Easier pandaren rare spawns for Priests

[Dalemaunder]

I'm going to come right out and say it... Pandaren rare spawns are an absolute BITCH to kill as a priest, their heal can heal them almost back up to full health at higher levels and our only ability to stop the cast is a 45 second cooldown, longer than the cooldown on the heal. But today I had an epiphany as to how to kill them much easier.

Its simple really, Use Silence to stop the first heal then use Yaungol Wind Chime the next time she goes to heal to interrupt the cast which gives your silence a few seconds longer to come off cooldown so you can silence the 3rd heal(which she will cast a few seconds later as the chimes don't put it on CD)

It worked the 1st time I tried it but I assume there can still be a chance of silence not coming off CD in time, but its better than 6-10 minute fights in shadow just to out damage her heals.

Thanks. Didn't think of that. I've been avoiding the level 91 panda rares because of this. +rep

Psychic Horror? 45 second cool down + a glyph for knocking 10 seconds off. I believe almost all of them can be stunned/silenced by this.

Not to mention you can get the glyph of psychic scream, which you can fear them into standing still as another interrupt.

Just giving you more alternatives to helping you kill those tricky rares.

Incorrect, psychic horror doesn't work on ANY rares.

Would be really nice if it did, since pretty much every other class has a stun for rares :/

well, or just dps them down before 2nd heal

with worse gear i kept cds, got 3 orbs and dots rolling on mob, didn't kick the first heal and then started dpsing fully buffed so i had to kick just one (the second heal) and got all rare spawns down.

The problem is that the yaungol wind chime isn't an interrupt per se. What happens in most cases is that as soon as the stun comes off, the mob will start casting the heal again.
You might get lucky with the heal not being recast a few times, but my experience throughout my rarefarming is that you'll be disappointed.

As LeetHaxor said, Psychic Horror doesn't work on any of the rares, nor does Psychic Scream, aka our silence is the only spell we have to interupt. Kind of shitty design by blizz imo.

The problem is, if you don't have enough dps (like me) this doesn't really work too well, I got Ai-Li down to about 500k before she recast heal on my best attempt.

But it DOES give you 4-6 more seconds for your silence to come off of CD to re-interupt after she starts casting it again which is what let me kill Ai-Li.
