Mind Flay has gotten a revamped animation, looks very cool. It seems like all beam effects have been updated, as Drain Life looks similar, but green.

Commentaire de L33tsauce

Mind Flay can now crit, meaning that spell crit is now a very worthwhile stat for shadow priests.
Also, the new animation does look incredibly badass.

Mind Flay Ticks can crit.

Commentaire de 115953

When used in conjunction with Inner Focus, will the +25% crit chance apply to all three ticks of Mind Flay or just the first one?

Commentaire de 187591

Wow i just realized how incredibly weak this spell is it does 588 damage OVER 3 seconds not per second as i assumed before...

anyway why is this does shadow give a lot more % to damage than other damage spell trees or is this still unbalanced due to the transfer of spriest going from utility dps to real dps with some raid utility?

ya before the 3.0 patch. as a shadow preist. mind flay was just a filler inbetween mind blasts and SW death. having pain up all the time and VE.

because the improved SW pain no longer increases the duration of pain, the pain and suffering talent will be really good too. making mind flay still a good filler in your rotation.

for raid bosses, the way i did it pre 3.0. was ve>mindblast>death>pain>mindflay>mind blast>flay>flay>flay>mind blast>ve>death>flay>ve>pain .. etc...so mind flay this got used alot for me for filler while the 2 main ones were on cooldown.

now that mind flay renews the duration of pain with the pain and suffering talent. its even a better skill to get because you save the mana on casting pain every 28 seconds or whatever it was with the old talent system

imo, now that this can crit, this is a very good talent point if 1) you are high enough level for shadowform and even pain and suffering.
and
2) you are determined to go down the shadow tree to get the full 51 points in shadow atleast

if you want to go disc or holy, dont get mind flay for dps when u go questing/killing stuff. the holy dmg spells are enough

edit: while solo killing mobs. the movement speed decrease is great. your enemy will be already 50% life by the time it even gets to you . then with PW shield, you dont even lose health

Mind flay is currently bugged, where it will resist like a binary spell, but wont show it missed in the combat log. If it does hit, then it can resist like a non-binary spell with partial resist, which will carry over all 3 ticks, instead of all 3 ticks being counted separate. It also will not start the first tick until halfway into the channel, and the last two ticks will occur at the end very quickly.

Overall a very bad bug.

Good news, Glyph of SW:P goes well with this, increasing the damage done by 10%, while Twisted Faith will increase it by another 10%.

While not being a bad base spell, Mind Flay gets a massive boost from many talents in the Shadow Tree, making this quite a powerful spell indeed once fully updated. Consider:

+3% Chance to hit
-6% Mana Cost

https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=17323

+4 yard range

https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=15332

up to +10% Damage (when soloing this will probably average to roughtly 6%)

https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=33215

-15% Mana Cost

https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=33371

https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=47582

Refreshes Shadow Word:Pain

Additionally, all Shadow Priests should have this Glyph:

+10% damage

Another post to follow with a little number crunching...

Putting it all together, here's some calulations for a priest with 3863 base mana (http://www.wowwiki.com/Base_mana). This also assumes that the Mind Flay Coefficient is 81% (http://www.wowwiki.com/Spell_power_coefficient)

This calculates average DPS for

A priest with 0% base crit chance, 0 Spell Power, no talents
A priest with 10% base crit chance, 1000 Spell Power, no talents
A priest with 10% base crit chance, 1000 Spell Power, all talents and glyph

Case 1: 0% crit chance, 0 Spell Power:
588 damage aver 3 seconds, 9% Base Mana
= 588 total damage over 3 seconds
Equals:

196 dps (damage per second)
347 mana
1.67 dpm (damage per mana)

Case 2: 10% crit chance, 1000 Spell Power:
Base Damage (including Spell Power) = 588 + (1000 x 0.81) = 1398
Base Damage (including Crit) = 1398 + (0.1 x 1398 x 0.5) = 1467 average damage over 3 seconds
Equals:

489 dps
347 mana
4.22 dpm

Case 3: 10% crit chance, 1000 Spell Powerm all takents and glyph
This takes into account:
51% increased damage (assuming average of 6% for https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=15332)
Damage increased by 15% of Spell Power (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=33193)
21% recuced mana cost
4% increased critical chance
100% increased critical damage

Base Damage (including spell power) = 588 + (1000 x 0.81) = 1398
Base Damage (including 15% Spell Power) = 1398 + (0.15 x 1000) = 1548
Base Damage (including 51% increased damage) = 1548 + (0.51 x 1548) = 2337
Base Damage (including crit) = 2337 + (0.14 x 2337 x 1) = 2664 average damage over 3 seconds
Equals:

888 dps
274 mana
8.5 dpm

Now I'm no expert, but those look like some tidy numbers. 8.5 damage per mana will make it the most amongst the most efficient single target spells around, although I think it will still be beaten by an upgraded Warlocks Curse of Agony.

Comine this with Shadow Word Pain, Devouring Plague and Vampiric Touch and I would imagine you should easily be hitting 1500 dps, and that even before you throw in Mind Blast and Shadow Word Death.

Disclamer: Although I hope I am correct, I can no way guarantee there are no errors with my maths.

Mind Flay is also known as "Face Melter". The question is: How do you melt faces of the Faceless Ones, such as those before Yogg-Saron ?

Same way you drain souls of Soulless Ghouls https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=1794#comments ?

How is the crit calculated? Does every tick has equal chance to crit as your crit chance?

Also this is going to sound really weird.. but does the crit proc Surge of Light?

Commentaire de silkfire

Is it me or does Mind Flay no longer show a visible debuff? Because I don't see anything applied to the enemies I use this on.

Well I'm looking at my priest's talent tree (not quite level 20) right now and it is saying:

..and slowing their movement speed by 15%.

WHAT? 15%? If this is some typo or something (don't see it on wowhead, still 50% here), they took every bit of usefulness this has for leveling or pvping aside from the damage. 50% Was really nice to save yourself or someone else from some melee guy coming at you, but 15%?

Edit: It looks like only rank one shows up as 15%, in-game and here. Not sure if it really is so just to &*!@ off leveling priests, or (hopefully) a typo.

A small tip, this spell actually probably makes ensuring you have the spell hit cap even more important. Whenever I miss with the first tick of the spell, the entire spell just stops, meaning a wasted GCD which is longer than the 1 or less for a tick of Mind Flay. This also means the slow doesn't happen either. But, if the first tick happens, the slowing effect will last for the whole 3 seconds even though ticks will miss in between. Strange little mechanic.

Edit: Unless this has anything to do with me spamming my macro
/cast mind flay
or if it's for some reason only seen on low level mind flays because i'm seeing this on my lvl 33 priest.
