I’ve been watching a few videos on spriests in m+ and I’ve noticed one thing that I can’t seem to replicate. Their shadowy apparitions are just billowing out by insane numbers. On medium trash packs I just see it going crazy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQHXIBz8LD8&ab_channel=BigLu << At 7.45 seconds it starts.
But when I have done similar if not bigger pulls I am only getting them in small spurts… Spamming the abilities that give the shadowy apparitions. What am I doing wrong?
Make fun of me if you want lol but I picked shadow priest because of videos like that where there are tonsssss of those shadowy apparitions flying towards mods haha.
Archon generates a lot more of them than voidweaver due to casting void bolt and having the energy cycle hero talent, as well as tormented spirits.
Dude is making people wait while he goes through all his gear and sets up UI lol. Like come on man. Take care of your gear before grouping and use solo dungeon queue to setup Omni.
What I want to know is what is the scrolling boss mechanic timer?
I’ve been using archon and talented the same as his. I just get about 1/4 of as many flyin out as he does and I don’t know why 
Apparitions are only summoned for mobs that have VT. My guess is you either don’t have VT on as many mobs as you think, or you’re not casting the Apparition generating spells fast enough, or both.
Shadow crash can be finicky to hit all targets. And on bigger pulls people will hard cast VT on a few before SC to get the rest when grouped up better, so everything gets VT.
I am usually spam casting VT on mobs that my SC hasn’t gotten, then I make sure to keep MB on cd, VB on cd MF:I when procced and Void Torrent once all mobs are afflicted. My damage will sky rocket, and spirits usually cover my screen.
**edit: I forgot to mention keeping DP on 1 or 2 mobs helps too if you can maintain the insanity.
I didnt watch vid, but my apps start flowing when i spam mind flay insanities. If you are playing Archon apps fly out when you use MFI, so if you have 3 or four stacked up and you spam those and DPs and instant cast MP you can get a lot going.
