Maybe that’s just me though.

No, shamans are.
Monks are.
Druids are.
Paladins are.
Evokers are.
I have like 70% winrate vs voidweavers as a holy priest.
Why? Because they can’t just throw CC at me.
Others? Yeah, I have to rely on my teammates to stop the healers CC and then I’m just screwed if they don’t. A disc priest doesn’t get in fear range to me unless he exposes himself to my fear.
Like 100% of my games I’ve left recently have been because I get tilted from DPS just letting the enemy healer freecast CC on me and chase me down.
Of course, that’d mean sacrificing a GCD that they could otherwise have used to deal 5 million damage whilst healing their entire team.
What mmr are we talking?
2200~.
Nah, they literally can’t get close to me to CC me on their own unless they expose themselves to my fear.
Meanwhile a monk just incaps me, which is instant into sleep into leg sweep and my team just watches it happen.
Paladins just spam repentance.
Druids just spam cyclones.
Evokers spam sleep.
Shamans don’t have something spammable but they don’t have to go into melee with me to do it.
Disc priest can’t do anything of this on their own, they need others to control me to go in for a fear or they risk getting feared themselves.
Their damage is irrelevant to me, the rifts slow is more dangerous judging by how many times people have died by outranging me because I can’t move when it’s on me vs how many times the damage from the disc has been a problem. I really don’t understand why people are tilting at their damage when you can’t even move when you get the rift on you, not even as a druid can you shift it.
I have not lost a single game to a disc priest CCing me right at the start, I have lost a looooooot of games to rake → cyclone because DPS just runs in and get themselves killed instead of stopping the cyclone.
Ok but you know why that is? The people you’re facing are the fistweavers from last season. Fw got nerfed into uselessness so they rerolled to the next zero brain just spam damage from 46y and get wins you don’t deserve specc. So naturally if they face a person that has always played the same specc they will lose. You’re literally facing 1600 players.
Thank God they’re removing this in Midnight. Most cancer ability in the game.
Giving Polymorph to a healer that can already stun you for 6 seconds from range was straight up stupid. The worst part is it doesn’t even share DR with things like Hunter traps, I hate this ability to much. Moreso in 2s than the other brackets, but still, but you get HoJ’d in shuffle and none of your team mates will bother interrupting the Paladin, that’s still infuriating.
The Monk CC chain is risky and highly unpractical. It requires the Monk to be exposed, usually good Priests will fade the Incap and Fear the Monk instead.
Song of Chi’ji is also probably the most garbage CC in the game: has a cast time, requires a very slow moving cloud to hit the target, can’t be spammed, same school of magic as every other Monk ability.
Hah, they nerfed the rift.
Not once has anyone stopped it when I get incapped by the monk.
It does lol.
People, why are you entertaning this thread?
Mirror versus Mirror is only treat to discs…
Anyone else is cannon meat and source of cheap ratting… Now or there you can teach those discs priest humility by killing them as C-Tier healer, but you cannot keep consistency in that. Because killing priest as other healer feels like killing divine angel with world destroyer sword with kitchen spoon in his eye or small brain.
Feeling is priceless, but consinsency cannot be maintained. Because when you win you know you are like x4 better than him if game is balanced. And evrything what those priest achieved while game is in current state is illusion, false feeling of playing well, and cheap dopamine shot. If WoW is serious E-Sport game they will probably be stoped from queing and strip of rewards until issue is resolved.
Yeah, no.
I beat disc priests consistently as holy. Vast majority of them(up to 2300 mmr so far) have no clue how to play vs another priest. They’ll trinket a fear and then lose to getting rooted or they trinket the chastise and get feared, they’ll fear into a sw:d, they’ll fear into a fade. They’ll fear when I’m in spirit(Yes, this happened). I had one that MC’d me 3 times and then I just ran up to him to fear him and he just used fear, like bro? You just MC’d me 3 times, why are you trying to fear.
They never fade or sw:d fears themselves. They don’t sw:d or fade CC at all.
I think you dont understand me…
When there is priest vs. priest = fair matchup, legit battle, better win
Where priest is against other healer = unfair battle, pure out performace, you can tie monkey with rope on chair, and let him play priest, it woud win most of games. No matter how priest is bad if he play versus other non priest healer it doesant matter much, he is so bloated with power that playing bad is tolerated. Because even below average skilled priest is in much better postion than unicum of C-Tier spec healer.
Also known as Mistweaver, the only spec to have consistently remained C-tier for 10 years, save for maybe one patch here and there where the damage is slightly overtuned and they get nerfed immediately.
Maybe not 10 years. Because it was good in BFA but 3rd expansion in a row.
BFA is the expansion that did the most damage to Mistweaver.
You know how Mistweaver’s main weakness is that it relies too much on hardcasting and that’s why we get shut down easily?
Well, thank BFA for adding a GCD to Soothing Mist. Before BFA, every abilitt was nearly instant through Soothing Mist. That’s not the case anymore precisely because of BFA.
BFA and Legion did the most damage to pretty much all classes/specs in the history of WoW.
A lot of specs turned into generator/spender. Elemental & enhancement shaman was fun as hell to play in MoP & WoD, then they added maelstrom and it just instantly put me off, if I wanted to play generate/spender type of gameplay, I’d play a warrior or rogue, not DPS shaman.
I agree entirely. Legion made the game significatly worse. And Midnight is shaping up to be Legion 2.0.
I think main problem back than was high aviability of coccon…
Game pace was little slower back than than it was today, and it was pretty hard to catch monk without coccon, by my opinion that was issue back in time, it was just lame that each time you want to setup something he had coccon, it really felt like cheap counter for anything back than.
