Psychic Horror is a Shadow priest talent that instantly stuns a target for 4 seconds.

It is an exclusive choice node with Ability priest silence [Last Word].

Tips[]

  • Psychic Horror shares diminishing returns with other stun effects. It is important to ensure the target has not recently been affected by other stuns in order for Psychic Horror to last its full duration.
  • Psychic Horror is a Magic effect and can be dispelled.

  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): This spell no longer has an invisible missile, so there is no travel time before the spell takes effect.

You terrify the target, causing them to tremble in horror for 3 sec, and drop all weapons (disarm effect: including bows) for 10 sec. 1 minute cooldown. Instant cast. The horror effect can be dispelled, but the disarm cannot.
    Previous 2-point talent: "Causes your Spell shadow psychicscream [Psychic Scream] ability to inflict Psychic Horror on the target when the fear effect ends. Psychic Horror reduces all damage done by the target by 15%/30% for 6 sec."
