Soul Shard in Cata: "They are all for damage"

#0 - Feb. 28, 2010, 12:03 a.m.

Q u o t e:

Q. Are there any updates on the changes for Warlock soul shard mechanics?
A. We've implemented much of what we've discussed at Blizzcon: shards are a UI element instead of an item. You use them frequently, but for great effect. They are all for damage. Summoning and pets just cost mana. I think you'll finally like shards.

What?

What about the idea of additional utility? They are ALL for damage? Can't we get some for damage and others for something more interesting and fun?

A more accurate quote probably would have been "They are all for combat."

We are still working out what exactly you can blow a shard on. Some of the in combat but not damage abilities, such as the Fel Dom example from Blizzcon, are still on the table.
