Blizzard Address Shadow Priest In the near future

Thanks for remembering me to always watch how ppl have skilled because this is the worst troll skill tree i could possibly imagine. I would not even take you to a M0 with this garbage.

  1. Twins is the best skill in our general tree. Not taking is dumb.
  2. You definitely want Void Eruption in M+, not Dark Ascencion. DA works in Raids but with Mind Spike skilled
  3. Always Auspicious Spirits or you will never ever generate enough insanity for Mind Sear

Agree with Mindgames. This skill adds nothing in our tool. Its just +1 keybind, is the same as Mindblast, but has no interaction with anything we have. Halo is also meh, at least it provides some healing.

It was not nerfed. It was changed. It does insane damage

You seem to hate almost everything. My question is, why are you crying for at least 2 years now about SP but still play it? Im really not sure if you are trolling around in the forums because either you feel bored and do so, or you are very simple minded and just…a very bad player? I mean denying to press the core and best skills SP has now is a big question mark for me now.

Spinning cranekick nerfd monks still does top dps.

revert Mind sear so you can spam it instead.

I got 2500 score in season 1 2 3 2500 in season 4 etc etc mythic + don’t claim to be the best priest but void bolt was useless after season 1 in shadowlands didn’t even use it since all the other ability did more dps and searing nightmare was better to press and mind sear.

Will still be the case in season 1 dragon lands.

I don’t mind if general noobs thinks this version is ok when everyone else is doing 80% more dps with their better aoe.

I still think the multi billion dollar company can do a better rework than this pity mistake of a release.

Either that or hire competent dev teams.

  • Its not worth taking Twin Priestess since its not just worth it gives you nothing.

3% spell ward is even better.

what they need to do is

Change back Mind sear.

make shadow crash cost 50 insanity make it dot anything that it comes in contact with
as long as your in combat with it

No. You should check SPs interaction with auspicious spirits, Voidbolt and insanity generation.

It was definitely useless in aoe situations but now its more than important to spawn more ghostys to get more insanity for mind sear. We dont have a constant aoe filler spell now so you 100% need to press it if MB is on CD and you dont press Mind Sear. This is a big win in playstyle because making a core ability completely useless almost a whole dungeon was a bad design.

Its far from perfect now, but its a big upgrade to previous SP in m+

And thats why i think you are trolling. Still not sure.

Not trolling I don’t see any use of it since it don’t buff your damage.

Why waste a talent that you can’t use on your self. For dps-

In general by a multibilliondollar company.

revert it back to 9.2.5 and bring back our four set and add in some cool effects on it instead.

Make shadow crash a spender and revert back Mind sear.

Also I use the Wings instead of void form since It gives you insanity.-

There is actually a case for tormented spirits to spawn Yogg faster, but then you operate around that and I don’t know enough to judge the rest of her spec.

Yogg compared to our four set they had in the beta when mind blast proc it was better then you got dps on demand now you have to wait for ages mean while people already killed them adds before the lousy yogg spawned.

Shadow as a whole this season feels like the dev team generaly hates the Priest word.

Our aoe is garbage.

Either they should add back Mind Sear or change yogg to proc of Instant mind blasts instead.

either this

Could be optional specc

Please show me the dps talent you are taking instead of… oh that’s right, there are no other dps talents on the class tree making your argument completely irrelevant. In fact, the one dps talent that is left (Mindgames) you STILL didn’t take, which is pretty justifiable for Mythic+ but still doesn’t excuse not taking twins.

So you’re taking the bad talent because it gives you resources, to offset the fact you took the other bad talent that doesn’t give you resources? Do I have this right.

This is almost worse than you playing AM + Misery on single target in raids and complaining you didn’t do any damage when shadow was one of the best single target dps specs in the game at the end of CN.

that they sure did. Was pointing out near end of CN that we had no aoe and blizzard fixed that during season 3 - 4 with an fantastic four set that was too good to be true. So they removed it because it was to good to stack up to 1min for aoe and instant single target damage living shadow was the best to come out of shadowlands.

