Comentario de Shadowb

Shadow word: death is an amazing spell!! it currently receives 100% of +damage and healing gear and it is instant cast, which is HUGE, especially for pvp since it has only a 6 second cooldown it is somewhat spamable. the "you take damage if the target doesn't die" is sometimes an issue, but not really considering the health that you will have at 62-70. this spell really adds to a priest's dps!

Comentario de 11480

This spell can really put out some high crits. As far as I know, you're able to negate the damage done to yourself if you shield and/or take a shadow protection pot. Really nice way to get some instant damage and finish someone off.

Comentario de 8627

SW:Death is the perfect finisher, letting you nab the kill and hence the spirit tap. It's been great for tapping mobs amidst any heavily populated area, where getting the first damage on something secures it as "yours". If anyone else is approaching a mob you're targeting - fire off this instant damage spell and they can kiss your mob goodbye.

Comentario de tousdan

As a part Holy/Disc DPS'er in some instances where we can afford two healers, I must say that this spell adds a whole lot to a priest's dps output if you have lightwell as one of your talents.

Just let your Main healer know that you will take care of healing yourself and just use the lightwell every 2-3 PW:Deaths.

Oh and yeah, it's a great way to NOT give honor or marks in pvp. :)

Comentario de Limiter

I looked at the rank 1 comments, and there's a post saying this gets 100% of dmg, even though it is instant. Can anyone confirm this?

Comentario de 39423

Are you able to neutralize the damage if you have Shadow Protection or Prayer of Shadow Protection up?

Comentario de 10844

if i have reflective shield and i use shadow word death wil i then throw 50% extra dmg back in his face??

Comentario de Poppz

DO NOT!!!
I REPEAT DO NOT use this skill on the Curator during his evocate phase (w/o a shadow prot pot and/or PW:shield, if you have less then 8k~9k health) or else if it crits you could 1 shot youself.
I am the kind of person who values spell damage and spell hit ABOVE everything else, (namely stam) and i have around 7100 health full raid buffs in dps gear (some "...Of shadow wrath" greens, which have no stats besides +shadow damage).
P.S. I learned this the hard way....

Aside from that...... this can be a lifesaving (lol irony) spell in pvp encounters, as if you time it very carefully you can rid yourself of sheep/ice trap. here are the steps:
1. Full health mage targets you for sheep and begins casting it you auto-target him back....
2. you wait until there is LESS THEN .3 seconds left of his sheep cast and spam click this spell
3. your spell hits the mage, and doesnt kill him, the damage you deal hits you and takes you out of sheep
4.GG /laugh (if it happens again within 12 seconds, hopefully you had your insignia on...)
or for hunter:
1. Hunter scatter shots you, and runs over to you.....
2. spam click this spell asap b4 you get traped..... (notice this is much harder to execute them Sheep as ice trap will imoblize you as soon as you are not affected by Scatter)

I encourage that you practice this with a mage or hunter buddy so you will be able to laugh at your CCer next time.
P.P.S. this might also be viable against fear (as it has a finite chance to break on damage).

Comentario de 47175

Yes I use this spell to 'tap' mobs that are being hunted by the dozens of bots that populate my server. All the bots are hunters so if you follow them closely and SW:D the mob just before the botter's pet attacks it will continue killing it even if its 'your' kill. Great way to get extra exp at the expense of cheaters :)

Comentario de Poppz

Prayer of Mending is very useful if ya plan on useing this spell when ever its up.
BUT whats more useful is if ya got a Druid Healer in you raid, just ask if they can throw ya a Life bloom at the beginning of a pull and you can safely and planned SW:D your target.
AND if your druid is a very coordinated healer just ask them to always throw up another LB on ya after one expires.

Comentario de 2902

Cooldown increased to 12 seconds

Comentario de savagy

Can someone tell me what happens if this spell is resisted? Do you still get damaged?

Comentario de Furby

Just an absolute killer in PvP.
And is even extremely useful as a PvE spell.
As a level 64 (ATM =) ) Shadow Priest, all i have to do is VT, x2. By then the mob should be down to about 40%, otherwise i just wand until the mob is. Then i just do one Mind Blast and SW:D and the mob's dead. If NOT, then ofc i will loose a lot of my hp. BUT, on the next mob, i just add Vampiric Embrace. And poof, my hp is full again.

Comentario de 86954

It should also noted that being Shadow Damage, you do in fact get 35% of the Damage back as Health if vampiric embrace is active on the target. That means if you are like me, and spam it as an extra dps in boss fights, You only take 65% of the dmg it inflicts, which is easily healed over your other shadow spells (Assuming you aren't being beaten on). Wonderful to pop Mind Blast > SW:D and get huge crits on both, and the health being healed only seconds later.

Just be careful when you spam it, you'd be surprised how much it crits with talents and good gear!

