When Shadowy Apparitions extends Shadow Word: Pain and Vampiric Touch, and that DoT has already lasted longer than its normal duration, it will recalculate its crit chance. We’re fine with you getting a normal Shadow Word: Pain/ Vampiric Touch duration of all crits, but not forever. Since 100% crit Shadow Word: Pain and Vampiric Touch that never need to be refreshed is a wee bit too strong, we’re building in a failsafe. The net result is that the feedback loop is so strong that in attainable gear, it’s net positive, resulting in Shadow Word: Pain and Vampiric Touch lasting forever (or at least until you get very unlucky and get a long string of failed procs, which will probably take several minutes to happen).
And both can trigger a mastery tick, both of which can also spawn another Shadowy Apparitions. And the Vampiric Touch ticks have a 10% chance of spawning a Shadowy Apparitions as well. For Shadow having Unerring Vision of Lei Shen and the PvE set bonuses would mean that every Shadow Word: Pain tick guaranteed crits, so spawns a Shadowy Apparitions, which has a 65% chance of extending Shadow Word: Pain and Vampiric Touch. The one which is simply too strong to leave is for Shadow. That’s extremely strong, but we’re going to try leaving it alone for now. For example, a Balance Druid can now apply Moonfire and Sunfire, and pretty much chain instant Starsurges for 15 sec, many of which are extending that Moonfire and Sunfire, probably out to 20-25 sec. There’s a couple cases where those periodic crits cause other effects, which end up being very powerful. We’re tentatively fine with the idea of you seeing that proc go off, and reapplying DoTs which crit for their whole duration, in most cases. However, this has some implications on the Unerring Vision of Lei Shen trinket. This will have implications in any simulations out there. (Consistency isn't always critical because it does lead to a certain amount of homogeneity, but too little consistency can just be confusing too.) We made a pass at all of the class dots and made them snapshot crit chance.
We decided to dig into all of the dots and found they worked pretty inconsistently.
