Feedback (priest ability)

Feedback is a Human priest racial ability. When active, any spell cast against the priest will burn the enemy's mana and damage them.

• Feedback's damage cannot proc Blackout, nor will it add Shadow Weaving stacks.
• The mana drain effect can be reduced by resilience. Additionally, the damage taken can be further reduced by shadow resistance.

• Although Feedback is a highly situational spell (both due to the duration and cooldown), it can be extremely useful in some situations. For example, a mage's Pyroblast can be successfully countered by quickly casting Power Word: Shield and Feedback.
• This spell appears to proc on every tick of a channeled spell. Because of this, using it when attacked by channeled spells is a very fast and mana efficient way to hurt an enemy caster's mana, channel time, and health.

• In Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, Feedback was an ability used by human arcane towers and blood elf Spellbreakers with similar effects on mana using units.
• Prior to patch 1.10.0, this was a temporary weapon buff that gave weapon swings a chance to drain mana and deal an equal amount of shadow damage per mana drained.
