Priest Talent TreesIdol of Y'Shaarj: Shadowfiend causes you to gain a benefit based on your target's current emotional state.clicking here

Idol of Y’Shaarj will receive a new tooltip as we get closer to Dragonflight. In the meantime though, here’s a breakdown of what it currently does:If your target is…Above 80% health? → Pride

You and your Shadowfiend deal increased damage while Shadowfiend is active.

Enraged? → Anger

Purges the enraged effect and increases your Haste while Shadowfiend is active.

Stunned? → Despair

You generate Insanity while Shadowfiend is active.

Feared? → Fear

You and your Shadowfiend deal increased damage and do not break fear effects while Shadowfiend is active.

No conditions met? → Violence

Duration of Shadowfiend is increased.

The priority order is:
Anger/Despair/Fear → Pride → ViolenceAs with everything in the talent tree, these effects are subject to change. I hope this clears up some confusion. We’ll continue monitoring the community’s feedback and we look forward to sharing more Dragonflight details in the future!

Hopefully some of the other casters get interesting options like this!Comment by GordonBuchatBut what about the caster's emotional state?

Priests have feelings, too!Comment by Cobalt314The damage you deal not breaking fear is kind of cool, as with getting an enrage dispel however there is a lot of other talents in that bottom row to look at.Comment by wallrochaThese new talents are not gonna change the current state of Shadow Priest and while I do enjoy the 9.2 rotation I wish they scrapped alot of @#$% from its AoE toolkit.Comment by Murzacthats pretty cool. however you should not need to go to a third party website to tell you what an ability does. i hope all this info gets added to the tooltip.Comment by mEqDaitoJust what spriest needs: something super complicated!Comment by cparle87thats pretty cool. however you should not need to go to a third party website to tell you what an ability does. i hope all this info gets added to the tooltip.Comment by KYZ123So the tldr is that on raid encounters without CCable mobs, it's a damage buff during Shadowfiend if the target is above 80% health, or a Shadowfiend duration increase otherwise.

Liking the flavour of it though - I wonder if they'll add 'emotions' for doubt and hatred, since those are the remaining Sha? Doubt could maybe be below 20% health, not sure about hatred.Comment by Unowhat...Well since no one has said it yet, so I'll be the one to say it.

*Throws Slipper* EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!Comment by RivertamDKBlizz Communication go BRRRRRComment by emu1981thats pretty cool. however you should not need to go to a third party website to tell you what an ability does. i hope all this info gets added to the tooltip.
