Shadow Covenant is a Discipline priest talent. It is a powerful instant heal that strengthens Shadow damage and healing, while turning Spell priest divinestar [Divine Star], Ability priest halo [Halo], and Spell holy penance [Penance] into Spell priest divinestar shadow2 [Divine Star], Ability priest halo shadow [Halo], and Inv artifact powerofthedarkside [Dark Reprimand].

Tips[]

  • Shadow Covenant (scov) would typically be pressed before other damage abilities (such as pressing Spell warlock focusshadow [Schism]) for the 25% shadow damage buff. It would also buff Inv artifact powerofthedarkside [Dark Reprimand], which was also a strong damage spell, especially with Ability paladin handoflight [Harsh Discipline] stacked up for extra bolts. This increased damage would also improve the healing converted from Ability priest atonement [Atonement].
  • The buff would also be strong with Ability priest halo [Halo] for improving its direct raidwide healing by 25%, although its damage portion would only trigger Atonement once for the first enemy target hit. As the maximum duration of the buff is 15s and neither Spell priest divinestar [Divine Star] nor Ability priest halo [Halo] are affected by haste cooldown reduction, it would not be possible to cast more than one of Halo/Divine Star per shadow covenant buff.
