Quote:Utter rubbish. Shadow priests scale THE WORST out of all caster classes. I'm not going to be doing 3k mind blast crits any time soon due to its short casting time, yet I regularly see frostbolt crits higher than that from our level 70 mages in 5-mans, without warlock assistance, wearing early naxx and BC levelling gear.
Firstly: http://wiki.shadowpriest.com/index.php?tit..._DPS_Comparison . Scroll down to the 2.0.6 part.
Secondly: A well geared shadow priest cycling SW:D beats me out on a single target, and I have +815 fire spell damage and a 10/48/3 pure raid fire build. I suspect your experience comes from not cycling SW:D or you're not geared as well as your mages. (Myself and the priest in question are effectively equally geared.)
Quote:Again, I can't really think of anything to say to this except "boggle". It's completely contradictory to my experience of mages and that of the mages in my guild, who are saying frost/arcane or arcane/frost is incredibly strong. It's like you're playing a different game.
What can I say? Our experiences seem completely at odds. I don't know where else we can really go with this.
