thought it was good since beta, Since day 1.
shredding Meters ofcourse is awesome. but its nothing to do with design, Design and Meta arent the samer thing…
u can have terrible design, which does Loads of DPS. and vice versa. Shadow priest in SL S4 was shredding meters. however it wasnt fun.
this is what i think of shadow crash and people saying this is good.
I mean i like that shadow crash puts dots on targets, dotting up for each aoe pull was just not good.
you had searing nightmare that always hit 100% and you could macro it in to one button for the mind sear spam. Then living flame that hit like a truck kun on your back which was interesting you could stack it to sometimes 2min. Living shadow was my top damage ability in both St and aoe.
now its just frustrating you still need to do the other 12 + adds dotting then reapply the dots running out for the shadow crash until you can mind sear.
You didn’t even have to play the disappoint talent shadow crash in SL and now they are forcing it down your face like you want to play it which you really don’t i just want stable damage not a wand rng shot that has a 50-50 chance missing.
Just get rid of it
No. You don’t. If you aren’t able to maintain your dots with only mental decay + sear in AoE you are doing something terribly wrong.
yes you do need to apply the dots on the other adds if tanks pulls 40 adds dotting 8 adds wont help you.
this shadow version sucks if you miss shadow crash you are done
Or I could just… idk, dot the 3 big lashers as the tank runs back to us, throw shadow crash, voidform, PI, sear once for my 4piece proc, void torrent, and spam sear whilst bolting on cd.
And do 500k dps whilst mostly prioritising the big mobs that actually need to die.
lol lies 500k yeah right in my pants lies.
this version ducks and so does the dev team.
shadow crash need to get removed mind sear reverted. And them adding something new as an aoe spender that is more interesting and maybe applies VTs instead of band aiding Void form legion wannabe reworks that feels frustration after frustrations.
All they did was to add Mind Spike and call it a fix. Then band aid it with PL
Then they made all shadow priest go Goblins becouse of no doors of shadow blink our mobility was better with Night fae traits SL was fun.
its 30 mobs. If an SP can break 350k on 7 then they can absolutely break 500 on more than four times that. VT 3-4 (Maybe the skitters if you’re quick) things, throw crash, pop cds, dunk torrent, spam sear.
So what part of this don’t you believe. Like… I’m really struggling with this. Do you never do 350k on all cds pulls as a shadow priest? Like regular ones, not the 30+ mob pull at the start of AA.
Like first pull of NO, First pull of HoV with the dragon and the 2 packs, first pull of AV with the 3 crystals and 6 flowers. Those sorts of things.
their playstyle just is bad 
compared to SL the frustration of blizzard just adding more buttons rather than to improve on the class they just slam fix it with a wut
thinking of going paladin ret they are getting a better rework than this having to wait 30 sec to be viable.
Its just a legion rework with stress form, its boring.
its just the playstyle ducks and no improvements in 10.7 is blizzard sleeping.
They should just add a void form specc talent and make shadow in to two dps speccs one that wanna play mindbender pet instant dmg with cascade and one that want to play void form with spawning pets.
It feels like they don’t care.
That… that isn’t an answer to the question I asked.
But searing nightmare only applied shadow word pain. I also did not like the gameplay of searing nightmare a lot, i would much rather have something like malefic rupture, than nightmare.
What i would like to see is shadow crash apply dots on all targets, have it’s cd reduced by haste.
Fix the bugs and certain interactions, like screams of the void and idol of c’thun.
And add back double shadowy apparition proc on crit.
Your are not gonna look up anyway because it seems you are not able to learn or discuss but this comment shows, you are nowhere playing right. If you dont believe watch every academy video from:

They do 500k. Heck, its even possible to do so in the first nohkud pull with 8 mobs. 500k is a really big number, but its nowhere a lie.
500k peak on 7-8 mobs typically requires a DH or mage buff but yeah, doable. Been running a lot of moonkin rogue recently so on HoV dragon pull I do like 450 by the end as long as nobody insta clears my thundering.
I tried shadow in SL, and hated it, but now I am in love. I feel the gameplay is pretty damn good, and I like having the procs that I need for movement, cause there are a lot to move from in m+ atm.
Pressing mind sear and just empty your bar feels great, I did not like the clunkyness of having something else within that channel.
They could just make shadow crash work like shadowfury, since the travel time is pretty annoying indeed.
The only thing I found annoying, is not the travel time but some obstacle in the way like those pillars on council in raid. My biggest wish would be to be able to place it at the feet of the mobs via macro or something.
Mages got it waaay worse with their blizzard and frozen orb. So glad the only “handicap” we got is a bit of travel time which can easily be predicted in most situations.
What? How did you even get to that score with posts like this?
Its not that complicated …type shadow priest on youtube…f…theres a guide where on the background AA is played out by the author…hes doing over 700k on that tree…
