You did a good job. Question: What was that giving you mana there? A trinket or something? I don't recall that during BC and I played a shadow priest in BC too.
Hey just to let you know that found a way to get free WoW game cards, check this webiste freewowgametime(dot)com?join=9 to know how i got it. thank you Ela Peary
Shadow priest are very easy for grinding.. People cast too many spells imo.. I just cast VT, SW:P and mindflay x 2.. I wand the rest of the way and kill mobs very fast and hardly use any mana. I can go about 20-30 mins without drinking.. Dispertion and shadowfiend help a lot to.
lol this is so obsolete, if u really wanna conserve mana dont be a shadow priest, we use like 5% of out mana each spell, but to keep it minimum just cast devouring plague, shadow word pain, mind blast vamp touch. give it 3 more seconds and theyre out
Vampiric touch used to give you mana based on how much damage you deal to the target, now it just gives the Replenishment buff that gives 1% mana every 5 sec
lots of run throughs haha. thats the worst level range to get through on priest, gets much easier at 40 when you get shadowform (level shadow spec or take 2 years to level)
Hahahahaha, nice one... playing 80 priest and not knowing Priest skills. You almost got me there. /sarcasm
Really you retard go fucking leearn your facts. You probably started playing WoW 4 months ago. Well let me tell you that before WoTLK Priests had 1-2 different spells depending on their race. I had ''Touch of Weakness'' and ''Consume Magic''. You should be asshamed for having an 80 priest.
this is how I leveled my priest (Healspray Terenas realm horde to lv63) first 3 talents in shadow for +100% spirit regen then rest holy dps talents but I do have 2 heirlooms (weapon and shoulder) which give good spellpower. note that shadow word: Pain cost a shitload of mana and doesnt deal that much damage at low lv so try to avoid it , it doesnt even go for its full duration. holy fire deals good damage and glyph of smite is reccomended
they get a little easier to lvl at 40, at 50 with vampiric touch, on the target, cast mind blast and you get the replinishment affect making them much more efficient. and as for how fast they kill its the same as any other class
priest is the worst class to level, but they do own in pvp these days alot at 80... but not the TREES never :) cast your mana burn and i shape to bear... no mana no burn :D and the we just wait you to get oom and slowly torture you to death!! ;)
Omg are priests really this slow to kill yellow mops?? i leveled my priest to 19 ( with all heirlooms) and deleted it cause it was allways OOM, and leveling was so pain compared to other classes,, I have allways wondered if they would come even a bit better at later levels. but it seems absolutely no. must be slowest class to level..
VT, SW:P, VE run around dotting eveything. do this for about a month or so and then you might have to use Shadowfiend then just hop around for another month doing same rotation. easy grind...
hey i gotta question, did you respec or something? cause in the video you have shadowform, but in your talent tree link you're barley talented in shadow
My tactis is a bit close, I have a lvl 70 and and am levelling a 52 one now.
use PW:Shield.
Vampiric Touch
Mind blast
Mind Flayx1 or 2x
Wand until the replenish buff is about to run out
Mind blast to get another replenish buff.
Mob dies quick, so SW:pain isn't needed for me,and I still have full mana after, sometimes I go right onto next mob so I don't have to waste mana on another PW:Shield.
As much as i would love to... i stopped playing my priest and am playing some other character. I might one day make another video of my priest though. Who knows.
hah... can i ask u something? are priest aprieciated in BG? PS: im from argentina so.. i dont know if its "apreciated" or another word.. th epople of latin amercia and spain know what wanted to mean.... =)
yes appreciated is the right word, and the answer is yes people do want priests because of their healing capabilities good buffs and high damage :) hope it helped
Simple rotation should be - mind blast, sw:p, mindflay x2 (or mindflay x1, holy fire) and wand the rest of the time.. I don't even shield usually,. Just toss a flash heal or renew and repeat.. Stocking up on a lot of +spirit helps to. I have at times grinded 1hr straight without drinking (boulders in badlands arond level 37-38 ish)
but dont fear either, it has a lengthy cooldown and they can aggro other mobs (however in pvp DO use fear, its pwnage)
instead use vampyric touch and with the imp VE talent you will generally heal 90% of what they damage you if your 1v1 PvE
if your outnumbered by more than 2v1 you may want to shield as VE becomes exponentially weaker the more knockbacks you take while casting, and youll probably end up using more mana anyway