Comentario de Phate01

Lol, the name of the avatar is for some reason 'Spell_Shadow_DemonicFortitude' instead of say..
'Spell_Shadow_ShadowWordDeath'

Comentario de Rarehunter

Also note that Power Word: Shield absorbs the backfire damage, and a Shadow Protection pot also helps. If not, just do this whenever you have enough health to live through (should be 90% of the time) and then heal yourself up. Also note that as this is Shadow damage, Vampiric Embrace will proc on this... returning some of the lost health.

Comentario de Stiverton

If death is caused by the damage taken from SWD then you will not suffer durability damage. A nice way to save some money.

Comentario de Hevnlyst

Personally, while grinding, I find this ability on the more handicapped side, as leveling spriests usually have spirit tap, and in order to maximize the benefit received from it, you usually wand and let sw:p finish them off. Using sw:d restarts the 5sr, thus reducing the effect of spirit tap by 5 secs. Unless you decided to use it combined with ve on most mobs, this spell is pretty damn inefficient for grinding. But as for pvp, when you need to do lots of dmg as fast as you can, this spell certainly gets the job done.

Comentario de calophi

This spell is great when you're grinding in an area where the mobs run away in fear from low health. It's a great way to take out the runners before they can go aggro another mob to help them. Plus, if they're running you know that the spell is likely to take them out instead of rebounding back at you.

Comentario de 24269

If this spell gets reflected when you cast it, you receive damage x 2.

Comentario de 24269

If this spell gets reflected when you cast it, you receive damage x 2.

Comentario de Irikan

No, the way it works is:

If your target does not die from this spell, you take the full damage of what you did. So you do say, 800 damage to him and he doesn't die, you then take 800 damage as well.

Comentario de Irikan

If you shadow word death someone, and it crits but doesnt kill them, does it also count as a crit on you? and if so, can that proc blessed recovery?

Comentario de Valentyne

i use this in my regular rotation during raids and usually get 3.5k-4k crits. i keep myself bubbled and our healers know to watch the spriests and throw out HoTs. use it, don't let it waste away on your bar -- the damage is nice. just watch when you use it... know your fights and your own damage capabilities.

Comentario de 94757

I know a priest that used this on Curator on evocate, and Prince during enfeeble on the same run.

God that was a fun day :D

Comentario de 136306

nice way to put it queggy :)

Comentario de 139226

Let's say i cast this spell on a mage, and he doesn't die, can i reflect the shadow damage i would have taken with the Ultra-Flash Shadow Reflector?

Comentario de 42603

Well, you only get it once if the first application kills you, because then the damage isn't returned back to you since the target died xD

Semi-paradox joke intended...

Comentario de Geri00

Can I cast this while enemy is behind me?

Comentario de 160569

a few fun tricks about SW:D:

if you cast Vampiric Embrace and it's reflected back onto you, you can cast SW:D and it will heal you from the damage dealt back to you. Meaning if you already have a Vampiric Embrace on the target, you'll be giving you and your party double healing from your SW:D. (VE is a buff to yourself now as opposed to a debuff to the enemy, so this is no longer relevant)

If you're healing, and your Prayer of Mending spell bounces back to you, you can use SW:D to send it back out. It's slightly cheaper than casting a new one, and deals a little bit of damage.

I'm pretty sure, but I could be wrong here, but in a raid situation, using SW:D to kill yourself counts as a "PvP kill" and won't cost you 10% durability. Meaning if the group wipes and you're low health from AoE damage, you could potentially save yourself a bit of money.

Comentario de 124322

so.... if you use this spell on a warrior and he spell reflects, and the dmg doesnt kill you, does the warrior still take the damage?

Comentario de 172884

I have used it in pvp and know that it does not show up as a "death " on me if I kill myself that way. I would assume that would also mean nobody gets credit for the "killing blow". But if you get mind controlled by an opposing priest and made to jump off a cliff they do get honor, so it stands to reason the same would happen here.

Comentario de 46455

No, you just take double damage. Warrior takes none, you take double.

Comentario de lalilol

Just wanna add how nice this is to combine with reflective shield (disc. talent).

At lvl 62 my SWD hits for about 700. Those 700 hit my reflective shield and gets absorbed. My reflective shield then every now and then (quite often) crits the mob back for about 700. Or my SWD crits for about 1000 and the shield hits for about 500. Either way about 1400 - 1500 instant dmg.

It has yet to happen, but theoretically my SWD could crit for about 1100 which is also about the maximum of my PWS which then could crit for another 900 or so giving a total maximum of about 2000 instant dmg.

Comentario de 166046

For any pvpers out there, you can use this to break sheep,fear and even blind if you cast it at the last moment. from server lag or something

Comentario de ShotgunMessiah

I'm pretty sure, but I could be wrong here, but in a raid situation, using SW:D to kill yourself counts as a "PvP kill" and won't cost you 10% durability. Meaning if the group wipes and you're low health from AoE damage, you could potentially save yourself a bit of money.

