I got owned by it in arena think it might be a buff you get if a rogue your fighting is in stealth too long was waiting for him to drop down to me in the BEM arena but he got this buff and saw my 5/5 imp stealth before he was in 2/2 imp sap range.

This buff is actually from floating purple crystals on the side of the Arenas. At a special time in the game, i think after 1 person dies, they come out and you can get them by going over them.
Also i thought it gave you +2% damage every 3 seconds…it does 2% damage to you every 3 seconds -.- so its not really worth getting.

Comment by Kizzurp

does the damge dot knock stealthies out of stealth when they get it? and if they do. can they be stealthed after gettin the buff and be knocked out by the damage ticks.

Comment by Nayson

If you play Warlock then its worth knowing that Shadow Ward will absorb some of the damage this thing does to you.

Comment by lichee

it's also worth noting that in Arena, if your team is up against a mage and you have no dispel'er (ie: resto druid), the dot effect will break sheep. =)

In patch 2.4 this will increase all damage taken by 5% and only last 15 seconds instead of putting a DoT on you and lasting 21 seconds as it did before.

Comment by Darmoc

From 2.4 Patch Notes

Battleground Rune Buffs:Speed, Restoration, and Berserking buffs received from battleground runes will no longer cause Stealth or Prowl to break.
Shadow Sight now increases damage taken by 5% rather than dealing damage over time. Duration has been reduced from 21 seconds to 15 seconds.

It would appear not, but can someone test it?

Comment by Darmoc

Does anyone know how long it takes for this to respawn in the arenas, after it has been acquired?

Comment by nzguitarman

It seems that as of 4.0.6 (or maybe even 4.0.3a), this is triggered after every battleground

Comment by Rogwood

I always see this buff and or de-buff after leaving arena matches.

Not to sure what it is or what it does.

Comment by Hrenyo

where does this buff come from?

Comment by Niper

Turns out hunters do not leave Camouflage after they acquire this gem (with the Glyph of Camouflage, of course).

Hotfix 2013-10-22:

Players who pick up a Shadow Sight orb will be unable to stealth for the duration of the effect.

Introduced to make it harder for stealth teams to purposefully evade combat in order to wait for Dampening to kick in.
