🌚 How are shadow priests for pvp

Well played, sir.

Rogues own shadow priests

Depends on how they play, and if they got the opener or not. Cloak isn’t a thing. Hell since fear is so strong in classic, depending on the location they can just scream/MC you off a cliff.

Not in vanilla, they didn’t. Rogues, Rets and Ferals were free HKs to me.

The general public aren’t walking around with restorative potions. As good as devouring plague is… you should be saving it for a non-cleansing target. That being said you can wait to use it during a fear or a silence.

Or the jungle remedy from stv which are easy to farm.

Most people don’t walk around with those at level 60. And even if they did… Why waste your potion global CD on taking off 1 DoT? If you’re going to use consumables why not use a Major health or Shadow protection potion?

Meh that’s why you just roll a dwarf tbh. Never get blinded or DP’d ever again regardless of your class. And let that SPriest be a free HK

Fun

Enjoy.

To recap: if you roll undead, you’ll actually only have one racial, which is Devouring Plague, it will be dispelled every time you use it, then you’ll run out of mana and die, without exception. You are a free HK because the Devouring Plague skill is listed in your spellbook.

But if roll troll, you will come ahead in every encounter.

And dwarfs of any class always win against priests. Unless… They’re troll priests.

So there you have it, the wisdom of the classic wow arena pros.

Yeah to recap (if you weren’t reading anything) Undead get TWO racials. DP with is extremely useful in important fights but less so in a ranked BG where you have dispells.

Berserking sucks and WOTF will always be better.

Most shadow priests players are going to pick the class after reading all these posts about how awesome they are in PvP. Most of these people won’t be able to manage their mana to save their lives. In short, most Shadow Priests players are going to be terrible just as Hunters were back in the day.

Shush! Don’t you understand?! If they try and fail as Shadow, maybe they’ll stick to the class at least and try healing! This is a boon!

SPRIESTS ARE UNSTOPPABLE GODS IN PVP!!! Roll one and get it to 60!

ok here’s the real answer. if you enjoy 1 on 1s as Horde, go Undead…by a mile. however, if you like doing premades, Troll by a mile. Zerker plus mana burn and a spamable 20% low mana cost reduced effectiveness that lasts 2 minutes. Troll may not be as cool looking but your group will love you. If you’re going Ally, Dwarf…end of story.

Undead priest wouldn’t need to farm hydrocane and can live underwater.

No DP isn’t going to make that spriest a free HK haha

No DP and him ooming himself using it will be

That and the orbs proc Blackout

Tell yourself shadow priests won’t nuke someone down if you want.

Maybe in a standstill boss fight. Even then its marginal. It only become noticeable if yoj had two elite players playing each race for shadow priest. And even those stats are negligible.