Just confirmed that it doesn't cost you any durability. If it's inevitable, just SW:D yourself and safe some cash.

Comentario de SeraphX

I see no discussion here, kind of weird as everything is discussed.

oh well: there's my penny

I do use swp in my rotation .. why? Some say it does about no dps more or not.. well for a normal scaling fight (as Patchwerk) it's an increase of 30dps.

Well - that doesn't seem alot. Now let's face Thaddius (don't use swp if you got no pain and suffering xD) you do 100-110% more dmg to bosses. so we have her a "60-66dps" more... and I think there is a difference wheter you do 4900 dps or 5k.

Open for discussion .. "wtf u use swp at thaddius are you insane?" well my highest sw:d crit was 15252 - reduce by 30% trough 3/3 p&s

"i've got 10k dmg on myself" - now, having Improved Vampiric Embrace Rank 2 comes into play (33% of the shadowdmg done comes back to the caster as heal)

15k / 3 = 5k - healing myself for 5k just in that moment - so "literally" i took 5k dmg - and with 20k life this is like lollypop :)

Just be sure you've got enough Life/Health left over. When you only got 9k and you land a 15k crit and loose 10k you won't have the chance to get 5k back trough ve :p

(not to miss the ticks before, while and after sw:d return life ²)

So basically you cannot die from SW:D unless on hardcore encounters like Malygos with more than 2 Patches. Stop using if you got 3 Patches and more. You will nuke yourself :x

Comentario de 98388

I think what he's asking is this:
If the spell is reflected back on you by a Warrior's Spell Reflect (or various mob abilities), do you get double damage?
You're still the caster of the spell, and it's still doing damage to it's target (namely you). Hence, is it double damage?
I'd like to know as well, obviously.

Comentario de einstein9073

All the good SW:D discussion is at the level 70 (rank 2) page.

Short version: SW:D + {LOLwell, Vampiric Embrace, Prayer of Healing} = Awesome. Just be careful and don't one-shot yourself.

Comentario de Artea

As a holy priest, I usually only use this for sending my Prayer of Mending back to more useful locations. A useful experience a fellow priest learned recently during a naxx 25man run: Don't use this to kill zombie chow on Gluth. She had not been topped up after decimate, managed to one shot herself.

Comentario de Psynergy

This spell can also help yourself avoid getting CC'd by means of Sap, Polymorph, Repentance and the like if timed right

Comentario de cloudp

It's not from server lag, it's because the damage is applied as a one-tick DoT, so it's not instant. by Okiesmikie

hum. One tick DoT? damage OVER TIME implies always multiple ticks. Thats sort of the point of it...

Yes, the first poster IS right. If a perfect (imposible) situation existed, either you would cast SW:D first and the recoil damage would happen exactly then (which is to say, polymorph would be cast after that split-second), or you would get a "you can't do that while polymorphed" error message. If both casts were exactly at the same time (You cast SW:D EXACTLY when polymorph ends), it'd be a kinda strange thing - most likely you'd leave Poly then, but it would imply you cast ecaxtly after the spell begun, factoring all haste effects on the mage... If you're that fast, you have my respect.

Comentario de Toldry

This spell seems to give you a hiden buff/debuff called "Shadow Word: Death" when you cast it, for a split second, probably to function as the thing that does damage to you when you cast SW:D.

I tried to make a macro that cancels that buff in order to avoid the damage;

/cast Shadow Word: Death
/cancelaura Shadow Word: Death

But it doesn't seem to work.

Comentario de Teradon

Even if you got it to work, it would be seen as bug abusing.
This spell is ment to damage the caster UNLESS the target die, so avoiding it by using some macro is a bug.

Comentario de 268034

Being a healer Disc Priest lvling up I find this ability usefull in two ways. To begin with my rotation is PW:S > Penance > HF > Smite and many times target get to be ~500-800HP after the end of this rotation so SW:D really finishes th target at a low manacost instantily, second use is since i got 100% PW:S Uptime and i could use some mana from rapture using SW:D while its on if the target manages to break the shield i get a free SW:D.

Comentario de dylan257

see a mage casting polymorph at you? use shadow word: death

Comentario de NiLon

Can caster resist damage even if it damages target?

