Veiled Shadows

Veiled Shadows is a Tier 1 talent in the priest Shadow talent tree that reduces the cooldown of the priest's Fade and Shadowfiend abilities.

This talent is useful for PvE mainly for its reduction of cooldown on the Shadowfiend ability. With threat being practically a non-issue in the current game, the reduction of Fade in PvE becomes less attractive but if a priest finds themselves with mana issues, the reduction in Shadowfiend would be useful, and also provides a little additional dps.

In PvP, the reduction in cooldown of Fade is useful for Shadow priests, with the Phantasm talent causing Fade to free the priest from all roots and snares. 2 points in Veiled Shadows results in a 20% reduction in Fade's cooldown, and being able to escape more often can save the priest's life.
