[@jamiebuyers]

Nice gonna give this a go. One question tho, since you want this all to line up with your stun silence thats 45s cd, wouldnt it be better to drop malediction to have void torrent just be its baseline 45s to match your cc and use the point elsewhere as i can see me wanting to sit on void torrent when i know the healer doesnt have a trinket to stop the go? Plus you can pick up mindbender and smooth out your insanity regen as it will be up close to the time due to the initial ramp as well as voidwraith might be also good for initial presure?

[@ericpatterson906]

I completely agree with you. Gladiator SP, and I’ve played a lot of shuffle and arena. VW is def better and more free in shuffle and any 3s comp not caster. Archon is so telegraphed too. VW also does meaningful dmg. And Halo is pad. Preach Boni!

[@KingJerbear]

"I don't think Warlock has Soul Leech, I think they lost it," mere seconds after he shows us a Warlock dominating his HPS with Soul Leech xD I've never played Priest, have never tried PvP, and I still really enjoyed the video. Fun to hear people who are passionate about their spec talk about it.

[@rabee53]

Void leech was trash on beta unless they changed it. I remember it was taking 3% health from your team members and healing you for less because it was reduced by dampening.😂

[@Terror1Void]

I really wish it took health from enemies and not allies. Thematically it makes so much better sense.

The same about arcane spellslinger! I never saw any other player but me playing spellslinger. It's so fun procking orbs, having a dot or a automatic skill that deal 200k dmg behind walls or out of range

[@melaok]

Should we cast shadow word death during the burst window as well or not worth it?

[@AnotherCrazyClown]

I was playing with insidious ire while in last season of df to try pump more dmg from mind blast and without it did 100k max and with insidious ire it magically goes to 500k even so i haven't tried spriest yet but if i have the chance i'll try to commit to void blast with insidious ire, i'm sure it can do good dmg but it sucks i have to max out every buff possible while the rest can do dps mindlessly lol

[@mrvetiver5587]

Anboni, the hero we need AND deserve

[@Uhidontknow96]

You think mind blast damage is bad? Look at enhancement shaman’s stormstrike, 144k (pre 17th buff, 168k now) as a 633 shaman

[@mistakai4226]

That's sad. This came about because they balance the entire damage profile instead of the individual abilities. Each ability used to be balanced against other abilities by cast time and cooldown.

[@LordKronsell]

Ayee its the most handsome shadow priest around! ^_^

[@robs6404]

He's looking more handsome than before (if that was even possible)

[@Yippaah]

I agree. I tested out Archon initially but got curious and tested voidweaver. I like it much better but I tried a different set of talents. I will def try yours out. Also agree on the momentum part. It's so tough as SP to get everything going as you just instantly get charged and tunneled while we cast cast cast. Btw you say void form is useless but it gives us a 10% dmg bonus which is nice imo. Void torrent while being able to move is another reason I prefer voidweaver. I'd wish mindblast but also SW:Death did some more dmg. It's so weak as a "execute" it's pathetic

[@heroman1322]

I usually trust him more but some of this advice is from too much copium huffing 😂

[@domzaeWoW]

You actually don't get 10% damage, because you lose Shadowform (which is also a 10% damage buff)

[@Yippaah]

@@domzaeWoW right, didn't know that, thanks

[@ben_ger1988]

why dont we play mindbender, isnt that really good because of the low cd?

[@logan1021]

So is using void form in raids and mythic plus worth it or is dark ascension better lol

[@tworadon]

If you say Void Form doesn't do anything and the first problem is always ramp time - Dark Ascension gives 30 insanity, which ramps you much faster than nothing.

[@zachyang3816]

what the pvp gear that gives you proc?

[@polybius9089]

3:01 that's true, that's pure bullshit. Like, how can Enhancement Shamans be able to deal 3+ million damage with one Lightning Bolt that can be INSTANT, and without cooldown? And I don't play the expansion... but from what I saw on Twitch and KZbin, they spam that ability like crazy! ... but Mind Blast has an 8 second CD, with 2 charges, can also be sometimes insta-cast - but deals only that much damage? It's ridiculous.

[@roostre5254]

Yet enhancement shamans are much worse than shadow priests...hmmm

How is it harder than Voidweaver to keep mobile? You either bet on casting mind flay insanity or you cast void blast. Both specs have mobility problems.

I know this is pvp video, but after recent buffs i think even in pve void is now better overall...Maybe only in M+ (high keys) archon is better

[@Cheezusbaby]

I will try this

[@heroman1322]

You can tell me Voidweaver is better when it gets more damage for PvP. My Archon loadout usually brings me near top dps on average and outperforms Voidweaver. Sure we have mind flay insanity, but having someone run away from my floaty void disk happens WAAY more than my mind flay insanity getting interrupted. I will play it when we get some damage buffs to compensate for how easy some classes can avoid the damage.

[@princessmagilou]

I guess archon is the way to go in bgs, and voidweaver in arenas against melees, they usually dont run from the rift too

[@heroman1322]

@@princessmagilouEven in single target, Archon has higher single target dps. Voidweaver has more burst and more windows of damage than Archon. They are both viable in different situations. For example.. Archon is waay better against MM hunter than voidweaver is, but Voidweaver is nice for peeling for healers. You even prove my point in a way. People shouldn’t feel comfortable sitting in the void. It needs a debuff or a damage boost.

@@videofabriken you're talking about 10% more damage to mind blast and shadow word: death. Those abilities deal about 3% of someone's health bar.

610 ilvl, Archon doing 1.5m dps burst for the first 20 seconds dropping to 800k dps, meanwhile Voidweaver is doing 800+k burst before dropping to 500k dps... Voidweaver only shines for PvP due to mobile void torrent or rift causing slow effect.

I've been saying this. Archon is trash outside the meme MF:I. You do no damage in-between the minute long halo cd. VW is every 30 seconds, has better burst. I switch between void leech and embrace the shadow depending on environment. Delves/instanced pvp I leech. World pvp I use embrace because I will likely run into a lock/dk so that 3 percent absorb + heal matters.
