The only good thing in midnight you finally removing void torrent from the game and silence as a talent making it learned instead and some priest talents are optional now.
Now for the bad things we still can’t choose to have void form look or Dark ascension look, why can’t we glyph the spells out from tentacles. Can’t you add more ghost and benders and wings.
Why can’t you add a barbershop option for shadow thing so you can choose if you want void form to be wings or a gash cloud.
Why is void form a cast time and halo a cast time when paladins Divine Toll/wings are instant cast cast and does trillion interrupts.
Also remove stress form play its not fun having to ninja pull because tank is slow, (If void weaver).
why is there no doors of shadow from shadowlands really sad.
Can a dev give an honest answer to why stress form is a thing after so many people have voiced and quit the game because of it?
why can’t we dps during dispersion meanwhile paladins can do damage while in bubble.
Not looking forward to this next season in midnight at all. It’s Mid tier.
Also shadow form why can’t that stay on like paladins auras even after you die.
Can’t you make stamina buff like auras like the one monks and paladins has.
They should add back mind spike and dark ascension. And add back shadow word death hits for more make it worth hit for with moth than 20th make it 100th than 20th.
If they release this force ninja every pack to stay relevant due to void form ticking of I’m seriously going back to holy.
I can understand their wanting to improve on dotting. but seriously don’t remove instant damage Voidweaver due to 1% matter club
I’m having fun with mind bender in delvs build now in next expack they are forcing us to pick void form for no reason other than their expanded mind set is set on the only mythic rosters people.
I don’t find it one bit fun that in the next expack if you lagg out on pull you gonna lose void form due to server lagging.
They need to go away from the needing to keep void form up its not fun.
instead of making depth of shadows a chance to spawn mindbender on any health. They are nerfing it down from 35% to 20% why I really don’t see.-
I do like that we dont have to pick mind control (for pve) or holy nova dead talents as shadow to get talents.
They could at lest let us customize if we want wings or fart cloud void form and make it instant cast. In barber shop or with glyphs
Its still week 1 of alpha and abviously haven’t implemented all shadow changes yet.
I prefered Voidweaver since the launch because it was simpler than Archon and didnt have to look at the action bar for cds, so the removal of Void Torrent (which i’ll miss) is worrying to me.
If Entropic Rift is created by Voidform it’s gonna be Archon 2.0.
I figured Shadow Crash’s coding was so busted, it would be better to create a new spell which i’m really happy with. Not only because we dont have to wait for mobs to gather up (since Tentacle slam hits mobs infront of us and around the target) but also because it prioritizes undoted mobs).
Door of shadows would be a welcome addition since we wont be able to move with Void Torrent (rip)
Visual Cosmetics would also be nice but after balance issues are fixed.
Edit: As some one in Us suggested rename Shadow Word: Madness to Devour
The extension part of SW:M is now a talent in a choice node. So you don’t have to stress to keep it up for as long as possible. And MF:I only procs from Halo, so over capping those procs is going to be hard
I have a feeling that it’ll get the Halo treatment and become the first node in the Voidweaver tree. And I think it’s going to function like ice mage’s Glacial spike, where they have the visual CD for it, and then replacing Frost bolt, but for shadow it’s probably going to be orbs/ravens for the visual and replacing MF when off CD
True, but it’s a bit back and fourth, sometimes you rez with it active other times you don’t it’s pretty weird
Could be said for all buffs in the game then, but that would be problematic with shadowform being an aura already
It is currently 20% modified by Deathspeaker to make it 35%, which remains in Midnight, so it’s exactly the same, except it’s a choice node with Death and Madness. So you gotta choose between extended execute range with 25% more damage, or normal execute range but with double casts
And the any health part was only for Deathspeaker procs, from before they changed it to the current version
It’s still just week one of alpha, so chill a little, it might come when we reach beta where they do more tuning and cosmetic stuff
I am happy they’ve simplified the spec a little as I thought it was often just looking at procs and adjusting the DPS rotation because of it.
I am sad they removed void torrent. I thought it was cool and I’m gonna miss it. And what someone add, for PvP i’m gonna miss the fact I had a cast that did decent dmg with collapsing void ontop AND could move while casting.
