[Priests] Mind Sear

[Zinox]

Fairly simple, with the change to Mind Sear in cataclysm, you can now target both a friendly and an enemy.

Exploit:

Two aoe bubbles appear (one on self, one on friendly target) and will knock a person out of stealth.


Strategy that my priest partner uses:
Cast it on self, interrupts self after one tick, then casts full duration of Mind Sear on the friendly target. Repeat

Downside is you have to cast it on yourself every other time it is casted

I knew about the knocking people out of stealth, been doing that in arenas for a while.

as far as casting it on myself, i didn't know that. testing right now

When you cast it on yourself it doesn't do any damage to targets around you.

Common sense - all proper priests have a brain and have been doing this for long

[DDDevilz]

Another awesome addition of Mind Sear on a friendly target in the ability to /cancelaura Mind Sear. You can massively piss off guildies/random LFD priests putting that line into several of your ability macros. =D

When you cast it on yourself it doesn't do any damage to targets around you.

Correct... follow the instructions I have listed.
I said cast on self, interrupt it, cast on friendly

[Yooloze]

Can you explain what exactly is the exploit ?

You say , cast it on yourself then cancel it then cast it on friendly target and 2 AoE bubble appear ? What is that suppose to mean , the AoE pulse from Mindsear won't do anything off you. It will obviously work on your friendly target because thats how the spell is designed so its working as intented lol. But I honestly don't get what your exploit is supposed to be.

[Zinox]

By ONLY casting it on yourself.... it wont work. You need to cast it on yourself, and then ur partner for it to tick off both yourself and your partner...
I need to get my priest partner to get a SS of it...
Its worked several times for me in arena...[COLOR="Silver"]

So I think what he is trying to say is the graphic and AOE effect that mind sear does will in effect be on 2 people at once using these steps for instance 2v2 vs double rogue use these steps and not get sapped?


so the exploit would be 2 people having mind sear during one cast and breaking stealth on anyone nearby

tested it, the mind sear effect on the priest does no dmg.. only the mind sear on your friend
