I don’t know about you guys, but as a healer main, I find NL Spriest to be disgustingly annoying. Quite possibly the one singular spec I hate the most.
3 different instantaneous CC’s on short CDs (ranged stun, ranged silence, aoe fear, + an incap if they are panda). Not to mention void volley RNG bullcrap.
Literal pet class somehow, rattling mage doing way too much dmg on his own
Psyfiend getting buffed and taking multiple globals to kill for some reason
Spec never having to hardcast anymore with Damnation talent being a thing. Imagine if afflic lock had an ability that put agony + corrupt + ua all instantly. Then spends its free globals spam dispeling you no punishment. Meanwhile enh goes oom from purging right away.
VT damage is now insanely overloaded. Regular avg ticks for 5-7k. Crit ticks as high as 11-12k FOR A DOT.
Insane amounts of utility, basically arms warrior tier but more annoying. Swap, grip, near-insta mass, etc.
Majority of my games are into spriests at this point. They need to move more of this classes damage into mind blast/mind flay.
Probably because it doesn’t outright kill the faces of most players in the same way that specs like Retribution, Marksmanship, Arms, Windwalker, Fire and Demo do. Relatively immobile, susceptible to being trained, newbie melee eat newbie casters, etc. It’s just a more subtle spec.
As a healer main, I don’t have enough hours in a day to complain about all the stuff I hate, but NL Spriest isn’t even on my radar compared to some things–as much as I despise Spriest keeping me from casting for like 1/3 of a match.
Definitely not. Remove GFade, fast MD is dumb, Psyfiend needs to go back to what it was. Spam dispel is also terrible, wish it wasn’t a thing.
Moving damage into a channel from a dot spec is a stupid idea, especially with all the micro CCs and interrupts this game has. Damnation is a 45 second CD, Shadow still has to cast, the bigger issue is Unfurling Darkness.
Wait, are people talking about Vampiric Touch or Void Torrent when they talk about VT? When he mentioned it hitting hard I instantly assume Void Torrent. Or is this about Unfurling Darkness talent?
That’s nuts then. I’ve never seen the dot hit for that much, which is why I automatically assumed this VT was Void Torrent instead, which I can totally see hitting for that much.
Spriest have a talent that when they cast Vampiric Touch, their next vampiric touch is instant and it does the damage upfront (the dot duration) and then still applies the dot. That’s when you see the big VT crits it’s not the dot it’s the talent.
