There's also a mechanic in Castle Nathria with the same name.

The Ghost song is about that so it could be a reference to both...

Danse Macabre is such an old, medieval, iconic and widely referenced trope that linking this talent with that one specific pop culture song is pretty ignorant.

Ignoring that there's a possibility that the developer that named the ability was also a fan of Ghost is pretty ignorant as well. We're at a standstill here until we hear from that specific Blizzard employee.

Maybe the person who came up with the spell "Shadow Dance" was a fan of "Eyes of the Nightmare Jungle". /s

See how silly you sound?

Resorting to personal attacks...sure sign of defeat. Thanks for your time sir. Come back when you have evidence to prove me wrong.

Here's evidence: They named the talent "Danse Macabre." The title of the song by Ghost is "Dance Macabre."

I think Blizzard CMs should require a primary school teacher's degree to deal with you impatient clowns. There's literally a line in the post (it's "only six sentences" and you waited two months, surely you can read the whole thing) that says they'll post more tomorrow, but you need the internet clout so badly you have to complain about it immediately. Touch grass.

They're not wrong about the way classes are handled, unfortunately. Feels like it's a new dev who doesn't play the class. I used to enjoy at least 4 of 5 classes, but they all feel clunky. The class dev who worked on rogue and spriest left, even made a vid on it, and it shows.

Now I know how shammies felt in Vanilla.

this is basic shit lol

Actually, I do. I do not, however, play sub. But, I think you missed some posts between that one and the ones to follow or you wouldn't have asked the question.

Yeah, never heard of that band, but I know the term "Danse Macabre" existed before my own self.

Danse Macabre (first performed in 1875) is the name of opus 40 by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. And the term itself is even older.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danse_Macabre

The Danse Macabre (/dɑːns məˈkɑːb(rə)/; French pronunciation: ​[dɑ̃s ma.kabʁ]) (from the French language), also called the Dance of Death, is an artistic genre of allegory of the Late Middle Ages on the universality of death.

The Danse Macabre consists of the dead, or a personification of death, summoning representatives from all walks of life to dance along to the grave, typically with a pope, emperor, king, child, and laborer.
