Shadow Priest (PvE Only)

[bkk2090]

you're boring and have no idea what you are talking about.

MF2 refers to 2 ticks of one mind flay. MFx2 would refer to 2 full casts and im pretty sure you don't realize how little of an impact openers are as a shadow priest.
getting your dots up right away isn't always a good idea because they aren't going to be fully buffed (shadow weaving) and you wont get the full benifit of the trinket procs you have (if any) my opener assures me to full duration dots buffed by my trinkets. and also depending on your warlocks they might not have their crit buff up there already. you should really think about these things before trying to find outdated spell casting guides.

Putting up VT and DP as your tanks are pulling the boss, using sw:d, etc while you're running to stack up is a dps increase. Using fade means you generate no threat, and by the time 10 seconds are up, the tank should have sufficient aggro. Just because you don't do things that increase your dps and damage done, overall making the boss fight easier doesn't mean that nobody else does.

are you kidding this is so boring i already told you there is like one fight where you actually have to run in.

you put those dots up while you're running in you have a chance to proc trinkets while still running in. and dots wont get the full benifit of shadow weaving.

but honestly you have to be so retarded to argue that running in is of relevance to ICC.

All I keep hearing you say is "this is so boring" and then neglecting how proper dps is done when entering a boss fight.

I have top 50 rankings on every boss in ICC, and continue to get them on a weekly basis. You can keep telling yourself other people have no idea how to dps, but you are the one who is not min/maxing dps.

(Oo)
is playing a shadow priest that hard ?
lemme give you full shadow priest guide :
you need 0 hit rating
collect as much Spell Power as you can
collect as much sprit as you can
collect as haste as you can
rotation = SWP>DP>VT>MB>MF
after that just MB>MF and keep your DOT's alive
any question?

[bkk2090]

If you're actually running in to every single boss fight putting your dots up before you go in you're retarded.

I'm sure you get top 50 and i was in paragon but got bored brah just keep telling yourself you're good.

Try Simcrafting some of this shit before you talk.

I have tested out openers with throwing up dots up first and they are definitly not better dps unless you have to run in (on marrowgar).

Seeing as you apparently don't realize you don't run in on any fight but marrowgar you're just retarded, give up stop lying.

When a raid comes out where you have to move at the beginning of every boss fight maybe i can add your opener to the guide.

Anyway you really shouldn't post in this thread anymore getting my post count up.

Apparently you lack the reading capabilities, as I said that having to position yourself after the fight starts, during phase transitions, etc isn't limited to ICC only. Just because something isn't current content or currently something you have to do doesn't mean that you shouldn't know how to do it. And claiming to have been in Paragon while posting the armory of a US player, when Paragon is a EU guild... lol. Please continue to keep embarrassing yourself, it's really quite amusing.

[bkk2090]

Current content is all that matters gg.

You still fail to understand how unimportant an opener is.

Getting your dots up with 5 stacks of shadow weaving and in position is the best thing you do to maximize your trinket procs.

Your countless failures are boring me.

When i said i was in paragon that was obviously a lie. It was the equivalent to him lying about being anywhere in the top 50 on world of logs or any logging site. Or can you not understand sarcasm that was the most blatant lie ever god you have downs.

Oh and keep getting my post count up while you completely fail.

I'm going to just stop replying keep on trolling with your outdated openers.

[LettersFromWar]

If the openers are so outdated, why does it matter if they're that unimportant? Why am I such a "failure" if they truly don't matter? And you also act like post count actually matters in any way. I'm sorry for not detecting your sarcasm(lies), next time I'll take your posts for the joke that they are. "I have no arguments left, so I'm just gonna say I win." Have fun with that! And the way you open entirely depends on what your trinkets are, whether you're an engineer, a troll, if you're receiving tricks of the trade from a rogue, etc. So no, opening with MF3, MF2 isn't necessarily wrong or bad, but you didn't elaborate that at all in your post.

[bkk2090]

You are truly a failure because you fail to see the reasoning behind my opener choice that i clearly stated at least 5 times.

Just the fact that you brought up a rogue giving a shadow priest tricks proves you're a joke. It better serves just about any class. And find me a guild that doesn't have rogues trading tricks. Unless they are solo then it's warrior/mage/tank.

I clearly stated that it is better to open with MFx2 because of the tier set bonus. It is the fastest way to get 5 stacks of shadow weaving while having your dots at maximum damage. Whenever you learn to read exactly what i wrote word for word maybe you will understand why i chose those openers and why you are a complete moron for even arguing about them.

[LettersFromWar]

I never said it was ideal to give tricks to shadowpriests, I said it depends on what buffs they are receiving. It could be a 10 man, where the shadow priest vastly outgears the rest of the group. In the perfect raid set up, with the normal guilds, no. Shadowpriests won't be getting tricks, but that doesn't mean it won't ever happen. Thanks for resorting to insults and looking like a 14 year old douchebag in the process though, it really makes me laugh how serious you're taking this. First you lie about your armory, then you lie about being in a guild, and now you're just saying "nope l2read." I did read, that's why I know that your guide is largely just copy and pasted in an attempt to farm rep. good job!

[bkk2090]

lolololololololololol

now you're completely ignoring everything i said that was correct and going on about tricks god this is easy.

[LettersFromWar]

Because it's not *always* better to MFx2, or open with mind flay at all. Unless of course you're just trolling, in which case, yes I am quite easy to troll.

[bkk2090]

I am talking about current content where you do not have to move in at the beginning. All other content is irrelevant at this time.

I never said it was always better, I think you missed my point but you really should just stop talking.
