Patch changes[]

  • Dragonflight Patch 10.1.0 (2023-05-02): Casting Spell shadow devouringplague [Devouring Plague] now increases the duration of Voidform by 2.5 sec.
    Old: Each 25 Insanity spent during Voidform increases the duration of Voidform by 1.0 sec.
  • Dragonflight Patch 10.0.0 (2022-10-25): No longer gives Spell shadow unholyfrenzy [Mind Blast] an additional charge. Spending Insanity now increases Voidform's duration.
  • Shadowlands Hotfix (2020-11-17): Tentacles will now appear on the caster when using Voidform.
  • Shadowlands Patch 9.0.1 (2020-10-13): Now has a fixed duration and no longer drains Insanity, no longer grants additional Haste or reduces cooldown of Mind Blast, instead gives Mind Blast additional charge.
  • Battle for Azeroth Patch 8.1.0 (2018-12-11): Now increases all spell damage by 20% (was 10%).
  • Battle for Azeroth Patch 8.0.1 (2018-07-17): Now increases all spell damage by 10% (was 20% shadow damage). Cooldown on Mind Blast is now reduced by 1.5 seconds, down from 3.
  • Legion Patch 7.1.5 (2017-01-10): Now increases Shadow damage by 20% (was 30%). No longer grants Lingering Insanity (now a separate talent).
  • Legion Hotfix (2016-11-14): Voidform's Insanity drain now begins at 8 Insanity per second (down from 9), but will increase at a 10% faster rate
Developers' Notes: We want to reduce the maximum amount of time that Achievement boss generalvezax 01 [Surrender to Madness] can be maintained, without significantly impacting Shadow otherwise. Our intent in this hotfix is that it's still effective to use Surrender similarly to how it is currently used, but that its maximum potential in ideal situations is slightly less extreme.
  • Legion Hotfix (2016-09-26): Voidform stacks no longer increase while Dispersion is active.
Developers' Notes: We would prefer that Achievement boss generalvezax 01 [Surrender to Madness] not be as dominant as it is, and that it can't be extended for quite so long. However, addressing this further would require significant changes to the spec beyond what we want to do in a tuning pass at this time. We will look for an opportunity to take a more comprehensive look at this issue in a future patch.
