Interrupts
Shaman Class Tree
Lightning Lasso - 45 sec - 5 sec Stun

Evoker Class Tree
Quell - 40 sec cd - Interrupt for 4 sec
Terror of the Skies - turns Breath of Eons/Deep Breath into a 3 sec stun 2 min / 1 min depending on specialization
Priest Class Tree
Interrupt - PW: GFY
Stun - PW: GFY - Unless your shadow and then we have so many 2 point nodes we lose dps taking it but we’re already close to the bottom
Give us an interrupt for we can be aligned with the rest of the classes and move Silence to the PvP tree.
Move Psychic Horror / Chastise to the class tree
Please fix the class tree and all of the 2 point nodes in Shadow. I can’t speak for Discipline or Holy.
Movement and Scaling
Scale Power Word: Shield, increase the cooldown to 20 or 30 seconds but make it worthwhile and replace Angelic Feather with Umbral Surge
Umbral Surge - Surge in a wave of void energy, phasing through enemies and obstacles while increasing your movement speed by 50% for 4 seconds. This ability is a short dash with a temporary speed boost. It allows you to reposition quickly or dodge mechanics. Enemies you pass through are briefly disoriented for 1 second. Think of it as blink/hover that removes / phases through roots. We need a form to remove roots from ourself.
Cooldown: 25 seconds - 2 charges. It could also replace Angelic Feather with the same - 3 charges - 20 sec cooldown.
Or
Void Step - A teleportation ability where the Void Priest steps through the Void, instantly traveling a short distance and leaving behind an afterimage that briefly lingers, distracting enemies. Enemies who touch the afterimage are feared in place for 3 seconds.
We don’t have lust or brez, Mass Dispel was nerf to the ground what else do we bring to the table? A stamina buff.
Please scale Void Tendrils and Flash Heal as well
Both major cooldowns for Shadow require a cast time. The only spec in the game that has this. Make them instant, why are we the only ones. Halo also used to be an instant cast.
Spreading Dots
Corruption of the Old Gods - an ability that causes any target affected by Vitality Touch or Shadow Word: Pain to transfer the DoT to nearby enemies when they take a critical hit from the Priest’s abilities.
Tentacles summon through Idol of C’Thun spread dots to nearby enemies.
Void Torrent spreads dots to nearby enemies with every tick.
Void Eruption taken away from Voidform with 2 Charges on a 20 sec cooldown. Shadow Crash is too slow and the way they’re designing the game to be fast paced i.e. Mythic + or mechanics where adds need to die quick. We can’t rely on Shadow Crash. 30 sec cd - 2 charges with every kill reducing the cooldown by 1 sec.
Idols need rework except for C’Thun
Idol of Yogg-Saron ( Psychic Link is our only AOE atm)
Every time you deal damage with your shadow abilities, Yogg-Saron whispers to your enemies having a chance to summon a shadowy apparition link to your target sharing health.
or
Having a chance to summon a shadowy apparition at the enemy’s location that pulses shadow energy dealing damage to all enemies within 10 yds every 1 sec for 8 sec.
Idol of Y’Shaarj
(Y’Shaarj is associated with emotions like anger, fear, and hatred, as well as corruption of the mind and body.)
Siphon of Despair
Every time you cast a direct damage ability, you siphon negative emotions from your target, building stacks of Despair. At 15 stacks, you unleash an Avatar of Y’Shaarj, dealing shadow damage to all nearby enemies and increasing your damage by 15% for 10 seconds.
Gift of Anger / Pride
Your damaging abilities have a chance to apply the Gift of Anger/Pride/Y’Shaarj which increases your critical strke chance by 1 or 2% stacking to 10. Each time you land a critical strike, summon a Sha of Anger/Pride for 8 seconds, which attacks your enemies and generate insanity. Each Sha of Anger/Pride reduces the damage dealt by enemies within 10 yards by 10%. If three or more Sha are active, you gain Dominion, increasing your damage by 15% for 10 seconds.
Idol of N’Zoth - increase the damage and the stack to 6. I’ll gladly take Twilight Devastation instead of Echoing Void or Infinite Star.
or
Your abilities have a chance to summon an Eye of N’Zoth - that fires a beam of shadow energy that blasts all enemies - reduced beyond 8 targets.
This are some of the ideas, I think would help the spec.
** Edit 1: Instead of removing Body and Soul to replace Angelic Feather with Umbral Surge / Void Step **
