Improved Psychic Scream Improved Psychic Scream

Priest · Shadow · Row 3 of 7 · 2 ranks
Requires Blackout

Improved Psychic Scream sits in row 3 of the Priest Shadow tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role, and you will need Blackout maxed first. It can take up to 2 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.

What Improved Psychic Scream does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: Reduces the cooldown of your Psychic Scream spell by 2 sec.
  2. Rank 2: Reduces the cooldown of your Psychic Scream spell by 4 sec.

How to reach Improved Psychic Scream

Row 3 opens after you spend 10 points in the earlier Shadow rows. Level 20 is the earliest you can pick up Improved Psychic Scream, and you will need Blackout maxed first.

Is Improved Psychic Scream worth the points?

Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
