Therefore many guides recommending a clawing shadows/ebon fever build are out-of-date, as it's no longer optimal.
The new talent build is:
- Bursting Sores
- Epidemic for aoe, Pestilent Pustules for single target
- Castigator
- Sludge Belcher
- 75 is fight dependant
- Infected claws
- Dark Arbiter (this talent is the best by FAR as long as ring is relevant)
- Ebon Fever
- Epidemic for aoe, Pestilent Pustules for single target
- Castigator
- Sludge Belcher
- 75 is fight dependant
- Shadow Infusion
- Dark Arbiter
Since we are no longer using the shadow damage bonus from Clawing Shadows, and instead we are using Castigator, our stat weights have shifted. They are now:
Strength>>>>>>Crit>Haste>Versatility>Mastery
