in recent discoveries i made shadow priest below 2k doesn't mass dispel their healers out of CC


What can mass dispel do to get a healer out of a CC that a normal dispel couldn't accomplish? Can you mass dispel a cyclone or something?


Are you serious? The difference being that you are shadow and not the healer.

You can dispel any magic cc's. No other class can do that barring warlock with imp.

Healer gets hoj'd/repped you dispel it. He gets trapped you dispel it. It is incredibly powerful.

Shadow Priest lost their defensive dispel during Cataclysm. You can , now , only remove magical CC from your healer by using Mass Dispel.


Good to know... I can't believe I didn't know something as important as that.

Yeah I guess I just didn't realize that my normal dispel doesn't remove magic effects if I'm in shadow spec. Definitely a HUGE flaw in my current gameplay. I'm so glad I made this thread as this fact alone will help me immensely.

Yeah bro.. When that mellee gets on you, juke a smite or holy fire...and yeah, Spam mindspike to remove current dots, this rogue knows his stuff.


Actually I do.

I am not the one thats sub 1700.

The dps loss from juking isnt worth it when you can mindspike while locked out of shadow tree.

Spriests arent a dot based class like warlocks are.

Wait... you can mindspike while locked out of the shadow tree? Isn't mindspike a shadow spell?

Mindspike is Shadowfrost damage, any damaging spell that is 2 affinities can be cast when 1 school is interrupted.

Meaning, mind flay gets pummeled you can free cast spikes. Same goes for mages, if frostbolt gets pummeled they can free cast frostfire bolt (lol). Although the downside of that is, if mindspike gets interrupted than you cannot cast from either school.

Are you serious? So much for thier we're going back to roleplay/rules to the game blah.

Yes I'm serious. Also Boomkin will be able to cast healing spells without leaving boomkin form.

Shadows need one extra escape against double melee teams and rogue needs to be nerfed so RLS won't do that good. Because any team with shadow will auto loose to decent RLS.

That will fix shadow this season.

P.S. Thanks god for trip dps, the bane of rls.

But you forgot to mention that one mind spike will remove all dots that isn't the best thing, and without wings mind spike isn't that great either.

I would love to have an extra escape!

Edit: It would be cool if-- while archangel is popped-- you could jump to a targeted location within 25 yards. 1 Min. CD

Fallengrace, please for the love of all things good in this game don't listen to anything Snoz says about spriests and how to play one.

I won't respond to all the inaccurate info he's posted so far, I'm just giving you a fair warning before I do eventually succumb to his stupid trolling.

If that's the case can you please tell me what is inaccurate? I don't want to be doing anything stupid.

Only problem with triple dps is it counters just about everything else that doesn't play with a holy paladin

Lots of talk on a level 1.

You talk about mindspiking something, when a mellee can simply run through you/get behind you to cancel that cast/they will be all around you and over you. It isn't as easy as it sounds...And yes we aren't a dot based class. We are a class dependant on RNG for orbs.

Keep talking about ratings, it is all I see kids like you do on here. If you so pro, why u no posting on AJ?

Agreed, no one wants VT on them, thus while they will go for the kick/interupt off the bat.
