  • Matches the files

    Shadow Weaving: Now benefits only the casting Priest and not other party or raid members. Percentage increase to damage decreased moderately.

    The files The buff is now yours: the tooltip says it raises the Shadow damage you deal by 2% per stack, up to 5. Classic put a 3% per stack vulnerability on the target (spell 15257).
