I just don’t get it, are they factoring the inability to apply dots due to shadow crash CD into damage balancing? Why not 10/15sec? Why not let it be affected by haste?
They’re just going off of what completes 14, and what doesn’t. Is never rely solely on shadow crash, a couple hard caste vt’s usually get you the insanity needed for plague to open with torrent.
I’m still kinda used to legion m+ when shadow crash was just burst, and misery was the aoe talent.
Just wanted to let you know… shadow is no longer S tier. They updated Arcon. We’re a B- minus now. It’s like everything everyone in this forum has been saying has been noticed by the Arcon site developers.
I only skimmed all the back n forth but I will say as an exclusive key enjoyer shadow is back to feeling incredible again.
Only thing I would ask for is to un nerf the sustain on DP/VT. I tried mental fortitude again and the overall was still pathetic. Really unnecessary nerfs in DF with the HP changes they made in TWW.
I did a couple keys with my pathogen archon build sacrificing points in the last row to fill out mind devourer/pathogen/evangelism/maddening and it was nuts.
Loving it
Will have to say as well, shadow crash really isn’t an issue when you have good haste. Friends I’ve seen complaining about it usually do stuff like shadow crash on 2 target pulls and cry when the tank chain pulls more unexpectedly.
Normal and heroic are useless for determining anything. The mechanics are so forgiving that you can put up good numbers by simply ignoring mechanics or doing things that will kill the group on mythic.
