A Shadow Priest blog

It's a well known fact all AoE abilities has a damage cap based on the amount of targets. Like when we did the "Many Whelps! Handle It!" achivement at Onyxia, Mind Sear was only hitting each whelp for less than 300. For this reason alone we can say that haste is *the* stat to stack since all your other damage contributing attacks will be mitigated by the cap. Even at less targets than the cap, Mind Sear already scales very nicely with haste.

With the introduction to paid race change few days ago, Troll is now mandatory for Horde Shadow Priests because of Berserking. I predict some racials will be balanced for patch 4.0
