I want ot bring one of my alts through zaralek, but I can’t decide which to bring first my elemental shaman or my shadow priest. I know how shaman are to play but since the shadow priest rework I thought I’d ask for some feedback on it.
So how’s it playing?.
Personally, I love it. I have never been able to gel with a shadow priest before. I levelled one up whilst waiting for the patch and was worried about the changes but I think they’re really good.
No idea but just the new tier set makes me want to play one 
It lacks things to do while moving / being forced to move by mechanics, a lot. Damage is pretty ok if you can stand still though.
Pretty much as above.
Mobility is now a larger issue for shadow.
Performs well when it can stay still.
The rework smoothed out the rotation, but added mobility issues to the class where large amounts of movement will considerably disrupt ur dps.
I dont like the rework it feels some kinda strange dunno, i also dont know what to press sometimes.
well none of the casters have good mobility with their rotation right now so it’s a general problem i hope they’ll change it.
I was really liking SP in 10.0. The best it’s been for years. But now it’s all wrong and we really need Mind Seer back.
In what? Raids? BGS? Arenas? M+? Duels? World content? Be a bit more specific please?
You mean casters. Casters feel very clunky at the moment.
They removed it?!!
I’ll put it this way, I can’t find it except as a passive on one particular talent. I could have missed it but …
Yeah they removed it, the void tendril will do it though. Instead all your direct damage now slaps everyone else with your dots on. So just yeet that thing that spreads dots (talented with SWP) and go ham at one target, they all fall down. Devouring Plague also turns your mind flay into either a stronger ST or AoE depending. I really quite like it. Trying to get 100 insanity to mind sear was a bit annoying.
the pain with shadow was always to set up all the available targets with all the dots.
It definitely helps if one only needs to do that to the main target and radiate that damage to the rest
They definitely removed it, but improved Psychic Link to a level where it replaces Mind Sear. I don’t play Priest often anymore, and Shadow even less, but I think the change is a step into the right direction. Having Mind Sear as an AoE spender that you needed a full Insanity bar for felt very clunky to use. Now with Psychic Link doing the heavy lifting in AoE the rotation feels a lot smoother than before. Maybe it’s just me though, my Priest is only an alt; and even then she’s healer first, DPS only on rare occasions. I’m sure Shadow Priest mains will have better insight on the matter. I do like the changes to streamline the abilities though.
She’s my main but I’m by no means an expert player.
Because I try to avoid spoilers I had no idea our talents were being completely re-written so my first venture into 10.1 was disastrous. I jumped off the ledge to the grassy bit and was assaulted by a truckload of low level mobs which killed me several times as I was desperately looking for my mind sear icon which wasn’t there. It would’ve killed most of them and dots would get rid of the rest. When I finally managed to res out of their reach I discovered my problem - I had almost no talents.
I shall rebuild myself - thanks for all the tips.
When Brewmaster got a bit of a rework in 10.0.7 (or 10.0.5?) all the talents had been reset, and something similar happened to me. In my stupid “offspec tank” brain I didn’t realise and jumped straight into the middle of a mob group in an elite world quest. Without a single talent point spent. That was a humbling experience to put it politely 
Why did they rework shadow at all? It was king at the end of SL and did not change a lot for DF either. There are classes that are in dire need of rework on pretty much all 3 specs like mage and they don’t do anything to them.
One of the best cases of being “caught with pants down”
Playing my SP atm and it feels pretty great.