Yep it does, but it returns an amount based on your maximum mana,
using mind blast while VT is in effect procs a replenish buff that returns 0.25% of your max mana per second over 14 seconds
so for mine thats 3.5% of max mana (around 550 mana) over 14 seconds which works out like a temporary raid wide blessing of wisdom for 14 seconds after each and every mind blast you do while VT is in effect
nice video but i find it funny when haters of wow go on youtube and search vids up of wow just to say stupid ass comments and they say we have no lives..... when thats wat people do all day long is go on youtube and hate everything ..... truly those people are the ones who have no lives
This Video needs to be bumped, not cause its a good vid (i hate it personaly) but the comunity discussing there Spell Cycles is awsome nice to such a good response.!!
yeah, cause shielding urself is really mana efficent. after 70 lvls, u still haven't learned that? gratz. gogo rank 1 fear!! and if u're afraid that u're gonna pull by fearing.. so what?
vt and pain, then the same at the next mob, then the next and so on. throw in a death at high hp mobs. if that's not enough you've really done something wrong with your gear.
Single mob: VT, flay, flay, SWD. Mob should be dead
Multi-mob farming: VT, turn and run/strafe, SW:P, VE; tab to next mob, repeat. Wand if necessary.
If you're taking too much damage or getting pushed back too much, use fear. Fear + VE still cost less mana than bubble. In crowded areas, just pull back far enough so that adds are less of an issue.
in your tactic you open a pull with a non dmg spell.. this means that the time the mob is running at you you have scored 0 dps, aslo u can cast MB and then SWP befor the first global cooldown = 2 spells instead of 1 per tic. now with new talents you will never have to reaply SPW with is good.
I always use a down ranked shield. The rank changes depending on mob, but generally I just use one that will stay up long enough for 2 or 3 mind flays. The interuption to mind flay w/o shield just annoys the crap out of me.
Backwards kiting/running, Keyboard turning, clicking >.> You do know that, if you run sideways (with a metasocket gem), you can kill him with dots without getting touched, with 100% mana in the end with no spirit tap?
I am at 1,300 SD unbuffed in my Raiding set. when soloing I tend to wear my healing gear (mostly bt/hyjal) except using dmg neck,trinkets MH/OH. never ever get below half mana even when consistantly moving from target to target. with the amount of regen on healing gear there is no downtime.
and Sorry in 2.4 even when raiding it is more logical to pick up blackout instead of Spirit tap (which only procs off you having the killing blow) 3.0 will be a different story.
Lol no wonder he never goes out of mana hes got frikkin spirit tap! just get to 1100-1200 shadow dm and your sweet I think 1600 means you can never run out of mana!
I'm sorry but I think I agree. Just suck it up and drink after a few pulls. Saves time, plus, I hate the wand. It doesn't help AT ALL in raids or PvP, so I never even bothered.
Just suck it up. The mana. Burn them down, and drink. You will kill them a lot faster and make it up for the downtime drinking, and it'll be somehow more fun
As a BE Spriest, I find most useful when leveling was this spell rotation: Touch of Weakness > Vampiric Touch > Vampiric Embrace > Mind Flay > Shadow Word: Pain > Mind Blast > Shoot. @ the end of the fight, you should have 10% increased shadow damage which makes your DoTs much stronger.
Oh dear lol, after playing priest to 70 i don't think i can role another mana based class, they just have too much downtime when leveling for example a shadow priest could kill 11 enemies whilst a mage could kill about 3 at the most without having to drink, unless of course the mage uses a wand, which they forget they have LOL.
why are you wasting mana on shield? with VE (a LOT cheaper to cast), you should never ever ever ever ever have to shield unless you've got 3 or more mobs beating on you.
VT--VE&SWP(while running)--MFx2. Wand if you need to, but I know that after I hit around 1.1k damage (i have 1226 now) that VT--MFx2---SWD was all i need to farm one mob at a time. /shrug. Play how you want I guess, but shielding is a big waste of mana.
my spell rotation lvling from 60-70 was similar, i didnt bubble tho... VT VE SWP MB MF, didnt have to drink once unless i had multiple adds even then didnt always have to. Then came pvp.... ugh mana! mana!
And constantly have Mind Flay interrupted? It costs less mana to have a shield up then to constantly recast Mind Flay only for it to tick once or twice.
