I think it is fair to say ppl are busted as hell and dispersion is so needed in this meta of 30 energy backstab and 4 gcd 1v1s
PLZ give dispersion and vp back
you’re free to use the dispersion rune 
nothing needs to change
You wont need VP if people are dying in 4 globals my friend 
run Dispersion and stop crying on the forums…one of the most broken classes lol. Hope you have a great day Dvious!

Anyone that suggests Shadow Priests are OP in Phase 4 PVP have Phase 3 PVP PTSD.
Blizzard buffing crit damage by 200% clearly means they’ve been under tuned during all of Phase 4. For whatever reason, Blizzard decided to nerf Shadow Priests at the end of Phase 3 before letting Phase 4 settle. (surprise, SWD does the same damage as a hunters auto shot, and VP does maybe 1/2 of someones life over 18 seconds. Meanwhile Paladins, Shamans, Hunters, and Rogues are killing people within four globals).
What’s hilarious is that the initial Dispersion nerf was due to VP being too strong during Phase 3, yet they are buffing its crit damage by 200% in Phase 5.
These are such knee jerk reactions. If Void plague is too weak, why aren’t we given our ONLY defensive cooldown back opposed to hyper inflating VP’s damage again (200% increased crit damage - yikes).
PS. the amount of fear immunity in SOD is a joke.
nothing but facts
No, that’s like asking if rogues can get 100% weapon damage mutilate back, or boomkins get their phase 1 starsurge back, or shamans have all their nerfs reverted. It was a pure pvp change because spriests were beyond braindead and broken in phase 2 and 3 PVP. Shadow priests barely ever have mana issues so it shouldn’t have any effect in pve, so there’s no reason for this to be revered.
They are just fixing the tooltip.
Despair rune have always increased crit damage of periodic effects from 50% to 100%, its just worded differently by dealing 200% of damage.
a spriest in pvp is basically a hybrid, otherwise I’d argue your using the class wrong, and in raids you usually only want to bring 1.
its whatever idk dots still chunk but ur probably still dead in melee unless ur ready with trinkets. only way i usually survive melee is trinketing the cc and using fear + cold embrace to regain distance. i just know im not killin a good paladin so i dont even try but ya u do need some trinkets and things to help. shields r stronk and tier 1 2 p helps as well esp if u got some regular spell power gear w it not shadow cus ur heals actually do something. still meh but idk its sod most pvp rn is av (which is just pve) and open world which ur gameplay is just dot someone from africa and prayge they die.
Spot on take. Should never have made that change before P4 had time to cook.
No way these brain dead devs admit a mistake and revert it though, sorry to tell ya.
You will never beat a Spriest on a lvl17 warrior. Post on the Hunter you rerolled to.
Again, phase 3 PTSD. Convenient that you admit it.
Having both VP and SWD up doesn’t kill anyone over its rot duration UNLESS it’s cracked out with TOEP and Inner Focus AND a combination of the enemy player not being geared. Similarly, SWD doesn’t do 50% of someone’s life anymore either, shocking but I’m sure you still think that too.
In addition to needing to run it’s entire duration, it has no dispel protection - neat.
Priests (the class with the lowest amount of mobility) asking for their only guaranteed defense spell is nothing similar to another class asking for their over tuned damage back. Yet running Dispersion feels just as clunky due to missing one of our few instant casts and having a kit that basically relies on DOTS.
Nerfing Spriests for level 60 because of level 50 game play was such a knee jerk reaction. No reason for Blizzard to not let the phase settle first.
Last time I checked, Paladins, Shamans, Rogues, and Hunters are killing other classes within a stun lock or four global cooldowns. Apparently dying within four seconds feels better than dying over 18 /shrug.
Interesting, I’ve never seen you speak out against pallies before for being “”“hybrids”“”
Dispersion should be made a book. Pretty clear no devs play Shadow…have you seen the T2 set bonuses kek.
