How to deal with Grievous

Hi,

As a Disc priest how do you deal with this scenario??

You enter Kings Rest 10 your group fails to interrupt a Shadow Bolt Volley and your team gets 4 stacks of Grievous almost instantly ??

I do feel that Grievous is a bit hard to deal with as some classes like with my Resto Shaman I dread to think what would happen if i Spirit Linked a group…

I need to record one of my keys I think because I swear that 1 shadow bolt volley knocked everyone to about 40% HP ( Was fortified ) and then 4 stacks of Grievous instantly appeared or it ticked upto 4 super fast (Or it felt it)

Which seems super harsh 1 missed interrupt basically equalled a wipe.

Give disc priest an interrupt so I can interrupt this stuff myself without relying on fail pug,s to do it… lol

I actually had to double back on this one, I love this :smiley:

In terms of dealing with Grevious as disc priest it’s definitely doable (I main a disc priest), they do have some great ways of dealing with it, providing you don’t mind changing talents specifically for that week.

Both Icy Veins and some youtube videos have tried to help with the stigma that disc isn’t good with grevious so they are worth reading/watching if you’re interested in the “best” setups, but I do believe grevious tends to be tricky for any healer if the group isn’t specifically playing around grevious and concentrating on making sure the healer is comfortable that week (just like you would on other affixes making sure the tank is safe etc). I also feel the benefits disc can provide with extra burst do help shave valuable time off a run, even if people have to help with their own cooldowns to ensure you can clear grevious before moving on. To each their own of course, but I just thought I would weight in there :slight_smile:
