trying to point out that â bull is what blizzard has done with shadow ever since legion.
Also no instant cast [Dark Ascension][Void Eruption] or secured moment or cast while on the move or secure dot spreading we are still locked in a 8 year old mechanic void bolt that is boring as can be.
The need to do something new instead bring back shadow we are not a void full of ->bull .
They should give us hero instead of Pi and make DA VF instant cast and give mindbender a random proc rate during combat and that it cleaves during VF and DA with normal damage.
Like we have a pet and they give us these sloppy joe weak ending idols as a joke joe factory.
Our aoe is locked behind a sloppy joe [Psychic Link] passive with no secured dot spread.
with that bull . I sign on for next ex pack of disappointing reworks.
and to end with bull is shadow crash when tank moves all the time and you miss that is the utter bull .
Just because u can âfailâ doesnt mean we lack a secured way to spread DoTs. Shadow crash is absolutely fine.
Why are people so against the concept you can fail your rotation. It should be a thing. Yes shadow crash can miss. But the idea should be, if u missplay it should have punishment.
Im sorry but no. 3/4s of these âproblemsâ are not problems. Theyre something u dislike. That is a very different situation and not one u can rectify. Because we all have very different wants and demands and blizzards never gonna make 1 design which makes us all happy.
The only issue realistically with the new design of shadow is simply how disrupted our dps is the moment we are forced to move.
Making void eruption / dark ascension instant wont fix that.we need measures of mobility in our sustain damaging tools.
Psychic link imho is amazing, and i dont understand how u can say the current design of our AoE which is a expansive AoE sloppy
While u preach SL S4s design which is based on a tier set carrying searing nightmare.
Our Damage is fine. Our AoE is better then its been in a long while. Our issues are damage on the move.
Until ur forced to move while i can agree spriest is no where near as bad as thell likes to make out.
I feel pvp shadow is really strong too. They buffed our damage and healing. Yes we have less instant cast but when we can do so we really pump. Its gonna take some adjusting but for now i feel shadow in pvp is fine.
I see a lot of tears when it comes to shadow and pvp but I really feel were in a good spot
I think itâs in a good spot but only because the talent changes shook out to also be a damage increase. If they removed void torrent from insidious ire (Something Iâm shocked they even added in the first place) or otherwise reduced the damage Iâm not sure itâd be so great.
Aside from all, I thought this was still in the game and I just didnât have it. It used to be a thing. If itâs removed I definitely agree to wanting it back.
shadow crash isnt fun.(Shadow Priest is heavily reliant on Shadow Crash for our AoE damage. Without this spell, or if the spell does not work correctly we need to spend 1 cast per target to get DoTs actively rolling. While Iâm not advocating for removing manual DoTing entirely, I am advocating for less reliance on a projectile spell to get our AoE rolling in a meaningful way.)- not even on a mental plane is that fun while having a tank moving constantly.â thats why Cascade should make a comeback in some way.
I agree. We got more hard casts but also more damage to even it out. I can understand people will find it frustrating to play but to be honest, i feel like SP is the kill target for years, while inside arena.
Blizzard failed pvp shadow. For pve it feels stale when you wait for [Shadow Crash] [Void Torrent], also when you miss [Shadow Crash] or have to run away canât cast a full [Void Torrent] makes you face grin.
This design feels stale at best we need a blink ability like door of shadows back in the game and soulshape would fix the class quite a bit i liked those things we had in shadowlands it made a quality of life for shadow both in pve and pvp and raid- I gladly give up boddy and soul for those.
Shadow should get door of shadows and Discipline and holy should get Soulshape
We are literally the least mobile class in game. Considering our counter parts.
Weâre shadowpriests not mages. If u want a blink and more mobility maybe you should consider rerolling.
Ive been reading a lot of what you said and everywhere you seem to be so negative. Are you even enjoying SP a little bit? Or is the forum for you a place to vent?
