Shadow Word: Pain is a Shadow spell in the Priest spell pool of Azeroth Survivors, with a base interval of 1.6 seconds between casts. ### How does Shadow Word: Pain work? Shadow Word: Pain is a Shadow damage-over-time spell. Its tooltip type afflicts enemies within range and spreads the damage over a set number of ticks. The data stores 2 targets, a 28-yard range and a 6-second duration, and it recasts every 1.6 seconds at base. Because the recast is much shorter than the duration, it can keep several enemies hurting at once. A separate stat in the game, DoT stacks, sets how many copies one enemy can carry. ### Where does Shadow Word: Pain fit in the Priest kit? It is the spell the Shadow tree turns around. The picker describes the Priest as the class where pain spreads through the horde, and this is the spell that does it. With Shadowy Apparitions it replaces Smite as the opener. ### Which talents change Shadow Word: Pain? Improved Shadow Word: Pain makes it last longer over two ranks. Shadowy Apparitions, the Shadow milestone at 20 points, starts every run with it and gives each tick a chance to release a free Mind Blast, at most twice a second. Shadowform, the Shadow capstone at 30 points, keeps you in Shadowform for the whole run. When an enemy dies with Shadow Word: Pain on it, it bursts for part of its maximum health on everything within 6 yards, and the pain jumps to the enemy nearest it. General damage-over-time talents in the Shadow tree, such as Shadow Power, also apply because it is a DoT. ## What are Shadow Word: Pain's stats in Azeroth Survivors?
