Some ideas for 2.4Follow

My wishes for shadow priests would be something like:

-Silence duration reduced to 4 secs, but the cooldown is also reduced to 25 secs.
-Shadow Resilience now reduces all damage taken by 10%/20% for 10 secswhenever you'll be affected by a Stun or Incapacitate effect.
-Shadowform now reduces all damage taken by 15%.
-Psychic Scream can proc Blackout.
-If Vampiric Touch is dispelled, it will instantly transfer 1800/2300/2600 mana from the dispeller to the caster and silence it for 3 secs.
-Improved Power Word: Shield now also reduces the chance Power Word: Shield will be dispelled by 33%/66%/100%.
-Focused Mind now also reduces the duration of interrupts and silence effects on you by 15%/25%/35%.
-Inner Fire now increases your spell resistances by an amount equal with your level(Like Mind Control level scale). Improved Inner Fire will now reduce the chance Inner Fire will be dispelled by 33%/66%/100%.
-Backlash damage from Shadow Word: Death removed.
-Mind Flay range increased to 30 yds.
-Shadow Affinity now also reduce the chance your offensive shadow spells will be dispelled by an aditional 5%/10%/15%/20%/25%. (Stacks with Silent Resolve).

What do you guys think?

I like giving my views on things when people do this. Of course, I have nothing to compare it to beyond what the game is now, but things should be balanced all the way to 80 and not just at 80, so I think that's fairly reasonable.

Silence duration: I'll take long duration and long cooldown over short and short. It gives you more time completely shut down a healer in the two smaller arenas, and burn someone to zero while the healer is Cycloned/Polied/Silenced/CS's/whatever.
Shadow Resilience: Now that I really like, though only the Stun really matters because after Incapacitate any damage will break the effect.
Shadowform: Not a huge deal I don't think, but it would still be nice.
VT: Very overpowered. Not only give you mana, but drain it, and then silence? It would have the be in the region of giving back maybe 100/200/300 mana, tops, in order to not be grossly overpowered. It would be nice to have something like that, though our spells tend to be fairly dispel-protected anyway since we can stack so damn many debuffs so fast.
Shield: Reduced chance of dispelling would be nice, but Blizz doesn't like to have 100% dispel resistance it doesn't seem. It would be more like 25/50/75.
Focused Mind: The amount is too high, considering how required Focused Mind is anywho, and that shammies get a similar talent that is only 30% AND has no other effects.
Inner Fire: *Something* needs to be done with it. Mana regen added always seemed like one of the better ideas.
SWD: No. Removing the backlash is too good.
Mind Flay: Don't think it would just be increased, but I'd kill for a talent that boosted the range up to 30 yards base and give interrupt protection along with it.
Shadow Affinity: PvP'ers probably wouldn't like it here, they'd just prefer Silent Resolve be less useless. I'd go for that too, since getting Silent Resolve means you're not able to get both iManaBurn and a few points in Mental Agility, and still get VT.


EDIT: Woops, missed the Psychic Scream. Not a stun, then they're standing right next to me when they trinket out. It needs a 2-4sec horror effect at the beginning so that trinket is the only thing that gets them out of it, and then WotF/Fear Ward/whatever gets rid of the last 4-6sec of fear.

I think Shadowform should increase your Shadow Resist by an amount realtive to your level.
