You guys can give up, the devs refuse to fix this class. I am not happy with shadow in 9.2!
They could remove our passive and make it in to a crit/vers based passive that prox with devouring plague and Casacade
And make searing nightmare in to mind sear instead, am tired of pushing that bottom it freeze the charr up, also they could bring back Casacade as an aoe instead of void form with a haste scaleing down CD of 1.25min down to 1,20min. Along with Twist of Fate being a passive instead of a talent that makes damage of shadow and healing 10% people below 25% health proc.
and make PI only priest viable towards the priest which could be casted at 100 recouses and give priest a combat ress.
And make PI glyph that makes Pi alter in to shadowy wings instead of glowing.
spectral guise was such a beautiful ability, feather â Guise â fear plays <3

They listened to feedback and got rid of spamable Void Form right before Shadowlands was released. They do listen.
Now we spam searing nightmare instead of just laying a passive thing on the floor that does 20% of our damage like hunters wild spirits.
Shadow needs a rework both in mastery and remove void form completely
I donât know about that, I only PvP and we donât use Searing Nightmare there 
ye they listened. they turned shadow into another stupid 2min single target burst bot with a clunky as hell aoe rotation

To be fair, minus the odd AoE rotation, current Shadow is pretty much exactly what people were asking for in late BFA and the Shadowlands alpha/beta. Even down to the details, like turning Void Form into a DPS cooldown. So yeah, this is one of the few times Blizzard really did listen to complaints and acted on them.
I guess the old addage of âbe careful what you wish forâ still holds true.

B for boring specc of the expansion atlest. hope blizzard reworks shadow away from void form.
Tbh the spec is amazing as it is, bar maybe a few minor tweaks to single target. But our aoe does really need a major rework
Remove void form & searing nightmare. Buff mind sear and give back cascade, Uh done.
Shadow is bad in so many ways. Void eruption should passively dot all targets or make our dots aoe during this time. Shadowy apparitions should proc from dots crits like they used before.
In legion and bfa we doted trashes once and we could forget about it. Now we have to spam dots every 10 seconds. Its not porblem if you fight 3 enemies, but in dungeons its a disaster. Seting up burst take way too long time.
I really liked legion / bfa shadow much more. It was a good spec with stable dps output. You doted packs once - twice and you was good. Loved old shadowy apparitions, bonus crit after voidform and azerite beam. Bfa was peak spriest.

They need to go away from void form the ramp up doggo mechanic it has benefit nothing towards the fast gameplay in m+ it just makes it hectic they could give back PI did 20% more damage as well as haste and give us cascade back.
Searing nightmare needs to go away as well nobody likes it.
Shadow feels less shadow and more of a stand still and you are not allowed to have any damage or any aoe or any fun. With this tier bonus shows how less you care about our specailization to begin with you could have made so our mind bender stayed up as a pet instead of going away each 30 sec we already asked to have a pet as shadow itâs been a thing we have asked for since wrath of the lich king.
For the next expansion 10.0 if mind bender stays up as a hunter/warlock pet and we can customization it with bunch of glyphs in to shadow stuff. You could just add so our passive does damage as our legendary does now, it would fix the lousy problem i have with the specc and also it make searing nightmare a ability we learn passive while doing mind sear this small changes would make shadow priest more enjoyable to play. Then we would do mind sear to spread shadowword pain then Mind blasting while our pet jumps at targets whilst we throw out shadow touches.
I have no room in this specc for void form this specc should go away from that ability and give us pet management instead.
PI just for the healers sounds good to me and makes sense, it does feel a little âclunkyâ and you are trying to fit things in and waiting for skills to be useable is too longâŚspreading the non-instant dot around for eg is a yawnfest for sure and theres often not enough trash being pulled to make our aoe compete.
It feels like a good spec thats just lacking/missing what it needs to workâŚbit late in the day to bother changing it much though perhaps they can look at it and make it that tad better for 10.0 /shrug

Iâm really sorry OP but Chris Kaleiki has left Blizzard already. He did the shadow priest rework and the MW monk class design back in the day. Guess what specs are utter sh*te since he leftâŚ
Yet another reason that they should just do a hard/soft reset for the class
What Iâve meant is that there is nobody who has a bright clue about the class itself. Just look at holyâŚ
