If shadow priest is so bad

Why do you still playing it?

I’m not.

How enjoyable a class is to play is pretty subjective.

That said, I am not playing my shadow priest much because I feel that it is not that fun.

Furthest I could tolerate spriest was till level 40. I know that sounds bad but at least with the classes I stuck it out with were fun whilst leveling.

I’m not playing it.

Are you really trying to defend a spec that has all it’s power budget on some clunky power up mechanic?

My main alt is a Priest and she’s going Shadow in Shadowlands

Deleted mine last week. Any other questions?

Haven’t played shadow since that insanity or whatever it’s called came out.

After my playing my priest since BC, he has been entirely benched for the foreseeable future. Big bummer :frowning:

Because I’ve played it since Vanilla, and if I managed to mind flay my way through MC then whatever dart board Blizzard has that passes for class design isn’t going to stop me now.

I got my SPriest to 120 with the goal of gearing him, really just because I hardly ever seen them and just wanted something different. But I noticed that I felt really squishy doing solo content unless I always had my PW:shield up, but due to its short duration/small absorption amount, I had to waste essentially every 6th or 7th CD casting it. It just became extremely annoying. IDK maybe I was doing it wrong.
All I know is Mages have a much better shield spell, warlocks and hunters have a tank, and boomkins basically are mini-tanks. So they seem to be way worse off compared to other ranged classes in that respect.

I’m no expert on whether Shadow Priest is good or bad but I play with it when I feel like I need a break from dungeons. I enjoy it. shrug

I’ve mained it since late Wrath and I’m not giving in so easily.

My Priest might go Disc in Shadowlands. Right now I don’t play her at all.

Me either. I have two, one a boosted VE that I was so excited to play (and unsubbed for awhile after still feeling weak in heroic gear in 8.0) and a BE I’ve had since Cata or earlier. I don’t play either anymore, I suffered through one expansion of void form and that was enough. If I want a dark caster, warlock is much more satisfying, and that’s really saying something coming from the guy who always deleted his locks over their dumb demon names. XD

I’m not, I mained a different class for the first time through BFA. No regrets either, I miss my priest but I had lots of fun with my hunter.

Is there someone specifically you want your answer from? What is the point of your post?

I’m not. I benched my priest because the playstyle is awful. And I’ve played a priest since TBC. I just want my WoD shadow orb system, instant mind blast, and mind spike back. Also spectral guise.

I tried spriest in mythic. After 3 bosses benched it. Voidform sucks big time sorry. :pleading_face:

I miss that spell that let you drop aggro, of course with how they play there’s not much need for it :sweat_smile:
