Rework for shadow word: pain

[Pepino-frostmourne (Pepino)]

I like your suggestion, but cannot agree, the removal of misery saves us so much time on gcds I don’t think Shadow Priest will function at all. It’s already considered very clunky and reliant on Shadow Crash to actually perform and you want to remove that?.

Example 3 targets, with your suggestion would take 4 gcds. SW:P on one and it spreads, then 3 VT to get all 3 dotted up rather then just 3 gcds of VT with misery that applies both dots.

We need to move forward in class and rotational design, make it more fluid, not step backwards.

My suggestion.

They just need to rework our Talent Tree and how Dark Void works and Shadow Priest be great to play.

Misery currently really is a must pick, Dark Void I can’t ever be seen getting picked in any content. This is my idea.

Why not completely scrap Shadow Crash, travel time floor AoE doesn’t feel good and consistent in this day and age of WoW, move Dark Void where Shadow Crash was and have it interact with Misery and make it instant cast and spreads the dots on the main target. So we now have a reliable skill, that targeted on the Enemy that spreads SW:P and VT.

So you’d VT into a Dark Void, bam all dots spread to the closest 8 targets, keep it on a 30sc cd but have mind blast reduce its cd by 1sec per cast.

This gives us a consistent way to spread our DoTs, removes the whole issue if targets move so really impossible to miss, and interacts with Mind Blast.

I always feel like if Shadow Crash had a few seconds shaved off it’s cd it be great so be just the same as Dark Void, so be up way more consistently during pulls.

This change then would only require 2 GCDs and would DoT 8 Targests with no chance of missing.
