Wishlist for 11.0.7

More and more I grow tired of having to cope with light-themed effects for Shadow. Not just the annoying levitate sparkle, but the healing utility and PW:S.

If Divine Star and Halo can appear shadowy for the spec, why not the other spells?

All I can give is a new VFX for shaman spells and a new glyph for ascendance, take it or leave it

Wishlist for whenever they decide to acknowledge we’re still part of the game:

  • Silence in Class Tree; move Last Word to Silence’s spot in Shadow Tree
  • Door of Shadows in Class Tree, 1 sec cast; make Angelic Feather and Body and Soul a choice node
  • Make Power Infusion self cast only
  • Remove Twins of the Sun Priestess; replace with ability that turns Power Infusion into mini lust (10% haste for party)
  • Halo and Divine Star replaced with Cascade
  • Power Surge (Archon) is now activated by Cascade
  • Resonant Energy (Archon) now increases direct damage only by 5% stacking up to 5 times
  • Divine Halo (Archon) renamed to Divine Cascade, now makes Cascade jump two additional times
  • Bake Mind Spike (with Mind Melt) into Dark Ascension, turning Flay into Spike for duration
  • New talent, Surge of Death: consuming Surge of Insanity allows SW:D to be castable at 200% value regardless of target’s health (replaces Mind Spike node)
  • New talent, Searing Mind: causes MF and MS to radiate minor damage to nearby targets, spreading 3 sec. of DoTs on the current target to all targets hit each tick, excluding DP (replaces Mind Melt node)
  • MS:I is instant cast
  • Shadow Crash no longer applies DoTs; applies Slow to targets hit
  • Devouring Plague now has a chance to spread to nearby targets each tick, applying DP at 100% effectiveness for the duration remaining when spread
  • Dark Ascension is now instant cast and casts a Halo upon activating; now also includes floating visual
  • Voidform now increases DoT damage by 15%
  • Entropic Rift (Voidweaver) increases the rate in which DoTs deal damage to affected targets by 20%
  • Psychic Link reverted to transfer only a percentage of direct damage abilities (removing Mind Flay and Void Torrent from abilities that activate it); Psychic Link now does reduced damage above 8 targets

I think that’s about all I had. Pushing more identity to Shadow’s cooldowns, reinforcing synergy between Voidform and Voidweaver, likewise Dark Ascension and Archon. Giving all Priests the mobility and interrupt they deserve.

My wish list, but it will never happen:

Give us our pure holy dps spec, whether that is a light form in either the disc or holy tree or a 4th spec like druids got, just a holy ranged dps spec that uses smite as the primary filler for dps. Been on many of our wish list since vanilla, still not a thing.

I’d love to see that. But question: does it really need a cast time? :thinking: I don’t think any other gap closer / gap maker in the game has one. Unless, of course, that Door of Shadows had a very short cooldown.

I think it’s fair. It falls somewhere between a Warlock gate and a Blink to anywhere. Also, considering we don’t have any displacement at all currently, I’m willing to have a short cast time for it. I did specify 1 sec cause I think the Shadowlands version has a 1.5 second cast time which feels a little too long.

I don’t want it if it has a cast time, especially if body and soul and feather are made a choice node. Didn’t like door of shadows in SLs at all.

Right? It could be called Inquisitor! Light based ranged dps, would be incredible. I’d probably stop healing and just pew pew with the power of the Naaru

For Oracle Disc:

  • 2nd PW Shield charge
  • For defensive Penance and the original cast of Prayer of Mending to pop atonement on people
  • Renew applies 2 renews/atonements to the group
  • buffs to renew and prayer of mending ( up mana costs if you need to )
  • buffs to Preventive Measures in the Oracle tree for disc, add prayer of mending to the list of buffed spells
  • Uppies to be instant cast and start faster, also drop us down faster
  • More penance bolts obvs
  • Return Cascade
  • Buff to Crystalline reflection for oracle ( both dps/healing )
  • Buff to Contrition
  • buff to angelic feather speed ( 80% movement for us, keep it the same for our target )
  • Add silence to the class tree
  • Buff Luminous Barrier
  • contrition to also work with offensive Penance

  • Take a page from Paladin’s Turn Undead and modernize Shackle Undead to Shackle Evil or just Shackle, making it effective against two more enemy types.
  • Make Time Spiral give us another charge of Angelic Feather and increase Feather’s speed.
  • Cascade and Spectral Guise. I just think they’re neat.
  • Walk back some of the nerfs on Mass Dispel.
  • Make Dominate Mind last longer and cast faster when recapturing a previously dominated target. My delicate priest bones thank you in advance.
  • Give Shadow Priests more glyphs to help maintain their aesthetic.
