[Priest] Psyfiend [EN]

  • Spell name : http://www.db.pandawow.me?spell=108921
  • Date tested : 02-13-2014
  • How it works : It works normally as it was working on 5.0.5 spamming Fear on even single targets , ignoring the 5.2 nerf
  • How it should work :
    Substantially nerfed in 5.2.0:
     
    Psyfiend belonging to an individual Priest will no longer cast Psychic Horror on the same target twice. (that should be (Spell #113792))
     
    This should change Psyfiend play significantly:
     
    Psyfiend's value is drastically reduced in duels/1v1 situations - only a single fear will be cast
    Even in multiple-target situations, priests can no longer simply attack feared targets, knowing that they will be re-feared when the effect breaks; they may wish instead to make the most of Psyfiend's effects by attacking non-feared targets, healing, dispelling, etc
    Feared players can now simply trinket (or similar) the fear without risk of being re-feared
    This one-cast-per-target rule presumably extends to immune players such as warriors with Berserker Rage, making the timing of a Psyfiend cast even more critical
     
    This certainly makes Psyfiend a far less attractive option for PvP. In crowded group settings, it's possible that this change will make little difference; the Psyfiend is limited to 5 fears per spawn, so if there are 5 targets within range, at least the total number of casts should remain the same.

Also Psyfiend should NOT share resilience with the priest ... it should be 1shottable ... thats why ppl use it only in 3v3 -s

Also Psyfiend can not be CC-d and even if it gets a fear or a stun it will still keep spamming Fears

Psyfiends have 13k hp on retail .. here they have more than 100k making it impossible to kill it with melee withougt getting feared
