Could be the trauma from all my Shadow Crashes hitting a chain on the ceiling during a pull, but Void Crash is now my permanent choice

A couple of nights ago I was doing an AV...first pull, I wait for the tank to gather up all the Lashers and throw out my Shadow Crash. The Lashers had all started casting, so the healer used Ring of Peace EXACTLY where I had targeted my Shadow Crash and so I completely missed everything. Spamming Vampiric Touch on name plates hopping all over the place while lust is rolling feels so miserable, lol.

do relate. happens alot of Ring of peace too for me

best part of this is seeing you and Emigosa in the same party. If that's who Im thinking about then the two of you produce my fav Shadow content

I hope you make some more content for how shadow priests are right now in the beta. Id really like to hear your thoughts about how they feel right now and your thoughts going into the new expac.

So glad we finally have an alternative to Shadow Crash. It's insane to me that Shadow Priests entire ability to do big AoE was completely dependant on a slow moving, missable skillshot. Like what the heck Blizzard. All these other classes have guaranteed, fast hitting abilities and Shadow Priest just has a slow ass missle that can also miss, which would require several GCD's of setup to replace.

Yeah, i was doing Algethar Academy yesterday. That big pull at the tree boss is just absolute shit for shadow priests. Mobs moving around as the tank pulls, so you need to sit and wait with Crash, and by the time everything is bundled together, all the small mobs are already half dead. Pulls like that would be SLIGHTLY better with Void because you just cast it on one of the big ones and it should hit whatever it can around it. It will still suck because you're capped at 8, but well..

It wouldn’t be broken, it would crash m+ and raid completely, ur class is the best st and aoe class atm imagine being uncapped or imagine fire mage would have his dmg back from s2 keys would be ez 22-23

I'll be playing Spriest for the first time in TWW. Lookin' forward to the guide! :D Thanks for the video!

Can we plz address the issue that it still won’t prio elites over minions? I hate throwing a crash to have it apply to minions that dies in .5secs then I have to manually dot, the trees in brackenhide are horrible at this.

Good video as usual. I think this change is a big win for shadow, and this with the 2 hero talent trees make me think shadow might have a stable dev team for once, which is even better. Although I feel bad because idk if I will be able to play the next expansion at all (have a full time job for the first time in... feels like forever, and not time enough to play). I will keep coming here to know about how things are going anyway, in case I have the chance to play again, you are the best for shadow related stuff.

Would be cool for the class feel, like something where you have some sort of corrupting sin. Spreads your dots to nearby enemies. So if there are more than 8 mobs you could spread the dots in a cool way. Also adds some forgiveness if the dots hit weaker minions as opposed to prio targets or some leap out… not as punishing having to spam tab to keep dotting.

One change i'd really like to see (and this is true for both Shadow and Void): Prefer dotting higher health targets/targets that will live longer. Pulls like the tree area in Algethar Academy comes to mind. I'd much rather throw it and have it prioritize dotting the big trees and the wasps, than 1 tree and 7 small flowers (which are already half health because we have to wait for everything to stop moving). Pulls like that just feel horrible as shadow priest atm. Speaking of Z-axis, no more accidentally placing Shadow Crash in the ceiling, or on random trees or flags if you pick Void Crash :P But yeah, if the target teleport out to slash a party member, (first boss in Brackenhide for instance), you might end up missing a lot of other targets. I think it's a great choice to have though. There will probably be packs/bosses where Void Crash is just easier and more consistent, so it's nice to be able to go back and forth a bit depending on the scenario.

Im so used to shadowcrash already but for PVP I think void crash will be the go to for me, losing my mouse in combat or just flat out misjudging the distance when I'm juggling multiple situations does make shadowcrash a little harder when doing RBGs.

Good point!

You keep me playing wow

Personally I like that there is a different Option but I think I´m gonna stay shadow crash aswell, even if a moving tank will be "easier" with voidcrash you just have to fail and use it on the range mob and the tank pulling the pack is gonna denie you again. Something that would be really great to garantie you to hit those, would be if they add something like a "stack" that if you just hit 3 target with it they have the remaining stacks on them and if they will be pulled close to another target those remaining stacks could hop over to the new target (I don´t care if its only the remaining time of the Dot since adding new freshly new dot would be OP in chainpulls). Something like that would be pretty awesome and take alot of stress and hate out of the slow flying ball and the unfortunate feeling you have after missing it. Buff on the Range of Shadowcrash sounds also really good, but only a small increase so that you can´t add by accident any new packs to it (10-12yards sounded good). For the Limit of the targets dotted I always dreamed of getting uncapped dots out of it but that would probally be waaaay to overtuned even tho it would be reeeeally fun :D

how does it function on targets with Large hitboxes. Some raid bosses are huge and adds may not be in their direct center

It functions just as if you cast normal shadow crash right under the mob. Which is why it could really bait certain players on those encounters with the current implementation

@@Publikwow TY so much. Im new in Dragonflight, and i love shadow priest and your videos are great.

Not me desperately searching the video for him to open his talent tree just once...

What I would like to see, is a kind of charged spell (like evokers have) to apply the dots. Like, the longer you charge, the more insanity it costs, but the more targets it hits. Would really add a dynamic to the spec.

