This is a function of Blizz’s screwed up leveling where you get appreciably weaker with every level.
Once you get a bit of gear at 70 you’ll crush world stuff.
they nerfed our mana due to we were good in pvp we have to suffer in PVE too we go oom after one Power word Shield and Mass dispell lol
Also nerfed VT and DP sustain healing.
Shadow this expack is
make a warrior they are more viable than shadow. If you play shadow this expack you will just join a decline train since they only take melee for the affix in to 20+ keys.
Blizzard haven’t hated shadow this much since Legion.
BFA shadow was the most fun, imo.
Now it’s just another reskin of every other DPS spec. Only with more jank and rotational annoyances.

I think shadow was more fun in wod. but i beg to differ blizzard haven’t made shadow fun to play yet. We still miss a legit dot spreader than wont miss all the time that we can use while moveing.

You need to use some punctuation 
You should have said,
“You sit in a big decline. Line of people taking melee because you added swirl mechanics that takes you out from doing even one channeling of mind sear”
Anyway this is true for every caster class, they have to stand still and cast and avoid all the AoE.
But, melee also suffer having to be in the fray all the time, and having to “run out” of AoE whereas, at the same time, the caster gets more uptime.
And unless you turn your graphics low, many times it is chaotic, you have no idea what to run out of with all the FX that’s going on.
In my limited experience (+11) melees regularly have to run out of AoE (and thus, out of range) and casters have to dodge AoE and interrupt their casts.
M+ DPS lists have all melees at the top, so it seems you DO have a point. Except Balance Druid.
All Blizzard need to do, in general, is adjust the numbers, to make ALL classes equal in DPS.
All Blizzard need to do, in general, is to get better devs to make classes fun to play. I agree Shadow Priest is clunky. I hate Shadow Crash would love to see it removed and replaced by a direct-to-target spell like Dark Void. No reticle placement, no slow projectile!
blizzard in a nutshell this whole expack season.
Only lacking in stable aoe interupts at range and blink / mobility feel as if wheelchair playing my holy atm.
feathers feels lack lusting when we have had blinks in shadowlands.
Too bad, Shadow is now top 3 range spec for m+ currently. I don’t think it’s ever been stronger.

I usually agree with you but now there is no denying Shadow is great, I think its time you just play another spec if you’re so unhappy… and again, not saying this with snark or whatever you want to call it but I think if something is causing you to bump old threads of bad design, designs that dont even exist anymore, and still go back to make new ones over and over again then maybe its time you take a step back?
You’re clearly unhappy and I get your frustration, that’s fine but its getting out of hand when there’s a lot of misinformation getting tossed because you simply cannot adapt to newer iterations of the spec.
And just fyi, i still dont enjoy or find this current design that fun either but you OP, you gotta chill a bit with all the thread bumps and repetitive posts, asking the same questions and even getting answers from the spriest discord mod too only to turn around and present the question/statement in a new “form” , its a little too much.

Never gonna happend dude. He will bump it with his army of 40 alts and toss some likes to his own posts. I dont even know how many times the 800posts topic (of which 700± is him arguing with himself) did change the title.

Compared to season 4 shadowlands we worked.
Priest just feels frustrating and anti fun this season.
No blinks no aoe unlimited dot spread on demand no aoe interrupts no combat ress or Hero.
I feel like shadow and priest community just got sat out by the dev team.
here’s hoping the ret paladin rework is ok then i’m ending this fiesta blizzard don’t care.
cya next expack.
Yeah it feels that way no aoe interrupts unless close to tank 45 sec interrupt gg blizz gg and why does mind sear cost resource’s-
in some sort of shadow runs . it looks doing fine but if u sayin its not going well it might a solution always there
They can make it feel less clunky compared to other classes shadow has way too much buttons that doesnt make sens kind of i dont get mind spike and halo.
Also dont get why halo and dark Ascension and void form has cast timers.
It’s joke that Shadow calls rework from M+ point of view.
Clunky? Go and try assa rouge or affliction warlock
Some people got no shame
SP is more of a gattling gun on steroids tbh. I think affli/assa is a match.
Crying over nonsense never stops on these treads, maybe it’s time to reroll?
or for blizzard to get a competent dev team.
Good quote but so much misery on it
