Class tuning on September 24th. Unsure how i feel about this since were rated horrible in raids. I myself am parsing 80-90% in fights as shadow. I think shadow definitely needs more to be competitive, but 4% is wild.
Priest
Shadow
All damage increased by 4%.
Can’t forget the 6% we JUST received. I’m parsing well, but if you look on a competitive scene such as high end M+/M raids. We come nowhere near where other classes are. I really wish they would just do some proper tuning instead of flat aura buffs.
Here’s my suggestion, give our VT/SWP a flat 40% buff. Buff DP by 15%. DP is already a large margin of our damage, but it’s our spender so it should be higher over anything else IMHO. Our dots are abysmal and literally just there for mastery, which might as well be reworked if kept in the state they are. 40% buff to both dots will bring it from 10-15% of our total damage to more like 14-21%. While not making them feel so terrible.
I’ll take a 4% buff but they really just need to make significant changes to the class itself for it even feel remotely viable.
My thoughts on this is these blanket upgrades aren’t so much to fix a DPS issue (though it does appear low in cumulative logs), but to push a little patience as they finish a rework for 11.1
That’s definitely the cope.
you do understand parsing is class based, you can parse a 99% spriest and be at the bottom of the charts…
When I say I’m parsing well. I primarily meant my damage is doing well compared to pugs. I understand it’s based on your class but assumed people would know exactly what I meant.
While I’d rather just get a full rework and simplification, if they’re gonna buff numbers it needs to be about 8%~ more on top of the 6 and 4% they’ve given. And that would put us in the middle of the pack as far as dps goes. Solid C tier.
Personally I’d rather have a rework and be at the bottom and feel better playing than be at the top and it feel like I’m pulling my teeth out every button.
Been gearing up my warlock this week to give me something else because Shadow feels so bad to play, no matter which talent build I take.
