Mindbender is a Discipline and Shadow priest talent that replaces Spell shadow shadowfiend [Shadowfiend].

Notes[]

  • Most information and tactics that apply to the Mindbender also apply to the Shadowfiend - see Spell shadow shadowfiend [Shadowfiend] for more.
  • Has a base attack speed of 1.5 seconds, by default dealing 8/10 attacks per summon. However, the Mindbender benefits from your haste, granting extra hits and thereby increasing damage and mana generation. The Mindbender's haste appears to match the current haste of the priest, checked at frequent intervals. This means that the Mindbender will benefit from haste effects gained by the priest part-way through its duration.