And blizzard had to remove it for 0 reasons same like they did with Cascade.

Also back in CN I played Venthyr Priest.

Also Mind games has been reduced by 25% still think doing Mind blast and or doting over weights it.

It doesn’t. For disc it does (or it’s very close) but for shadow it doesn’t.

Still wouldn’t run it in keys because of other things but it’s absolutely a dps increase for single target / raids, and probably still is in dungeons if you’re really min maxing.

I can agree for raids or 15min fights but for m+ I think sustain > a downgrade dot is kind of big deal.

Well the bigger difference is in dungeons you aren’t playing mind spike, which means you aren’t reducing the cooldown anywhere near as much. Shadow doesn’t have a filler spell that scales with target count, so single target spells are still part of your rotation with roughly equal priority to normal as long as it doesn’t result in notably less mind sears.

Can’t argue with that I still think they could’ve done something cool like living shadow again or something cool that proc of our instant mind blasts. Our mastery is kind of useless. Yeah sure shadow weave has been a kind of a Downgrade for anyone who can’t play around it because it is just random depending how tanks pulls or rng procs.

I think living shadow should have been implanted to our mastery and reworked.

To deal more damage the higher mastery and vers you got.

It was a interesting thing I liked it blizzard lost an opportunity.

Living shadow was an astounding set bonus I though we would see follow us in to Dragon Flight.

Besides waiting for something to do while we have down timers living shadow was fun to keep up it was like a shadow priest 2.0 but better done.

It was the dev team thinking of a revers dot to play around with It’s rather sad they are to scared to play around with fun things.

This man says it all

class balance none existing

Mind games halo feels like ‘‘extra buttons’’

Another argument for taking twins is

Sweet Light, this group = suffering, I want this key to be over ASAP

And then you PI someone and get a move on. Definitely had that feeling in raid pugs already.

No need to argue here, if you do not take this talent with you, you spit on one of the most useful talent for a party in the game right now.

Hes definitely right with mindgames and halo, but this video is still out of date. Do not spread misinformation please. While this was right some weeks ago, Shadowpriests spot TODAY looks a lot different than in this video. Damage is a lot higher and different talents are taken.

I tried it for myself. Feels really good to create a purple crossroad full of ghosts, but you will feel the loss of insanity to press your Mind Sear. Ghostys and Yogg will do a lot more damage overall but it feels bad to play only single target rotation in aoe because of the missing insanity and only hope for MD procs.

Yes, but you totally ignore you can stay in voidform around 1 minute in big packs (and ofc higher keys) which results in 10 times more insanity you gain from 1 talent. Void Eruption is so much better right now.

All in all i can say now is, that if you play keys under level 20, you can be screwed depending on your party. That could be the reason you are doing less than 20k overall with 300 ilvl, or you just take trash talents like Thellanah is suggesting all the time.

If you can dump a lot of Mind Sears and dot every single mob (you definitely want to dot everyone, except a gambit bigpull), damage is amazing.

On Wednesday when they kill our talent twin of the priestess they should make so our pi gives us more haste if we put it on another ally because its kind of a dps loss for shadow at the moment like come on blizzard either do that or removed Pi all together.

That would be great.

How exactly can you do that when it last 15 sec?

Each 25 Insanity you spend you increase the duration by 1 second. You will absolutely stay in voidform all the time during burst scenarios in aoe.

Yeah, I’m doing better than before in keys for sure, and that’s including mistakes because I’ve yet to get used to the tools. I think my talents are mostly right, tho I made the mistake of thinking psychic link was still good, atm it’s better to put the points in dark evangelism iirc.

lol this is so sad

his expression is what i feel about wow dev team :stuck_out_tongue:

I think the dev for shadow in this expack needs to take a U turn and remake shadow one more time this ain’t it. It feels like doggy with so much different deep fried builds that don’t work.

It feels like the other classes got looked through and fixed. Shadow is a Paris wheel of mind games that hurts in your head.
