Svin Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Character Name: Svin Battle Tag: Svinski#1661 Class and Spec: Priest Shadow/Disc specs. I currently play Shadow for both PvE and PvP, but Disc when I get Heroic healer bags. World of Warcraft Armory: http://us.battle.net...r/Svin/advanced World of Logs - Heroic 25m Lei Shi - http://worldoflogs.c.../?s=4123&e=4525 Heroic 25m Wind Lord - http://worldoflogs.c.../?s=4879&e=5258 Heroic 25m Stone Guard - http://worldoflogs.c...ne/?s=153&e=425 About Me - Hello, my name is Jessie. I am 20 years old (21 in August!) and living in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I am currently studying Accounting (I know, how boring) and in my Junior year. On top of being a college student, I am also raising a new puppy I got a little over a month ago. His name is Acero and he is 12 weeks old right now. He is a purebred Siberian Husky and probably the cutest little puppy you will ever see. If anyone wants to see pictures of him, I would love to show you guys! I have been playing World of Warcraft on and off since it has been released back in November of 2004. I raided on my priest back in Vanilla with a guild called Ministry on the server Kel'Thuzad. I raided with this guild for Blackwing Lair and a little bit of AQ40 before I took a break. I came back for BC and raided with the same guild for Karazhan and the beginning of Serpentshrine Cavern. After SSC, I took a break until WoTLK, in which I transferred my priest over to Malorne to play with my father and some of his friends. I raided with my father's guild on my Death Knight for the beginning of WoTLK until I once again took a break. I came back to play Cataclysm on my priest and raided with my father's guild on Malorne and went 1/13H in T11. After T11, I started to raid on my Holy Paladin with a different guild during FL and ended up going 6/7H with them when FL was current content. After going 1/8H in T13, my guild broke up on Malorne. I put up a post on the guild recruitment forums and was asked to join The Panic Attacks. I transferred over to Stormreaver back in January of 2012 and raided with The Panic Attacks until the end of Dragon Soul. I stopped raiding in the beginning of MoP, but then picked back up raiding with The Panic Attacks in December of 2012. With The Panic Attacks, I went 10/16H in T14 content. I have raided a few times with South of Heaven back in Normal Heart of Fear and Terrace of Endless Spring. I was filling in one night because Yasung asked me too and ended up meeting Ashin as well as a few others in the raid team. I love to PvP whenever I have the chance to. I just love to melt peoples face and watch them die as a shadow priest. When you multi-dot everything in PvP, you just feel good including when everyone just all of the sudden drops over. I did not do much PvP back in Season 12, but I did a few arenas to try and get some gear. I went 1900+ in RBGs back in Season 11 and would like to pick PvP back up as well as doing PvE. Rotation and Class Specifics - When it comes to raiding, I get all of my specifics for my class from http://howtopriest.com/. I believe it is the best site for shadow priests to get their information. As far as stats go, I am currently running with Hit>Haste(10,437 minimum)>Int>Crit>Mastery. I am currently using an addon called ReforgeLite that does all of my reforging for me. Since I cannot hit over 10,437 haste rating with just reforging, I am currently gemming mostly haste gems until my gear level gets high enough to reach the haste breakpoints that I need. As far as my spec goes, I am currently running with Psyfiend, Body and Soul, Solace and Insanity, Angelic Bulwark, Power Infusion (or Twist of Fate - depending on the fight, usually for fights with a lot more adds or a longer burn phase) and then a mixture of all three talents, Halo/Cascade/Divine Star. Halo is better for fights in which I can stay in a spot 25 yds. away from the boss to maximize the damage from this ability. Cascade is better for fights in which there are a lot of adds that a spread out around a large room. Divine Star is ideal for fights in which I have to stack near a boss as well as giving good healing to the raid to help out the healers. As far as my rotation goes, I am currently starting off boss fights with ideally 2 Shadow orbs so I can open up with Mind Blast/Halo and then apply Shadow Word:Pain followed by Vampiric Touch/Shadow Fiend. By this time, I will have 3 Shadow Orbs and use Devouring Plague and use Mind Flay: Insanity for the duration of the Devouring Plague. I will use Mind Blast and Halo off of cooldown. I reapply my dots ideally around 2-3 seconds before they fall off, but sometimes I am a few milliseconds off and let them fall off before I reapply them. This is something that I am working on improving and I feel that once I improve on this skill, my DPS can be more maxed out for boss fights. I use Mind Flay as a filler until I get 3 Shadow Orbs again to reapply Devouring Plague to use Mind Flay: Insanity again. I am currently popping Power Infusion right before I use Devouring Plague for my Mind Flay: Insanity burn. I will then use Shadow Word: Death when the boss is below 20%. With addons, I am using an addon called Shadow Priest Dot Timer that shows the time left on my dots, as well as the CD on Mind Blast and Power Infusion. I also use Gnosis cast bars to show the ticks of my Mind Flay. When it comes to fights with AoE, I will usually Mind Sear if there are 5+ mobs up in a confined area. If the mobs are all spread out, I will multi-dot up as many mobs as I can. I will at least try to SW:P all of the mobs because it is more damage than Vampiric Touch. I am currently thinking about race changing yet again back to troll due to the racial being number one for Shadow Priest. With being a troll, I will be able to alternate between Power Infusion and Berserking to get even more damage from Mind Flay: Insanity, since undead is currently not giving me a DPS boost. I am just trying to decide if I want to roll female or male troll, but who knows. I might eventually play both because I race change this character all the time!

Svin Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Yeah I told Ashin that was next on my list. The one I had just broke and I haven't had the need to use one yet. I will probably go and get one tomorrow after class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synnical Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 For more specific critique on your app, why do you like playing a spriest? Which utilities can you provide that other classes cannot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svin Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Priest was just the first class I have ever played when I started the game. When I started playing a priest, I wanted to be a healer, but then I tried out shadow and loved it. I have been playing shadow ever since the end of Wrath and haven't gone back to healing in PvE since then. I have tried other dot classes, such as a Warlock and Boomkins. I felt that Warlocks had way too many dots for me to keep up and I felt that Boomkin had too little dots. I feel that Priest was perfectly fine in the middle. I also like that Priests have the utility for some good offheals on the side. I am currently glyphed to use Renew and Prayer of Mending in Shadow Form and I see myself using those abilities a lot to help out healers in the raid. I like how a Priest can heal while doing damage with Vampiric Embrace and giving healers mana as well as increasing their mana pool for a period of time.
