The second Torghast event that we're previewing is called Chorus of Dead. It transforms you into a monstrosity, granting you access to special abilities while you are inside the tower.

After Unbridled Darkness, the Demon Hunter Simulator, another special event enabled for testing on the Shadowlands Beta is called Chorus of Dead Souls.

The Maw Power transforms you into a Deadsoul Chorus, replacing all your abilities with custom ones that you further empower with Anima Powers as you ascend the tower.

Chorus of Dead Souls - Assume the form of a Deadsoul Chorus, replacing your abilities with Maw based spells. While in this form, you have 50% increased damage and healing as well as 20% increased movement speed. Friendly players may merge with your form to add to the chorus.





Your damage and healing will be increased by 50% and movement speed by 20% while in the form.

List of Abilities

Wailing Blast - Launches a blast of negative energy at an enemy, inflicting [ 200% of Spell Power ] Shadow damage and interrupting spellcasting, preventing any spell in that school from being cast for 4 sec. Scream of Pain - Release a wild scream, inflicting [ 90% of Spell Power ] Shadow damage to enemies within 10 yds. Phase Shift - Shifts out of reality, reducing all damage taken by 90% for 1.5 sec. This can be cast while casting. Twisting Shadows - Leap through the shadows, teleporting to a targeted location.

You can freely move in and out of the form, but you don't want to do that too often.

With this week’s update to the Shadowlands Beta, we’re kicking off a test of some special events for Torghast, and we have them set on a daily rotation. The first Anima Hoard you discover on a run will have unique choices that help define the rest of your run.

The events include:

Beasts of Prodigum: Your first Maw power chest allows you to gain control of a powerful Maw beast that fights alongside you during your run. Subsequent Maw powers you receive in this run have a chance to modify the beast and grant it special abilities. Chorus of Dead Souls: Your first Maw power chest allows you to assume the form of a Deadsoul Chorus, granting you special abilities. While in this form, your party members can right-click you to join your form and cast on the move. Subsequent Maw powers enhance your Deadsoul Chorus form in a variety of ways. Unbridled Darkness: Your first Maw power chest can grant you a vial of darkness that you can activate. Using it turns your screen completely dark and you are unable to see your surroundings. While under this effect, you gain large combat bonuses. Subsequent Maw powers enhance your combat bonuses or modify the darkness. Please let us know what you think of these as they come around in the Beta!
