Is shadow being turned into a support spec?

Blizzard is in the process of undertuning shadow dps in exchange for its excellent utility in m+ dungeons.

Is Blizzard intentionally turning shadow into a support spec, or can’t they just see what they are doing?

They cant see what theyre doing

Making disc priest the new meta, will make shadows utility redundent as another role will already now bring it.

Nerfing shadows damage ontop seems nothing more then a panic button to the absolute hatred this new metas recieved from the playerbase.

You cant turn a specc which shares its utility with healer options into a support. Because mow shadow just aint getting invited, unless for some reason ur premade healer friend dont wanna play disc.

I hate that blizzard keeps pi as it is because “class fantasy” It causes problems and then they treat the symptoms instead of the disease.

S priest will likely be mid in terms of damage after this, the reason why it will still be meta is because mass dispell and pi, anyone denying this is just clueless.

S priest could even be below average in terms of damage, and as long as they provide those pieces of utility they will still be invited.

I strongly believe that Blizzard just dosen’t know what to nerf about that comp, even tho it’s super obvious.

For sp, they obv need to nerf utility it could be double cd vampiric + extra Mass dispell timer so it couldnt handle every single one all the time.
For hpal they keep nerfing hps… even tho that’s not the problem… the problem is their passive dr in glimmer + holy shock and a profile that fits the dungeon (many small strong cd - divine toll, daybreak being 1 min)

For fire they need to scale Down aoe ignite so they dont benefit that much from extra haste on aoe

And evoker is another story

to be wise you must sometimes be blind to see the blind spot.

They should just reduce / remove the cast times on halo DA and VF and make Halo and mind games worth playing since they are kind of under tuned like our ending talents.

they have eyes? do they even see the 3 reworks are a dumpsters utter trash.

Support yet gets nerfed not evoker though.

this is what i feel in dragonflight a pi bot # remove pi.

Priest has always been a kind of support class. We mostly heal and can do dps. We are not a Druid that can do every roll in a raid. Healers are support. We help others. If we do our job, everyone else’s is easier. If the raid needs a dps we can step in.

There is no reason not to take a class for raiding or mythic plus. The issues in this game is players follow others and don’t know that there are other builds that work as well. That two specs 400hps/dps appart are basically the same.

Meta, meta, meta. Thats all some people know, its low skill. The worst bit is they are experts that no one else can impeach. So meta, meta, meta. What makes you meta? Being able to play correctly. Even crappy builds can complete all the raids, do mythic plus at high levels and have lots of fun.

You all really need to chill out. How well you personally PLAY is the biggest factor. Not what you know, whither your class is currently meta or not.
