B for boring at lest 
shadow is a odd specc what is it blizzard want you to do tbh you tier set speaks against it self. You need to keep void bolt mind blast devouring up while pet and channeling searing nightmare it feels like not a solid specc also them nerfing every covenant you guys had makes shadow a dead beat specc.
when it comes to aoe shadow is boring as can be they need to rework this in the next expack⌠am bored of their lackluster quick fixes that donât work in the long run.
For the next expansion 10.0 if mind bender stays up as a hunter/warlock pet and we can customization it with bunch of glyphs in to shadow stuff. You could just add so our passive does damage as our legendary does now, it would fix the lousy problem i have with the specc and also it make searing nightmare a ability we learn passive while doing mind sear this small changes would make shadow priest more enjoyable to play. Then we would do mind sear to spread shadowword pain then Mind blasting while our pet jumps at targets whilst we throw out shadow touches.
I have no room in this specc for void form this specc should go away from that ability and give us pet management instead.
Gonna be interesting to see if the new talent trees will aid us in any way. But tbh new talent system = spec re-imagination, otherwise I doubt that anything will really change
Well they canât screw up like they did shadowlands talent three the lvl 30 row will always bee remembered by me as the worst class choice ever made in any expack.
I just hope they bring back old abilitys like cascade and spectral guise and walk away from the void system and pi.
We need buffs in aoe and gameplay.

Well now shadow is going down to bottom dps again as expected.
Now they are below melee speccs even XD in over all, blizzard screwd up shadowlands priest big time. Heres hopeing 10.0 wont be as messed up
Well even the four set stinks it props when adds are down this way of shadow is not fun anymore at all my guilders donât even want me to deal damage anymore i dont know what blizzard are doing anymore with this specc, Like can they remove void form searing nightmare go back to the root game play.
well this expack has proven that if itâs one specc that needs a rework. Itâs shadow because the gap between pro people and gamers is so huge. People rather take a D tier specc that can do more cleave rather than single target and by blizzard doing no justice towards the 4p set is rather sad.
This has nothing to do with top dps, just that the class it self is hard and blizzard arenât trying to address it for over 3 expacks now.
Plus that dude is a holy main trolling every shadow post
who is holy ? Do share information am in dire need of knowing.
The dude quoted in the reply before me
I feel sorry for shadow that everyone just go holy now in pvp the class specc is totally dead 
Holy priest does 100 more dot damage than a shadow priest in shadowform lol blizzard sleepsâŚ

Sadly as it has been every time shadow falls behind nothing happens.
well destro lock is busted again, and their lego and 4 sets just made the aoe godsâŚ
Boost shadowflame damage.
make mindblast a spell worth the cooldown or remove the cooldown.â
make SN base and increase the sear damageâŚ
They should revert the nerfs to mind sear and add back cascade without a GCD should you could prox that during a mind sear, then removed searing night mare and bring back so mind flay prolongs the dot on shadow word pain when you mind flay you main targets.
and add back Stuff like Arc angelic wings which prox of your devouring plague that increas your magical damage with 15% for 15 seconds and remove Void eruption and forget about that ever existed. Then remove Powerword Infusion from the game it donât work as it is now in game holy is to op.
Make shadow word pain last longer.
and lastly add glyphs so you can choose for if shadow form would shine brighter or similar to that moonkings druids optional. Remove the void tentacle shine
AOE is a cluster and the new SP playstyle is way to much tied to mindflay and mindsear.
mindblast proc should have stayed tied to SWP to make the spec more interesting.
i think you need some sort of cd based damage but the way Voidform acts now makes everything else we do nefed to the ground to not be to OP when we enter Voidform.
I dont mind the voidform but i hate that whet used to be a great fun Dot class is killed buy adding a cd mode like voidform,
i would rather se them nerf or better just remove voidform, and look at what shadow realy isâŚ
dots should do damage now they just do somethingâŚ
mindblast hits so bad its a joke⌠and it has a CD? if it hit 5x more then the CD would be warrented but now . NO.
and not having a option to not be mindflaying is also sadâŚ
maybe move Searing Nightmare to base and add mindspike as a talant and make it act abit like ice lance castable when moving.
but while we wait for 10.0
blizzard needs to act so we dont have to struggle for a whole year.
Shadowflame prism damage could go up.
mindsear damage Should be stronger.
MINDBLAST should do 3x more or remove the cd.

I start to wonder if mind blast is something you deal damage with even anymore they should remove ââVoid Formââ its no fun or rewarding to play around.
Weâve been like this for 3 years now in this expack Am waiting for blizzard to address this problem they created them self.
I like the fact Holy priest Holy Fire deals 7k whilst a mind blast does 3k, a Shadow word pain in shadow form and void bolt active deals 352 damage per tick as shadow whilst a holy priest with no damage increase buffs deals 707 damage with same dot per tick which is unfair tuning.
i do totally agree,.
and i dont want the instant proc tied to mindflay / sear i want it back to swp so it can proc when we move.
they could also rework powerinfusion and make it like âHidden in Shadowsâ
Infuses the target with power of shadow for 20 sec, increasing haste by 25% and allows the priest to cast mindblast with no cooldown.
i also feel that dispersion needs a rework for pvp.
we cant do any damage in dispersion.
maybe have a pvp tallent so when in dispersion any damage back to the priest is reflected back
I think what shadow needs is just a big remake!
Blizzard just remaking it into something useful rather trying to make it so slow it donât fit the game style In m+ you canât do any damage unless you get on the boss like even with searing nightmare and void form up you do less damage than a hunter/warlock.
This class specc is rather dead in shadowlands for two reasons
Mindsear deals no damage
and
shadow word pains damage is a joke

I honestly donât like Mindsear that much. It feels quite lazy spell design. Maybe they could add a passive effect to Swp for example crits could make the enemy swing their weapon in panic and deal aoe dmg around them.
