Mind Games.
I’m not understanding how this ability works. Mostly from a pvp perspective. How do you know when to time it? I did notice schism synergize is used before casting it and that’s all I know. Wowhead description didn’t really expand on it much.
It’s potent and destabilizing enough that I will plan on casting it more or less on cool down. The CD is short. Get as many uses as you can.
The debuff is dispellable so mind games will be best used when the enemy healer is in cc or to bait dispel letting you get a full fear on the DPS or something. If you can’t do that just sending on CD is fine too with a 45s cd.
I don’t see schism mind games being a thing at higher MMR either. There’s no way people will let a priest cast that many shadow spells reliably since you should be trying to get mind blast off cd as well.
What does it do?
I find schism cast is hard to pull off when there are so many globals i need for group heals.
If you’re able to get schism and mindgames off immediately the person attacking you must be moving very slow. I like mindgames as a short cast or when I’m worried I might get first round of silence. Its a nice “fake” cast in a sense and even if it doesn’t go off you can switch to purge -->penance.
I have noticed some people dying super fast from schism mind games or they will wait it out, which I kind of break even with and heal myself up during that time. I would like to look at my recount to see how it’s doing the damage. Been doing a mind control til they get max distance so I can pull it off. I stacked haste. I think that I’m getting better results if they are almost in need of a heal.
