Ohhh maaaa gaash Shadow priest REAL CD BURST OMG

[Volitar]

I'm not really impressed, does this small boost really change anything?

It probably won't change enough to make PI competitive on the fights where DI and ToF are more appropriate currently. But if there is ever another Spine of Deathwing fight, it might make it worthwhile for burst fights like that (over ToF or DI).

PI stacks with Bloodlust (yay), it now also increases damage done as well as Haste (with Haste already being a staple of a DoT spec since 3.2-3.3), which is also huge. The only thing that is really missing is make it scale with Mind Bla-- oh wait. :-/


At least it does have the effect of "Here, you want a burst cooldown, spec it".

[Blackmorgrim]

Actually according to my spreadsheets, its looking like with PI, SW:I and the LMG... I can take my priest... in ilvl 491 gear, and probably spike to around 350k-400k dps for about 15 seconds during bloodlust. I'm neatening up the work, and seeing how I can squeeze a bit more out, but I'll probably have it up on H2P next week (working all weekend). Waiting to see if they nerf berserking.

with 8085 haste, popping Berserking+PI on a LMG proc during bloodlust results in 219% spell haste. During that time, DP will do around 186k dps by itself. Then you should be able to fit 5 full SW:I's within the DP duration. (SW:I will channel over 0.93 secs) That's around another 180k dps for those 5 seconds. Note that means SW:P and VT also have a period of 0.93 secs, while DP ticks every 0.31 secs.

DP and SW:P gain 11 ticks (19 in total), VT gains 10 (16 in total).

This 10% damage, and being able to stack with BL is huge.

Why do you all speak about Shadow? This is mostly a buff for Discipline as PI is a Talent most Disc Priests chose.

.... You serious? It's a cooldown, it should also be a possible choice for SP. As it was, it sucked. Now you can consider taking it.

If it stacks with BL this talent should be pretty good. With t15 2-set & Unerring Vision of Lei Shen, dots would have 20% more haste for entire fight.

[Zomglazerpew]

As far as I know, it DOESN'T STACK with BL, which is a big gripe from a large part of the community regarding the talent, since warlocks' haste bonus (can't remember if it's a CD or passive) does. However, if I remember correctly, Unholy DK's Unholy frenzy doesn't stack with BL either, but I'm not certain (used to play on my DK in Cata, haven't in MoP).

On a side note, I think that PI does stack with the new haste meta-gem, and so does BL. However, all 3 don't stack. Can anybody please certify this?

It does in fact stack.

i have a hard time believing we would be allowed to such dps even if its only for 5 seconds. Either something is wrong with your calculations or blizzard hasn't noticed a flaw in their design yet. Either way, i hope we'll do decent burst now. Im tired on only being able to push 210k with almost perfect trinket/weapon procs + good DI procs for a DP on top of all my other cd's. Other classes seem to do 250k or more on almost every pull with less gear than me

It's not that bizzare really, a destro lock spamming 3-4 chaos bolts (not to mention havoc) during cooldowns can do well over 400k DPS for those casts. Warriors during Avatar/Reckless/Skull Banner can maintain it for about 10 seconds (particularly during Execute range). I don't know how big Ele or Ret numbers are particularly - but given they burst almost as well during their cooldowns, I suspect they can get almost as high and last longer (15-20ish seconds).

Well thats good then i guess. Atleast we'll have burst on par with other classes ^_^

[Balyn]

I haven't really read up anything about the new bosses coming in 5.2, but if there is a fight like Spine I guess PI could be good.

It's very possible pi will be the go to talent now.

And when I poped every thing he melted it killed him through the lock heals with the healthstone. but I think may have just got really lucky with crits.
we was both shocked at the burst xD just a shame people wont stand still in bg's for you xD
this was going back abit but we both had about 60% resi. I activated my account just to see how insanity and PI with all cd's when patch comes just a shame I'm gonna be behind on gear now xD
It was fun in bg's too because I'm a nerd that farms flasks and pots... oh and ofc the tailor nets.. And some people still own me xDDD

[Biggles Worth]

Nice, increased healing for me!

[deviantcultist]

Since they want to make Power Infusion more attractive for Shadow, why can't they provide a decent looking animation for it to fit the Shadow spec instead of the weak holy aura ?

[Aleaa]

spec instead of the weak holy aura ?

new icons and new animations is what we need atm

[otro]

Fuck the glowing effect, I want damage.

[DeiVias]

All over folks, nothing to see here, it's back to being crap.
