the new rune for shadowpriest absolutely bad. here is why
What it does : refresh Shadowword pain by casting Mindfly thats it
Which is ton of lose dps if you think about it because our Dots does not tick or damage target untill 3 second .
Plus
Mindfly it has way low damage compare to Mind spike. Mindfly ticks 59 with 3 second channel time : Mind spike tick 377 with 1.5 cast time
if we just think about this rune we figure out is better not use it at all.
please rework this rune before launche it tottaly not worth to get it

Your whole class is broken in pvp , first they need to tone down ur 12 dots that tick people from 100-0 and those instant abilities.
Then they need to do something with your 4-5 pets.
And Lets not forget best defensive in the game on A 2 min cd. Warlocks and priests are getting crits on dots.
And this dude is talking about 1 bad Rune. There are 6 Runes each , your class will Get 1-2 broken Runes 100%!
Best pvp class since Sod started

God forbid priest gets one rune that is bad. Every other class has 70% of their Runes useless.
Priest is already beyond turbo broken. Even if priest didn’t get any new runes in p3 they would still be eons better than every other class

I think Blizzard took into account that swp has to refresh at right time in order to not lose DMG. The thing is it still probably means nothing if swp DMG (or mind flay) is not increased.
stop trying to nerf priests can you please focus on the important issues like war or shamans and let us hide in the corner continuing to be OP

The only thing I can think of that this rune is supposed to help with is mana mitigation by not having to cast SWPain. If that’s the purpose of the rune then what I’d do is this instead:
Mind Flay is now a 10 second channel. Each second returns max mana to the priest by 1% then 2% then 3%, that does not mean that by 3 seconds that you have gotten 3% mana back, it means you’ve gotten 6%. it goes this way all the way up to 10% at the 10nth second, alltogether it is a 10 second channeling that returns 55% of your max mana. However, it has to be uninterupted of course.
That would make Mind Flay one hell of a lot more interesting as a mana management ability.
The way it currently works in P3 is complete dog.
Both priest runes are completely useless… it’s their way of saying: you’ve had phase 1 and 2 to dominate… now let others have fun.
Honestly I’m okay with it… priest feels powerful af still in pvp. Pve meh… but i don’t care about that so much
But priest doesn’t need that much mana. He is quite mana sufficient right now with dispersion and fiend. SWP is expensive spell, but the only place you can oom I would say is in pvp when you spam it (with shared pain). And this is btw bad place for mind flay.
I’ll take your word for it, I’m not exactly maining an s-priest so I’m just spitballing for fun.
Id say they are trying to revive mind flay as a spell?
Ofc mind spike is amazing but reading the rune it does not even requier a full channel of mind flay for the reset.
Shadow priest will get some “dead” skill points next phase anyway might as well throw it into mind flay (which is still good btw in pvp I dont really get why everyone thinks mind spike is better for it but ah well…)
Justdont still attempting to nerf anything but Rogue, his main class lmfao. I wonder why he rolls on a PvE realm.
Imagine coplaining as a class that has a better kit than in wotlk. Just stop.
Oh isnt it the pala dwarf noob that is losing vs rogues and crying about it on every post.
Fact here is that I did a 1on1 yesterday vs A shadow priest. Vanish/Blind etc , had 40 % hp after priest died.
Sat down to eat , still ticked out and died with 1200 hp + eating Max lvl food.
So What do you call that ? «Skill» ?

I might be old school, but i am happy for the rune. So much so that i would consider leveling a SP now.
Mind spike is imo an aberation and Mind flay was and still should be SP filler.
Priest is probably the most broken class if we factor out Shaman.
They don’t need any new runes tbh.
You’re complaining about rogues even in threads they were not even mentioned! Broadening your horizons I see.
Hope to see you whine about rogues in other threads as well! I like this little game of “Where’s Waldo” we’re having.

Shadow priests have never been a top dps ,nor most wanted class into a raid room. It’s mainly a warlock support and it’s pointless to bring more than one. It’s a very well known trend by old school players.
Right , Homon sta buff and passive healing alone gets you A raid spot phase 2. The same will happen going forward. And while still beeing top 3 in pvp aswell.
