Hunter and DH are simple, we get it. Some people need a simple class. But why do I, a priest that already has 36 keybinds need 4 more?
Unpruning is Blizzards way of not addressing the actual mechanical issues of classes like hpreist, sub rogue, and actually redesigning rather than just tacking on some junk we already had.
So very, very lazy.

How? How many macros are in there?

0 macros except that I replace levitate and leap of faith entirely with macro versions that are smarter. The rest is just priest + racial + essence major.
I actually click my lock rock, pots, and trinkets.

Sounds like you got a ton of macros you don’t need, no one else has 36 keybinds. I have a shadow priest and he doesn’t have 36 keybinds.

I have 0 macros on top of my regular spells.

With that intro you’re probably not going to get a good reception to your thread Nasuuna.
I think it’s because there’s been some push to make WoW more of a challenge in terms of class design because at the moment it’s a bit stale.
I think that video from Bellular did outline it well. Difficulty of execution was moved from classes to dungeons for a while and that wasn’t well received.
I’m new to the unpruning so I’m still undecided personally.
I have a hard time for shadow to believe you.
But yes for holy and disc that could happen.
You still have to pick mostly non-passives talents tho.
Where do all these extra skills come from? My shadow priest alt has nowhere near that amount.

I don’t play shadow, I only play disc/holy. Disc has slightly less.
I’d like the unpruning because our basic rotations (which mostly consists of 5 or 6 buttons) are so simplistic it gets very boring.

Why on earth do you have 36 keybinds…as a priest

Do you… have separate keybinds for each spec or something?
I play a Druid, master of weird and useless abilities and I don’t have any trouble. What are you doing?

Do you bind seldom-used things too? That’s the only way I can imagine having that many keybinds. Each to his own but I think it’s totally fine if things below a certain usage threshold are clicked. Like I don’t need a binding for mage table or arcane int for example…

I try to limit myself to 24 slots for all combat-oriented abilities, which I can do on almost all classes, but it’s surprisingly hard on a few even now (with trinkets, cloak, neck and obelisk, my slots are maxed out on this character with 9 abilities in the spellbook not slotted)
That leaves my mini-hotbars for hearthstones, teleports, whistles and a couple of utility abilities (I really need to just assign one spot consisently to gliders so I don’t die so often searching for the right key)
The side bars are mounts, professions, pet stuff, a couple of toys and food.
As it stands now, I have nowhere to put eyes of the beast, so it’s probably just going to gather dust in my spellbook, forgotten.

Because unlike demon hunters and bm hunters, priests require a little thought put into their gameplay?

I have a DPS rotation, utility spells, and an entire healing toolkit.
This is why blanket unpruning was always dumb.
Unpruning for who? Because MW, Holy/Disc, etc. already had enough spells.
I have the same layout for spells that are shared between disc and holy.
Nothing I have bound is seldom used. I use literally every holy/disc spell on at least a daily basis. Even fade.
Scratch that ressurections are on my bars that I click because no one ever wipes with me.

I guess our definition of “seldom” differs considerably. If I’m not using it multiple times per hour it’s not getting a keybind.
