Long live Hungering Void.

Glad they put it out of its misery and will instead focus 100% on the “new” shadow (and by new I mean the pre-Legion version with substantial enhancements).
What does the new talent do
After you cast 2 void bolts on the same target your damage against that target is increased by 15 percent and each void bolt increases the duration of void form by 1 second.
It’s a beefy single target talent, probably a must take in raids, maybe pvp, we will have to do testing.

Sounds nice, I saw they also buffed the conduit for voidbolt a ton. Along with a couple others like mind devour

So glad legacy of the void is dead and buried, If I had it my way there would be no spells consisting of the name “void” In it at all. Kill it, bury it.

I will most likely delete my priest if these changes go live. I absolutely loved legion S2M/LoTV haste stacking dot ripping mechanic. These changes seem to be homogenizing spriest to be just another boring caster.

You are entitled to your opinion certainly. However I think the greater community of priests would agree it wasn’t a good play style. It felt terrible to use in the open world or content with lower HP enemies, and It was incredibly hard for blizz to balance. We were either way too strong (beginning of legion) or way too weak (most of bfa). The ramp style is a cool idea but they never quite got it right.
I’m sorry youre disappointed with the changes but IMO blizz made the right call. creating a singular vision for the class rather than Trying to adhere to both styles. Going back to DP is 1 a return to a more classic style and 2 much easier to balance. If priest isn’t your thing anymore I hope you find what you’re looking for. Good luck to you my dude.

I agree that early legion priest was busted as all hell. I played spriest through all of legion and found it to be at its best and most balanced during nighthold. I think it was definitely possible to keep on that path and make the spec balanced. Blizz decided to go a different direction however.
I’m sorry youre disappointed with the changes but IMO blizz made the right call.
Im extra disapointed because I just paid for a faction/server transfer to raid with and old group. I made my decision after hoping on the ptr and enjoying the LoTV mechanic, then blizz pulls the rug from under me days after i gave them my now wasted money. It sucks I cant even hop on the ptr and mess around to see if im being over dramatic and will endup liking this entirely new class.

For what it’s worth, priest still hold a relatively unique place in the caster world. As a priest player I’m sure you know these.
We can literally rip control away from enemies and make them our puppets.
We can slow them forever with our main filler slowly unraveling their mind
We get to heal our allies through sapping the life essence from our enemies.
We also are now a class capable of stealing the very memories of our enemies, taking their skills away from them and using them ourselves. (So cool!)
We provide a sweet buff helping our allies stay healthy.
All of these things have always been true about shadow. It is a new play style, but for a lot of us it’s a return to a better time. Try it out, I really hope you like it. Don’t despair, maybe you’ll find it’s a new favorite.

Did you ever play spriests before they became the void priests you so love? Honestly that was the prime of spriests imo: Maybe I’m stuck in my ways but I’ve been playing my spriest since wrath, to finally see spriests go back to a sort of semblance of what they used to be is really exciting for me. I don’t care if we’re OP, if we’re garbage, I want the play style I love back and it seems like they are on the right track here.

Seriously, no not at all. I tired priest in BC never got into it, thought the thematics were cool though. Then didnt touch one again until WoD, hit max level but never really ended up playing it because i just really liked my monk back then. Then I mained priest through essentially all of Legion.
Im holding out for the changes to be on the ptr to be my final decision, but im skeptical.
I loved Legion Shadow Priest too but I’m sure many Shadow Priests including me, don’t want to go through another 8.0 (Uldir levels of sh*t due to losing Xal’atath and not enough secondary stats to feed Voidform) and then get nerfed the next few raid tiers with more crit and haste stats and borrowed power scaling Voidform out of control.

Pre legion shadow priest was so much fun. I didn’t play priest until end of WOD though, but i loved it so much it became my main for the last few months of the xpac. Then the legion changes went live and ruined my new favorite spec and barely touched priest in 4 years. I’m so glad i can go back to this class again.

WoD shadow PvP was ridiculously fun.
My priest has been untouched since Legion because of void form, excited to try a real shadow priest again!
Affliction also got some nice changes, it will be interesting to see which of the two will be more fun in PvP.

Dude, if you love something that is both broken and impossible to balance, you’re just a FOTM player and no one cares about your opinion. Just go roll a hunter.

I care more about a FOTM player than a do someone who is needlessly rude, read you.