Kinda feel like we’re gonna be a hitting dummy even more.
I’d love a instant voidform. Never understood why this ability was a cast especially in modern WoW.
@Coops I think its a bit unreasonable to ask to get OP because of xpack. Its only in the favor of those whom play the class, making all other people dissatisfied with our state.
its gonna be meta by a silly willy dev team who doesn’t think independently 10 sec lag when pulling boss screen freeze when fighting the boss gonna be so fun watching void form dust of like a toil** flush.
No barber shop customization to change void from to dark ascension. Their only focus on void form nothing else shows the lack of dev team cares for this class at all.
the dots outside void form = wet noddle meanwhile ret paladin gets 10 interrupts and everything instant cast.
Their way of removing void torrent doesn’t bother me. It wasn’t a fun ability to begin with in pvp it hit for nothing.
I think void bolt is getting replaced by the void torrent thing maybe they will interpret the void void bolt thing on it that it refresh dots?
Still alpha.
What killed voidweaver for me is the removal of Dark ascension it was so fun to play with.
I do like the change but i still think they should Try season 1 with mind bender void weaver aoe if it doesnt work. I will look back but, I think if they buffed the in depth talent for voidweaver shadow priest will go 2.0 from 0.0005 alpha WOD state.
In delvs its so fantastic to play with mindbender voidweaver due to hitting adds with 35% gives you mindbender which heals I wish they buffed the talent up to 80% or 75% instead. They just need to buff the talent more so it crits to spawn the mindbender more cap it down to 3 mindbenders instead of 5.
Yes archon will benefit from the extension talent, but we still don’t know how voidweaver will look, but one thing is for certain, it won’t ever choose the extension talent as it most likely won’t get a 20% damage buff to it like archon, and without that there’s really no reason to extend as voidweaver
And if server lag is the reason you loose time in VF, then every other class should hurt just as much as they wouldn’t be able to maximize ability usage
Perfected Form just got massively nerfed, so going extended VF might not be the way anymore
And from the looks of it I think Archon is going to be the easiest to play
And I do dislike how blizzard branded apex talents to be so good that we’ll always want them. Currently when looking at Voidweaver, we don’t want them at all. But I guess the bright side is it’ll give 4 points to place elsewhere in the tree
And if you looked at the actual changes… It’s only a 5% damage buff for Archon, which I’ve been trying to tell you. And it currently looks like Voidweaver don’t want to spend talent points on it
With Archon it’s the only “burst” ability that actually pauses between pulls
You need to remember that VF replaces SF. So the 10% damage VF gives is just so that it doesn’t actually reduce our damage using it, as it replaces the 10% SF gives. And as I said Perfected Form (Archon hero talent) has been nerfed from 20% to 5%, heavily reducing the need to extend it
And with Void Bolt replaced with Void Volley, which is stronger yes, but it has a 15 sec CD so you’ll only get 2 casts non extended and maybe 5 extended
And you’ll have the choice between increasing VF damage by 5% or extension. Giving you a choice to not play like it used to
Because i’ve told you the reasons. The why is due to Archon is fixed with minor after leaving combat void form stays up. Meanwhile Voidweaver doesn’t.
It puts shadow priest with one dead specc (voidweaver) and one semi viable specc Archon if you got a 30k Euro PC that doesn’t lagg on an opening pull to lagg of your void form.
They should focus more on buffing dots and its damage instead of buffing putting so much effort in to a dead thing like void form.
Paladin has it easy their thing doesn’t affect their gameplay one bit it gets up without cast time or effort of thinking of having to move constantly due to swirls and people attacking you.
Pvp wise shadow is gonna be not viable anymore. Pve wise Its still a dev what are you doing problem.
Will look foward to priest in botton tier for 4th expack in a rown.
I’m happy void torrent is gone but their focus is wrong with the void form cast time make [Void Volley] activate void form instead with instant cast like paladins wake of ashes.
make it a minor cd like 45 sec (like wake of ashes) with it being up for max 22 sec nothing more or less then everyone can max it without the stress for each pulls.
