Stormrage Karazhan Discussion

Shadow Priests have such a huge impact on a raid it's not even funny. Suddenly you need one less healer, your DPS casters don't go dry, etc - an exponential impact on raid effectiveness, just from one class/spec along. Why am I holy again? :)

Shadow priests are totally uber. It makes organizing Kara groups 100% easier when you have one or more than one. Pallys are good too, as are resto shaman.

As I recall you had NONE of those three available at the time, I can definitely see chain chugging pots.
One thing we learned early on on Terenas was it was important to have a "mana regen" slot since we were blessed with several options (Shadow priest -- now 2, a Pally -- now 2, and a resto shaman with mana tide)

Kara is a completely different place when you have a raid slot set aside for mana regen... and people avaialbe to fill that slot.

One of the best things about shadow priests is that more is better. They have their own mana issues, but that is completely solved with 2 shadow priests in one group. in 25 mans you can support 2 to 3 groups with 2 shadow priests each before they start trailing off in effectiveness (2x s. priest / 3x healer groups will pretty much never run out of mana, which means they can focus gearing entirely on +heal and / or crit and not have to worry too much about spirit or MP5)
