Shadow Priest

@Pasterke

Hey, I've been using this for a while now, and I'm glyphed with the spirit tap glyph. I've noticed that I'm still having to drink for mana an awful lot. NOt as much as before, but still about 1/3rd to 1/2 the time, instead of 4/5th the time (as with standard Singular shadow/cs). I have all heirlooms except rings and mana gaining trinkets. It seems that my priest is killing things before it can get the SW: Death spell off. Seems it's using Mind Blast, Vampiric, then Mind Flay which kills the mob. It does get SW: Death off on mobs with higher health pools, but not all the time. Could it be because of all the heirlooms? I also have a glyph that adds an extra 10% damage to Mind Flay. Could that be a problem as well? It worked really well before I hit 50, but from 50 on to my current level of 58 it's been drinking twice as much as it used to.
 
my priest keeps using power word shield on herself, how can I stop that, or are priests in your shadow.cc file supposed to shield themself while pulling?

The standard singular has a configuration window. Turn it off if u don't need it.
The pre-buffs are not in this CC but in another one. I edited only the Shadow.cs.

SW: D is only used if the mob's health <= 25%. If the mob is on lets say 28% and MB is of cd, with heirlooms it's possible that MB kill the mob and if u have orbs, the chance to finish him with MB is higher. I never pretend that he don't need to drink with this CC, but with the original CC he was drinking after every mob.
Not evryone is lvling with heirlooms and maybe you don't need VT, but for those without heirlooms, VT is a very good skill.
I lvled one with this CC without heirlooms, and I can't say that he needs to drink much. Normally I should rewrite this CC and add a GUI for settings, but I haven't the time for now.

Standard mana drink is on 65% in the singular. Lower that in the GUI and he will drink less.

I already turned it off under "Class Configuration" in "Class Specific" .... But she still keeps shielding herself
 
Why are you raging so hard against the Shield, anyway ?

Shield costs you very little Mana, can heal you for the amount absorbed, and at lower levels makes you almost invincible, thus saving you more Mana because you don't need to cast Healing spells on yourself all the time and then sit, eat and drink.

TL;DR - Shield is your friend and you should want it up, all the time.

first I am not raging my friend ;)
second, using Shield costs a lot of mana! At level 65 it costs 680 mana, thats twice a mind blast! And the time you sit, eat and drink is wasted time because in that time you can kill one more mob ;)

so no, PW: Shield is nice, but for leveling total unimportant.
 
how i disable it to use PW:S in the priester standart settings ? :S
sry for my english ^^

My toon has full heirlooms, and I can think of several times where PW: Shield has saved her life because sometimes the bot will try and pull one mob, but instead an entire group will come running and it will be fighting against 4 to 5 mobs. I think if any changes are made, it should be that you can set PW: Shield to be cast at a certain health percentage or number of mobs fighting you, but don't take it out completely.
 
After using a heal that bot will not activate Shadowform again which obviously reduces damage greatly.

You could try using it together with this
http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/plugins/leveling/54490-spd-shadow-priests-delight.html

Something i used when i leveled my shadow priest, i dont think you need to bother using the shadow.cs file that i uploaded, but the plugin itself will help with some stuff like healing, going shadowform, should not move if casting mind blast as a pull, better use of Shadow Word: Death, use Dispersion out of combat. Stuff like that

Or it should at least

@Pasterke

I've noticed that it no longer uses PW: Shield at all. It doesn't matter what I set the health percent for it doesn't cast the spell anymore. I saw two places (that I can remember) where the percentage for PW: Shield can be set, and I changed both of them. No dice. Toon runs shieldless all the time now.

When his health drop below 50% he should use PW: S. My lvl 47 priest, no heirlooms, use the shield when he's <= 50%
 
everytime my character leveled up, the pulling distance went back to 25 yards.
is there a way to keep it at 40 yards ?

thanks
 
works very well, thank u (im on 81 now. started on lvl 1 ;) )

had some mana probs till lvl 40, i guess.......im just having the same issue with the range, but i think its a mistake of the lvl-profile
 
Using the 20th June edit at level 52 with no Heirlooms and rocking it now that it doesn't stop to drink every 3-4 mobs.

No PW:Shield until 50% health makes all the difference purely due to mana usage. Haven't actually fallen below 50% health since mobs the same level and 1-2 higher than me are close to death before they reach me so not sure if it kicks in or not though i am sure it does :)

So far so good. Nice one.
 
im running this on a level 80 Shadow Priest in Hjyal works very well thanks for your contribution
 
works shitty on lvl 82 :( he always gets out of shadowform.....will try out the SPD-plugin

why isnt this cc using mind sear (aoe)? this would have saved my ass several times on lvl 81+ :cool:
