Vampiric Touch needs an infection mechanic

Classes Priest

It could be something like:

  • Casting shadow crash gives a 10 second buff where each VT cast will spread to nearby targets.
  • Mind Blast causes VT on the target to spread to two other targets, or refresh the target with the least amount of time left.
  • VT can detonate on a target like Seed of Corruption, infecting nearby targets.
  • SC now has 2 charges and its CD is reduced for each mind blast.

We need something. Visions and M+ just continually remind me how antiquated VT is in a game where almost every other class just does instant, front loaded damage with no setup.

I’ve never understood why Devouring Plague doesn’t have a spread mechanic. It’s on my wishlist for Spriest.

We need something. My idea was rework Idol of Yogg-Saron where our Shadow Apparitions explode and spread (or % chance to spread) the dots. Perfect for constantly appling dots, yet not over mechanical or gamebreaking
