Why it scores this way

  • A painful 1 to 20, then smoother from 20 to 30 with a 24 second Devouring Plague and Dark Inspiration.
  • Supports the party through Vampiric Embrace. It has no Shadowform until level 40.
  • Silence and a 36 yard Mind Flay suit battlegrounds. It is far behind Discipline in duels.