Comentario de 334003

Note - do not use on Hodir =]

I have seen a video where one Spriest crits with this with the 400%-odd crit damage buff and the +50% magic damage taken buff on. He hit Hodir for 40k. 1-shotted himself from full hp. XD

Comentario de Stormwaker

My mage friend comically likes to call it Shadow Word: Ninja. In battlegrounds or arena, he mocks how I'll pop out of nowhere and smack the button and "steal a kill". He even has a youtube video where out of no where I come up and ninja his kill...gave me a good laugh when I saw it :3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw_3ZSXYa5M

Compression and quality are sorta crappy, but between :50-1:12 I pop in and steal it, happened a few days before the account got hacked and banned for a solid year, before Blizzard gave it back, right after the Olympic theme and 2008 vintage pet and tabard (and Holiday, and 4th anniversary) :(

Comentario de 521698

What about Rogue talent "Cheat Death"? Will priest still receive backfire damage?

Comentario de 484925

No because you did not inflict any damage upon the TARGET. So you only take the 800 (or w/e) damage that was reflected

Comentario de TheMuffinMan

EDIT: Figured out my issue. Talents + Shadowform.

So to answer future questions: It is very unlikely that your Shadow Priest will take the full recoil damage.

Comentario de 318094

For those of you playing a priest after playing a mage, do note that Shadow Word: Death, unlike, say... Fire Blast, can be cast even when your back is turned to your target, which is useful for kiting and expeditious retreats. Just throwing that out there. :)

Comentario de Ordayc

A few interesting facts:

A crit's backlash is not considered a crit.
The backlash damage cannot crit.
Damage which is resisted will not be lashed back.
Damage which is absorbed will be lashed back. (This includes damage reduced by , since it technically works as an absorb, not a true mitigate.)
The backlash damage triggers Abrazo vampírico healing (pretty odd, because you get healing from both SW:D's damage and its backlash).
The backlash damage cannot be resisted.
The backlash damage can be absorbed.
The backlash damage is reduced by damage-decreasing effects like .

Comentario de 185930

On the PTR (4.0.1) SW:D crits will cause the shadowpriest to get oneshot by the backlash :( Pain and Suffering could do with some more backlash damage reduction, if they want SW:D to work as our executioner.

Comentario de rnbw

How does this spell interact with Vampiric Embrace? Both the initial Death blast and the self-inflicted damage deal shadow damage, so would you get healed for a portion of both then?

Comentario de 673059

The tool tip or rather the spell seems to be bugged as of patch 4.0.1
On my level 62 Shadow Priest with 2/2 in Mind Melt the tool tip shows around 1400 damage which is actually what it hits (not crits) for when the target is killed. If the spell does not kill, damage is typically around 450 which is a joke IMHO when taking mana cost, cool down and the backlash damage into account.

The 30% + damage form above mentioned talent fails to explain the huge difference.
Furthermore, due to this spell critting a lot, the DPS that is displayed by Addons like Recount is highly overrated as the vast majority of damage caused by this spell -- when used as an executioner -- is overkill.

Funny enough, a similar overrating of executioner damage applies to the Paladin spell Hammer of Wrath.

So, if you want to climb the DPS ladder, you know what you have to do now. :-)

Comentario de ranky26

On targets over 25% health, it does almost exactly 1/3 of the damage on the tooltip. At or below 25% it will do the tooltip damage.

Comentario de Thomassi

I've got pwnd by a priest shadow who did 20k dmg on me with this spell. omg.

Comentario de LordHextor

Well, compared to Execute, it hits hard at below 25%. Plus the 40 yards range... love this spell now.

Comentario de Psyklone

SW:D totally went thru my pally bubble just now :(

Comentario de 770512

Probably a dumb question, but I thought I remembered a guide saying a while ago that using SW:D gave you some mana back. Does it? I havent seen anything on it. I'm guessing no, but idk.

Comentario de mark211175

When you have a fully Heirloom priest in my case, casting Shadow Word Death can be really nasty to execute. Mostly i have like one nano second to react before my mob got killed on me and mostly i react too late, which pisses me off. So i only get my Shadow orbs from mind blast.

Comentario de 1063480

This spell is the bane of my exsistance as a shadow priest. It has succeeded in p*ssing me off to the point of posting a forum about it.

This spell needs to be more reactive. It needs to be - if not more - than equally reactive to Touch of Death (monk 20% spell((Basically))), or execute(warrior 20% spell). It isn't just a priest's finishing move, Blizzard. It's a direct link to our dps. Make it so, when glyphed, we do gain a shadow orb. Or make it so we can gain a shadow orb by casting this spell at 30% enemy health or 40%.

Even if you decide not to change it, at LEAST make it more reactive. I'm solo questing in Pandaria, and Shadow Word: Death isn't reactive enough to allow me to cast before my dots eat up the target. That's... some major bs. Come on now. You can do it! I know u can. Fix Shadow Word: Death. You KNOW you wanna. I'm going to find more relevant places to post this. I'm a priest on a mission. Taste my bibliographic fury.

You don't need to deal the killing blow to gain the additional insanity, but you must have damaged the target with Shadow Word: Death less than two seconds before it dies.
