Pew pew blue lazarz!!!!!

If you ever hear of a shadow priest 'melting face', it is a reference to this spell, and the fact that the icon looks like a melting face. It looks like a channeled beam while it's being cast. It is one of the defining spells Shadow Priests use (our two other direct damage spells are both on cooldowns, so we use this between cooldowns and refreshing debuffs).

x 1.1 (Darkness) x 1.1 (SW) x 1.15 (SF) x 1.05 (Misery) =
x 1.461075

With 1000 + Spell Damage, Mind Flay would do 1633 damage, and 544 damage every second.

The spelldamage coefficient of Mind Flay is reduced by a "snare"-tax.
The calculation is:

(3 / 3.5)*(2/3)= 0,5714 or 57%

This and the fact Shadow Priests scale awful with Spell Crit are the main causes for them to be at the bottom of potential damage output.

A handy macro when using Mind Flay:

#showtooltip Mind Flay
/cast Mind Flay

This will make you able to spam the ability without wasting any mana.
(because while you are channeling, it cannot recast the spell)

I have been leveling a Shadow Priest using some of the advice in this thread. Once I got Mind Flay (at 25), I started trying to follow the sequence specified in the section "The Pulls". Note that it says that if you start casting Mind Flay at max range, you should be midway through the third cast when the mob reaches you. I am not finding this to be true. In fact, starting a max range, I just barely get the first cast done. I don't see the 4 extra yards from Shadow Reach making a huge difference here.

Is the linked thread just wrong about this, or am I not getting something?

There was a face. It was longer than the average face. Then it was melted.

Does Mind Flay recieve bonus dmg at the same way as a spell with 3 sec casting speed? or does it recieve the full bonus?

Kommentar von Thottbot

meh 500 damage over 3 sec?
lol a priest was hitting me for 500 each tick ;)
spell damage FTW

Kommentar von Thottbot

If Mind Flay would deal 1500/tick you could kill anything in under 15 secs lol.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Its possible to do 1.5k ticks easy. Go to heroic mechanar, get teh 300% damage increase from the boss, and then use mindflay. Our shadow priest was main healing that guy because of vampiric embrace/ touch (i can never remember which is which).

Kommentar von Thottbot

no lol i ment 500/tick not 1500/tick...maybe i was over...over-something but it was atleast 300-400 damage/tick :-)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Our shadow priest in the raid can mind flay for around 600 damage before shadow weaving. Ouch.

I dueled him once... in the end, there was only a puddle of face left on the ground. GG.

Kommentar von Thottbot

There are only two things to be aware of about this spell:

1. In PVE - Interruptions. Snag shadow affinity for groups, fear/shield/martyr proc when alone.
2. In PVP - Anti-snares or anti-movement impediment thingies (like gnome racial, insignia trinkets, etc) will 'dispel' the mind flay in addition to the standard getting out of range and the regular priest/pally dispel.

That being said, a mana efficiency over 6 dmg to 1 mana is pretty freaking awesome, eh? (w/624 shadow damage anyways) And the hp/mp returns, oh my! Cast vampirics on curator and wait for an evo, and mind flay is efficient enough to literally pay for itself in mana returns!

Kommentar von Thottbot

I have a question(go figure). I have a 34 priest, a 70 lock as my main. I'm trying to find a good spell rotation both for leveling up and engame... any tips from spriests out there would be much appriciated.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I have for a long time considered this spell very efficient for arena, but i might be wrong.

Mindflay cannot crit
mindflay is not a dot

Resil should have no effect whatsoever, so wouldnt it be like the most efficient damage spell in highrating arena?
