| − | '''Shadow Word: Death''' is a [[Shadow]]-based [[Direct Damage|direct damage]] spell, and deals equal damage to the caster if the target is not slain by the cast. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The self-harm effect limits usage, though it may be used on any potential target -- for a price. |

| − | == Talent Improvements == |
||
| − | Shadow tree talents: |
||
| − | * [[Darkness]] increases the damage by 2/4/6/8/10%. |
||
| − | * [[Shadow Affinity]] reduces threat caused by 8/16/25%. |
||
| − | * [[Shadow Focus]] increases chance to hit by 1/2/3% and reduces the mana cost by 2/4/6%. |
||
| − | * [[Shadow Reach]] increases the range by 10/20%. |
||
| − | * [[Shadowform]] increases the damage done by 15%, reduces threat caused by 30%, and reduces the damage taken from the backlash by 15%. |
||
| − | * [[Shadow Power]] increases the critical-strike damage bonus by 20/40/60/80/100%. |
||
| − | * [[Misery]] increases the spell's chance to hit by 1/2/3% for 24 seconds when the target is afflicted by [[Shadow Word: Pain]], [[Mind Flay]], and [[Vampiric Touch]] periodic ticks. |
||
| − | * [[Pain and Suffering]] reduces damage (backlash) you take from your own SW: Death by 10/20/30%. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Discipline tree talents: |
||
| − | * [[Twin Disciplines]] increases the damage done by 1/2/3/4/5%. |
||
| − | * [[Mental Agility]] reduces the mana cost by 3/6/10%. |
||
| − | |||
| − | All of these talents can be used in conjunction to improve this spell to its maximum. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Glyph Improvements == |
||
| − | * [[Glyph of Shadow Word: Death]] increases damage dealt by 10% on targets with 35% health or less. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Notes == |
||
| − | *The backlash to the caster is not a resistible effect with [[Shadow Resistance]] gear, and can be fatal, but the damage can be mitigated by effects which prevent damage such as [[Power Word: Shield]], and effects that decrease spell damage such as [[Spell Warding (Priest Talent)|Spell Warding]]. The damage can also be reduced with the Priest talent [[Pain and Suffering]]. |
||
| − | *Fatal damage will result in no durability damage to the caster, making a [[suicide]] use viable in a wipe situation. |
||
| − | *The backlash the caster will take always equals that of the target, even if the damage was zero. Damage that is [[Resist|partially resisted]] does not backlash; [[absorb]]ed damage does, however. |
||
| − | *When [[reflect]]ed, it causes both the spell and the backlash to damage the caster. |
||
| − | [[File:Shadow Word- Death TCG.jpg|thumb|In [[World of Warcraft: Trading Card Game]].]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Tips & tactics == |
||
| − | *[[Mind Blast]] is ultimately more damaging than Shadow Word: Death at their final ranks, but Shadow Word: Death is the second most mana-efficient spell ([[Mind Flay]] being first). |
||
| − | *Shadow Word: Death can be used by healing Priests to trigger a [[Prayer of Mending]] that has landed on themselves, thus preventing the Priest from having to fight to gain aggro, waste a Fade, and possibly die. |
||
| − | *Because of its [[instant]] cast time, Shadow Word: Death used with good timing can be a way of triggering [[Spirit Tap]] in groups. |
||
| − | *Be careful of using Shadow Word: Death in certain fights (The Curator in Karazhan, for example, during his evocation period; the 300% damage increase will more than likely kill any Priest, especially in the event of an unlucky crit) |
||
| − | *The backlash from Shadow Word: Death can be used to break [[Polymorph]] effects if used shortly before the spell finishes. |
||
| − | *Don't feel restricted to only using this spell on those with low life. Priests (Shadow Priests, in particular) have a large amount of passive healing thanks to [[Vampiric Embrace]] and [[Vampiric Touch]], and can absorb the backlash with their [[Power Word: Shield|shield]]. Watch your health, however. |
||
| − | *Try to be careful when using this against a Warrior with a shield and [[Spell Reflection]]. A reflected Shadow Word: Death is considerably harmful to yourself, and in some cases suicide. |
