Just nurf PI so it’s self castable and either remove mass dispel or give shadow a 3min cd on it so we can actually do damage in raid again. We were middle of the pack and have been nurfed 3 times obliterating our dps because we have to much utility in M+. Stop balancing your game around one method of endgame people enjoy playing other parts as well

Shadow’s still doing more damage than it was prior to the ST buff we got when they nerfed psychic link a month ago. I get people disliking the current raid performance and I get it doesn’t feel good to be nerfed, but the most recent one was at most 2-3% single target and people act like the sky is falling.

We dropped 12 ranks in 1 week in raids on wlogs . Just because we have to much utility in M+. There’s more to this game than just M+
Went from being upper middle dps in raid to 5th from the bottom. And no one takes any of the bottom classes.

There’s fights on Mythic where Mass Dispel is pretty much a necessity.
This is true, but balance is fairly tight in raid except for the outliers. Shadow is one of the weakest specs in raid for raw numbers if we ignore PI’s dps being loaned out to the top specs, but it still is one of the best performing specs that isn’t an outlier if you account for that.
Does that feel good? No. Is it good design for every class in the game to have perfectly measurable performance except for one? No. Is it embarrassing that they made augmentation DPS measurable without doing the same for PI? You bet it is, especially when the game already does exactly that for Shadow Weaving on minion damage. Is PI worth the endless drama about it? I’d argue that the general air of negativity caused by only a small number of priests actually liking PI with everyone else being neutral or extremely frustrated with it justifies reworking or removing it.
But shadow’s performance is still fine. It shouldn’t have been nerfed, but it’s still fine. Performance is the least of shadow, and priest’s, problems.

With no AUG our damage sucks
My impression is everything centers around Holy Paladin now and how OP they remain in almost every way. Holy Paladins remain the strongest healer by a fair bit still–and their healing, damage AND utility all outpace most other healers. Hence ,is the solution to nerf Shadow?! I dunno, but Blizzard seems to love Holy Paladins for some unknown reason.
If they balanced Holy Paladins so that they werent miles ahead of other healers, it would be a win for not only priests, but other healers as well. There really was no need to make Shadow kind of bite.
