So I’ve been beating my head against a wall in arena for several days now in 2v2s as duo dmg dealers, but whenver we come across a duo with a healer things get sticky.
This is doubly true for when there’s a disc priest in the game. I’m trying to better educate myself on their immunities but generally it seems we just can’t out dps their healing. They’re like a dmg/tank/healer rolled into one, which for a priest seems insane.
I’m aware there’s plenty of classes which are stronger than priest atm, balance dudu for example, but with that being a dmg class I know it’s up to me to use my defensives at the right times and hopefully out dmg them, but with the disc priest I’m at a loss for ideas.
I’m assuming you play as a ret.
If you play with a heal, I think you would benefit more from playing with a priest. Dark Archangel helps you a lot in your burst (15%) damage buff for 8 sec.
But if you prefer to play with dps, such as sub rogue, you want to kick holy cast as Cryroth mentions.
Any holy spell. Disc defensives are holy based. Kicking shadow = they can still heal holy and use defensives. Kicking holy = they can’t heal with holy magic or use defensives which means they have to spam Shadowmend (costs a lot of mana) or dps.
Priests when they are vs x2 dps, they play Radiance talent. Which not only makes their radiance instant, but also 2x charges+250% extra healing.
And yes kick holy casts as in, prevent that school of spells from being used.
This means they cannot use rapture/radiance/dome/pain supression which are the massive cooldowns.
Often when they use penance, there’s the opening for you to interrupt holy spell book
its not that hard just spam WoG when ww is losing HP while you have the enemy healer on perma cc with silence stun etc and boom you just got your dream rating…also dont fear about mana managment with the dmg ww is doing the enemy healer will be oom prety quick
