Pedantic Gripe about Shadowy Apparitions

I know this is going to come off very OCD, but I really dislike how lazy and slow Shadowy Apparitions graphic plays out from the priest to the target. Can you just make them go in a straight line from you to the target without the wobbly effect and speed them up? It’s nice to see a lot of them happen at once but then you’re waiting like 3-4 seconds sometimes (at max range of course) for them to arrive.

Anyone else irked by how they move?

They’ve already been sped up a ton! Used to be there there was a cap to how many could be out at a time, they were targetable (unless I’m mis-remembering), they RP walked to the target, and if their target died, they just stood around doing nothing until their internal timer expired (so you could have up to 60 seconds with zero SA hits).

So I guess personally they feel lightning fast by comparison, but I’m certainly not saying you’re wrong.

They were in fact targetable lol. It was dumb.

See here…
Swifty attacks my apparition lol.

Edit:

In Cata, I actively didn’t waste talent points into that talent.
I also think at 1 points in time, it gave rage to a warrior when he attacked it without a special ability aka white damage hit etc.

So dumb lol.

I remember it letting Hpala get judgement killing blows for free massive holy lights. Having to quickly spec out of it against hpala teams was a pain.

Imagine a mage’s pyroblast with the same pathing and pace as a Shadowy Apparition…kinda silly imo.

Spriests have been through the wringer.

Thank you for melting their faces :wink: that was very satisfying to watch!

I fought them 3 times.

2 times in the vid above and 1 time in the other vid (see link) at the bottom.

He got pretty upset the 3rd time lol.
