Then explain to me why priests are always at top when shadow and teams play much better the more shadow priests there are in a team? Why do I badly want shadow priests in my team then?
First of all, I donât have the proof from you that they are always on top. I highly doubt that. But they definitely got a higher chance to get the killing blow with Shadow Word: Death.
Casters overall perform better currently in group fights. That doesnât only count for the Shadow Priest. E.g. I prefer to play with a Boomkin, Warlock, Ele Shaman, and Disc Priest. Itâs common knowledge that melees scale better in later phases with gear.
Stacking one class was never the best strategy. I recommend finding out what group composition makes your class shine.
Put 4 mages in your group and you would also perform better than an additional 4 warriors. Some classes benefit from support a lot more than others.
They are. Except for rogues, and warriors, all classes have self-healing or a really good crowd control.
Since in BG or Blood Moon, there is no 1v1, donât try to mention 1v1!
In non-1v1 situations, rogue stands there in the middle of the fight getting dotted, charged, and stunned,⊠while ranged classes spamming their bazookas and healing themselves from a safe distance.
I stunlock enemy healer, guess what happens? Their other ranged surrounding him just nuke me down in 2 sec then continued fighting with our ranged, meanwhile their healer heals them fully using 150 mana (priest) out of 2800+ mana pool.
When I def our flag, 5 people charge in, a hunter with flare, a human (racial) warrior, druid in travel form snatching the flag (shapeshift cannot be sapped) so I sap someone else, and he trinkets. Then what? I get killed.
So I cannot defend the flag, and I cannot fight in a group (if I do manage to kill someone, I get killed as well).
Even if we win a team fight, I have at least 1 DoT on me with 20+ sec duration that I cannot reenter stealth, cannot dispel, and canât do anything except play like a warrior just with a lot less armor.
If our BG group does not have a healer, I have to get back, sit down, and eat. Other classes just pop a 2 sec heal and go on.
Bangages? Gets canceled by damage, another thing I need to wait with if I have DoT on me.
What can I do? PvE? Rogue is far from the best DPS class on top of that, does not bring any buffs, etc. into the raid.
So except for 1v1 duels, what is rogue good in? Staying in stealth and leeching honor/coins?
CC instant cast spells, charges, stuns,⊠you can cc one person, but what about the other 3-5 that charge on you while CCing that one person?
What about the next fight where you have a 5-minute CD on tea, vanish, blind and a 10 min cooldown on preparation?
Hunter might not have self-heal, but can kite 4 people with traps that help the team to fight/help his ranged team with putting flare down to prevent rogues from jumping on them, has a pet that deals solid damage, pet kill command, can FD to remove combo points, has solid parry and dodge chance against melee people, has mail armor for more durability, and can mark feral and rogues from a high distance, can attack ranged people or people running away but also can close combat. Can dismount mounted running targets with daze. Can swap to increased move speed if no enemy around to chase someone and then swap back to another aspectâŠ
He is an extremely helpful class to have in BG or PvE! His lack of heal is compensated!
This tells me you are beyond bad at the game 
Your logic is flawed little one.
If I (as a rogue main) have no issue fighting Shadowpriest in 1v1 while u and some other pve chads cry over it⊠it definitely shows the opposite 
But thanks for trying
Shadow priests are as overpowered as early P1 hunters and prenerf Starsurge druids, they are completely broken and any shadow priest who isnât utterly dominating right now is just a bad player.
Not going to link my own gameplay but hereâs a random video for people unfamiliar with how SPs work:
WHEN They FIGHT a Shadow Priest 3 VS 1⊠| SoD PvP Classic WoW
Yes, he can survive and kill 3v1s vs rogues with ease. If you canât, thatâs a you problem.
Disperse needs a 5 min cd or a reduction in effect or both. VP probably needs toning down too.

Nobody cares about the sub 0.0001% of PvP, it is literally the most tryhard ever.
Hemo rogues still ruined most classes aslong as they existent.

m8 shadow pÂŽs does lower damage than protection tanks lol have you ever come across that kills you in 3 seconds, what are you realy talking about.
Your replying to trolls, please stop
i canât take it seriously when hunters complain.
i was 100-0âd earlier today by a single chimera shot while in shadowform and powerword shield active.
and thats just the pvp side of itâŠ
dude, these 1 button dents are literally #1 dps by a large margin and they are here crying about being weak?
since the buff to sniper training Nelf racial (shadowmeld) has arguably become the best racial in the game overnight⊠forget about being immune to targeting on top of being invisible (at least until someone literally walks up to your face to reveal you and likely end up in a trap)⊠these guys are sitting there, on top of a roof, on top of their frost + immo traps (with a reserve of each ready to go once triggered) pumping out instant aimed shots with giga crit chance attached just for good measure⊠you sure you donât need a pala bubble on top of this?
because you might as well go full clown if this the kind of circus weâre going to be running.
utter bs tbh.
Dude you are really good typing things , but how can you preach when you are 7/8 St 1 month in bro? Tell me ! Go learn how to play and just stop this crusade. A paladin losing with reck bomb vs A rogue is A disgrace.
Go check some videos , with full cds , paladins have pretty few matchups. Even Worse in Sod. Stop its getting embarrasing dude!
5 stacks reck into hoj and 8/10 rogues are dead. How hard is it ?
This is not ERA. You have r5 insignia to trinket hoj and will have LAP next phase. It is very hard to survive till next hoj when FM hoj CDR is not in the game and you get hit by 2k+ envenoms.
when rogues use âjust trinketâ as an argument against their BS design its a poor argument⊠you doing it as a paladin isnât any different.
you want me to pour my gold into the drain just so i can deal with your class? you actually seriously telling me that the intended way to counter you is to use a 7g (soon to be much more expensive) consumable which shares cooldown with all other potions, EVERY SINGLE TIME i have to deal with a paladin?
How about this: your stupid bubble now requires a 10g reagent every cast. lets see how you like having a god damn bill attached to your ability to pvp.
oh, and of course said reagent only stacks to a maximum of 5, just like the potions you seem to think should be filling my bags at any and all times just in case i come upon a bs class like yours on my journeys.
paladin is THE ONLY class in the game which comes with an actual i-win button.
mass dispel canât make its way here fast enough.
the only i-win button against classes with bad mobility.
Rogues, Mages, Druids and Shamans can just walk away from it and reengage later, but hey horde tends to complain about an inferior class compared to shaman.
This whole thread about how incompetent and ultra bad at pvp players crying here about class balancing is literally the reason why Blizzard should never respond to casual players feedback.
The people who are crying here about 2 full duration dots total damage are just mind blowing to me and these are the ones who keeps crying about âST still being hardâ.
End of story.
