[PAID] [Priest] Insanity - An Advanced Honorbuddy Shadow Priest Routine [PvE/PvP]

Love the new dot weaving. Should I not be using SW glyph?

 

What do you mean?
It's SUPPOSED to use mind spike before dotting and then applying dp and using insanity. It should look like: mb(4th orb) > mind spike > swp > vt > mb(5th orb) > dp > insanity.

The entire reason for the mind spike is because if you don't do it, then you'll have over a second left on mb after you apply dots and the cr will just wait around for mb so it can get the 5th orb.

You're going to want it after the latest build is pushed through because it's a major increase when used as a gcd to get an extra mb and insanity channel in after the 2nd.

 

So, what exactly does burst mode do,sounds like something i would want, but it is disable as default.,and can i disable the audible it does? (burst mode on,burst mode off),it gets annoying.
I'm sure it's been explained before, but i just did not feel like reading through 100's of post ,sorry.
Thank you.

 

So is this the optimum build for single target with the new changes?
Glyphs: Reflective Shield, Vampiric Embrace, SWD
Talents: Body and Soul, Insanity, ToF, Halo, CoP

 

Wait until next build is pushed for swd if you're using it with dotweave. It's already integrated for standard.
I don't know how well reflected shield will perform using the cr. That glyph should be activated manually based on mechanics. If you use it with the cr then it will cast every time you move making you go oom.

 

Burst mode is aimed at PvP. You set up cooldown abilities to be used on burst, and then toggle burst mode on when you wish to nuke the target.

Cooldowns hotkey is aimed at PvE, to allow disabling cooldowns when approaching bosses to ensure they're ready for when you need them.

It varies on fight to fight... HowToPriest.com ? View forum - T17 Boss/Talent Discussion

Looks like pretty solid choices though. Body and Soul + Reflective Shield go nice together.

 

Do you add encounter specific logic? Reading through some of those threads they makes suggestions that the routine wouldn't do like pre-dotting Brakenspore and the big add just before the spore shooters spawn and then making sure to have SW on one while DOT weaving the other. Strats like that might help the DPS loss I felt on that fight from all the target swapping.

 

Hey - I do add encounter specific logic for stuff that needs to be added... for instance target casts immunity buffs, interrupting/silencing spells, targets shouldn't be dotted etc.

For a fight like Brakenspore it's probably safer to stick with CoP Standard rotation.

 

or same lazy things like swd or insta mb while moving (for glyphed or talent)

 

Hi,
Can you increase the simplified Chinese version？ Many skills name I don't understand.

 

Hey millz, really loving the routine. But recently I've come up with an issue. Our raid leader a healer priest was on Mass Dispelling melee duty during Ko'Ragh but he complained that it took too much mana and that I should do it. So I bound my Mass Dispel Mouseover to Ctrl-Z and every time the Expel Magic- Fire buff came I spammed the macro as hard as i could but every try the dispel came out too late or interfered with the routine somehow. Is there some way I can do this faster?

 

Hey Millz, I noticed for the dot weaving rotations it was using devouring plague even when insanity was up

 

Aren't there Mass Dispel mouseover and Mass Dispel target hotkeys? I can't check now but I thought there was. If not, try making a macro with /stopcasting /cast Mass Dispel and then bind it to Ctrl-X and make sure your Enyo toggle is Ctrl-X. Then just hit it, click to dispel and hit it again to re-enable the routine. It'd be nice if we had a Mass Dispel on mouseover hotkey if we don't already.

Edit: Misread. You meant the routine hotkey and not a "macro".

 

Great Profile,

Few thing I have noticed while using it in highmaul HC today however.

The rotation at the 4ORB phase, it casts mindspike then SWP and then VT 2 TIMES. Plenty of other spells (especially in encounters with adds or twins even, halo or something should be cast instead of the default doubleVT to kill time.

Also the way it casts DP before MB for the Dotweave phase. is it not more logical to MB and then DP? more insanity instead of cutting the insanity after 1 tick to cast MB, seems like a big waste of GCDs!

Is this because my haste is not around the right level to work effectively with this rotation, do you have recommended stat areas to aim for. I am currently at 20% haste and your rotation seems to fall behind from time to time. I am using the paid version btw.

Overall, really awesome profile. Thanks a lot Millz

 

I need to find a new solution to handle this, but it is something I'm aware needs doing. It'll take quite a lot of time to do it though, and I've got a rather large list of things that need doing, so it's not a very high priority at the moment, sorry.

Press and hold the keys until it casts

Hmm post a log file please. It ignores the buff once it's less than 0.3s, to prevent attempting to cast Insanity but actually casting Mind Flay instead.

Hey - VTx2 - Yeah saw a log earlier where this had happened, will be slightly increasing the re-cast delay on this to try and prevent it.

It should be doing something like this:

MB (4th orb) > Mind Spike > SWP > VT > MB (5th orb) > DP > Insanity > MB (3rd orb) > SWD > DP > Insanity > MB(Clipped - 1st orb) > Insanity

I'm not sure about the stat weight cut off points, sorry. I know it doesn't play too nice with high haste levels though.

 

Thank you for your reply, would you mind shooting me a private message and let me know if there is a workaround i could use for the meantime whilst you work on it?

 

Hey Millz, I believe this routine is awesome im a healer mainspec, but i use this for offspec because there is no way i reach a dps like this on my own!

Now a question, when im moving, it doesnt seem to do anything. Can you make it so it casts mind blast on CD at least, even when moving? (with CoP its instant so). Same with shadow word: death and pain, mindbender ect.

Looking forward to your response!

 

No workaround sorry. Unless you manually cancel the second VT from casting once it's started.

Hey - Can you post a log file please? It should be casting MB/SWD when moving.

 

Can someone inbox me there shadow dot weaving setting. will pay for them

 

Insanity is not loading as a routine even though I have purchased the product.
