It seems like a handful of people on the Priest forums are the only ones allowed to have “good ideas” for the class. Very cliquey here, whereas other class forums are much more open spirited.
Look, I’m not saying everyone or even anyone should agree with me. I’m 100% okay with people disliking the things I say. But I’m telling you, if my exact post was made by someone else in the cool kids club on this forum, it would be lauded.
I’ve had suggestions torn down and misconstrued on here, meanwhile someone else will post an absolute brick wall of text, and somehow everyone read the whole thing and liked it… I’ve said elsewhere, these forums blow my bangs back and I meant it.
Coming back around to the main point— I think maybe at this point Priests are just really jaded in general with the class. Probably pretty pessimistic in general given the archaic class design, low quality utility and mobility, and lack of meaningful reworks. So that’s what you’re going to most often see here.
Being their own worst enemy is probably a learned behavior at this point since Blizzard doesn’t listen to anything we say on the Priest forums basically.
