Shadow Priest can be even more OP vs certain comps

[mirdanek84]

Ok, I have been using this for a while. Not sure if it's an exploit, but it's deffinetly not intended, can't be.

What I do vs Warrior teams is, is simply apply "Shadow Word: Pain" when warrior does his reflect, mass reflect (they always do) and get SWP on my self, when there is 4seconds left on SWP I can spam "Shadow Word: Insanity", doing 3x Insanity for min. 70k (can crit up to 150k with full gear) is just OP.

Basicaly if you have SWP on your self, you can do Insanity on who ever you want to and it doesn't consume SWP from you.

I can do unhelable dmg vs any warrior / hunter team in arena, doing Devouring Plague with 3x orb + 3x insanity => GG I say.

If anyone wonder I play 3s on 2.6k mmr, Cyclone BG - EU.

This will work vs ALL warriors AND most of hunters (atleast most of top hunters use the reflect glyph) and some shamans as top shamans go with reflect aswell (grounding it think it is) vs caster teams...

Think of RBG 10-priest team VS any RBG team with a warrior with mass spell reflect.

Insanity is reworked for 5.2 though so this will be useless in 2 weeks :P

Can Confirm this as best priest Eu, don't see it as a exploit though because then Shadow Meld any damage would be a exploit too..
I see it as a smart way of ingame mechaism
Well +rep for sharing is caring!

what do you mean its not an exploit? you are using the shadow word: pain on yourself to spam Shadow word: Insanity on your target, without consuming the shadow word: pain.

Id vouch as this is an exploit, as he's right. It doenst consume shadow-word-pain allowing spam of a insanely strong ability, only meant to be used every 10-12 seconds

This is pretty sick. I don't play a shadowpriest myself but this is definitely an exploit. +4 rep.

When i was dueling a shaman outside SW, i was able to hit a
50k
50k
108k crit on him.
