In BFA Demolock was the only dps without a kick - it had trouble finding groups. I worry about priests in DF

I thought you let your sub run out Maizou.

Honestly, I’ve been a career priest since TBC. A part of my brain wants to say “NAH! I got this!” but really, I don’t have this, and bad class balancing is no reason why I should suffer. So I just don’t think I’m going to play priest in DF.

I think they want fewer players to play Priest in DF.

That’s an ironic statement, since this started as a comparison to Demo locks.

“We’d rather you not play ______ right now.”

I also think they want fewer players to tank as Druids, given that they abandoned the Guardian tree 5 months ago and now are saying class trees are done except for some minor tuning.

Also don’t want people playing Retribution Paladin.

I see you’re a Brewmaster. That spec is bottom tier also.

I’m going to be real with you.

Priest’s desirability in 5-mans is entirely tuning dependent. Rsham hasn’t been “meta” in the same way hpriest has been for seasons 3 and 4 despite having an interrupt.

If (theoretically) priest brings the best damage and healing along with PI, top groups won’t care about it not having a kick. Most groups get along fine without a healer kick, it’s usually a nice bonus. This will trickle down to pugs. Monkey see monkey do.

TL;DR - Not having an interrupt is weird but also not a huge deal. Tier lists, rankings, and representation in top runs will determine if pugs want a priest.

The irony here is silence used to be baseline. Then it got stripped from the two heal specs for priests. It really causes issues with Disc especially. Oh how fun it was (not) having to remain shadow doing MoP rares when they were current content because otherwise I couldn’t interrupt the 100% heal from some of them.
