Вместо 75% пассивного избегания любых атак у этой козявки теперь под 18к хп, лишний 1% маны с удара и существенно усиленный (2100спд, дебафф 13% магического урона = криты за 3000) и урон, для пве ессесно бафф, а вот в пвп скорее нерф, ибо главное в нем именно реген маны, раньше его и не пытались убить, все равно не попадешь, но теперь его можно законтролить так что даже его новая телепортирующая абилка не спасет (бан варлока, слепуха роги и др.)

Still don't understand why Shadow Mend was voted out and replaced with Vampiric Touch when we knew we would receive this pet at 66.

Shadow Mend was affected by Shadow Damage. Seemingly a 1.5sec heal by the same mana cost as a normal Flash Heal would had been a better choice for Shadow Priests (hybrids) than yet another "tick on damage" debuff.

IMO it would had been more convenient, but you who (without testing it in the first place) thought that it was a bad move by blizz - should reconsider how sick it would had been to have a heal in Shadow Form.

When in a long, mana-intensive raid fight, I take the following steps to maximize mana efficiency:

Cast one or two heals, then use inner focus as soon as a big gheal or PoH opportunity arrives.

As soon as I'm down about 2k mana from my max, I use my shadowfiend. Basically wait until I'm low enough that the shadowfiends mana gain will put me near full but won't be wasted. True the shadowfiend will restore more than 2k mana, but it comes over time so I will still be casting heals and losing mana during this time.

When I'm down about 3k from my max again, I use a mana pot.

I've found that this is a good way to get all the cooldowns ticking early on, so that I'll have the chance to use them all again before the fight ends. The difference between using cooldowns early and waiting until you are oom to use them can make a gigantic difference in how long you are able to keep healing.

I thought it would be funny to spec like this for about a day: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/talent=bxMrzhGtrzZ0xtGbbqoZh
And i gotta say that i had a lot of fun,
but the most fun i had was when i discovered that i could Power Infuse my shadow~friend~.
So next time i waited for spirit tap to proc, then i poped my icon of the silver crest, and then i used my shadowfiend and PI'ed it instead of me....
I got really amazing results b/c my fiend, whereas it regualry hits for about 150-180 (+1200 to all damage), was now hitting for a solid 215 and critting for 330!! thats 530-800 mana back per hit!!!
I tried again when all my CDs had refreshed, but this time i PI'ed myself and then cast my fiend (with Spirit tap/Icon) and got mediocer results compared to PI'ing my fiend.
But the really funny thing is that when i PI myself, my fiend hits for about the same, so i guess that what PI does is increase the potential of my fiend's mana leech ability, very odd.... and i will have to do some more testing...

The shadowfiend can also be affected by all damage increasing buffs, such as Bloolust/Heroism, Unleashed Rage, etc.

Some brief things about Shadowfiend, taken from Elitist Jerks:
- Attacks are melee shadow damage, using a normal melee attack table, with damage reduced based on armor of the target
- Has ~1.5second attack speed (10 times per 15 second life)
- Benefits from your +dmg with a ~65% coefficient (6.5% per hit)
- Damage added from Shadowform, Darkness, Shadow Weaving, Misery, Curse of Shadow, and Improved Shadow Bolt, and so on.
- Damage added from attack power bonuses (possibly double-dipping - the direct buff, and scaled with your stats), armor reductions on the target, and so on
- Benefits from Bloodlust/Heroism and similar buffs IF the fiend is already out when it's cast.
- Has extremely high dodge rating (in the vicinity of 75%) and significant resistances to most/all spell schools

My question regarding this spell:

Is it a pet-bar type critter, or does it control it's own actions (Similar to the mechanical yeti or mechanical greench)?

Комментарий от dcraftjr

In pvp, for priest vs priest fights like healers, its best to cast your powershield on yourself everytime they cast the shadowfiend on you. It would basically absorb the damage the shadowfiend makes to prevent the other priest from gaining mana.

Комментарий от 124209

The main point about shadowfiend is that:
Shadowfiend does shadow aligned melee damage and inherits a percentage of stats from the caster

Thus,

Armor reduction debuffs will affect shadowfiend's performance
Shadow/magic damage increasing debuffs on the target increase damage of the fiend
Cloak of shadows doesn't mitigate the fiend's damage
Shadow resistance will mitigate the fiend's damage (23 dps loss on the target with 70 SR in comparison with 0 SR)

Damage of the fiend comes from its attack power*:

4 AP --> +1 dps

Shadowfiend's attack power is dynamically influenced by:

.57 caster shadow dmg --> +1 AP
1 STR --> +0.53 AP

So the following buffs will help the shadowfiend:

Blessing of Kings
Blessing of Might
Strength of Earth
Wrath of Air
Battle Shout
Unleashed Rage

Other ways to increase shadowfiend damage:

Heroism will help shadow fiend dramatically, tho only if it's cast after the pet is summoned.
Spell damage from WoA totem converts directly into the shadowfiend damage per hit (i.e. 1 spelldmg ~ .65 dps)
Shadowfiend inherits a percentage of priest's attack power (40%), so Blessing of Might on the priest will help the fiend
Being Power Infused, the fiend hits 20% harder. His AP doesn't go up with PI, but his damage does.
Power Infusion doesn't affect the pet when cast on the priest

* This analysis doesnt take into account the crit% factor - its initial value, impact from agility buffs.

