Shadowpriest Interrupt

[Abandon]

This is fun, so far I've seen being bad at AoE, having no interrupt, having no snare that actually lets us get distance, no spammable CC and no way of getting away from Melee characters being listed as things that make our spec unique and can't be changed because of the scary scary homogenization.

[Drefanator]

I do tend to get annoyed that I don't have an interupt, especially when I see heals being casted by trash/bosses that someone isn't interupting. I would love an interupt even if it was on a 20+ second cooldown. And our lack of useable CC on mobs gets extremely annoying sometimes, I know shackle is a great CC on undead, no one can deny that, but the fact that the only Undead are 4 mobs in HoO (and only one is annoying enough to CC) and in SFK, which is a complete breeze.

Another problem I have with Mind Control is that it makes our target focus us, and no amount of taunting will stop it from getting that one or two hits on us, before it goes off to the tank, so even if it was useable in a raid setting, we would still not use it just for the fact that we'd get killed everytime we use it.

Though don't get me wrong, I love the fact that I don't have to worry about CC, but there are times where I wish I could step up and CC/Interupt when no one else can/is.

As far as I know our only "friendly magic dispell" will be changed to a offensive dispell with the bonus to dispell ourself

Forgot about this, good point.

Also the moonkin-scilence is part of nearly every talentbuild and requires only one talentpoint (we need three). I would say our interrupt is harder to get.

Balance druids have the option of speccing into Solar Beam aswell

How could I have forgotten Solar Beam? D: I must have shunned it from memory after all the times I've been hit by the water pillar on Lady Naz'jar because the boomy dropped Solar Beam and I couldn't see the voidzone. So that's Boomies with a 1min CD interrupt for 1 talent point, easier to obtain than Spriests' 45sec 3 talent points. Perhaps you are at the bottom of the barrel for interrupts, but I'm still of the opinion that if you need it, you just have to take it and live with it. If you don't need it, don't take it. If you're the one spec without an interrupt, then there should be plenty of people in line before you in the interrupt rotation that you won't need to be called on anyway.

Blizz most likely has an interupt for priests, but are sitting on it because they can't think of a good name for it. You can't, after all, have a spell titled "This is Priestly interupt"

"Hush", and then we could get "Silence" when if spec into it :P

To be fair and honest, I would count any type of stun as an interrupt. Repentence, Hammer of Justice, Maim... etc. I mean, it does interrupt that persons ability to cast. I am also aware these abilities will not work on most bosses... but usually work on trash and/or boss adds.

[CoolHwip46]

Nope, Classes are meant to be unique. If you feel the need to interupt, reroll.

LOL you feel unique playing your class in the current state of the game?! Obviously you haven't been playing very long.

We don't have any stuns either.

Also, an interesting counterpoint to all this "homogenization is the devil" thinking:

http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...ana-burn/page2

Obviously homogenization is terrible when we would be gaining something, but when other classes want something deleted from us then forget those worries and delete it to make us more like the other classes.

Hmm...that might be an interesting idea:

Penitence
Instant cast 20 second cooldown
Silences the target and interrupts spellcasting for 4 seconds. The casting Priest is stunned for two seconds.

With a talent that turns it into an AoE stun fro four seconds that also interrupts as a talent? Note that the caster is also stunned as part of the effect. Would that be interesting enough?

There are more than enough classes with interupts in PVe right now and I'm tired of people wanting something because x y or z class has it . I want classes to stay unique as possible. 1st its interupts then some guy is liek hey why don't we all have pally bubbles then they will all want pets....so no just no

If you want to fill a different role in a raid/pvp [B]REROLL[B] every class doesn't need to fit every niche fill every role and be extended the same amount of utility as every other class.

This might be convincing if you were not posting in the Mana Burn thread saying it's unfair that you don't have Mana Drain. So much for you wanting classes to stay unique, since you are asking for something unique to another class. If you want to drain mana REROLL, as you would put it.

[Jademist]

That shaman one is the most OP one I've seen, and not only because of the lowest CD o_O..

Its not OP...The spell lock from Wind Shear doesn't last long so you can quickly start casting after you've been interrupted by a wind shear.

[Veiled]

Do not want.

I'm perfectly happy with having one less thing to worry about.

[Kaeldin]

forgot the Prot Pally's Avenger Shield

you would only need to spec into Silence if you're running in a 10 man setup and even then there should be enough interrupters (I run with a Shadowpriest and a Hunter and neither of them is specced into one)

[Nebthet]

so to get another wind shear lol
basically you have 2~3 seconds to land a cast between every interrupt.. far from not being op

If shadow priests had an interupt in addition to silence, well,....for pvp...

i'll just take any spell with a cast time off my bar, because blizzard obviously doesn't wanting me using those.
Seeing as every class and often healers have interrupts :/

Switch Psychic Horror and Silence in the talent tree.

Add in a Major Glyph of Silence, inspired by Deep Freeze's baseline effect (if the target is immune, then X)
The cooldown of Silence is reset to 13 seconds if the target is permanently immune to the silence effect. (15 second cooldown, accounting for the server delay)

You get an interrupt that doesn't really change PvP.

Warrior: Pummel (10sec, All specs)
Death Knight: Mind Freeze (10sec, All specs)
Paladin: Rebuke (10sec, All specs)
Hunter: Silencing Shot (20sec, Marksman)
Hunter: Nether Shock (40sec, All specs [Nether Ray])
Hunter: Pummel (30sec, All specs [Gorilla])
Shaman: Wind Shear (6sec, All specs)
Rogue: Kick (10sec, All specs)
Druid: Skull Bash (10 sec, Feral; 1min, Balance, Restoration)
Mage: Counterspell (24sec, All specs)
Warlock: Spell Lock (24sec, All specs [Felhunter])
Priest: Silence (45sec, Shadow [Requires 3 Talent Points])

Some of these are harder to use than others (low range without talents, requires shapeshift, etc.), but that's still almost everybody. Do we really need more interrupts than that?

Druid - Feral requires 2 talent points. Yes, most feral druids take this, but it is 2 points that don't help in DPS in anyway.

[Kelesti]

Druid - Feral requires 2 talent points. Yes, most feral druids take this, but it is 2 points that don't help in DPS in anyway.

Do they cost DPS though?

For example, a Shadow Priest can take Psychic Horror without costing them required DPS talents. The same is not true for Silence.

[Covertx]

Personnally we have enough to handle in PVE with Hymming and dispells, I want nothing to do with having to interrupt as well. Let someone else do something productive.
