Surge of Darkness is a Shadow priest talent.

Trivia[]

  • During Warlords of Draenor under the older talent system, for Discipline and Holy priests it was replaced by Spell holy surgeoflight [Surge of Light]. In Dragonflight, Surge of Light is now in row 9 of the priest class's main talent tree and available to all specs.
