What is happening with shadow priests?

[Scifix]

So this might be a bit of a whine thread, but hell, this needs to get noticed

doing my wardens quests, i arrive at the falcosaur place in northern highmountain, and people are complaining about a shadow priest ganking people, and when i arrive, i notice that he is spending a maximum of 2 seconds killing people, probably 15 horde players he took down all on his own, sure some said "he is just skilled", but this went beyond skill, just doing insane dmg, unlike anything i`ve seen since paladins had the super OP divine storm in wotlk pre-launch.

so my question: are Spriests broken since the last patch?

Most likely Class Hall 10 minute infinite insanity potion.

I've heard there's an item from your garrison, that makes your insanity stay at 100 for 15 mins or so, giving you permanent void form and buffing your dots by 200% – so it's enough to apply vampiric touch and swp to kill anyone almost instantly.
So, hooray for world pvp and balanced items.

That's the order hall 10 minute STM potion.

He couldn't have killed the 15 horde player if they went on him at the same time, and the potion fade on death. Just zerg him down.

I like to use it outside EN waiting for our raid to form. Pop Swirling Void Potion and wait for 100 stacks. Then proceed to demolish whole raids standing outside quicker than any mythic boss lol. (I have legendary ring that spread dots)

Maybe think twice before pissing off a shadow priest

With the healing from VT rolling on loads of targets it heals sooo much. You become a God! Or an Old God if you will :P

[Woop Woop]

Just stun the priest and global him, highly doubt that it was actually 15 people.
15 people going one at a time, of course he will demolish them.

If you manage to cast VT more than once while being zerged down, kudo to you.

Good luck doing anything while being "zerged down". What's your point?

That is his point....

It's dumb point to be making though. Any class/spec won't be able to do anything against "zerging down", so why even mention it?

It's clear that OP was not attacked by 15 people all at once, so this whole argument is pointless.

And any class/Spec won't be able to do anything on its own against a stacked mass hysteria.

The mention come from OP's "probably 15 horde players he took down all on his own, sure some said "he is just skilled".

The whole topic is pointless tho, I give you that.

@OP Was it a male troll priest?

But yeah like everyone else said swirling void basically lets us just put pain up and 2-3 ticks will kill someone at that high of MH. It also makes the world swirly and void looking!

Ummm, how do you get this potion? I ask because I friend of mine...

You randomly get it from the Shadow Vault in your class hall if you choose the class hall trait that enables you to receive a daily item to help you whle in the Broken Isles.
