PVP Findings: BETA

I found some things interesting with shadow PVP…

  1. shadow word death takes more health than i do damage with it. except with all the reduction in damage and full mastery it breaks even.

  2. voidform should 100% not be casted.

  3. revert those damage nerfs for PVP. Fine if it affects mythic dungeons whatever those are, but we need that damage for pvp.

  4. We have one Fear. its 45 seconds (30 seconds with talent or whatever) There is a race that can remove it. and almost all melee have a way to get out of it. we need some other type of creative cc if you don’t want us to have a stun.

  5. ANY MOBILITY COOLDOWN WILL BE FINE please and thank you.

Resolutions are simply tbh:

1.) Takes 5% health to do double that in damage. If you kill it gives it back. Also, remove mind blast and make SWD just able to proc and not have damage done t you when i procs. would be so fun cuz it spawns stuff now.

2.) make it instant cast. make our mastery increase length and shorten cd of void volley. I am already liking mastery and this would solve like 15 issues with spriest.

3.) Easy. Revert. Only affects PVE not PVP. (low key you know better than to give us a 40% buff 4 set and then nerf our spell damage by 30%, I would say shame on your for 20 years of development and nerfing us this way)

4.) PVP Talent: mind games. makes dominate mind disorient for 4 seconds and the next % healing damage is reversed.

5.) anything. actually idc. my thought is that shadowlands teleport.

Some of your points ate a little offbeat, sounds like you need more practice at shadow PvP.

  1. SW:D is really used as an execute or to destroy bubbles. It’s not really an ability to use on cooldown.
  2. Agreed there shouldn’t be a cast timer for it or at least become uninterruptable while casting it. That being said try busting it just before you clash in current state vs waiting to press it when the teams clash.
  3. Shadow does just fine as far as damage goes in PvP, it’s not top tier but it’s not bad by any means. The reason it might seem low is because people usually sit a shadow priest and so you can’t get as many spells off.
  4. We also have a silence, stun, roots and mind control, Not to mention PvP talents that cause casting void form to do an aoe horror effect and fade to make you immune for 1 second after pressing it. Shadow CC is actually quite good.
  5. Mobility outside of combat and/or when being left alone is fine, but agree that some more options for mobility would be great while in combat and being attacked.

  1. i was using it as an execute. did u fight a warrior in execute range recently? with 250% mroe damage it still does mroe damage to me.
  2. You lose out on a void volley if you do that.
  3. The nerfed it for large AOE mythic situations. Not needed in PVP.
  4. Silence doesnt work. And please list the stun? im talkign about beta shadow. we dont have a stun. and the root is tied to fear now. so u fear adn then root. if they break out of it root gone also. fade requires 40000 talents to work.
  5. thannk you.

SHOULD HAVE clarified its for beta. i have beta access btu cant type in beta for some reason.

EDIT: just confirmed. SWD did 29,000 damage to me but 19,000 damage to target dummy (PVP). Even with Deathspeaker it is hitting for about the same or a bit elss
