Probably a stupid question but I just started playing this game 3 weeks ago, why do you cast Vampiric Touch on all the targets before shadow crashing? I thought shadow crash applies vampiric touch and shadow word: pain already
No worries mate, welcome. Shadow Crash only applies those two dots to 8 targets max. If the tank agros more, I start by manually casting my dots whilst they're getting grouped up - then using shadow crash to make sure everything is getting damaged.
Thanks that makes a lot of sense! Though to follow up if it’s okay, at 24:18 you still manually cast VT on less than 8 mobs and instantly shadow crash after. Hopefully not too nitpicky but I’d love to understand the thought process!!
@@babygagagirl Hard to know how much a tank is going to pull in a pug, so I'll sometimes hold in case more gets picked up. Worst case scenario, it just extends the dots you manually cast anyway.
hello buddy ! Archon or Voidweaver ?

@@babygagagirl Also, could be habbit. I always cast 1 or 2 VT's before SC, mainly from habbit.
