Or does shadowfury resist really comonly after they “fixed” the resist problems in tbc?
I get like over half of them that get resisted. mostly happening on warriors, druids and priests.
Its kinda annyoing playing destro in pvp arena where you are already a glasscannon.
Is there some weird calculation issue due to it beeing a stun and beeing shadow magic?
All the classes you mentioned have talents for stun resist ( 15 % ).
So, your observation is right, I guess.
hmm rdruid doesnt have a stun resist talent in resto + balance^^
but it kinda feels like its too much. maybe im wrong idk^^
I don’t know for sure, but I would guess that shadowfury is a binary spell which would cause shadow resistance to increase the chance of it being fully resisted. For priest and druids who get shadow resistance from buffs that may make it more noticable against those classes simply because they will resist it more often than others, but for druids at least I would not expect it to be enough to make the spell resist significantly more without also using shadow resistance gear. The priest buff would probably have a noticable effect on the amount of resists, especially combined with the talent.
The orc stun resist will also cause orc warriors specifically to have a pretty high resist chance combined with the stun resist talent.
so basically i should go sl lock 
nah, just a dumb specc. like arms warrior with mace
Well you don’t ‘have’ to do anything. I would gladly play with a destro lock. In my 1000 rated team (or is it lower now, havent checked).
yeah you dont have to, thats why i dont do it^^ But you crippleyourself cause noone wants to play with you and you get countered by everything^^
played against a 2.3k Mage/destro lock in 2s a few days ago ^^
Priests get a buff to shadow resist coupled with a +15% chance to resist stuns.
So no wonder you feel like it happen a lot vs priests compared to many other classes.
Thank God there is at least one honest Warlock 
this is actually that one destro warlock that plays it. Its also the highest destro you find in whole tbc classic in 2v2. Playing Destro + pompyro mage

Theres also some teams with frost destro ele/resto shamans, but its the only comb in 3s you can play as destro specc^^
well, sl sl is just that.
wotlk and cata forward comes to affliction having a higher skillcap.
Real locks either play full destro or full affliction^^ But tbc offers kinda braindead gameplay for many speccs.
such as enhacne, bm hunter, ret (put him with a wf totem and all hell broke lose).
Even rogue is kinda stupid, with basically just hemo spam and spending points on KS or sometimes Expose. But its tbc tho, so everyone knows it^^
Yeah 15% stun resist from talents, 5% base stun resistance, 5% from powerful earthstorm diamond and 15% from Hardiness if they are an Orc.
So it should be very common that you see stun resists just count yourself lucky you also have death coil and fear imagine being a Paladin where your only CC is a stun on a long CD. Fun times.
hehe fear against warriors hehe 
Its just that shadowfury is my 41 point into the tree and its basically “useless” 50% of the time^^ SO its quite annyoing you need to go through stun resist but also through spell resist^^
You could always get Succubus out and keep chaining Seduce and hitting him with Shadowbolt till you hit DR then Coil and burst with immolate, shadowfury, conflag and Shadowburn.
Obviously stun resists can be annoying but as Warlock you have a lot of options I played the glass cannon PvP Lock in Classic so I know what it’s like to get a resist that basically kills you but on the flip side when the RNG is in your favor you can blow someone up with a string on crits before they can react.
I imagine you are playing mainly battlegrounds as deep destro is not that good for arenas given the specs poor survivability.
i know how to play destro, i mained destro back in original tbc^^
But usualy you get trinket on the first seduction and then you get fkd by mace stuns 
lucky paladin has bubble, BoP, heals and plate armor. Those are your strengths. So its not like destro has everything and paladin has nothing^^
Warlock gets steamrolled by rogues and warriors. Succubus gives you some sort ob beeing able to get them with a destro chain, but with succubus out you gonna get a hard time against mages and sl locks as destro.^^
It suffers from a double pronged resist table.
Not only do all stunresist racials and talents ruin it but also shadow hit not only in terms of spellhit but also vs a target that has shadow resistance higher than your spellpen (undead, motw, shadow protection from priests).
It’ll “miss” alot either way. An enemy with a priest buff on them will resist it at least one in three times. Rip.
