Mind Blast

Mind Blast is a level 5 priest direct-damage spell. It is a quick and powerful attack with a small cooldown, and also generates insanity for Shadow priests.

While initially available to all priests, Holy Fire replaces Mind Blast at level 19 for Holy priests.

Ranks
Mind Blast features an additional rank for discipline and shadow priests. Though both classified as "Rank 2", they provide separate effects.

Specialization

 * Dark Thoughts (Shadow)
 * Shadowy Apparitions (Shadow)
 * Voidform (Shadow)

Talents

 * Fortress of the Mind (Shadow)
 * Psychic Link (Shadow)

Tips and tactics

 * Mind Blast is a key part of any shadow priest rotation, and should generally be used on cooldown. As well as dealing substantial damage, it is critical for generating insanity for use with Devouring Plague.
 * An exception is while during Voidform. Devouring Plague and Void Bolt should be prioritized over Mind Blast.

Trivia

 * Mind Blast is a basic Priest spell in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "This spell blasts you directly in the MIND."
 * Prior to Patch 2.0.1, Mind Blast used to cause 100% additional threat, significantly limiting its use in PvE.
 * Though Shadow priests no longer use mana as a resource for damage, Mind Blast was again given a mana cost in Patch 9.0.1.
