Seduction is a Sayaad ability granted by [Command Demon]. It mesmerizes a target and renders them unable to attack, cast or use any other abilities - they can only walk towards the Sayaad. Any damage caused to the target has a chance to remove the effect.

Patch changes

  • Dragonflight-Icon-Inline.png Patch 10.1.0 (2023-05-02): Duration decreased to 6 seconds in PvP combat (was 8 seconds).
  • Shadowlands-Icon-Inline.png Hotfix (2022-02-24): Fixed an issue where casting [Grimoire of Sacrifice]: Seduction on another player would break immediately and would not clear damage over time effects.
  • Shadowlands-Icon-Inline.png Patch 9.2.0 (2022-02-22): Now causes the target to slowly walk towards the demon. It now also has a chance to break on damage taken, rather than always breaking on the first instance of damage.
  • BattleForAzeroth-Logo-Small.png Hotfix (2018-08-08): Succubus will no longer automatically cast Seduction when the Warlock is affected by crowd control effects.
  • BattleForAzeroth-Logo-Small.png Patch 8.0.1 (2018-07-17): Now granted by [Command Demon] (was learned by default).
  • Legion-Logo-Small.png Patch 7.3.0 (2017-08-29): Icon updated from Spell shadow mindsteal.png
  • WoD-Logo-Small.png Patch 6.0.2 (2014-10-14): Now has a 30-second cooldown.
  • Cata-Logo-Small.png Patch 4.2.0 (2011-06-28): Many crowd control abilities no longer cause creatures to attack players when they are cast. The creature will not attack the player when the crowd control wears off, and nearby creatures will not become hostile to the player either. However, if a visible player gets too close to the target creature, the creature will remember and attack the player when the crowd control effect wears off. This includes Seduction.
  • Cata-Logo-Small.png Patch 4.0.6 (2011-02-08): Now has a PvP duration of 8 seconds.
  • Cata-Logo-Small.png Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Cast time and mana cost reduced, duration increased. Some related talents removed from game.
  • Bc icon.gif Patch 2.2.0 (2007-09-25): Duration against PvP targets has been reduced to 10 seconds.
  • WoW Icon update.png Patch 1.7.0 (2005-09-13): Succubus pets will be smarter about when to use Seduction.
  • WoW Icon update.png Patch 1.4.0 (2005-04-19): Now considered a Fear effect for purposes of diminishing returns.
  • WoW Icon update.png Patch 1.1.0 (2004-11-07): Mana cost reduced, increased the chance of breaking early.
