What an awful title. But yeah, thank god for that.

They should just buff it and add it to mastery, easy and done. Adding it to Insanity is cool and all but I don't think this is a good fix.

[tricam]

It would make Insanity more mandatory than it already is for the most part. They may as well make Insanity a baseline ability.

Not necessarily. Surge of Darkness is still very strong on council style encounters and for spread multitarget.

Poor Mindbender though made further obsolete.

While I love the buff to Sear, yeah they may as well make Insanity baseline at this point or add an AoE/cleave component to the other two talents or find some niche for them. SoD has its value but mindbinder doesn't seem to be useful at this point.

Other than that, how many of the data mined changes are new changes, not server side hotfix updates?

I was also hoping to see a VEntropy buff or a small tweak to AS but I guess they might make that change later or see how BRF turns out.

Most of these were tooltip updates and only a small handful of buffs. It's inevitable for Entropy to get a buff/rework given Kris Zierhut outright stated that Shadow 100 talents aside from CoP suck.

Which is why I said for the most part. Council style fights are typically one out of a raid tier.

[cleangirls]

I welcome the insanity mind sear change, but doesn't this make ONE talent too strong compare to the rest? How will they compensate for the other two talents with this buff?

Make mind spike cleave? for SOD
Mind binder 30 sec cd? and with a aoe splash dmg? (sounds OP)


idk just saying random stuff that appears in my brain lol.

Sweet baby jesus, hope this works well.

[Kaibel]

Anyone have an idea of how our aoe damage will work if we that this?

Will it just be single target rotation until we get SI?

This does not make any sense at all. What you want is them buffin the other two talents or reworkin them (Vent) ... not nerfin COP 'cause if you wanna play a nerfed version, you can take one of the other 2 talents right now.

So you want the only talent that makes us viable be nerfed ? Why not buff the others ? Seems incredibly stupid to me.

Did they buff SW or is that just a tooltip update?

Shadow Word: Death (Shadow) A word of dark binding that inflicts [ 1 + 161.78% -> 270% of Spell Power ] Shadow damage to the target and grants a Shadow Orb.

They did buffed it actually. They also buffed mind sear, mind blast, mind flay, divine star and our mastery.

Was hoping they buff our dots to make Vent and AS little bit more viable.
