Blizzard Address Shadow Priest In the near future

Location : Botton of trash
Level : Already 70

Blizzard cast [Power Word: Fk you] for 99999999 wedontgiveafk damage to All Shadowpriest.

Blizzard cast [Vanish] til next xpac once again.

Tired…

Nerwo cast [Desperate Prayer] and [Heal] to Blizzard

they threw away shadow and gave us 0% useful spells :stuck_out_tongue:

Love out DPS’ing many shadow priests as a holy priest in mythic+. Wrong talents and gear build you shadow priest nuts.

Yeah I mean those +5s must be full of real competitive players using optimal setups, damn I wish I could do a key that high. Maybe AMR could help.

Or you get a great tank who stacks tons of trash mobs and then we AoE then… Do well over 20k dps as AoE that way. In full pvp gear and spec but there are youtube videos about how holy priest can do great dps.

Now if you add Divine Image lego and boon of the ascended. Basically attacks from boon of the ascended will cause the Divine Image to attack. When this happens there is an increase in dps.

This is one of the reasons the best overall lego is Divine Image.

The thing about stating optimal setups is that you are making the statement you know what the optimal setup is and that is very hard to prove. You have to sim the content, like from a log and then work out the optimal setup from that.

Basically most sims are just a target dummy which will not lead to an optimal setup in all cases. Real competitive players is meaningless because you can’t prove they have optimal setups and you will likely take them from warcraft logs or based on the highest keys they do. This doesn’t mean their gear is an optimal setup, just a setup that works and there is lots of room to play with there. This doesn’t mean that they are getting the best dps as well.

The statement just implies, the players that have done highest keys. This is a small sample size right away, with likely common gear builds. Can you account for every build with that small sample size, with a talent and gearing bias. Well no.

Well next expack shadow is bottom tier good luck wow devs P:

shadow destroyed in 4 days from now.

I think with the now nerfed downer version of shadow its worth takeing the mind bender build and toss Pi on Thing from beyond

Mind spike build

or

Mind flay build

Hello Thellanah,

Its amazing, that there are soo many different builds for Shadow out there, because no one really knows at this point, what sims best.

I like you to builds, but would probably build different myself. Are those two for M+ and Raid alike or whats the focus? And even having to ask this, is weird, lol.

This tree is so mixed up with stuff and in the end, if you go down AoE You cant even pick your best nodes or all of them for that matter.

But MB (Bender) really seems mandatory at this point, although I would be interested if Ysashj also is. Pain of Death is nice to see, as many ppl I have watched, just flat out disregarded this… however giving SW:D finally some meaning is wonderful. At this point, I would have been happy if they combined PoD with Psalm, for ST, so that SW:D can also stay relevant in ST situations.

But tossing Pi to Thing from Beyond was pretty good be4 the nerf. I wonder how it performs now. At least this gives us more control. haha.

You can’t really build without MFI with current tuning, even if your main filler in single target is mind spike (It is).

I also found it more difficult to pick ST talents, like aoe I have some idea of what I need to grab. FEELS WEIRD.

And yes there’s no alternative to bender/sfp AFAIK, no Lonely Winter choice (mage talent, buffs your main spells but no water elemental). I think in the build-your-own-shadowpriest world, pet or not should be a real decision.

Can anybody give me a TLDR for how Shadow is looking in PvP?

Its general blizzard not really careing i think half our dps is gone now when searing nightmare is gone as a spender and mind sear is gimped.

Forceing us to play shadow crash.’

Like half our dps choice is gibberish.

Well it sad but truth spoken. Now we need to aim our trash ability’s. Can blizzard add back cascade and make so we have cds that doesn’t have cast timers on them.

They were really fast nerfing shadow down to the floor.

Now we are just a conner class again for one another joke expack.

Every other class have their stuff showing in raids but shadowy apparitions no screw us :P.

Not even warlock have cast timers on their cds or Aoe spells.
