Will this be affecting only the party come WotLK, or the entire raid like other abilities (totems and auras)?

Comentário de DkDabura

i think shadow priests are best for ME cause im really a DPS person... if want to have a heal priest take holy spec ofc Oo lol Btw this spell is really gd but Blizzard need more actionbars especially for priests xD cause they have reeaallyy much spells...

I really don't like what they've done to the mana cost.
When I played actively, I had around 8k mana buffed, and I was one of the SPriests I knew with the lowest manapool.
VT rank 3 cost me 425 mana.
VT rank 3 will now cost me approximately (when fully buffed - but this is compared to normal TBC standards. It'll graduately escalate in raw mana cost due to scaling mana pools at lvl 80 - so this comparisson is perfectly viable) 1280 mana.
That is more than -3- times as much.
Coupled with the lower self-regain from Vampiric Touch, it appears that raw +dmg won't cut it for Spriests anymore.
Although other classes will have group/raid mana regen abilities as well, and spirit tap + imp spirit tap will help even more, I am still somewhat discouraged by this change.

Will be changed to trigger a Replenishment buff that restores 0,5% of someones total mana each second, which will affect a maximum of 10 people, those with the lowest current mana in your raid.

Comentário de Ketholos

-Just looking at the numbers, and remember VT returns *half* a percent, not 5% as some people have been doing in their figuring, anyway. Right now my spriest has roughly over 10k mana, so we'll just round it down to 10k for the sake of clean numbers.
-10,000 x 0.5% = 50mp / sec = 250mp5

-This is a very simple calculation I thought i'd share with people to give them an idea of its power, obviously it will scale with your *max* mana, which is the amount of mana shown on your mana bar, which includes all gear and buffs.
-Currently my Mindflay (by itself with 937 dmg) returns about 23mp/sec, which is 115mp/5, this is of course just the amount I'm getting back from MF, it doesn't include SWP or the DOT from VT. I have VampWatch, but I don't know if i trust the numbers that it reports in the "mp5" section, it tracks current mp5 returns, and spikes with MB and SWD.

this looks like a nerf. but in reality. a green geared shadow preist can now go into a raid. not needing any +shadow damage and being the mana battery. when before the spreist needed lots of +shadow damage to keep everyones mana up

mana battery ! yess. raiding naked and still restoring the same amount of mana as you would with full gear! omg blizz you have removed shadow preists from the raiding scene
tyvm
so if a raid needs caster dps. why get a spreist when u can get a mage or a warlock? who can output more dps

before shadow preists mana battery was key in lots of fights because u needed a good shadowpreist to dish out high amounts of damage for the mana regen to be effective. now you just might as well pick up another shaman with mana spring totem ..because a 1200+spell dmg ele shaman will out dps a 1200+spell damage spreist anyday

on the plus side. you can do the same mana regen by casting a rank 1 mind blast. and healers will beat you on the dps charts
raiding with 100 spell power will be just fine mana battery!

Comentário de skribs

Rank 1 of mind blast will cost more mana than max rank.
If you go in with greens you may not function as a mana battery if you go OOM.
Blizzard buffed shadow damage as they nerfed shadow utility. Both were intentional.

Basically, now that you offer the same buff as a survival hunter or retribution paladin, they buffed your damage so you're not just there to provide mana. You're there as a DPS that also provides replenishment. Maybe warlocks and magi will pump out more damage, but Spriests shouldn't be pumping out much worse if that's the case.

I personally don't like the new changes to Vampiric Touch. It takes away that awesome feeling I get when I improve my spell damage, that feeling that I've just given my party that much more mana. This new VT is very boring.

Comentário de 33153

I'm finding that my mana longevity is very very low now. I go oom in about 3minutes, even if i use shadow fiend.

My gear is pretty good i'd say and this change to a base % is terrible, a better shadow priest with better gear used to help a group more. Now they are all the same...

Comentário de isendims

Our damage output was increased and mana regen was lowered to "balance" to make a good source of dps, thing is though, we were already a very good source of dps.. ~ Azealya, Gorefiend "Out dps'n destro locks since 2006"

Comentário de Merowlin

gain 0.25% of their maximum mana per second when you deal damage from Mind Blast.

What?
So... you throw VT, then followed by Mind Blast and it will tick away with a 0.25% mana indefinently?
It's supposed to be Mind Flay not Mind Blast, or what? I find that blizzard hasn't quite cared %^&* for priest as all the talents are incorrectly written. such as the one increasing mind flay and mind blast damage while you cast mind flay on the target, that one doesn't make sense. considering you will have to stop using mind flay to get off a mind blast and as thus would lose the entire effect of the buff. It just doesn't make sense...

I'd call it proof that they are intentionally destroying the raid viability of Spriests. Then again, they might have employed some retard to "handle" our performances.

Comentário de 136306

bad thing tho that it dose not stack up cause the effects stays for 12 seconds true? mind blast has ~6 secs cooldown with talent and usally in raids you spam mind blast for maximum dmg after every cooldown so u keep loosing the rest of the 6 secs thrown away out of 12.. yet ull allways have mana additions on your screen the whole fight and its very help full cause with this the raid basicly never runs out of mana and the priest himself NEVER runs out of mana considering dispersion, VT proc, totems, shadow fiend, mana pots and most importantly Mp5.
i fought prince last night and when the fight finished i found that i have about 70% of my mana and all thought that i didnt do dmg but i was 1st on dmg... all thx to dispersion and totem i didnt use pot or shadow fiend. extremly useful in raids especailly 25 mans which are looong fights

Comentário de Znuff

So, for better understanding:

I have 4485 base mana. Vampiric Touch will cost me 393 mana. A Mind Blast will cost me 351 Mana.

