Requesting buff to Mind Sear

[Deleted]

Thank you, Blizzard. Bye.

Blizz have actually decided to remove aoe abilities from ranged dps that cause shadow damage.

Thank you, Blizzard. Bye.

I will forward this at once.

But did you see the buffs we go- oh wait :\

It's the "multidotter" tag that is still weighting shadow spec down after all these years. It's true that multidotting was good before they gave everyone else strong aoe and cleave (and dots). Cleave is better than multidotting in 9/10 situations, as mobs tend to be tanked in groups and cc is not used anymore.

Shadow spec has always suffered because of dots and nothing has changed. Abilities have always lagged 1 expansion behind other classes. First it was stats scaling: crit, haste, mastery. Then lack of aoe. Now it's the lack of cleave ability.

Mind sear is low as well, that is pretty clear at this point. Again, looking back at things, it will take about a month for the devs to become aware of this, then about 1-2 weeks before some bandaid number buff kicks in.

Mindsear totally, totally, USELESS dps atm. 1,655 dmg/tick. When there is any kind of aoe i could just go /afk tbh, not doing much. And dotting up adds thats gonna die in 5-6sec, na...

Would be awesome if mind sear was added back to our mastery.

that would be nice.

@ Drye That would help a lot or maybe give us some sort of AoE burst through a kind of Insanity Sear. Just kinda sad when our AoE gets out preformed by single target rotation.

I would love to see mind Sear back to our mastery. cureent state is jsut so bad is not even funny anymore.

Yeah and would also make sense for Mastery to affect all the Mind X spells so we can easily remember what it does
Now affects Mind [Blast] [Spike] [Flay] [Sear]

Totally agree. Whenever there is mobs that im supposed to mind sear i just...well no idea what im doing, dotting them up (even if they gonna die before the 5th tick or something) and continue with mind flay or something. Its a completely useless spell atm.

[Fascinate]

I actually think it was a bug it got removed from mastery, there is no line of reasoning you could throw at me that would make any logical sense if it was intentional.

Blizzard employees do read, and comment, here from time to time. Guy still shouldn't hold his breath on getting their attention here lol

I had 2 idea's on this that I tweeted Blizzard about. Either A: add Mind Seer back into Mastery and how that fixes it or B: Allow mind seer ticks, like monks Spinning crane kick, when hitting more than X amount of targets have the ability to generate orbs and have an orb ae consuming ability that turns MS into an Insanity.

Obviously the easiest path would be to just put it back into our mastery.

[ultimar235]

It needs some extra functionality because if you buff its damage too much then it'll become better than MF.

IMO it should spread our DoT's like Blood Boil does perhaps even including DP.

That ought to be enough and keeps with the DoT theme.

[Thelxi]

Mastery should include mind sear AND dots.

[Larynx]

Mastery should include mind sear AND dots.

I nominate this for ignorant suggestion of the year award.
