Seems like Blizzard wants to completely negate the HORRIBLE RNG associated with shadow orbs(I've gone over 1 minute without them on rag and baelroc before -_- that is WHILE spaming mindflay as well). We usually get 1 shadowy apparition per 1-2 ticks of shadow word pain(with these set bonuses you will definitely not want to talent mindflay to refresh it to maximize dps and considering the amount of movement in dragon soul this seems logical), obviously potentially quite a few more if moving about(which will be often for most fights, and is a part of the VT, then move while casting DP and SW:P, except now you may want to cast SW:P while approaching the target before you have a chance to stand still long enough for VT set up method). Still, being able to control when you're getting those Shadow Orbs for at least part of the fight will be a huge benefit over, "Omg I hope I have Shadow Orbs when the rest of my CDs are available! D:"Ĭomentario de NightmareMJsince mind spike hits for 27K+ with 3 orbs, and obviously crits for a little over double ing shadow fiend while under archangel will result in massive dps gain vs single target. Unfortunately, I'm unable to test that theory at this time my guess though is that it wouldn't provide a significant DPS increase (and might actually end up being a loss because you have to get DoTs up afterward, which takes a bit of time). However, I'm wondering if it would be viable to start the fight by Mind Flaying to 5 stacks of Dark Evangelism, popping Dark Archangel and Shadowfiend, then just Mind Spiking until the Shadowfiend despawns?
Now, technically, this isn't going to provide too huge of an advantage, considering Mind Blast is on a 6.5 second CD. That means every 1.5 seconds I have 3 Shadow Orbs to use. Shadowfiend lasts 15 seconds and, for me, attacks approximately 10 times before despawning (provided it doesn't get killed).
I can honestly see the 4-set bonus getting nerfed eventually though. The 2-set should make Shadow Word: Death viable before 25% due to the damage boost and the mana regen from Masochism (thank you, Tsukuyomi45 for that clarification :D).
