12.1.5 Shadow Priest

In Development Midnight: 12.1.5 Public Test Realm

Again, nothing for Shadow Priests to address our single-target PvE issues or any of the PvP time-to-kill issues.

I’d like to believe that just waiting is the right call, but waiting usually means there is no time left.

  • Shadow
    • Developers’ notes: We feel Shadow is lacking in single target damage, so these changes are intended to improve Shadow’s damage against singular targets while remaining neutral in multi-target situations.
    • Mind Blast damage increased by 15%.
    • Void Blast damage increased by 15%.
    • Shadow Word: Death damage increased by 15%.
    • Shadow Word: Madness damage increased by 15%. Not applied to PvP combat.
    • Mind Flay damage increased by 15%. Not applied to PvP combat.
    • Mind Flay: Insanity damage increased by 15%. Not applied to PvP combat.
    • Psychic Link now causes direct damage spells to inflict 20% of their damage to all other targets afflicted by Vampiric Touch (was 25%). Not applied to PvP combat.
    • Shadeburst damage reduced by 5%. Not applied to PvP combat.

Small buff to ST. Nerf to AoE. Also nothing to help with the abysmal utility and lacking good defensives.

Also, give me back the ability to actively summon my Shaodowfiend. I can’t imagine why it was taken away, but at the very least turn it into a choice node for how it operates.
