Developers’ notes: The Shadow tree has undergone a number of changes in Ghosts of K’aresh that we’re excited to share along with our intent with these changes.
A major goal for us was to update the less impactful or interesting talents in the last three rows of the tree. We like the theme with the idols as capstones but have heard from the community that some of their effects have been lacking. We’ve also added a new ability that can be used after Void Torrent called Void Volley which we think will be an exciting rotational and visual addition to the spec.
We’re making some adjustments to Shadow Crash as well, giving it more flexibility and the option to significantly increase its damage. This does come with a reduction in the number of targets Vampiric Touch is applied to from 8 to 6, but we feel this is a necessary change to ensure Shadow’s damage at lower target counts remains competitive when we do our tuning passes.
While the balance between Mind Flay and Mind Spike has been in a good place, we feel it’s best to recenter the spec on its core and iconic fantasies and Mind Flay is the obvious choice for us to keep in the long term, so we’re removing Mind Spike. We’re keeping Mind Melt with some minor adjustments for it to support the same gameplay for Mind Flay and providing an option to choose between increasing the damage of Mind Flay and using it to increase Mind Blast damage which we think will support each Hero Talent tree in meaningfully different ways.
We’re making a simplification change to Deathspeaker with the aim of reducing the potential number of competing priorities the spec has. We’re looking to create more breathing room and clarity in the rotation while still impacting how often you use Shadow Word: Death in the rotation. We’re also bringing back a previous class set we thought had fun interactions as a follow-up node to Deathspeaker.
- Ils vont virer MS.
- Shadow Crash aura 2 charges et un CD plus court.
- On aura un nouveau sort qu’on pourra lancer après Torrent.
- Rework des capstones.
- Quelques autres changements.
C’est très sympa mais ils ont rien touché à la mobilité… Qui est un gros problème. Les CD casté aussi sont un problème.
