Maybe - it feels like a mixed bag. Don’t mind mind spike going but unfurling darkness was important. The capstone talent reworks look good, as do the shadow crash changes.
There seems to be a lot to get our heads round so I feel we’ll have to play around with it.
Personally I’ll be hoping for some good videos from better players than me to point me in the right direction.

Tbh nothing will change from a pvp pov.

Still only spec with 0 mobility, still have to hardcast everything including our burst.

Unfurling darkness gone is terrible, it was a micro burst and a free instant dot application.

Double shadow crash is good but should have been base line since a long time, being hard cap and the only spec with 0 aoe in this game is so troll.

Also don’t for get there is a bug with shadow crash if a target run out of your Los then your dots aren’t applied on the target.

Mind spike is a great spell in pvp cause it’s on Shadow frost school so being kicked on shadow mean you can still press this button but for some reason it does no dmg anymore so you are forced to play with mind flay… And then they remove it.

So yeah, sp will stay Overall same or even worst than actually imo.

It has potential for both dot and rot, and blaster playstyle, I just feel they need to move the talents around a bit more to make a clear divide between the two. And from the looks of it crit might start getting weighed higher

As for the upcoming tier bonuses, Archon got shafted hard! tiny damage buff and 2 more halo’s is nothing in comparison to what voidweaver gets, massive damage boost, reduced cast time and CD