if you back up while casting your insta-casts you can get VT, VE, SWP, MB, and 2 MF's in before the target reaches you. then just shoot away with the wand....VE heals you enough to not have to worry about damage done to you. so 2 MF's is cheaper than a Shield.
lol put them both up power sheild so u absorb some damage and dont lose cast time till it breaks and then when it does the inner fire to reduce damage taken by some
...the more spell damage you have, the closer you come to completely neutralising mana consumption. Stack haste once you're pushing into 1400 unbuffed spelldamage for a dps increase, stacking haste too soon will just oom u on long fights.
macro inner focus to sw:p and any damage trinkets like icon of the silver crescent to VT, that way whenever they're up u use the cd... sw:p being the most expensive, or u could macro inner focus to mindblast for a marginally small dps increase... spell damage is our most important stat after hit rating (wich is incredibly easy to cap seeing as we get 10% from talents alone)
You're talking to someone who's played a shadow priest.
PW:S isn't the cheapest spell you have. The biggest point of it is to help keep your spells going when you've got a bunch of targets beating on you, or you're getting hit by something that does a lot of damage.
priest r extemely overrated because most ppl think they r only good for healing and rezzing but shadow preist r capable of dealing some excellent damage on an enemy
you only need up to the +30% mana regen in disc.... i've gotten blackout and had enough points for +30% mana regen AND inner focus so uhhh... you're doin it wrong obv. lrn2play
lol u serious mental agility saves you way more mana for your instant casts thus fore it saves you a lot of mana for leveling Lrn2conserve mana lol and i dont take advise from plp who are in Kara, ZA, SSC, or Tk.
try to use psychich scream rank 1 and then minflay em, thats much cheaper i never run out of mana with spirit tab when im grinding, i only use the bubble when my life gets low, so i can "suck" me up with ve a bit of spirit on the gear is recommended
You need much better gear. Go get FSW and Spell strike sets. fill em full of spell damage.
I'm running 1262 shadow damage unbuffed and I just need to VT/SW:P mobs to garentee a kill. I do shield to keep casting but fear when you have 2-3 mobs on you rocks. I can normaly keep going without ooming as long as I use my Shadowfiend on each cd and plague (UD ftw) when I'm running low on health.
Sloooooow farming. VT/Ve, and then blast/flay. Shielding is the biggest waste of mana you can imagine. You protect your cast time with fear. Most mobs don't live long enough to justify Pain. Wanding works when you have more spirit gear than damage gear, but every time you move back a step, you reset your wand timer, losing dps. After you get good gear ≥900 shadow damage), it's much faster to buy water and continually cast.
This is a good way to keep mana but man does this go slow what i do is, VT, SWP, VE, MB, MF, Wand to approx. 15-20% then SWD and this way I can kill about 10-12 mobs without going OOM.
what i do, i VT, VE, SWP, 2 MF, then wand, gota say i go for ages befor i oom and if i do i use fiend and wand full mana and repeat. easiest way i found..
Sometimes other ranks of spells is more mana consuming. Take that into consideration. I play holy priest and spamming highest rank of greater heal is something you don't want to do over time. Try to do max damage with lowest mana and the outcome is great. As shadowpriest you can loose some hp since you regain it trough your damage. Other than that i would like to say that this tactic won't work on all mobs, it depends on their hp as well. But really nice for farming with Shadowpriest.
what i do, i Vamp touch, Vamp embrace, shadow word pain, mind blast, then wand
that way they dont do enough damage 2 hurt me, and i deal enough so i get most of my mana back, plus spirit tap so, i have full mana and full health for the next fight... im a lvl 54 shadow priest
However, now at 70 with over 1k spelldamage things are different. You can easily just run around and dot mobs, fearing so they don't hit you for much and then run back and loot after they die. And still I don't really drink all that often.
This is by far the easiest method while leveling, and no, Shadowpriests cannot kill mobs much faster than one every 12 seconds even while burning mana like crazy. Mind Blast and SWD have cooldowns you critisizers know?
With this method you kill one mob every 15 seconds and you don't use any mana. So killing 5 mobs you need to drink for 30 seconds. If you're wanding you will 6 mobs while the nuker is killing and drinking. I did level one up and did test it extensively while leveling.
You did a good job. Question: What was that giving you mana there? A trinket or something? I don't recall that during BC and I played a shadow priest in BC too.

