Voidweaver Shadow Priest Overview
With the release of The War Within Alpha to the public, we now have access to the Voidweaver Hero Talent tree for both Shadow and Discipline Priest. This new set of tools allows priests to tap into the cosmic powers that we saw on display during the Sarkareth encounter in Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible to create a powerful Void Rift and empower their existing spells. Before the release of Voidweaver it was pretty obvious Shadow Priests would be gaining a set of Hero Talents dedicated to the Void, what was unclear is what exactly that would mean. Were we going to be delving into the powers of the cosmos or summoning an army of tentacled servants to do our bidding? It's to my delight that it's the former. While Shadow has had brushes with «Cosmic Horror» in the past, those have been more on the horror side of things. Join me as we dive into the state of Voidweaver on The War Within Alpha and the gifts we have been bestowed by our dark lady Xal'Atath.
Talent Rundown
- Entropic Rift: Causes Void Torrent to summon a void zone near the target when the channel ends. This zone will then travel to the target and follow them, inflicting AoE damage to everything it touches.
- No Escape: The rift slows targets by up to 80% while they are inside it, with the slow being stronger the closer they are to the centre of the rift.
- Dark Energy: Void Torrent can be cast and channelled while moving. Your movement speed is increased by 20% when Entropic Rift is active.
- Void Blast: This powerful spell replaces Mind Blast while Entropic Rift is active. It currently hits incredibly hard and is the primary payoff for the rift mechanic.
- Inner Quietus: A basic node that increases Shadow's DoT damage, despite its lack of real impact it's good to see a long neglected part of Shadow's damaging kit get a mention.
- Devour Matter: A niche option that buffs Shadow Word: Death against absorb
