Mind Blast is Shadow-based direct damage spell. It has a quick cast-time considering its high damage and mana costs, at the expense of having a relative long cooldown.

Notes

The formula for Mind Blast is calculated based on the damage given in the table above. The value given on the tooltip includes up to 10% bonus damage from the Darkness talent, which is a bit wrong since talent effects is supposed to be included after bonus damage for damage spells. To convert between the tooltip-listed base damage and real base damage use the following formula.

Real_base_damage = Listed_base_damage / (1 + Darkness_bonus)

The formula for calculating the damage from this spell is as follows:

Damage_done = (Real_base_damage + (1.5/3.5) * Spelldamage * Downrank_factor) * (1 + Darkness_Bonus)

A lvl 70 priest with 760 shadowdamage and full ranks in Darkness would end up with (max damage)

Damage_done = (752 + (1.5/3.5) * 760 * 1.0) * ( 1 + 0.10 ) = 1185