Holy shit you're playing with Chrissy!

Glad they included the option, I like this kind of choice. On a related note, it's deeply sad to see that dark ascension will likely be the play over void eruption for voidweaver for the foreseeable future - ignoring numbers tuning, a flat 25% dmg buff with no impact on gameplay is so flavorless compared to the new spell/enhanced gameplay you get with void eruption. I hope DA is reworked or removed before release.

That what I like about void crash

Increasing the radius would be a great improvement for sure. Hope they implement that.

I will miss the basement view.

I'm still leveling my first shadow priest, curreently lvl43, and I've never played a worse class for aoe. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I had no aoe for maybe 40 levels, then I got shadow crash and now I can aoe but only every 20 seconds and the size of the effect feels way too small. I've missed a few when mobs agro me as the slowwww shadow crash bolt is flying through the air and they all ran to me, it took too long to dot them all 1 by 1 so the pack killed me, so I'd be happy for void crash for that.

I see every few pro's for Shadow. I will be using void.

Does anyone remember "dark void" spell? I really liked that. Void Crash is an answer to prayers!!!

Yeah that style applied to Shadow Crash would be good, although that exact spell wouldnt be very useful right now!

Why not make it so you can target friendly units with it too, like the old mind sear. You could pre-cast it on the tank or position yourself where the sarkareth adds spawn

shadow crash just needs a bigger radius and not limit the dot count in PvE, and if they're not willing to increase the radius then it needs charges. Crash is just way too unforgiving to be our primary dot spreader and in keys, it always ends up being 'if only i could dot them all', and this season it's basically, crash, tab dot, void eruption to extend and if you prefer DA you're SOL. If you could extend dots on Mind flay insanity to a group that could also be a compromise. Void crash seems to just make it not possible to miss a target, but could be the wrong choice given the use case.

Uncapping the DoT application can cause knock-on effects that make it hard to balance. If they did that they would need to adjust the scaling on our DoTs at certain target thresholds.

Not sure if you still read comments on "old" videos Publik, but do you feel like Dark Ascension will remain the go-to for TWW? I love SP, but avoid playing it if Void Eruption performs far better (hate that spell). If it helps anyone, I can heavily recommend the Addon "Grounded" for "cast on button release" macros (unlike "cast at cursor" macros it allows for more controlled aim). Tbh I don't feel like Void Crash is going to be a viable alternative for me in 99% of cases, but I'm very glad that Blizzard is listening and making the attempt at fixing the spell. Unfortunately they kind of missed the mark on fixing relevant issues with the current iteration of Void Crash IMO. None of the things that bothered me about it - such as a) misaligning with your DoT uptimes, b) hard capped in combination with prioritizing random mobs OR c) slow moving projectile given the small radius - were really addressed here. That said, seeing how most people react to Void Crash makes me realize that I probably did not even remotely have as much of a problem with Shadow Crash to begin with and I'm happy if that's what they wanted. P.S.: I raided with Viklund a while ago and he told me my "SP blasts hard" :D still giggling over that and you're the main reason to thank for this, much love

That's just blizzard being lazy with game design. There is no reason it can't hit the corpse and still apply dots to the mobs around it.

Keeping shadow crash so i can accidentally hit the ceiling with it and then have something to blame i'm doing no damage.

Why not just combine the two? If its not targeted it crash into the ground, if it is targeted it follows. I mean....

Blizz needs to reduce the CD of shadowcrash to 10 secs, 20 is too long and sometimes have to pick do i crash again for the lower health or wait let the other dps kill so i can dot next pack.

shadow crash should deal 0 dmg but have no cd. Change my mind. If u are playing with random tank and does not know what's going on inside his head, u either loss dps because of waiting or lose dps because of extra pulling. I hate being punished, for not knowing what the fuck is gonna happen in next 20 seconds.

Void Crash seems buggy. If 3 mops run close to each other, only the one in the target will be hit, even though the other two are close enough to that mop. I had it a few times

Garbage spell been dogshit since they released it hardly ever applies to all 8 targets it’s so bad, I love doing a nokhud when the enemies on those little hills throw a shadow crash up there and it hits no one :)

They should remove shadow crash's cap.

Just remove shadowcrash and let my Halo apply Dots. At least in the Halo Spec. Shadow crash feels so bad to use. It travels super slow, You will not use it on pull in a large pack, because it makes it harde to dot the missing targets... It just feels bad. I think the devs are so lost when it comes to shadow. Maining Shadow since tbc and I feel like they never recovered from moving into the void form playstyle. Shadow is always so hard to balance because it just scales too hard. But man do I miss first patch Legion shadow...

if u have a tank that doesnt know what theyre doing shadow crash is quite literally the worst ability in the game. and not landing ur crash fries ur dmg. im picking the other option 100% of the time idc lol

Honestly it's not the ability itself that makes me mad. sure I've tossed it in the wrong spot or hit a stalactites one time or two. it's really the cd on it. it feels so bad when you don't have it for a big aoe pull which is every pull. 20 secs is too long. I think 10 would be more appropriate. alt tabbing to dot every mob is too annoying I'll just wait till it is back up. lol