This data is from shadowpriest.com.

CoS directly affects Shadowfiend, negating pretty much all of his benefit.

Rofl, my shadowfiend was blinded by rogue today on nagrand arena. Amazing. Got lose coz it.

Комментарий от 117449

A tip for warriors doing arena:

A warrior's fear almost never gets resisted by the shadowfiend, so you can fear one with ease.

Seems to me to do just as well against a plate wearing pvpver as anyone else. Are hunters jealous their pets don't give them mana back for more of their special shots ?

edit: Downranked ? I know it does shadow damage, and physical armor does not stop shadow damage.

Shadowfiends are pretty dodgy and instantly appear next to the target. So when your tanks mess up on engaging Al'ar quickly enough after a Flame Quill, a quick Shadowfiend can provide Al'ar with a target in Melee Range for a few seconds and prevent a wipe. Those are my favourite Shadowfiend moments.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this, but it says on the comments for Kibler's Bits that holy and shadow priests should be able to macro in Kibler's Bits to your shadowfiend. This creates a surge of about +3~4/mp5.

As for patch 3.0.2, you can reduce Shadowfiend cooldown by up to 2 minutes with Veiled Shadows which can be truly helpful in lengthy fights.

Комментарий от Pyroturkey

Shadowfiend now seems to regenerate a percentage of your maximum mana each time it melees, instead of it giving mana based off its damage. It gives the same amount of mana each hit, and does not give extra on crits.

Комментарий от airtonix

Of the times i have eaten great feast and have not...I am still seeing more mana returned when i have eaten great feast and then use my fiend.

seems it still benefits from casters stats and still does melee dmg.

Комментарий от Pyroturkey

As of 3.1, Shadowfiend now returns 5% of max mana per hit, up from 4%. It also returns mana whether it does damage or not, as long as it melees. It loses it's 75% chance to be missed(no more tanking Al'ar adds!) Also, it gains a new ability, Shadowcrawl, which is a shadowstep like teleport to the target, that increases damage done, for a time.

Does this thing have a creature type? i mean is sounds like it might be a demon, can it be feared by pallies?

Pre-3.1 shadowfiend:
Approximately hits for 111 dmg @ 1.5 speed = 74dps = 1110 shadow damage

Ulduar 3.1 Shadowfiend
Shadowfiend's dps scales with your spell power now (receives 30% of caster's spell power in damage). New Shadowfiend ability, Shadowcrawl, teleports the Shadowfiend to an enemy target and increases its damage done by 15% for 5 seconds.

So if you pick a target, cast shadowfiend, then cast Shadowcrawl within 10 seconds to get the most dps out of shadowfiend you will..

for 10 seconds do = 74 dps + (your spell power x 0.2) x 5
for 5 seconds do = 1.15 x (74 + (your spellpower x 0.2)) x 10
(0.2 comes from 30% coefficient divided by 1.5 attack speed)

Your Spellpower = 2000 ...
74 + (2000 x 0.2) = 474 dps x 10 = 4740 shadow damage
474 x 1.15 = 545.1 dps x 5 = 2725.5 shadow damage
=================================================
Estimated total damage = 7565.5 shadow damage

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Your Spellpower = 1500 ...
74 + (1500 x 0.2) = 374 dps x 10 = 3740 shadow damage
374 x 1.15 = 430.1 x 5 = 2150.5 shadow damage
=================================================
Estimated total damage = 5890.5 shadow damage

If you want a REALLY rough coefficient to work around the math

Your shadowfiends...
total damage will be about: 3.84 x spellpower
total dps will be about: 0.2422 x spellpower

You can also take into account certain raid debuffs on the enemy that will increase the damage furthermore since it is considered shadow damage (Shadow Weaving, Curse of Shadows, etc)

My damage parse using it once: http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3153/shadowfiend.png

For those curious, 15 sec active time / 1.5 aspd = 10 hits x 5% caster's max mana = possible 50% Mana gain over 15 sec

this priest in pvp gear's shadowfiend crit me for 2k per swing wtf

op pet i nearly died from it but thank god for self heals

Комментарий от MoonLite

adding a little data:
attacking a lvl64mob at lvl67 with 567 Spell Power:
- 9 or 10 attacks of 356-357 shadow damage each,
- curiously always giving 8-9 (one less than attacks) times 5% total mana
- has 6378hp, 4478mana (but mostly it stays alive for full 15sec anyway)

so about +3000-3500 dmg and +45% mana, its a nice bonus you get when you just get the skill (lvl66), helps soloing with that one elite questmob ;)

I've seen it crit for ~185% dmg, but only does so very rarely

I'm not sure which patch it was changed in but Shadowfiend no longer is effected by your spell power. It does a flat 5% return of your mana pool per hit.

How is he classified? Initially I thought he is demon or undead, so I wanted to fear him for PvP purposes with paladin. It does not work, is he beast then? I couldn't find any tooltip about it.

Комментарий от battlet3chvx

Use Shadowfiend + Hymn of Hope at the same time when you are low mana, and you'll get 80-90% of your mana back.
