Hello?!
Under what rock have you been for the past decade?? Shadow are rarely good. Laughable is a better word.
I fear its actually severe nerf for casters and healers the whole midnight for pvp so far and why I will be ditching my every class I have played so far for past few expansions.
Theres too many things that change that I dont wish to list them here but removal of addons and unable to see kicks in general is a nerf for every caster and healer and the spells they prune from some of my specs are major nerfs on their gameplay. And I will not be healing or playing caster anymore in there.
I will adapt by playing something else, blizz is notoriously bad at balancing classes or making class designs sensical in general so I will play what I think will be fun there, Iâm getting tired of constantly doing things harder than ppl who do something easier, I could also been playing retribution or dh this whole time in pvp in these seasons but I didnt. But Iâm getting too old and even the young folks mostly only play what is most overtuned and broken currently in pvp if you look the ladders in eu its just people fotm rolling every mode. Come midnight I wont be healing or playing any caster.

I saw they removed crusading strikes and crusade, also nerfed the Wake of Ashes wings. Why? Now it feels really slow. Also even though Templar Strike is way better that Cruasade Strike, its still no where near Crusading Strikes flow of combat, that extra ability you have to spam in order to get Holy power just really gimps the rotation flow.

Anyone who knows the ret rotation well knows not to over cap on holy power and to maximise how many final verdicts for single target or divine storm for cleave things like templar strikes are just noise when you can cast judgement and hammer of wrath instead yet they want to remove our abillity to do that also.
they could have easily left crusading strikes in because that is not even a button but has huge value being a automatic holy power generator ill even take crusader strike over templar slash that is how much i hate it.
I think they are removing it because the only way to track it is via WA or count AAs. But yes you are right, it doesnt need to betracked because if you know your rotation (and its a verry complicated rotation indeed) you dont overcap, like ever. Idk everyone is cheering the ret changes, but from what I saw its 1 step forward, 1 step sideways and 1 step sideways.
Could have just idk⌠Made a UI element themselves for it because the emergent gameplay it creates is fun and engaging whilst letting players largely focus on abilities that deal damage, instead of enable them to deal damage.

Idk the changes for most classes feel very weird, almost like they took âyou need to simplify some classesâ as âyou need to simplofy all classesâ and took out the butcher knife.
If your gold needs a safe place to stay, my pockets are always open.
The game will be perfect when every class plays like Ret or Havoc. 
More like ret, arms, fury, fdk, bm, mm, assa
2/10, you can do better
Which class/spec would be able to do any kind of content using just 3 abilities?
Looks really lame in Midnight.

Itâs honestly looking more and more like the devs were told by superiors to âmake the game super simple so we can get more kids with attention span issues into our gameâ.
Stupidity, lack commitment, 0 ideas and lazyness they have in team nothing usefull or good for game - sometimes i wonder if they run the game on purpose to the ground ?
there is no fresh and new ideas, the sets for midnight expansion have bonuses from DI expac ⌠and its outdated garbage ⌠recycled stinky and bad too ⌠what would u expect from them ? they only want you money for less and less
So you like 50 buttons that do nothing? I like 4-5 buttons that hit like a truck. What use is icy viens for frost mage if you have to keep it on cooldown anyway? Itâs just a extra button and buff to track in this mess of buffs. Idk about you, but when I just hit ICE LANCE, just 1 button, I get 7-8 buffs. Itâs insane. It slows servers down and nobody new or returning can make sense of it.
You say 3 buttons is boring but LOL is a much bigger, more popular and MUCCCCCCH higher skill game than wow will ever be. It has 3 or 4 buttons. Same with CS, 1 or 2 buttons, much more skill required than wowâs most âdifficultâ content.
What wow users rarely understand since they only play wow is that, tedious =/= difficulty. It is tedious to mythic raid in wow, not difficult. From start to finish the game is actively fighting you, from needing 19 other buffoons, needing addons, needing to show up every week at a set time, to needing to grind out gold for all kinds of buffs etc. It is all TEDIOUS. Wow has always been the king game for the jobless as a result. But itâs never been difficult. Just tedious to get into. So, more buttons =/= more difficult itâs just again, more tedious. With less buttons we can get more difficulty from player skill, especially with no addons playing the game for you.
Next they need to get rid of this boomer tab target system, itâs old, dumb, slow, clunky and not fun anymore. I cringe at wow players telling each other on yt that wow has the âbestâ and âsmoothâ combat lol, no. Itâs laggy as hell with 20-30 man in raids, tab target is as braindead as it was 20 years ago and your char is absolutely braindead as well, without a target it canât do anything lmao. I get it, wow is old, but tab target is not it anymore. Action combat was the next evolution, it is superior and requires significantly more skill.
But for action combat you need even less button due to mechanical difficulty being raised. I think thats also a reason they are removing fluff, at some point wow needs to get rid of tab target. Nobody young will enjoy it since everything is action combat now. Wow is realistically the only game today that has slow, low skill and boring tab target combat still.
At that point just make it a bl
That shares CD with BL. 
Just give priests BL and be over with this discussion.
That is correct. 100%.
When it comes to RShaman CDs, its not that bad because they also removed the CDs of other healers. As long as there is balance between them, itâs fine.
What they did to RShaman was removing almost every other modifier and ability other than Riptide, Healing Wave, and Chain Heal. That is where things got nasty.
As for our utility, they always make weird choices. They choose to keep Tremor Totem for example⌠but they have yet to do an encounter that has ANY fear mechanic at all. And I get why they dont do encounters like that. Because it would make RShamans instantly OP in that case. Which is a fair thing to do.
So why keep Tremor Totem then? Just remove it. And replace it with an under-used utility like Ancestral Protection totem. A under-utilized totem. Simply because Blizzard never had the balls to give shamas a BRez. Make it a choice node between BL and BRez. DONE.
Idk man at this point it feels like you should go play a different game that already has the things you want.
