Based on what? your bias thinking shadow is bad in 1v1 even tho its like one of the most solid speccs to 1v1 with? Already in og classic UD shadowpriest was one if the best 1v1 classes next to rogues.
The bigger question is why you are so biased towards shadow that you just ignore the obvious strength of the specc
Iām far from biased, quite the opposite actually. I play Rogue, Warrior, shaman and Spriest in pvp. And while Rogue is the absolute strongest in every 1v1 matchup, i also win with Warrior and Enhance against Shadowpriest.
Spriest is definitely strong, but far from OP.
You are right Spriest was an absolute menace in vanilla pvp (up until AQ40 when melee got ridiculous due to itemization).
But thatās not the case anymore in SoD. The pvp meta is way too bursty for any DoT class to prevail. Most priest survival utility gets neglected if the fights are over in a matter of seconds most of the times. Shield absorbs less than a basic attack by my Warrior.
So Shadowpriest is good, but far behind other classes due to the meta being too bursty for itās strengths to actually matter
You can kill 40lvl full bis warrior with 35 priest without any problems, what are u talking about⦠XD Your comments are the most hilarious thing in this forum by miles.
Sure, just have dots fall off once out of combat and itās all fine.
Or give us lvl 40 food that restores triple the amount of current max lvl food because the latter isnāt helpful against those ridiculously busted dots.
Glad we agree on one thing at least.
My other suggestion is to avoid SPs being gutted in pve. Let be real, the biggest issue isnāt the dps itself (although VP ticks are doing the same dmg as mortal strike or chimaera shot), itās the total damage and inability of some classes to survive 2 instant cast dots when a fight is over.
Glad that you are entertained b facts
But you seem to be doing something very wrong apparently⦠my fury Warrior isnāt even BiS and i eat Shadowpriests no chance.
Like the person underneath u commented⦠u both seem to be living in classic vanilla.
Shield is eaten in one or two basic hits⦠my basic hits as fury crit 300-500 dmg and there is 0 issue with fury generation because shield is nonexistent.
Are u sure u are playing SoD? Have u pvped at all?
Nope, you have skill issue with your Spriest I guess, if u canāt press two buttons, go play something else. Or maybe you wait for buff i donāt know.
PS: go here https://youtu.be/-ocYa78JT5w again to fix your skill issues, thanks me later.
I do play something else. I main Warrior and Rogue, thatās why i know what Iām talking about.
Tell me where did bad Spriest touch you, that u seem to have sich issues?
You have 0 arguments, all empty talk. There is no situation where in the bursty meta i would die to a Shadowpriest before killing him⦠maybe the DoTs kill you 5 seconds after the priest has died. Priest has 0 mobility, no escape⦠fear is useless w trinket or Warrior life.
But yes, you seem to know nothing about SoD pvp meta⦠feels like trying to talk about business economics with a Toddler
Bro, in the video Danny beat 2 rouge and dies from 3rd, but the whole fight was against 3 rouges and beat 2 of them. So again, if you have some problems with your gameplay, and you have, go again watch some videos of other Spriest learn and go play this OP class itās easy. So again, skill issue.
It still is, proven by many big and good priest players like Hydra, Hoziza, Danny.
I play Shadowpriest myself, as i do Ele Shaman and MM Hunter.
Dispersion puts shadows dots strength aswell to what it is and gives alliance sp even better chances into undead players due to the possibility to delay and buy time.
Shadowpriest currently is one of the top pvp speccs in erms of 1v1 and even in groups.
This is more fitting for you to be honest.
good one, actually believed that for 0.5 seconds after reading it
If a shadowpriest gets 4 GCDās off before you kill him (Pain, void plague, h0mos and fiend), into a 6s dispersion and a SW:D as soon as that drops, you die pretty much every time. And if the priest manages to get a blackout proc or a fear off itās completely GG against a warrior.
Blizzard went waaaay too far when it comes to casters this phase. Everyone can see that.
Just reroll caster og unsub until P3. basically that. 3rd option would be to suck it up and prey for P3 being better.
