If you take a flying taxi or walk out of range of the voidwalker summoned with this (possible especially by telling your voidwalker to "Stay"), you do get a free soul shard back. This gives the additional use of being able to give a free soul shard every half hour if you should find that helpful.

Is there a cooldown in this item?

my advice is to try get a drakestone of shadow wraith from Sunken temple and pair it off with a main hand weapon with + spell dam , thou this combination is hard to get you end up with about 20-30+ more shadow damage depending on the main hand weapon. by doing this u don;t need the staff. eg http://www.wowhead.com/?item=7714.

the robe is relpaced by either by T 0.5 or if u have BC replaced by Whispering Tunic http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29926.

the shard however can be useful at any stage in the game because you can only get it once, i has uses but it is used in rare events of warlocks not having soul shards and by lvl 70 you really done use the Vw anymore being replaced by the Felguard or the Imp.

i choose the robe myself because i got the drakestone/main hand weapon combination. All of these items become useless at some stage so just choose one that looks cool or one that gives the most upgrade

I'm level 70 and I still use all the time when farming. Not that it takes a whole lot to create another Soul Stone, but I'll take a free summon every thirty minutes.

Felguard is beefy, but I still much prefer the VW for tanking. Felguard requires too much maintenance.

That and my Mage, Paladin friend can successfully 3-man ALL of Blackrock Spire using the VW as a tank, lol - all of LBRS all the way up to Drakkisath.

But yeah, I don't regret my choice of choosing this trinket at all. It's in my bags at all times.

awesome trinket. i still use it at 70, glad i chose it back when i was a noob haha

for post expansion i can say for a fact that the robe and weapon are replaced immediately after you enter hellfire when you cross over. This trinket is amazing and saved me in many a pinch even at lvl 70.

I was already 60 when they added this quest long ago with all the other level 50 class quests, and never did this. Now I may go back and do it as it can easily be done at 70 with no problem. The robe and staff are not too bad for their level, but will be replaced within the first few quests of Hellfire. This item however, is timeless.

Master Summoner and Fel Domination both reduce the summon cast time of this trinket, just like any regular summon.

I cannot think of a single situation where this would be useful, a demonology lock completely replaces void with felguard, an affliction lock drain tanks with an imp, a destruction lock uses demonic sacrifice... The only way this would be useful is for a pre-felguard demonology warlock and since it is a L50 quest there can't be many of those.

It's useful in a pinch, as another person already commented.

You're not gonna replace it with a better amulet that summons a voidwalker for free.

But you are going to replace the staff or robe.

A fun, although somewhat stupid use for this trinket, is in PVP. Consider a demo lock wanting to take multiple targets at once, sacrifices the voidy to get the bubble, then when it wears off, uses Fel domination. When the second bubble wears off, this trinket can be used to summon another (at the cost of 2 shards, instead of 3.) This isn't the best usage of shards, but it promises to make your opponents pretty angry.

People seem to be missing the benefits of this item.
I'm planning on using this at 70 for arena.
Imagine having a destro spec involving Fel Domination/Master Summoner, along with Imp Voidwalker.
You summon a voidwalker before the arena starts, sac it, summon another one, arena starts. You sac this void when your old sac wears out. Then, you make a macro involving this trinket, Fel Dom and Master Summoner, and you have another Voidwalker to sac free of mana or soulstone in a total time of .5 seconds. Thats three voidwalker sacs free of mana. Not to mention you'll have Imp Healthstone with this spec, giving you even more HP at your disposal.

Take this trinket when you get to choose your quest reward, I didn't and I still regret it. As a sacrifice destro spec I sacrifice the voidwalker a lot when questing/grinding and I use him to solo old Azeroth instances. Since you can't get new soulshards there this trinket would be a godsend. Shame on me for not taking it back then :)

This is being nerfed in WotLK. Instead of:

Use: Casts your Summon Voidwalker spell with no mana or Soul Shard requirements. (30 Min Cooldown)

The new use reads:

Use: Casts your Summon Voidwalker spell with no mana requirements. (30 Min Cooldown)

So basically, no more free soul shard every 30 minutes. RIP little buddy.

Am I the only one always having at least 10 Soul Shards? I don't see the use of this trinket when I have at least 10 Soul Shards anyway.

Prepatch notes says “The Abyss Shard has been changed to grant a passive 15 stamina bonus, but no longer removes the soul shard requirement from casting a voidwalker.” Sometimes the gamemasters forget to change the items people already have so get them wail they're good.

Comentado por Iceman640

wow.. in the patch they are changing this perfectly good item to be pretty much garbage at later levels now. I for one did still use this at 70 to get an extra soul shard. Soul shards are dumb enough, do they have to get rid of a way to get them? :-/ thanks a lot blizz!

Comentado por Stapler

I feel for you people who did get it once, but I can now finally stop slamming my head against the wall for not choosing the trinket back when I had no clue.

Comentado por 195289

but you know what? they are making gear do that for your whole account when the expansion comes out so that argument is out of the question.

This point is also moot because the abyss shard is not Bind on Account. It's an item obtained by a warlock at level 50 to be used at level 50, not an item obtained at level 50 to be used until the end of time. Why you would bring that up is beyond me.

Why would it bother you that they would change something from an older instance? The game isn't 100% about the newest content. Seeing as how this item affected the higher end of game play, it needed to be fixed. Blizzard designed the game and if they feel an item is overpowered, then it's overpowered.

As for the rest of your argument the solution is simple: learn to use Drain Soul, don't run out of shards, don't pull more than you can handle. I have a warlock myself and followed these same rules, and you know what? I never used the abyss shard once in my journeys as a warlock because I followed those 3 simple guidelines. The change is fine, if you have a problem with it then you're probably bad, sorry to say.

This item is great forever, not for the free soul shard, but for the fact that in conjunction with Fel Domination, you can summon a tank almost immediately using no mana. There are a lot of soloing situations as a lock where your vw dies, or you sac him, or you had to dismiss him for one reason or another, and you need another one right away. The abyss shard is a situational item as others before have pointed out. There are *situations* where it can be part of your strategy to succeed. To quote myself, it's generally not a win strategy to Life Tap when a bunch of stuff is beating on you, and why would you ever let yourself run out of shards? The +15 stamina is more useful than the free shard. Since you are probably sacrificing some stats by equipping this, 150 health is better than nothing, and a free shard is nothing.

A good example of its use is soloing instances with invis pots. You have to dismiss your demon when you use the invis pot, and there are sometimes spots when you have to drop invis and fight elites immediately. It is really nice to start those fights with full mana and a tank.

This item was freaking sweet to get an extra shard if you were on pre-BC raids and you ran out of them. Obviously, Blizzar has changed it into a Bull@#$% on the Pre-WOTLK patch, and now this item is most used to clean our ass and destroy it as soon as possible.

Thanks Blizzard. I love you.
Ironic off.

As of the new patch the following changes have been made:

The Abyss Shard has been changed to grant a passive 15 stamina bonus, but no longer removes the soul shard requirement from casting a voidwalker.

... on a side note...

I want that staff

To quote his quote:

Any warlock with respect for themselves would never run out of shards while soloing. Perhaps in raids it -could- be a problem, but now that they changed Soul Drain to actually deal damage, any warlock who gets out of soulshards during a Naxx raid is a dumb-nut(sorry for the expression)

Soul Harvester will always be one of the coolest staffs in game. I'm glad I picked it.

Tested in Wrath 3.0.3.9183, it cost a Soul Shard for summoning the Voidwalker by using the Abyss Shard.
