Misery is a Tier 8 Priest talent in the Shadow tree. It causes the Priest's [Mind Blast], [Mind Flay] and [Mind Sear] spells to give the target a debuff that increases spell damage taken by 5/10/15% of the Priests total spellpower. Your [Shadow Word: Pain], [Mind Flay] and [Vampiric Touch] also increase the chance for harmful spells to hit by 1/2/3%, lasting 24 seconds.
Misery benefits all other casters in the party as it increases the chance for spells to hit.