Vampiric touch gives you mana instead of vampiric embrace, which gives you health.
however T has been nerfed as of WotLK and now only gives you a VERY minor renew effect if you use mind blast while vampiric touch is in effect
however vamp touch itself is a very potent DoT and by lvl 66 (my char) you can expect 500+ per tick from it depending on your gear
ghostrj 2 years ago
does vampiric touch still give you mana though? because with spirit tap and improved spirit tap along with VT is beast :D
Lolfuzzycloud15 2 years ago
Yep it does, but it returns an amount based on your maximum mana,
using mind blast while VT is in effect procs a replenish buff that returns 0.25% of your max mana per second over 14 seconds
so for mine thats 3.5% of max mana (around 550 mana) over 14 seconds which works out like a temporary raid wide blessing of wisdom for 14 seconds after each and every mind blast you do while VT is in effect
this effect stacks per shadow priest too

Nah he doesn't, if you don't put dots on first then the mob will die 1/2 way into the dot therefore wasting the mana from the dot.
Bes way is SW:P > VT > VE > Flay > Flay > wand.
Nice damage and low mana wastage. This way you also don't need shield, because of your heals from VE, which saves mana too.

I always use a down ranked shield. The rank changes depending on mob, but generally I just use one that will stay up long enough for 2 or 3 mind flays. The interuption to mind flay w/o shield just annoys the crap out of me.

That's a stupid tact.
My tacts are, for grinding at least is:
VT
VE
MF
Wand!
VE will keep your HP up, don't use much mana, and you'll still survive.
And btw, you need the killing blow to get the effect of Spirit Tap. No use in raids.
However, luckily going to be fixed in 3.0.0
But, I'm rerolling disc in wtlk, since SP's is getting über-nerfed, so I really don't care! :P

You should never need to sheild VE is enough to keep your health up and its less mana.
snowstorm808909 3 years ago
depending on how the priest plays they might use the shield to keep from spell interruptions.

I am at 1,300 SD unbuffed in my Raiding set. when soloing I tend to wear my healing gear (mostly bt/hyjal) except using dmg neck,trinkets MH/OH. never ever get below half mana even when consistantly moving from target to target. with the amount of regen on healing gear there is no downtime.
and Sorry in 2.4 even when raiding it is more logical to pick up blackout instead of Spirit tap (which only procs off you having the killing blow) 3.0 will be a different story.

I'm sorry but I think I agree. Just suck it up and drink after a few pulls. Saves time, plus, I hate the wand. It doesn't help AT ALL in raids or PvP, so I never even bothered.

Just suck it up. The mana. Burn them down, and drink. You will kill them a lot faster and make it up for the downtime drinking, and it'll be somehow more fun
WingsOfVengence 3 years ago
As a BE Spriest, I find most useful when leveling was this spell rotation: Touch of Weakness > Vampiric Touch > Vampiric Embrace > Mind Flay > Shadow Word: Pain > Mind Blast > Shoot. @ the end of the fight, you should have 10% increased shadow damage which makes your DoTs much stronger.
teekona15 3 years ago
you dont have to cast swp, do another mindflay instead, swp costs way too much mana
mofsens 3 years ago
Oh dear lol, after playing priest to 70 i don't think i can role another mana based class, they just have too much downtime when leveling for example a shadow priest could kill 11 enemies whilst a mage could kill about 3 at the most without having to drink, unless of course the mage uses a wand, which they forget they have LOL.
deshidean 3 years ago
why are you wasting mana on shield? with VE (a LOT cheaper to cast), you should never ever ever ever ever have to shield unless you've got 3 or more mobs beating on you.
VT--VE&SWP(while running)--MFx2. Wand if you need to, but I know that after I hit around 1.1k damage (i have 1226 now) that VT--MFx2---SWD was all i need to farm one mob at a time. /shrug. Play how you want I guess, but shielding is a big waste of mana.

Scrathy 3 years ago
And constantly have Mind Flay interrupted? It costs less mana to have a shield up then to constantly recast Mind Flay only for it to tick once or twice.
SimuRei 3 years ago
Actually...
if you back up while casting your insta-casts you can get VT, VE, SWP, MB, and 2 MF's in before the target reaches you. then just shoot away with the wand....VE heals you enough to not have to worry about damage done to you. so 2 MF's is cheaper than a Shield.
JRoss420 3 years ago
lol put them both up power sheild so u absorb some damage and dont lose cast time till it breaks and then when it does the inner fire to reduce damage taken by some
ToddStepps 3 years ago
...the more spell damage you have, the closer you come to completely neutralising mana consumption. Stack haste once you're pushing into 1400 unbuffed spelldamage for a dps increase, stacking haste too soon will just oom u on long fights.
tipsmack 3 years ago
macro inner focus to sw:p and any damage trinkets like icon of the silver crescent to VT, that way whenever they're up u use the cd... sw:p being the most expensive, or u could macro inner focus to mindblast for a marginally small dps increase... spell damage is our most important stat after hit rating (wich is incredibly easy to cap seeing as we get 10% from talents alone)
tipsmack 3 years ago
from the 14 15 16 mana reg i would say you have low spell damage cause i only use VT and mindflay on a mob and i get all my mana back

