Shadow Priest Mana Issues

#1 » Post by Remix » 14 Jun 2017 05:38

Right now just buffing a 5 man group with our 3 buffs is taking 70% mana roughly. Having to sit and drink after each pack and feeling useless to the group for the next pull doesn't feel right. I know we are suppose to be having some mana probs but this is kinda ridiculous right now. I know its still early and with gear it might get better... just wondering if this has been brought up with the higher ups?

Mostly it sounds like you're not too well equipped with MP5 gear.

This is the same for Discipline and Holy Priests. We can't focus on SP gear, because we won't be mana efficient if we do. So we have to ignore the bonus from SP gear and focus entirely on MP5 - especially during raiding.

Casting prayer of fortitude, spirit, and shadow protection are spells you cast out of combat. These also affect healers the same way.

We are waiting to see 25 man raid data before we make more changes for classes, but we have some things already planned in case certain specs need help.

However, If you have information supporting your argument which is of an objective nature, feel free to share it now.

Basically if you have a healing spec, you will have a healing set. That healing set should have many pieces with mp5 and using the Equipment Manager (from Menu->Interface->Features) can swap out pure dmg for mp5. Yes, this hinders dps output, but currently this is the only remedy within our power. With out mp5 gear (and in addition) I would also suggest trying out different talents to take advantage of mana regen from disc tree and don't forget 2 min reduction CD on Shadowfiend.
