Buff shadow

Classes Priest

Since we are being trolled in that other post asking for pointless nerfs…

We need to buff shadow. Make AOE non talented so we can pick abilities and not be close to useless on M+ trash packs.

I think we need a baseline AoE insanity spender and some improvements to our utility toolkit.

But those are literally my only problems with Shadow.

In addition to the above, I’ve got some changes in two categories. One is realistic, the other is selfish (but hopefully also marginally realistic! Lol)

  1. realistic changes: SN now generates our apparitions (or a talent to do so when SN becomes baseline)
  • shadow word:death generates apparitions when used in death range (<=20%), it should generate 2 baseline, and 4 if it crits.
  1. selfish changes: Dark thoughts proc chance is now coupled to ANY instance of damage we do, not just from mind flay/sear anymore.
  • dissonant echoes void bolt proc is now tied to vamp touch damage ticks, and is increased to 3 ppm, can stack twice.
  • mind devourer DP proc upped to 2 ppm

This is the big one. We do some of the worst AOE in the game if we don’t commit multiple talents to it.

But even if they fix this, if they don’t fix priest utility, shadow is never going to be desirable for high keys.

If they made twins baseline it would be.

Also vampiric embrace not being super mediocre would be nice.
