That is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. Go run that idea by some of the people at shadowpriest.com and you'll get laughed right off the site. Spellsurge has no place on a spriests weapon plain and simple.Scaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01814551113476479830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434954756598017230.post-3626704218457777312008-07-18T09:55:00.000+01:002008-07-18T09:55:00.000+01:00I'd completely forgotten about the patch changes. ...I'd completely forgotten about the patch changes.

Swapping out weapons based on a proc cooldown just got significantly trickier.<BR/><BR/>I use outfitter to swap into Healing gear whenever I come out of Shadowform, so the interrupt has been driving me crazy when I auto-pop to cast a heal. (I am not a button-spammer, so having to hit a button more than once makes me grind my teeth.)apanthropesphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737643841213452002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434954756598017230.post-88964075812567366462008-07-17T16:15:00.000+01:002008-07-17T16:15:00.000+01:00Ouch!Even I know about co-efficients but I really ...Ouch!<BR/><BR/>Even I know about co-efficients but I really don't think it matters in the context. It was just a throw-away comment, surely you aren't going to hold me to such exacting standards!?<BR/><BR/>Point taken about T5, but I can only go on my experience so far. There's nothing in Kara you can't get through with a pot and a shadow priest. Any mana you have left when the boss dies is surplus.Merlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268596977879215079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434954756598017230.post-86029495482839341422008-07-17T14:38:00.000+01:002008-07-17T14:38:00.000+01:00Two things wrong with your posts:First off, losing...Two things wrong with your posts:<BR/>First off, losing 40+Dmg does not mean your attacks will lose 40 damage each. Each spell has a coefficient based upon cast time and/or tick duration. Mind blast, for example, is a 1.5 second cast so it only scales with damage by 42.86&.So you'll be losing about 20 damage for the mindblast. <BR/><BR/>Additionally, mana is easily a raid killer. For example, a Healadin attempting to heal through a new BT boss while lacking crit gear (Since t5 instances are mp5 based) who has to spam a down-ranked holy light could be Oom fast, and thus the tank could lose the fill-in heals necessary for a successful downing.Odinxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099320929609441325noreply@blogger.com
