I Tried the New Shadow Priest in WoW's Next Expansion

[@void_bound]

I've been waiting so long for them to update shield and make it more shadowy Nothing screams "dark void" and "succumb to madness" like pink glitter and sparkles

[@ziggs123]

They should make "Void" a school of magic. Getting kicked on shadow will let you cast Voidform/Void Torrent/Voidblast, but if kicked on "Void" it also locks you out on shadow, same as Mind Spike works.

[@zak8991]

Been saying this since Legion lol

[@dcalliou7]

That would defeat the purpose of silence or interrupt.

[@zak8991]

@@dcalliou7 No it wouldn’t. You kick a spell to lock them out of a school of magic. Like for destru locks you never want to kick them on fire because then they could hard cast fear or chaos bolt for free. But if you kick them on Bolt then it locks them out of “chaos” which is fire and shadow. Similar to how “shadow frost” school works with shadow priest. Which is what OP is talking about turning certain spells into shadow frost or “void”. Essentially giving shadow a “chaos bolt” that you would always want to kick

[@dcalliou7]

@zak8991 you realize bolt doesn't lock both right? I pvp on one. Void is and always will be shadow. It's pointless

[@zak8991]

[@zometthecomet]

So what we get is dragonflight with a small talent tree in a a new zone ?

[@DanielCruz-qr6qu]

5:05 lmao i had the same reaction, zero effort went into that spell...i was expecting a mini "Star Bomb"...but nop, all we get is a dark blob on the ground. So far the VFX for voidweaver look very underwhelming. We have all seen how cool they can make these cosmic void spells(star bomb i am looking at you)...there is no excuse for them not to put some effort into voidweaver's vfx.

[@ntn8265]

Most of them look a bit underwhelming, need to ask blizzard to make it better, take to forums and spam ask it, they said and showed they’re willing to listen and iterate

[@ChromaticEagle]

It’s alpha my guy they’ll update the visuals later on

[@faculty5999]

in game development visuals are almost always the last things to polish so don't judging to soon :) tbh all of the new skills looks amazing after the polishing look at the new covenant skill animations.

[@derekmorris89]

This may actually have me come back to WoW since i oh so love my shadow priest.

[@princessmagilou]

loved your shadowfiend 15:28

[@petr9516]

not sure why for SP the rift procs from Void Torrent and for Disc priest it procs from mindblast. A bit weird

[@zak8991]

they orginally had datamined it as mind blast for shadow, but obviously that would be too strong...lol. So they just tie it in with CD's respectively which makes more sense

[@petr9516]

​@@zak8991 Well having it bound to baseline ability make much more sense, being too strong or not is only play with fine tuning of the numbers not actual gameplay. I have tried both versions and disc feels much more smooth

[@zak8991]

@@petr9516Yea I agree about it being baseline. Forcing shadow to go torrent for probably the whole expansion if you play that hero would probably get boring. But unfortunately shadow doesn’t have any innate “shadow burst” CD. If they had it tied in with MB for shadow the rift would be tuned to feel way less significant. And probably would change prio where you want to make sure to cast MB on CD or when it procs otherwise you would lose a ton of overall. Having it on a CD is nice because it’s a one in done burst rather than another maintenance dot you’d have to juggle

[@TheUghleeMonk]

I wish our Shadowfiend would apparitions like ours coming off.

Hey ´boni, do you still have your job as game developer or are you fully back to streaming?

Been playing Ret Pally for a eternity but Shadow looks really fun to play may give it a whirl

[@salte9223]

Wait... they literally implemented the 1997 spellbook from Everquest...LOL

[@ChadCawleyYT]

Dang i already like the looks of void torrent currently :/ i wish they kept OG mindflay without the shadow feature over it unless you're in shadow form that would be cool, like mind flay without the shadow unless you're in shadowform and then void torrent the same unless you're in shadowform then it gets the shadow feature look over the move

[@ancientseed2607]

I’m pumped, this looks great 👍

[@JumpscareRodent]

Yes.. I would love to customize my character background and poses too

[@GacktSama1992]

You should quit and play other games, you’ll save money and be happier

[@Bloomingmandrakes]

Did they get rid of mind flay?

[@MarieBuns]

No, in this video it's replaced by Mind Spike. If you don't spec into Mind Spike, you have Mind Flay instead. :) You can even see him play with Mind Flay later on in the video.

the arachnophobia setting has been on wow private servers for a while. usually the spiders were swapped with a wooden box. blizzard also stole the classless idea from Ascension wow

[@jamisonjamisonx]

I just love how they really addressed the absolute sheer number of talents we have resulting in an unnecessarily complicated rotation...oh wait, they didn't address that did they.

[@dakhaos588]

They have. They remove a couple of defensive abilities and some abilities for some specs.

no instant cast? bout to have a rough time trying to cast once more with the million micro ccs in the game

Only if youre being trained. But honestly every caster apart from fire mage and boomy have a hard time getting damage off while trained. Thats the way its always been. If your highest damaging ability was instant then casters would be gods

oooo holy shit please let shadow priest stay like this!

[@Krone-wow]

Great now they just gotta have mind flay castable while moving

Lets be honest about this. You get loads of passive powers that, in the end, have to also be balanced so they're already useless hero talents? "I get 20% more damage on Vampiric Touch and Shadow Word: Pain" but in reality you don't.

[@alexis1156]

Still not as fun as s1 dragonflight s priest. They just needed to make a choice node between link and sear, then add the dot extension to plink too, some better talent connections, and crash at 20 seconds. And it would have been great. Instead they did a completely unnecessary spriest rework, that was mostly a failure. Good damage, but that's just balance, the gameplay suffered.
