I agree! I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels strongly about this. Seeing you bring it up has reminded me to finish writing the forum post with my entire Shado-Pan rework suggestion: Shado-Pan rename suggestion and talent improvements
Besides that, basically every other point you brought up is valid and really should be looked at. Shado-Pan may be tuned strong enough to be the pick in most situations, but that’s no reason to ignore such blatant design issues. Also, having the unenviable position as the creator of the Flurry Strikes tracker Weakaura, I can only pray that the base UI indicator will be added as soon as possible.
