Now when I first started Priest, I picked all out Shadow and mowed things down. However, after the patch I began putting more and more into Holy with a few in Disc.
The way I seem to kill things:
Holy Fire
Devouring Plague
Power Word: Pain
Mind Blast
Holy Fire
Wand 3-4x until dead.
I'm level 48 and this kills anything up to level 51 pretty swiftly. Sometimes a few extra wand shots, but that's it. I've not once gone OOM while questing, and I don't bother with Mana pots or drinks.
So far my build is this here.
As you can see, 8/17/14.
I realize a lot of people love Shadowform and Mind Flay, but my curiosity is piqued based on the massive power of Holy Fire. My Mind Blast, Rank7 does 350-371 for 199mana. Holy Fire, Rank6 does 473-601+98-105 over 7sec for 145mana... way less mp, WAY more damage.
The Disc is for survivability, the +def. If that's worthless, please let me know. With it up, I gain 1370 armor putting me at 2132.
Here's my gear.
I'm stuck. EVERYONE keeps telling me Shadow ftw! But Holy Fire, especially at down to 1.5sec casting is doing such obscene damage, with the DoT adding more.
And last question, would Shadowform boost DoT damage?(PW:P, DP)
*edit*
Added build. lol.
