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
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 âstrangeâ, several people write about the fact that it seems that the 40% extra bonus doesnât seem to always be active
Demo is still weaker than aff, it is playable now though but wouldnât call it op.
In fact, given the ramp like nature of the spec and all of itâs hardcasting iâd 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, theyâre mediocre again.
Also just my opinion but a strong SP isnât as annoying as when other specs are really strong just like DH.
SP is definitely up there. I still donât 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 cdâŚ
They gave Spriests the BFA Vitality Conduit that redistributes health as a passive on their Voidweaver tree.
A permanent âminiâ spirit-link.

A 45 second CD (dispellable) silence, a 45 second CD (dispellable) stun, a 30 second CD (dispellable) fear.
âA lot of on demand CCâ.

thatâs 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 canât really be interrupted unless you also get ccâd. 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 canât deal threathening dmg to you.
Doesnât matter how tanky SP is if it canât 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 âlot of on demand CCâ is restricted to being used on one specific player and requires co-ordination to be effective? This hardly screams âon demandâ. SP CC is just about as âon demandâ as your Incap and Leg Sweep.
Which happens more often than it doesnât. Again, I donât think âa lot of on demand CCâ is a very appropriate or accurate statement.
Inserting âinto incapacitate from anyoneâ to make it look better than it is. Disingenuousness at its prime
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, donât know what u need in order to not complain about it.
Itâs true that priests donât have no cd cc like rogue, druid or mage. But all the rest of the specs also donât 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 âcomplain about itâ? Can you point that out? Where have I complained about anything about SP?
I responded to your statement that it has âa lot of on demand ccâ. It doesnât.
And donât try to deflect and say Iâm complaining about SP. It should have been nerfed before it was even buffed anyway, so Iâm the LAST person here you can try the whole âyouâre complaining about an OP specâ with.
