In the upcoming patch the new set bonus will render all our legendry’s apart from Necrolords Useless. Because we need to spam mind flay which we can’t do because some covenant rely on heavy on mind blast spam.
Ignoring the fact bliz have already said the set bonus is changing from its current design, your explanation makes no sense.
Other covenants suck because their legendaries suck. And the old set made that worse not by removing mind blast from the rotation, but because kyrian and night fae had better things to be doing than both mind blast and mind flay.
point proven blizzard rely heavy on the support system these days like the covenants and legendries to carry the class: I Would rather they make their classes stand on their own merit again. Rather than Blizzard adding in systems that takes away what the class should be.
feels finicky
Can you elaborate? You quoted 2 words.
Theres no point. Its just necroing his post with his alts…its pathetic.
Its like no aoe on demand dots that hits like a wet noddle a covenant bias class and blizzard not caring and nerfing them each patch when they need a rework and buffs especially in the aoe department.
This expansion is by far the worst shadow has ever been treated .
Mage tower is like fine example of how blizzard only catered towards classes that can move and shoot or slow while doing both and shadow can’t do any of those because we have to stand still to dps while a hunter insert any class
can just nuke 56k dps in one seconds.
even tanks can do that dps aoe wise blizzards hatred towards shadow needs to stop.
Mage hunter warrior monk druid paladin warlock death knight demon hunter ← has instant aoe
Well Heroes hopeing 9.2 wont be another failure

I don’t think this new set bonus will be much of an improvement in any game play because monks druids mages warriors just lets up and kills the targets. are blizzard sleeping in a Corner 
also our legendarys sucks if we ever get a 2nd legendary choice we will have no dps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nER8xmtq90&ab_channel=Niknoc
How you reached that conclusion I have absolutely no idea.
Pallid command was already our best legendary, with sfp and talbs not too far behind. Now we get pallid for free and somehow you think that’s bad? We’re getting the legendary we already used for free.
Sure it sucks that shadow only has one real covenant choice, but frankly now we can swap at will and use transmogs from other covenants I don’t see the issue as one of performance. Covenants as a system being poorly designed isn’t a reason to shoot yourself in the foot.
where is shadow priest damage tbh? we are below monks tanks any instant damage class in m+ and i’ve tried palldin command still no top damage and searing nightmare our aoe damage is like a wet noddle.
raid damage is like no relevant why pick a shadow priest when you can stack 3 droods with top damage or 3 mages or any other dps class that has a legendary that isn’t underwhelming its joke expansion i know i could quit but i want to point this out to blizzard that 9.2 set bonus ins’t even a help when 99% of our legendarys are useless stuff.
I mean… People who aren’t you are doing fine.
yea yea people with blizzards support system are doing it i mean why even bother a specialization at all when it don’t even do any relevant damage and blizzard nerfs it each expack when a frost mage can do 1 millions damage with icelance. this game is balanced alright. 
9.2 in general is sad excuse lets do a set bonus that helps shadow not even in the slightest and if we ever get to wear a 2nd legendary by 9.2 it wont be any good legendary like do blizzard even care about this specialization at all when all they do is buff useless talents.
no am not salty, am here to point out blizzards sloppy joe fixes. to a specc i like
Explain why you think this is the case. Please. Because everything we’ve seen so far points to the opposite, especially the fact shadow’s tier set was changed as a direct result of feedback that it didn’t help in aoe and was incredibly difficult to make work. Now it does aoe damage without needing SN, and isn’t tied to mind flay or sear.
Also I can’t help thinking your negative experience in raids is tied to trying to play Ancient Madness, Searing Nightmare, Mindbender, and Psychic Link as Necrolord.
Hut hum Clears throat Shadow priest feels like a bad gaming experience at first so blizzard gives us some of the worst legendary things i ever seen in my life story of wow 9.1.5. I Do not like that they spend time on systems that do not help anything instead of buffing the whole spec in instead of giving us meh things. I think what they do are wrong on so many things and that you support them. I think is comical they have nerf, shadow so you think shadow requires skill to play. I think it’s comical that dps we do is not even relevant in anything more than pvp.- Of course you can claim that showing talents is better I just think blizzard is lazy here the expansion is the worst i ever seen shadow or played- shadow. They do not even make an effort to make chore classes any better you go oom on 3 heals in the open world our aoe is so backwards hidden behind aid that you could put into the game to the class instead of making it so bad: We are like a circus lace hidden with all the other speccs I think.
So you don’t actually have an answer as to why you think shadow getting a set bonus that deals massive aoe damage and having access to its two strongest legendaries (which are both some of the strongest across all classes) is a bad thing.
its because blizzard can’t tune shadow . And are to lazy to fix our talent system so we can do 80k like a monk tank on aoe.
So how does that explain that the changes made in 9.2 are bad or don’t help?
Shadow has problems in its aoe design, I’ve said that repeatedly. But outside of bliz overhauling our aoe rotation (something I hope they do for 10.0), the next best thing is giving us a load of aoe damage that doesn’t require SN.
Which is exactly what they’ve done.
when? have blizzard fixed our aoe problem that has been added in since the launch of shadowlands?
this is sad.
