SP need nerfs now

Warlock have way more mobility and is not that fuggt by interrupt and dispell
Shadow have no real mobility, your argument is wrong

The damage output by shadow is very controllable bei the enemy team, you can see that in AWC on high level where the shadow just gets shut down

Not everyone plays handcrafted awc comps that are Made to counter X or Y

20 mil was on pets. Math still beats

I for one am shocked that the multi dotting spec did more damage than a Ret Paladin pressing W.

They only swap off rmx if someone can beat them first

its a shame there isnt a class that is ANTI MAGIC

oh wait there is … its called DEATH KNIGHT

oh wait Blizzard nerfed them too much

nevermind :slight_smile:

Should play soul harvester first of all.
I have done 1-1.2 mil bolts

Yes, I managed to get 1.1mil from Diabolist, but it seems to me that the damage is really very “strange”, several people write about the fact that it seems that the 40% extra bonus doesn’t seem to always be active

Demo is still weaker than aff, it is playable now though but wouldn’t call it op.

In fact, given the ramp like nature of the spec and all of it’s hardcasting i’d say it should be buffed one more time.

As a SP main I love to get the dmg buffs we did. I felt we where already strong but this tipped us over into the right direction. But to be fair, I see the strength and weakness the spec has, and removing our dmg, will just result in the spec being okay again.
I think its simular to UHDK. They where very strong because of the high dam… now that that got nerfed, they’re mediocre again.

Also just my opinion but a strong SP isn’t as annoying as when other specs are really strong just like DH.

SP is definitely up there. I still don’t think its as meta defining as sub or feral. Would probably put it on par with mm and frost mage atm, maybe ever abit better as its very easy to play atm with alot of on demand instant cc

Oh it is VERY annoying with its hp bar that is barely moving when you are hitting him, and then he disperse and go again, and then hp change and again, and then disperse off cd…

They gave Spriests the BFA Vitality Conduit that redistributes health as a passive on their Voidweaver tree.

A permanent “mini” spirit-link.

A 45 second CD (dispellable) silence, a 45 second CD (dispellable) stun, a 30 second CD (dispellable) fear.

‘A lot of on demand CC’.

:thinking:

that’s why u do it on the healer? and coordinate to cross cc with your teammate.

You can make very long cc chains with SP that can’t really be interrupted unless you also get cc’d. You can Silence, into stun, into fear, into incapacitate from anyone and its such a long cc chain on demand.

If you get feared by an sp as a healer idk mate you deserve it.

Shadow priest is perma slowed in every single match and has no burst mobility to reach healers with a fear.

Stun into silence is strong yes, but that combo relies on your partner doing a setup on the kill target or just unhealable dmg, unless you manage to fish a precog.

Yes, shadow priest is tanky.
Yes, they have a really strong cc combo for the healer.

However they are also the easiest caster in the game to shut down. If you dispel vampiric touch on CD and interrupt/micro cc/line all vampiric touch casts, they can’t deal threathening dmg to you.

Doesn’t matter how tanky SP is if it can’t deal damage. Sp however generally does better into wizards and paladins and since most of the top ladder is casters their strength there is more pronounced, while ut is the same cbt elsewhere.

Ah, so my long CD ‘lot of on demand CC’ is restricted to being used on one specific player and requires co-ordination to be effective? This hardly screams ‘on demand’. SP CC is just about as ‘on demand’ as your Incap and Leg Sweep.

Which happens more often than it doesn’t. Again, I don’t think ‘a lot of on demand CC’ is a very appropriate or accurate statement.

Inserting ‘into incapacitate from anyone’ to make it look better than it is. Disingenuousness at its prime :rofl:

Idk, you play priest and you are complaining about it when its the most meta spec in shuffle atm, and its top 3 spec in 3s. In europe its abit less popular than in NA atm in 3s because of more locks and mages queing here. Still SP is top spec atm, don’t know what u need in order to not complain about it.

It’s true that priests don’t have no cd cc like rogue, druid or mage. But all the rest of the specs also don’t have that. Play a rogue or a mage if u want to spam cheap shots or poly. SP right now shines on different levels, and its instant use ccs is one of them.

Where did I ‘complain about it’? Can you point that out? Where have I complained about anything about SP?

I responded to your statement that it has ‘a lot of on demand cc’. It doesn’t.

And don’t try to deflect and say I’m complaining about SP. It should have been nerfed before it was even buffed anyway, so I’m the LAST person here you can try the whole ‘you’re complaining about an OP spec’ with.
