Hey, Blizz-buddy.
Give us back Shadowfiend as a castable spell.
Currently, Shadowfiend is locked in as a PROC under SW:Death.
So my FINISHING MOVE has a CHANCE to summon additional damage assistance. What if we’re fighting a single Elite? That damage sure would be nice, but the proc is locked behind a SW:death proc chance.
That’s really crappy.
Shadow priest shield is already underpowered, now my damage assist is basically nerfed? And I have no means whatsoever of increasing that proc through stats.
Just gimme back my shadowfiend that I can cast at my own discretion. I don’t like rolling RNG to MAYBE get my shadowfiend when I’m in pitched battle.

Shadow Priests are underpowered and it hurts…playing my one toon yetserday and it was painfully clear how little damage I put out. Really needs an overhaul.
Yeah it’s really bad design. And there’s like 9 talents tied to it if I recall correctly.

“We want to keep this ability, but passive and with a low uptime…
Link it to the spec’s TWO MINUTE COOLDOWN???
No.
Have it pop out when everything is dead.”
Genius. Hey why stop there, why not have it proc on logoff.

Holy priests didn’t need a mana regen tool either. No fiend, no Symbol of hope…

Apparently Blizzard think players are too stupid and Shadowfiend was a huge mental tax to use lol.

Well, us geriatrics can’t handle so many buttons and our minds are dull. Pressing shift while spinning my mousewheel up every few minutes was a near impossible task.

Yes please! I want to use shadowfiend more and not rely on a hyper specific proc
Honestly, I think the twiddle thumbs method of mana regen is peak gameplay.
Shadowfiend was an albatross around shadow’s neck for years. Functionally useless button that cost a gcd. It’s fine as a passive.
Idk if you’ve noticed but shadow has a bit of a pet problem for not being a pet spec. Shadowfiend on Sw:D, Mindbender on Voidform, Voidwraith on Void Torrent, Thing from Beyond on Shadowy Apparitions, and Tendrils on Mind Flay
I didn’t care for it for shadow but I used it as holy and disc. Would have been super if they made it passive (not on sw:d) on shadowmeld but kept it as a button for disc and holy.
Don’t worry shadow gets redone every patch. We just go with the flow.
Set the button to summon a pet that looks like the shadowfiend!
I was thinking the same thing. It makes absolutely no sense I’m supposed to get my shadowfiend at the end of a fight. Absolutely crazy that this made it live.
I’d rather they removed shadowfiend and mindbender from shadow completely instead of leaving it in this weird limbo. The spec has too many uncontrolled damage sources and it means the actual buttons don’t feel good to press. Especially voidform and swd.
