First off: Long time lurker, first time poster (well since some extensive tests on Smite in D2 many lurker lounge versions ago)
Have you ever wondered why Mind Vision Rank 2 has a range of 100000 and specifically states that it will work across the length of a continent? What purpose could that possible have?
I have a technique I use extensively, especially in instances, whereby I 'chain-scout'. This is the act of casting Mind Vision over and over to dig deeper into the instances.
When you cast Mind Vision on a target (and you can do this to almost anything, Beasts, Critters, Players, Elementals (I like to target Critters)) you have the ability to look through its eyes *and* select a new target from within its sight.
Chain-Scouting consists of picking a target some distance away, casting Mind Vision, from that targets eyes picking a new target and without cancelling Mind Vision casting the spell from your action bar again.
Using this technique you can twist down corridors, go up stair cases and pretty much view any portion of the dungeon you desire as long as there are mobs filling the path down which you wish to traverse.
Never be lost again, never be ambushed again, put this invaluable Priest skill through the paces. :)
Thoughts? Has anyone ever tried this technique before? Any other uses for Mind Vision?
Discuss!
