Honestly it occurred to me that soul shards could be made into some great gameplay. Too late now naturally.
Either multiple ways to spend them, or have them provide a stacking buff which can be burned off for some spell which provides a quick source of damage rather than a long lasting and consistent one.
Too late now obviously.
Should one expect addons designed purely to manage Soul Effigy painlessly?
I think SE would be much better if we had snazzier tools with which to multidot, since that's clearly what they want to encourage.
Because I do like the Voodoo Doll idea for Affliction. And it could be used for other things down the line.
