Patch 11.1: Spriest left behind?

Great changes, or at least interesting changes for Disc and Holy. I at least appreciate the attempt to diversify the kits.

But what about the humble shadow priest? Not one single mention. I think i may be develop9ng a complex.

There is a reason why I raid log.

And it’s not even on my priest.

Shadow has one of, if not, the worst designed tree in the game and not a single change for PvE or PvP. About what I’ve come to expect.

Not even going to sugar coat it with my wording, but it is a f’ing joke that there are no changes to spriest for pvp that either improve mobility, reduce our casting requirements or diversify our shadow school so we aren’t locked down by every kick, stun, knock, fart in the game.

Thrilled to see holy changes, but yes, hoping more changes to come for shadow (and for our shared class tree!)

Redesign inc.

I suspect Shadow’s revamp is coming along with whatever is being done to address the interrupt situation for healer Priests.

Just checked: notice also there isn’t a feedback thread for Priests. :thinking: It’s probably coming in a build or two.

Hopefully they plan on bringing their axe to cut down some of those dead branches in the class tree. I was also thinking they would need to address shadow “utility” in the spec tree in the same build they’d rework our class tree.

I hope we get a treatment similar to what monk had in beta. They went from a bad class tree to a great one while moving some stuff around all 4 trees where it made sense. I see similar design patterns in the change of the healer trees right now so let’s cross fingers that this is the first iteration of a good rework for our class!

Weeeeeeeeeeeee. Meanwhile… okay time for free games.
