt addon mate?

[@skimmynz]

OmniCD

[@alsh8597]

how come u prio mindblast over the mindspike proccs'? feels like you are not mindspikeing at all

[@sousou-ij8qw]

You know that feeling when something is missing in your life? That's 10.1 shadow, mind sear was cool to press XD

[@mnm96]

What is your interrupt tracker

[@skimmynz]

OmniCD

[@guccigang9881]

whats the addon thats showing quaking timer?

[@jialbanc]

Nice video!!. It is better to cast DP in different targets on aoe damage?

[@skimmynz]

Only if you're using the Distorted Reality talent and the mob will live long enough

[@praedonius9693]

you don't use bigwigs/dbm for mythic?

[@skimmynz]

Using Bigwigs/Littlewigs

[@andrewsoulis3400]

what Weak au ra are you using for shadow mate?

[@skimmynz]

Got them linked in the description for ya

[@Koenigg99]

I’ve noticed that I am doing more dmg than before, but there's also more periods of downtime where I can't press anything except mind spike?

[@skimmynz]

Noticed the same, less spells and procs now

[@zereus13]

Are your spriest weakauras a default set? If so do you mind linking?

[@skimmynz]

Linked in description

[@luttys]

Yoyo, wanna ask how difficult shadow priest is? I am thinking about having him as an alt :)

[@skimmynz]

The rework simplified it, last patch was one of the harder specs to play well. It's rewarding when it all starts to click.

[@tesstchannel1256]

Does shadow priest need to ramp its dps? Like does it do more damage when the pulls have bigger health pulls ? I’m doing like 10-14 right now on the new season and before I can get started packs are dead. My damage looks terrible lol.. I’m 417 with 29% haste and on the aoe dummies I can only cap out at 180k then maintain 175k

[@skimmynz]

Yeah that's to be expected. You need time to setup dots, build insanity and then use cooldowns. In higher keys with bigger pulls, Spriest excels!

[@MrXavierwalls]

I wish Torrent would benefit from Haste (PI) and mind spike could still proc instant cast. Otherwise spec feels good.

[@skimmynz]

Yeah feels quite punishing now when you have to move. Would love to see us have another way to extend dots without Void Form too.

[@rosing2110]

Hey man, nice vid. Noticed u are playing Mind's eye over Disoriented Reality. Could u share your opinion on this? I feel kinda torned between the two. See ppl play both

[@skimmynz]

Thanks mate. Need to experiment more with that talent choice. Mind's Eye you keep reapplying to a single priority target whereas Distorted Reality can be cast on as many targets as possible that will live for the duration.

[@xavier9695]

Do you know why every top Shadow Priest seems to be going night elf?

[@skimmynz]

Shadowmeld op, can cheese mechanics

[@zRedEye.]

do you think shadow is easier to play now? and when do you use mind spike ? I saw you didn't use the big pulls

[@skimmynz]

Yeah, been simplified alot. Spike/Flay is a filler spell that has the lowest priority. Seems Mind Spike Insanity is best used when Mind Blast and Void Torrent are on CD.

[@zRedEye.]

@@skimmynz thx

[@HenningKilset76]

I really like the rework. But aren't you missing out on a lot of dps by letting Mind Spike Insanity linger so much and doing DP on top of it?

[@skimmynz]

Not sure, was focussed on DP uptime for mastery

[@alsh8597]

feels like you use mindspike as a filler regardless of proccs?

[@qooxz9195]

when you prioritize mind spike and mind blast?

[@skimmynz]

Mind Blast > Mind Spike. Spike is a filler spell when better choices are on cooldown.

[@Jacar91]

Even when it’s empowered?

[@SirAdaminski]

@@Jacar91 yes, never let mind blast be above 1 charge. if all else is on cd, use mind spike

[@HenningKilset76]

@@skimmynz Mind Spike Insanity has higher DPS than mind blast though? Or is the cast time too long?

[@skimmynz]

@@HenningKilset76 You don't want to be capped on MB charges

[@cmr8981]

you think skovald is better than gem?, i have both and eye has better ilvl but it takes a lot of intellect from me (i sim better with it though) but its weird af

[@skimmynz]

Yeah I have a 415 gem, depends on dungeon/affixes - sometimes the DPS difference is really small, other times Gem pulls really far ahead.

[@asasdsaasda]

Hey skimmynz, dumb question, how many globals do you fit between each VB? 3 or 2, worth delaying an ability or hit VB on exactly GCD or its a dps lose and just fit 3 abilities between globals

[@skimmynz]

Void Bolt > 2 Globals > Void Bolt. You wanna cast it as many times as possible for dot extensions and then DP for void form extension.

[@asasdsaasda]

@@skimmynz i see thank you, i was reading IV guide on the opener and it say 3 gcd, but i notice that most of the time you can go with 2, that confused me

[@hadikarimi6296]

Goodbye mind sear means goodbye burst

[@NehezTheWrackful]

I think I am too old for that game nowdays...so many stuff to press and track xDDD.

[@a.g.9360]

poor ele xD

[@anthonysteinerv]

Personally, I think that Mind Devourer might be better than phantasmal pathogen, plus now I feel like Cthun does useless dmg, which I hate because its my fav talent.

[@jessewiley858]

You should personally look at sims instead of having a feeling , and cthun damage is good + gives you insanity to pump more dps
