So i say people should avoid getting locked out of their shadow school.
You claim this is silly.
I say that if you want to use Psychic Scream you should avoid getting spell locked.
Yes,"it is wise" to avoid silences on your main damage school.I did not say to avoid Mind Flay completely,just that you have abilities tied to your shadow school that you want to use when possible.Don't you agree?
You agree(I think),put a detailed analysis on the rogue's moves and rebuke me again for pointing some completely valid points in Hydra's post.
As for priests killling rogues LOL.Just lol.
If you get him out of stealth and get the dots rolling on him before he manages to begin the stunlock i agree.Otherwise-no chance.
If a rogue opens on you.
Cheap shot>Kindney Shot.
You are well geared,at full mana and health and with full stacks of Inner Fire?Well,you will survive.
Vanish>Repeat.
You are somehow still alive?Preparation says hi.Vanish and repeat again.By this time Inner Fire should be far gone.
You have PvP trinket?Riiightt.If he is not undead(unlikely) you may have a chance.
Even then a rogue can Blind,use Sprint and run away to eat and drink.You may have fend him off,but that does not mean you killed him.I though priests were killing them ,you say?
If he vanishes after Prep and does choose to leave combat what are you going to do?
No way to pull out of stealth unless you blindly use Psychic Scream and hope the rogue is near enough to be affected by it.
You heal?Leave Shadow Form and a good amount of your mitigation is gone.If i were a rogue i would attack just now and finish you quickly...
I'm not even gonna go and consider Sap working in combat,because i'm not sure which patch it is,but it is sure as hell tipping it even more in rogue's favour.
There is so much that is so very wrong with your breakdown of a rogue v. priest encounter, I barely know where to begin. I mean, did you even PvP in vanilla? I would LOVE, ABSOLUTELY LOVE for a rogue to open with a cheapshot -> Kidney shot -> Vanish -> Cheapshot -> Kidney shot combination on me. Absolutely love it. You know why? Because at that point DR has happened on each of those abilities and I'm either immune to them or will sit in them for 1/2 the duration, so GG rogue, hit me with a 5 point KS and I'll sit in it as long as a 2 pt one. Also, a rogue who uses prep at that point to re-open on you AGAIN is terrible, absolutely terrible, because at that point not only are you even MORE into the DR for those abilities, but they've also effectively wasted 10 or so combo points on Kidney shots that would have been better used on expose armor or eviscerates.
Rogues mix control with damage, but you've outlined a rogue trying to stun you to death, which simply put won't work, especially if you have a trinket. The only way a rogue kills a priest doing what you've outlined is if the rogue is in Naxx level gear, and you're in dungeon blues.
Seriously dude, stop giving advice about shadow priest PvP, you don't know what you're talking about. You're talking about this like you're looking at their abilities in a spreadsheet and putting together a pro vs. con list and deciding the outcome based on that and not actual experience.
