Shadow Priest-Do Millions Of Damage And One-Shot Things (Patreon)
Content
The practical applications of this are interesting,
1) You can win any duel with it.
2) You can kill anything in world pvp by targetting the plentiful supply of critters scattered around the world.
3) You can target any mob while in pvp combat and kill anything with it while in a low level zone.
4) You can target low-level items such as player flags in instanced pvp for this purpose.
5) (Speculative) If you can find a "unknown zone" in a pve instance then you can duel another player and (at least in theory) use this against pve mobs/bosses. Some bosses have teleport-to-boss abilities which may make this viable.
You can test this out with the training dummies in your faction's capital city: put Shadow Word: Pain on a pvp dummy. Target a low-level dummy and use Mind Blast-you'll see damage in the millions on the pvp dummy from psychic link.
