Warlocks Getting Buffed

[mjdoom]

If you've already invested in Mind Flay, you'll have the tier 1 chance to stun with shadow spells talenta s well. Any priest with shadow will have that tier 1 Blackout talent. So not only MF slow the enemy whilst they approach or run away, you get a good chance to stun as well. Shadow priests consistently stun when they get to use repeated MF/ SW:P. In that time, you may bubble/scream/heal or dash.

MF is sick  :angry:

This is a good point and recasting SW:P solely to try to proc blackout may be a good tactic for a priest trying to get away. You're going to want to keep moving at least until blackout does actually proc so MF won't work in that situation and we're talking about being surprised so you won't get the chance to MF at range as they are coming in. I'm talking about when you have been surprised and your Scream has failed for one reason or another. This won't work nearly as well against multiple enemies but could certainly save your bacon against a solo enemy. That said it is still a bit unreliable. Probably the best option (going under the assumption that scream has failed) but still not a guaranteed escape (which IMO is the way it should be).
