What he really should have said is, remove PL and roll all damage into apparitions.
They are the same passive (yeah yeah I know not 100% … but they might aswell be).
Keep the visually distinct looking one and scrap PL. Roll all damage into apparitions.
Hell I would like to use Void Eruption in AoE since it looks so cool.
Something like:
Void Eruption, 100 Insanity spender that provides a free DP (tuned accordingly so it’s better to spend Insanity on for 3+ targets) or give it 15 sec CD no cost.
See void bolts and ghosts in AoE absolutely everywhere.
Honestly I would like to go away from Insanity being a builder spender. It’s incredibly boring and unfit for the whole theme of walking the edge of Insanity to gain power. I don’t know where to take it sadly.

You’re litterally just asking for less consistent AoE damage, also this would force every build to run Void Bolt. None of this fixes any of the problems shadow has. There’s a difference between esthetics and mechanics.
Psylink should never have been as strong as it is. It was a way to give us the filler mind sear without needing an extra button. It should never have applied to the entire single target arsenal. Apparitions and DoTs are the superior AoE delivery method.

Oh, I agree. I was just telling the guy saying “just don’t take the talent if you don’t like it” that you can’t do that.
The design problems presented by apparitions aside, they’ve probably been every shadow priest’s favorite bit of visual flare since they were introduced. Granted - they don’t have a lot of competition since Blizzard hasn’t given shadow players anything to like visually after Legion until Voidweaver, but still. They’re awesome.

Agreed, but insanity with psychic link does look nice with all the numbers.