My total (max) mana is 8430.

So basically, if I hit a Vampiric Touch then quickly followed by Mind Blast I will gain 23 mana/s for 15 seconds. That means a total of 345 Mana for me. If I follow up quickly with another Mind Blast I will gain another 345 mp5 over 15 seconds.

So, at a total expense of 1095 mana, I can get back a total of 690 mana.

Not too much, I'd say, but keep in mind that it also does a huge ammount of damage (and my combat log says that its ticks are BIGGER than SW:P's) and a total of 10 people get 0.5% of their total max mana (with the Improved Vampiric Touch, ofcourse).

Not sure if it's fair, I'd like to see it give back more mana, like it used to :-(

edit: corrected my maths, sorry for the mistake, thanks to kiwibird for pointing it out
edit: clarified - mana/sec, not mp5

Say what you want about the mechanics of mana battery-ing changing for better or for worse; the fact of the matter is, Vampiric Touch is quite nearly OP as it is. In T7 gear, with talents and glyphs boosting the performance of SW:P, Vampiric Touch does more damage than Shadow Word: Pain for less mana.
Granted, the the refreshing of SW:P via Pain and Suffering means that you'll never have to cast SW:P more than a few times on a boss, whereas VT will have to be recast ever 15 seconds. But VT is crazy efficient as it is and could be used as your primary DoT for trash mobs that will not last too long.
tl;dr: VT is very good, even with the reduced mana returns.

This spell now has a new effect:

Vampiric Touch: now cause 680 damage (at Rank 5) if the effect is dispelled.
MMO Champion

I tested this on PTR a few days ago, and it seems to hit for around 3k non critical (the effect is however capable of a 200% damage critical, with recent patch notes), when it is dispelled.

Comentário de 319936

When and only when you deal damage from Mind Blast to target affected by Vampiric Touch DoT, will give a 15s Replenishment buff to 10 party or raid members.

This the list of spells or talents that will trigger the Replenishment buff(Notice that they do NOT stack):

Priest(Shadow): Vampiric Touch.
Mage(Frost): Enduring Winter.
Warlock(Destruction): Improved Soul Leech.
Hunter(Survival): Hunting Party.
Paladin(Retribution): Judgements of the Wise.

Sometimes when I look on Vampiric Touch's icon I imagine a middle finger icon.

Comentário de 425091

Vampiric Touch is the highest DPS shadow priest DoT. It doesn't look like it from the spell description, though, as the base damage done by the spell seems kind of low. It receives a gigantic boost from spellpower, though. Trust me when I say this -- There's a reason why it has a 1.5s cast time rather than being instant cast!

Just as an experiment, I dotted up some stuff with identical buffs and talents (even a 2% stack of shadow weaving) to see which had the highest DPS/DPM potential.*

VT -> 1153 non crit dmg/tick
SW:P -> 759 non crit dmg/tick
Plague -> 735 non crit dmg/tick

* This is only a relativistic comparison. As a raiding or PvP-ing shadow priest, your numbers will be much, much higher.

VT should, therefore, be cast priority whenever it is about to run out on your primary target, as it does the highest DPS of the three DoTs. Efficiency is a more difficult question, but in general if other spells are eliminated, the efficiency (greatest to least) is VT, Plague (improved) and then SW:Pain. However, a talent exists for deep shadow priests to refresh SW:Pain up to its max duration whenever the target is flayed. If SW:Pain is refreshed once right as its about to run out, it pulls ahead in the DPM race. This only matters if your target lives for longer than about 25 seconds, though, so use your own discretion.

With about 2040 spellpower and a sub-optimal shadow DPS spec chosen for PvP reasons, VT can hit for 1.5k or crit for approximately 3k every 3 seconds, and even moreso if you receive raid buffs. In fact, I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear a 4k+ VT tick-crit from a raider. It is extremely deadly, and when used appropriately can be a potent weapon in all aspects of the game. The backlash from dispelling it functions the same as unstable affliction (except it does not silence), and this backlash is being enhanced next patch to do the same amount of damage as UA.

Forget just melting faces; these new fangled shadow priests are disintegrating them!

Comentário de 160947

The name of this spell is obviously a reference to the lame, but wildly popular Twilight series of books, and the movie. Twilight is about a vampire that touches little girls.

Another of Blizzards sneaky references to pop culture.
-Edit- Must not have been based on the movie, just the books.

Comentário de 499910

How much is the spell power coefficent of the backlash from dispelling vampiric touch?

Comentário de Ordayc

Dispelling a reflected Vampiric Touch does not trigger its backlash effect (which means you can safely remove it from yourself). Furthermore, Shadow Affinity is triggered by it (hence reducing the cost for you).

Comentário de 537201

Do not touch yourself (No pun intended) with it, unless you're a Twilight fan.

Comentário de Itsversayce

For Classic: This spell gains 200% of your spell power (40% per tick).

Toque Vampírico is the dispel effect of Vampiric Touch, which scales with 120% of your spell power and can crit.
