  1. If u have inscrutable quantum device its extra important to use void eruption on cd since their cd line up. If youre eating food youll be getting crit or mastery or haste if you get haste you can save the power infusion cast and if you get crit on say sludgefirst down phase ohhhh boy the damage gets up there

  2. Is it wrong that I macro in on use trinket + PI + void form? It sounds like you’re not recommending this. Also why not cast shadow crash inside void form, won’t it do more damage?

  3. That opener genuinely makes no sense, because everyone tends to run Hungering Void in tandem with Dissonant Echoes regardless of the situation, so youre effectively losing on 10% damage on both the VT/Crash, Shadowfiend and subsequent DPs and Mindblasts by not popping your Voidform earlier. Effectively 10% less for the whole opener. From what Ive seen on most Shadow Priests on Draenor EU, most of us build up with VT/SWP at the start, followed by a VT to hit over 50 insanity asap, then a DP and straight into Voidform + Infusion + SF and spam Voidbolts on CD to refresh dots and max out and by the end of VF use mindgames to max out dmg followed by VT which by that time is usually off-cd, to still use the extra damage granted by VF.
    Wouldnt this be overall more reasonable?

  4. Am I the only one who played a lot of M+ and stoped casting vampiric touch on more then 1-3 mobs? All that waisted time on vampiric touch in M+ hurts me. Tested it a lot and you are not doing more total dmg like this, even in 14s.

  5. One thing that you didnt mention here and I also didnt see you utilize in your Raiding VoD's: PwS gives insanity, when you use it. So it is beneficial to spend all your sanity before downtime phases and then ramp it back up again by spamming PwS on the group. Shriekwing or Blood Council come to mind.

  6. whats your opinion on shadow word death? i think unless youre talented into that one talent its pretty disappointing. cd ridicolously high, doesnt reset when it kills a target, doesnt grant insanity, self dmg. i think at least one of those flaws should be removed to make it a bit more worthwhile. on that note i think shadow especially has gotten way too many new abilities with shadowlands: PI, SWD, DP, covenant abilities, void torrent and sometimes searing nightmare. im running out of convenient keybinds

  7. I'm kyrian and single target rotation is ok with me I got that now and get used to it but when it comes to multi target im m+, I really dont know what to do with ascended nova. With pelagos yeah its cool you got mastery buff for using it but Im not sure using Ascended nova instead of searing nightmare and all that stuff. How many targets and what order should I use ascended nova in 3+ target?

  8. Damn, I still feel like I have some ramp-up in M+ I am about 200 il and running 6 and 7's and I see other classes just nuking packs down before I even have it all set up with VE and searing. We are never gonna be bursty huh? Or it is most likely my poor play haha.

  9. Really great video! If I like doing mythics is it a requirement I use Searing Nightmare? I really like Misery and don't want to add another 2 buttons to my rotation (SW:pain and searing nightmare). Is there an alternative for dpsing large packs or am I going to lag behind?

  10. Just came by to say i enjoy all your vids about Spriests. im pretty new to priest and how they work and why they work. do you have any recommended youtube channels for the other specs available for us? my friends have dps and tank specs but our healer is pretty flakey most of the time.
