This week’s blog Azeroth shared topic asks: “What spell would you most want?” It was inspired by the fact that in the upcoming Mist of Pandaria expansion, Druids will be getting a new spell
called Symbiosis, which will allow them to “trade” a spell with another
player, based on the player’s class and combat role and the Druid’s
specialization.
This one was a no brainer for me– I’ll be crossing my fingers that I always have a shadow priest in my party so I can borrow their Mind Sear. Now, its tooltip doesn’t make it sound like all that: “Causes an explosion of shadow magic around the target, causing 152 to 163 (+ 15% of SpellPower) Shadow damage every 1 sec for 5 sec to all enemies within 10 yards around the target.” But what it DOESN’T MENTION is that you do, in fact, create a shadowy purple explosion of damage in a large circle around your intended victim. Purpley bolts of doom for everyone!
When I play my boomkin, it’s always the mind sear button I try to reach for, from the many hours of shadow priesting and the joy that spell has brought me in so many dungeons and raids and city leader strikes. If my druid had it in her arsenal, it would be her go-to AOE spell. And her targets would never see it coming…
What about you? What spell would you seek out?
I want Ghost Wolf. This is probably my most favorite spell. Ever since reading the Belgariad and the Mallorean as a kid, shape change into a wolf has been one of my favorite abilities… but not enough to read Twilight.
That would be so glorious…I want Mind Sear! I’ll take anything purple and swirly, really.
The one actual spell I can’t wait to Symbiosis is Life Grip. I’ll volunteer to go rest sometimes just for the payback…