In fairness, I do think that it is BS that we are the only class that does not have burst mobility- Or that our interrupt is tied to a talent point in a spec tree, rather than being in the class tree or even better, being baseline to shadow. Every single other class does.
I mean itâs fine if Blizzard states that they want classes to have different strengths and weaknesses and they want them to be unique, but then they need to apply that across the board- Not just to shadow priests.
Take the incoming mage changes for example. Blizzard states that âPriests were not casting enoughâ, by their own words, despite mages in general casting fair less than priests do. And are far more mobile than us too, but now they get rune of power removed because âits not fun to sit still and cast spellsâ - Well, expect if you are a priest, apparently.
I donât disagree that Thellenah has completely gone down the deep end with SP changes, but there are valid points there.
In fairness to the game shadow has burst but its very not mobile at the moment I think they should make changes to Void Torrent that you can cast that while moving.
Or rather when you are affected by Dark Ascension or void form it makes you able to cast while moving.
Would make PVP less target game and more mobile for shadow literally gameplay wise feels like 2012 just not fun. melee meta.
WE had Door Of shadows loads of priest actually wanted that instead of mind games. A Short blink that saves the day we step in to shadow for awhile and enters a short distance away really they should remove boddy and soul and add that and add and a shield for 60 sec after youâve used Door of shadows.
I still donât get why we should hard cast void form / Dark Ascension like the only class with a cast time CD is shadow. Should be instant cast.
all i can say void form needs to go it feels clunky also the 2min cd feels downgrading for both pvp and pve also void bolt feels punishing to press.
can you do something with mind bender already it feels less shadow and more like a claustrophobic mind S****t
Also can you make [Dark Ascension] instant cast.-
make that mind bender gives damage increase the longer you keep it up or what not i feel bored in aoe situations this season is a drag in both pvp and pve. Season 1 felt better but still sluggish.
Im not feeling this version of shadow it feels sloppy and where is the aoe ?
Litterally make DA instant cast make mind bender cleave, Mind blast spread VT and give us Doors of shadows instead of Body and Soul.
Like can you fix shadow so its less of a claustrophobic experience so it is up to code like literally all other classes deals damage better and has better mobility and damage on their mobility how could Shadowlands priest go to this is mind boggling either add back mind sear or make mindbender a cleave pet that is a toggle version.
This is not fun
Literally the pvp experience is our dots is dispelled deals 0 damage.
Our dots in pve deals 0 damage in ST and aoe tank moves 24/7 our mobility canât keep up to dot can you remove void form and add back cascade and remove void bolt and make DA instant cast and fix so we get Doors of shadow I miss having a blink like we had in shadowlands.
hate shadow crash and how you force it in our face.
can you fix shadow for season 3 this is not fun.
not fun in the slightest blizzard.
we go oom after one mass dispel like can you fix shadow youâve had 4 years.
its the devs that canât design the specc to code for the content like our dots get instant dispelled in pvp we have cast timers on everything part from devouring that cost insanity and shadow crash that miss.
Everyone have mobility charges leaps and silences and auto silences on charge leaps stuns and what nots.
Pvp feels less fun now in season 2 than it did season 1 with them making DA and VF cast time.
Pve wise raid wise It feels like our dots deals less damage than it did previous expacks this version feels anti climax compared to what other classes has to offer shadow feels like still in beta.
Is this all the devs has to offer then its very disappointing.-
Like make Pi a five man buff add back cascade Remove boddy and soul add back Doors of shadows with 2 stacks and make it shadow themed that gives you an absorbsion and fear anyone who stands near the landing of door of shadow.
Make VF and DA instant cast again and add back Mind Spike Instant cast proc.
Is it so hard to fix a specc
Dragonflight compared to Shadowlands priest feels way of like shadowlands was bad but this is terrible on a stick.
is what blizzard has done with shadow ever since legion.
while i can agree spriest is no where near as bad as thell likes to make out.
