  1. I am… somewhat sceptical that Void Torrent is properly tuned. They got it right compared to old torrent, but even on sims there it's almost double the value of anything else on single target, and the row has sparing to little aoe value, which is fine. I think the better direction to good would be to tune torrent down a little (9% increase instead of 11 maybe) and then to play off Bender's lack of opportunity cost and gear it towards cleave damage in much the same way the shadowflame prism legendary is trying to do. Shadow's talents mostly do well at being a tool kit you chop and change based on what you're doing, and continuing that here seems the best way to make sure all three talents see their fair share of use across all of SL's content.

  2. This change has another possitive effect, which is that it is easier to not lose damage because you have to move while you are casting Void Torrent. I personally liked the change a lot (thought it might even been a buff on damage to the spell, but if math says it is not, then it is not), because it personalices the spell, and gives it a clear niche, plus clears the field for both mindbender and damnation in regards of 'when and where' you want to use each of them. Another great talent row now.

  3. I like this for raid encounters but I think I would have preferred and AoE burst ability. None of the talents on that row are great for AoE. AS is on ptr with azerite but once we’re focusing on SN builds, it’s much less valuable.

  4. I have been playing the prepatch voitd torrent. feels very flavor of the month. Im glad they changed it though, bc i basically use VT instead of Damnation bc of the on demand DP and the focused damage, and dot refresh.

  5. It would be cool if picking Void Torrent and Ancient Madness would make it so you want to start off Voidform with a mega Void Torrent, but there are already 2 spells you want to use asap with Mind Blast and Voidbolt unfortunately.

  6. pretty disappointing. having a sweet opener with misery into void torrent that also applies dp was so refreshing. 2 gcds and youre at full dmg. the closer were to release the less excited i become with shadow. once they worked the pandemic into dp a few weeks ago the spec was perfect and they should have stopped doing anything but number tweaking.

  7. I love the change because it doesn't really make it awkward when using it during void form in between the void bolt CD. I always had to clip a full channel when pairing it with hungering void and really hated it.

    Also Spriest Hype.

  8. I actually like the idea of it being "never cast it in void form". Gives you a nice big thing to do in between void forms when you generate insanity at a slower rate etc

  9. Forgive me for being so nit-picky about something that has nothing to do with the content of the video, but in your final graphic where you list your patreon supporters, they're called "patrons" not "patreons". It should be "Old God Patrons" not "Old God Patreons".

    Sorry, can't help but notice stuff like that lol

  10. This is so nice for initial insanity generation. Generating enough insanity to use a searing nightmare or 2 starting from zero felt really horrible. Using this at the start of a dungeon pull to get your insanity rolling in 3 seconds is very nice.
