8.1 Shadow Priest Changes

I was expecting something more along the lines of:

  • S2M removed and replaced .. / add new talent
  • Shadow Crash removed and replaced / add new talent
  • Void Torrent becomes baseline / add new talent
  • Mindbender becomes baseline / add new talent
  • Shadow Word: Void becomes baseline (Keeping Mind Blast name, but with 2 stacks)

But ey, having some movement speed increase during Dispersion will really come handy - once every 90 seconds.

I wished for the removal of S2M and Shadow Crash, really dislike those abilities and wanted something along the lines of:

  • S2M talent becomes Devouring Plague talent; replacing Voidform with a huge dot using Insanity as resource.
  • Shadow Crash becomes "whatever"; The damage of your dots on Mind Sear's main-target spread to nearby enemies.
