Voidblast as a spender

Was thinking today about the dot vs direct damage talents shadow has, and I started wondering how shadow would’ve turned out if Voidweaver replaced Devouring Plague with Void Blast. It would have changed the playstyle, but it also would’ve allowed our spender to benefit from Dark Ascension and made that direct damage build feel a bit more complete.

Idk, it could’ve been interesting if Blizzard fully leaned into each build. Obviously a fair bit of difficulty balancing them both, but interesting nonetheless

With mind spike going away I doubt we’ll ever know, but it’s a cool concept. PvP players would’ve loved it I’m sure. No more having your giant nuke spender negated by a single dispel

With the reworked talents DP is going to be adding so much to our damage I’m not sure how anything else will complete if they added a second spender.