You're talking to someone who's played a shadow priest.
PW:S isn't the cheapest spell you have. The biggest point of it is to help keep your spells going when you've got a bunch of targets beating on you, or you're getting hit by something that does a lot of damage.

try to use psychich scream rank 1 and then minflay em, thats much cheaper i never run out of mana with spirit tab when im grinding, i only use the bubble when my life gets low, so i can "suck" me up with ve a bit of spirit on the gear is recommended
i dont have downtimes at grinding, usually

wizzkiller92 3 years ago
You need much better gear. Go get FSW and Spell strike sets. fill em full of spell damage.
I'm running 1262 shadow damage unbuffed and I just need to VT/SW:P mobs to garentee a kill. I do shield to keep casting but fear when you have 2-3 mobs on you rocks. I can normaly keep going without ooming as long as I use my Shadowfiend on each cd and plague (UD ftw) when I'm running low on health.
monkkeycatboy 3 years ago
Sloooooow farming. VT/Ve, and then blast/flay. Shielding is the biggest waste of mana you can imagine. You protect your cast time with fear. Most mobs don't live long enough to justify Pain. Wanding works when you have more spirit gear than damage gear, but every time you move back a step, you reset your wand timer, losing dps. After you get good gear ≥900 shadow damage), it's much faster to buy water and continually cast.

This is a good way to keep mana but man does this go slow what i do is, VT, SWP, VE, MB, MF, Wand to approx. 15-20% then SWD and this way I can kill about 10-12 mobs without going OOM.

what i do, i VT, VE, SWP, 2 MF, then wand, gota say i go for ages befor i oom and if i do i use fiend and wand full mana and repeat. easiest way i found..
lordraiden10 3 years ago
Sometimes other ranks of spells is more mana consuming. Take that into consideration. I play holy priest and spamming highest rank of greater heal is something you don't want to do over time. Try to do max damage with lowest mana and the outcome is great. As shadowpriest you can loose some hp since you regain it trough your damage. Other than that i would like to say that this tactic won't work on all mobs, it depends on their hp as well. But really nice for farming with Shadowpriest.
ripperstar2k 3 years ago
what i do, i Vamp touch, Vamp embrace, shadow word pain, mind blast, then wand
that way they dont do enough damage 2 hurt me, and i deal enough so i get most of my mana back, plus spirit tap so, i have full mana and full health for the next fight... im a lvl 54 shadow priest
grahamsnail3 3 years ago
Spirit tap. Ew.
Also, if you're only doing one mob at a time, SW:P is the least effective way to use your mana. It ticks twice and costs almost 600 mana.
VT, VE, Mind Flay, Mind blast... SW:D if needed. You're looking at 5% of your mana per fight.
godsbassist 3 years ago
Well not really since you while leveling you shouldn't cast any spells while the mob is hitting you. Just wand.
oldinion 3 years ago
However, now at 70 with over 1k spelldamage things are different. You can easily just run around and dot mobs, fearing so they don't hit you for much and then run back and loot after they die. And still I don't really drink all that often.
oldinion 3 years ago
This is by far the easiest method while leveling, and no, Shadowpriests cannot kill mobs much faster than one every 12 seconds even while burning mana like crazy. Mind Blast and SWD have cooldowns you critisizers know?
With this method you kill one mob every 15 seconds and you don't use any mana. So killing 5 mobs you need to drink for 30 seconds. If you're wanding you will 6 mobs while the nuker is killing and drinking. I did level one up and did test it extensively while leveling.
oldinion 3 years ago
Or you could just not shield at all, save yourself all that mana and let VE do its work.

Shaltinanwenor 3 years ago
I find this better
at max distance:
Cast vt start running away (don't back pedal)
Cast swp and ve as you jump to turn around
Mindflay mindflay, wand the rest,
By the time ur at next pull u should be full health and mana.
by casting ve you save urself a bubble (hence mana) and the ve on next pull should make up for the difference in health you lose
Just throwing in my 2 cents
