[Shadow] Procs and buffs questions

[Deleted]

Hello guys,

First of all, sorry for my approximative english, i'm not a native speaker.

So i just start to play my shadow priest again after leaving it since Blackwing Descent (4.2 ?). I have a few questions concerning dot refreshing and buffs.

When I played my priest back in 4.2, to have empowered shadow up all the time was the top priority. Is it still the case ? Because I learned that we don't have to wait for a shadow orb proc to cast mind blast and It was the case in 4.2. What I did back then is that even if my dots felt down, i still waited for a shadow orb proc to reaply ES if it had fall off. Still the case or not ?

Secondly, I also read that we have to reapply dots if an important buff procs. Therefore, I reapply vampiric touch and DP every time power torrent or my dark moon card volcano buff procs ? Is it the way to do it ? (because I tried to do the same cycle ignouring buff procs and I was approximatly at the same DPS, sometimes higher !)
- If yes, do I have to do it with all the procs ?
-If yes, VT or DP to reaply first ?

Thirdly, back in 4.2 just BEFORE activating ARchangel, i reapplyed my dots. Is it still a good thing to do ? Also, is it important to wait for trinket procs and stuff to activate archangel ?

Finally, just before my volcanic potion buffs falls off, i reapply my dots to extend the lengh of the buff.Good thing to do ?

Thanks in advance for all your answers :-) I may have other questions in the future !

- use mb on cd it brings more dps then waiting for orbs
- don´t let dots fall off
- i reapply dots when important spellpower procc occur (only weapon enchant is not enough there)
- always reapply Dp when procs occur since it´s dpet is higher than mindflay
- use archangel on cd it is a dps loss to wait (unless you have t13 4 piece and archangel and shadowfiend are less then 15 sec to wait to sync together)
- generally speaking its a good idea to extend the length of the potion but dont renew dots that were renewed a few secs ago

You didn't wait for Orbs before casting MB in BWL (4.0, 4.1), and certainly not in 4.2 (Firelands) either.
