Blizzard Address Shadow Priest In the near future

Mythic + shouldnt be tested more often than they are lower karazhan is a freak show like

I can’t do S**t against that as shadow. Also void form Is pure garbage. Why have a CD which isn’t instant either put surrender to madness instead of it. In to our talent three and make it put us at 30% hp when its done like the pvp talent that would fix shadow not that we die.

I think searing nightmare is boring and you have no time to time clicking the mindblast prox why can’t they prox both be in to the same bottom its annoyingly clucky…

Just make searing nightmare make a ghost that channels my searing nightmare for me when i dot.

There is no damage either way our aoe is a crappiest ive ever seen our four set dont even tick as much as a bm beast cleave…

can you fix this clucnky fiesta blizzard…

Can you fix shadow we nearly dont doe any aoe damage compare to a BM, warlock, mm Monk rogue anything can you buff shadow word pain up please.

What about remove SN, and instead make Shadow Crash an AOE spender with no cd.

or they could add back cascade but with a slower ramp up time but with a big dps reward

Developers’ note:

want searing nightmare?

Community NO

Blizzard 4 years later Oh YEAH lets make shadow priest play with that even though people want cascade back.

Blizzard clearly listens.

Welcome to one more cluckier fiesta in rushed released Dragonflight now without sustain.

Even mop was better than this.

I got a fun fact for ya’ll, the same post Thel took that table from, we’re actually shown as top 6 for single target damage. So calling us an F tier spec is wrong, because when it comes to straight boss damage we’re A+ tier. Granted yes it does feel awful because of the bloat from SFP.

And this utterly insane remove Voidform movement that’s going is completely insane! We NEED it, because without it our damage become static, and if it becomes static no one will want us for M+ due to not being able to pop off when needed in this burst oriented meta. The 100 times better solution would be to separate it from Void Eruption, so that it would be instant cast, off GCD as other CD’s and castable while casting other spells

Void form is such an uncomic boorish cd like paladin wing is instant cast and i get afraid when using it void form is nothing like it.

were still an f tier when it comes to aoe. and blizzard does 0% to fix it

After playing mu girlfriends shadow priest i sort of get why shes struggling.

To me does the class feels like a clunky and bloated with spells and a pain when a fight requires a lot of movement. Compared to many other classes i’ve played

If i should change anything about it would i:

Combine Mind Flay and Mind Sear into one spell. Its primary target would take same damage as the mind flay and all other adds around the target would take damage like what Mind Sear does. Removing Mind Sear feels like its only there to be able to cast Searing Nightmare

Mind Blast and Void bolt also feels like they should just combined it into one. Issue with it might just be that if void bolt procs and Dark Thoughts proc at the same time would it lock out the other and semi give the issue Frost mages have with their procs

Feeling like you have to keep track of too many things and many cooldowns can go to waste since they requires being stationary

Did you mean Mind Sear?
And the problem with combining the two channels is that it’ll break any CC that’s nearby.

I do like combining Void Bolt and Mind Blast. They could just give the effects of Void Bolt to Mind Blast during Voidform.

Yeah mind sear. Changed it.

Could always be done something smart like it won’t break targets around it that is affected by a loss of control duno

They did combine mind flay and sear back in legion i thinkz if i remember people really didnt like it.

blizzard need to go away from channeling and make mind blast spamable or something i think i like that way more.

Make it spread dots to near by targets

People were initially happy because untying the two spells meant they could buff sear to do more than 48% of mind flay’s damage without breaking the target breakpoint for when you’d cast the spell, allowing sear to be independently tuneable and actually do some damage.

Then bliz didn’t even do that, and we were left with a slightly less flexible aoe button that had no upside compared to its old design.

Would you not be moving very close to being too alike warlock with this decision.

I dont think mindflays a problem. Nor channeled abilities.

The problem is mind sear with searing nightmare just doesnt feel good in its AoE rotatoon.

You make mind blast spammable and we are litterally old aff lock, shadow bolt filler with DoTs

Yeah mind sear has never rly gotten amazing sadly, kinda hoping we see AoE reworked and maybe a move away from its direction.

Mindflays fine as its a filler effectively and in our ST rotation we have enough to hold up to feel like we arent spamming a channel.

Our AoE rotation being smaller and SN, just makes it feel even worse as we channel to then cast the ability to then channel again.

Curious to if removing Mind sear, leave Searing nightmares but rework it to pulse around targets affected by shadow word pain. Would make it abit more tolerable.
