Talents
Discipline Priest
Voidweaver Level 70
Spec Tree
- Shadow Covenant
- The most powerful buff for a Priest as it activates synergies between talents by transforming Penance and Halo into shadow spells.
- Inescapable Torment
- This talent greatly increases your damage while your pet is active and extends its duration, allowing you to AoE your enemies.
- Void Summoner
- This essential talent lets you summon your pet more often. Focus on this as much as possible.
Class Tree
- Phantom Reach
- Increases the range of your spells to 46 yards, allowing you to pull mobs from further away.
Hero Talents
- Voidweaver performs better than Oracle while leveling because Entropic Rift is a good tool to do AoE damage with a very short cooldown and oracle focuses around enhancing your healing spells.
- Your Mind Blast summons a massive Entropic Rift that deals a lot of damage itself and transforms your Smite into Void Blast.
