Void form damage wasn't actually that good, it really never felt worth it.
Yes part of the reason why people didn't use it is because of Edge but also because you lose the bonus from shadow form as well, so when a spriest enters VF they lose 30% damage reduction.
That is why Blizzard is giving Spriest focused will that will reduce damage by 15% and removing the shadow form damage reduction bonus of 10%.
Spriest can not have a fear and a stun at the same time, that is because a talent replaces psychic scream for psychic horror. Now for the silence it is on a reasonable CD but I would much rather have a ranged interrupt.
Shadow priest have great ultilies but non of it really saves us but rather another player, imagine us as more of a support caster.
The damage reduction is justified because as a spriest there is no reasonable way to get melee off. The only slow we have is a channel ability that roots us in place and the slow goes away as soon as we're done. (Which helps getting enemies away from other players)
I personally much rather have a root/slows and a "blink" type ability then have the damage reduction but Blizzard decided to make us slow and tanky.
One last thing is a talent you haven't mentioned and it is mania, which compliments edge by increasing the spriest's base movement speed for having max insanity. Blizzard is removing that ability, and giving us Intangibility.
Overall Priest have got a damage buff in VF, gave survivability between both Shadow and VF, removed a talent that benefits in the no VF max insanity playstyle and if edge is still the way I described it, gave reason to go into VF immediately to maximize burst potential.
Right now shadow priests can't fight most classes alone, even with the diverse kit. Some people only care for 3s where they are good but not I, they need to be better outside of that too.
Honestly I'm tired of getting pve to death because I cant out heal, peel myself out or out damage a melee dps regardless of fake casting or not. I also have a rogue and paladin that I just delete shadow priest with. So I support these changes.
Also Blizzard is giving holy Paladins a hard counter to priest dots as pvp talents.
Jesus i said no bias 1400 spriests.
1 quick wowhead tells you edge is CURRENTLY at 20% damage reduc on LIVE, the fact you are a spriest and just said that means i shouldnt even bother reading the rest of your post.
Edit: just saw you said in 1v1s so you arent even talking about relevant infomation. Lmfaooo.
Okay whatever, 8.1 isn't live.
I'll let the thread die because you're not obviously biased.
