I love the shadow priest culty fantasy - but given modern shadow priests are all about void / old god lore, is it a bit odd that one of our core kit revolves around a plague, which is generally associated with the death and necrotic area of the WoW cosmos
I get the spell is a hangover from the old classic Forsaken priest era, when shadow priests weren’t as defined, but I’d kinda prefer to see this brought in line with current shadow priest lore - anyone else feel the same?
Yes, it has bugged me for sometime. Could easily change the name to Devouring Madness or Void or something. Perhaps Consume Psyche. If they insist on it staying the same, they could at least give us a way to spread it like a plague spreads. Plagues suit Affliction warlock more though so it is very bizarre we still have it.
