(sigh) the L50 quest rewards aren't so cut & dried any more. The Abyss shard uses a soulshard now, instead of giving you the Voidwalker for freebies.
I wonder what the reason for that was. Dam annoying. >.>
i know, blizzard nerfed that trinket just to be bastards, no longer can i use it to get a free shard during raids :(
>.> Dunno about you guys, but i thought of it as a free demo sac buff. /shrug.
Still annoyed they nerfed it.

for solo pve I used it as a free demo sac buff (health regen ftw in solo), but for group pve, it was there to summon, put on stay, run away and get a free soulshard. now it's simply useless.
glyph of souls is being nerfed. changed to 70% mana reduction instead.
Because mana cost on something only useable out of combat is so great, amirite? -_-
Ugh, why can we not get nice things?

Yeah, i just found out about that nerf. In pve the shards aren't a big deal but I was looking forward to that glyph for my pvp sessions as I can never remember to dain soul in battlegrounds. Oh well.
I dunno, I go through shards like nobody's business on progression nights (especially on low-to-no trash bosses). Shards are invaluable any way you look at it. Same when I'm going through old content, actually (started and ended Naxx last week with two shards because I didn't have time to farm beforehand - damn rl).

would it be worth still taking the Abyss Shard since it might be changed again in the future. Staffs will come and go but a trinket will stay. I just fear that it'll be useless and sit in my bank as i wait for it to change to something good. Should i just take the staff as it would be a major upgrade or even the chest piece is better than the robes if have. I went DEMO spec so i use felgaurd now at 50 so a free void although useful isn't that big of a deal. I'm leaning towards staff but i might be an idiot and take the trinket and hope.
the trinket is still the best option because yes, there's a very tiny window of usage for it / possibility it'll get un-nerfed.. though I doubt it. so tbh.. take what you want and just save it in your bank for nostalgia sake or something... lol
^^^ Amen to what Jenova said...
I also used the trinket for the occasional free shard - With this recent change and if I had a "do over" on the warlock quest, I would probably take the weapon now. It may not have lasting utility but at least it is really cool looking.

indeed, /agree :) granted I'm not disappointed with the trinket. it's been very useful for years :)
I seem to be the only one at times that actually didn't use the Shard for shards. I used it for Demo Sac buffs.

Low blow. I was thinking "Hey, some warlock glyphs are actually decent!" till that came along. I've yet to see a proc off of the Soul Drain glyph and I've used it since like 2 days after the patch happened. Maybe I just missed it, but anyone time I look no two just one.
That Glyph of Drain Soul hardly ever works. In a session lasting around 4 hours, it produced ONE extra shard. I'm going to replace it with something useful.
it's a tiny proc chance. just get something else instead
what should we pick instead of the drain soul one?
no idea. personally I use the unending breath, eye of kilrogg and enslave demon. they're the only ones I can see useful, with the enslave demon as the only 'mandatory' one, regardless of spec I see no reason NOT to have this. amazing for pve, and might have the odd use in pvp.
