| None of those spells were smite. He was spamming Holy fire.
holy fire is 4 sec cast (full benefit from +dmg gear). The 4k+ cast was on a berserk + stance warrior.
I can do more DPS than this in shadow gear, currently, on the live servers. The "and he can heal LOL" is bogus, as I can heal too but I lose 15% damage which would bring me to right about where he is. The new VE is gross amounts of healing as well, which happens while dpsing rather than instead of. It is probably only a little better than renew, however.
His spec has nearly 0 healing talents. It would be the same as bringing a shadow priest into a raid and having them only heal, except that he gets faster Gheals and can put infusion on someone who is dpsing.
The nutty thing to consider about this is that with 5% tohit gear, he will have a 0 resist rate on level 60s casting holy spells.
What is missing from this video is how fast he gets assraped after the trinkets/talents die down, especially if someone not-retarded is actually in melee distance of him, and his main DPS spell is now chained to his healing line of spells. Great for counter/kick.
He didn't have that much +dmg gear, actually. It was just the good stuff that gave him a decent manapool, notice how few holy novas he was able to get off in that bit, even though they were pounding folks.
The myopia of people when they see eyecandy is retarded. I can't wait till the patch is in so that people spec to "smite dps" with 0 healing talents and cry when they realize that a video taking the peaks and editing out the valleys is not representative of what actually usually happens.
So, yeah, watch out for those double trinket + oil + flask + potion holy damage priests in battlegrounds. /rolleyes |
