SHADOW PRIEST TREE:

• This one needs a full rework, let’s go with the reasons:
• It is bloated as hell, 55 talents to pick and only 30 points (next spec with most talents is discipline with 52, and none of the other goes over 49) makes it feel terrible.
• To be forced to pick ‘Mind bomb’/‘Psychic voice’ in order to be able to pick ‘Vampiric embrace’ feels bad.
• I understand you do not want us to pick both ‘Mind bomb/Psychic voice’ and ‘Psychic horror’ without have to reonunce to some DPS, but to put ‘psychic horror’ with ‘dispersion’ as prerrequisite is bad.
• It is impossible to pick 2 core utilities like ‘Vampiric embrace’ and ‘Dispersion’ at the same time without lose a DPS talent, to have to sacrifice DPS in order to have our utilities, feels bad, and goes against your own philosophy of, dont put utilities vs DPS in the choices.
• Too many talents empowering ‘mind fly’, even removing ‘dark thoughts’ from the ecuation, we can find that is more interesting keep using mind fly over void torrent.
• Too many talents in the third part of the tree, 22 talents to pick, and only 10 to use, overbloated.
• I love the ‘Idol’ spells, they can give a lot of variety to our gameplay and allow us to do some really crazy things, good job there, pity it’s hiding under so many issues with the rest of the tree.

I hope this reach you an helps you fix the issues the tree have.

I’m just gonna refer to my own post here

Optimisation of the shadow tree

This is a few changes that will make the shadow tree more or less perfect in my eyes Move Mindsear up to be part of the MF node - It’s two sides of the same coin, don’t make us pay double Move around Fortress of the Mind and Death and Madness - It makes more sense to have our “mass” death placed alongside our AOE, and MF/MB buffs on the ST side of things Searing Nightmare - Replace it with a standalone version of Void Eruption Make two or all of these free nodes, Silence, Dispersion, Vampiri…

I personally think this is the work that needs to be done, It’s not a full rework but it’s a massive one
