The sensational announcement of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth attracts the attention of not only fans, but also people who have been far from the game all this time. The success of this large-scale project has been tested for years, and many will be convinced of this with the official release of the supplement.
Each innovation dramatically changes the gameplay and content, adding unique content that captures its plot. Blizzard Entertainment is moving to a new level - in no other part of the series has there been such a stir caused by the vivid video sequence and the exciting expectation of the players.
Some changes to the add-on
In the new part of the Battle for Azeroth, we are promised a change in the PvP and PvE components. Will undergo changes skills, talents and professions of characters. Therefore, this will allow players to again feel a certain innovative twist, as there will be no guides that are tested on the personal experience of the players.
Those who are familiar with the class of priests will recall some negative pattern: priest (from the English - “priest”) of any specialization cannot fully promote their damage or healing at first - some updates will be required that allow the priests to play comfortably and be useful in various situations. The priest has three specializations: Obedience, Light and Darkness. We will dwell on the latter in more detail to consider the nuances in the Battle of Azeroth.
Specialization "Darkness" at the priest in "WWII"
It's no secret that priests are not the most powerful casters for one purpose. But experienced players compensate for this with the use of AoE - abilities and constant support for the pillbox, which together can maintain a stable DPS. Spells consume a special resource of priests - Madness. Priests in the Second World War are very useful in that they are able to inflict damage and restore health at the same time. This increases their survival in both PvP and PvE.
Change in spells and talents
Like other classes, in the new addition of the Second World War priests will cut off some abilities and change the talent system. Imagine the main changes in the form of a list.
- The directed Searing of Mind spell reappeared in active abilities.
- The new Dark Abyss talent deals damage to the target and enemies within 10 yards. The dot “Word of Darkness: Pain” is placed on all those affected by this ability.
- The new Dark Ascension talent allows Shp Priests to cast Shadowform at any time. When this spell is applied, it deals damage in the area of 10 m from the main target.
- The spell "Word of Darkness: Death" has moved into the category of talents.
- Spell "Abyss Stream" transferred to talents.
- Added a new talent, "Deep Horror", which allows you to stun the target for 4 seconds.
- Reducing the duration of the bunkers: “Word of Darkness: Pain” - up to 16 seconds, and “Touch of the Vampire” - up to 21 seconds.
- The Myslebomb spell causes disorientation of opponents instead of stunning.
- A new Last Word talent has been added, which reduces the cooldown of Silence to 30 seconds.
- Spell "Eruption of the Abyss" now does not require bunkers on the target and is able to use for 90 units of madness.
- The spell "Word of Darkness: Abyss" has 2 charges and replaces the spell "Mind Blast".
- Conquering Madness now does not kill the character, but deals 90% damage from the player’s maximum health and deprives him of generating madness over the next 30 seconds.
- The San'lane talent reduces the recovery time of the vampire's arms and increases healing from this ability.
Based on the priest’s new talent system in the Second World War, it can be concluded that the priests have increased their arsenal of controlling spells. Reducing the time of bunkers and reducing the cooldown will contribute to a more active game in this class. In the new update, there will be an increase in burst damage, which will be useful in some cases, as well as an increase in AoE damage.
Guide for the priest in "WWII"
This talent system will be designed for universal play by the priest-priest in the Second World War. Some talents can be replaced, but in the event that you are based on your professional game and preferences. This branch of talent will allow you to profitably pump your character in the conditions of the release of a new update:
- Level 15: Solid Mind - Increases the damage of two spells that are most commonly used.
- Level 30: "Mania" - increases the speed of movement with the accumulated madness. It saves on the battlefield and in the dungeon.
- Level 45: "Suffering" - imposes a pillbox when applying the ability
- Level 60: Last Word - Reduces the cooldown of the Silent ability, which is extremely useful in the arena and battlefield.
- Level 75: Supportive Spirits - Increases the regeneration of Madness.
- Level 90: "Continuous Madness" - allows you to gradually get out of the action of "The Form of the Abyss". In general, damage per second will not decrease, but increase.
- Level 100: Legacy of the Abyss - Reduces the amount of insanity required to cast Erupt the Abyss.
Single Enemy Rotation
It takes all the time to maintain debuffs, such as “Word of Darkness: Pain” and “Touch of the Vampire”. Abyss Ejection spell is required to activate Abyss Form. When using Void Form, use your Void Arrow as often as possible and use Mind Slayer on 15 stacks.
If you have run out of Time for the Form of the Abyss, then cast Mind Blast every time you can. Spells "Dark contrition", "Dark Abyss", "Word of Darkness: Death" and "Flow of the Abyss" apply on CD. When all of the Priest’s abilities are on reload, use the Mind Torture spell.
Rotation for the battle with several opponents
If you have chosen the talent "Dark Abyss", start the battle with its use to throw pillboxes on all nearby enemies. When choosing the "Suffering" talent, use the "Vampire Touch" spell to add an additional pillbox on opponents. Use Dark Contrition as often as possible. While in the Form of the Abyss, cast the Boom of the Abyss to extend the effect of the pillboxes.
Actively use Eruption of the Abyss. In the event that there are more than five opponents, and all abilities are in cooldown, then use Searing the Mind on a group of opponents. If there are less than five goals, then use the “Mind Blast” or “Word of Darkness: Abyss”. If all abilities are on cooldown, then use Mind Torture on one of the targets.
