That’s your opinion. I soloed as holy just fine thanks to it.
Chakra was fine, you just kept it as serenity at all times and cancel chakra - chastise - apply chakra - serenity. Wasn’t sanctify a 30 second massive aoe heal that healed for like .1% per tick 
I’m sure that’s gonna save ppl
No, while soloing you used Chakra: Chastise because it boosted your damage. That’s all they need to add to let us solo with holy.
Oh I kinda leveled my priest thru bgs back in the day. Leveling in world as holy was quite boring back then and again now.

It was certainly straightforward, but I was okay with that. I prefer the themes of holy and using light magic. I dislike shadow form and all of the ugly purple blobs the spec spews. I barley get to see my character anymore.
One of The first thing I did in TWW was run into the forest and overpull handfuls of elite bees and try to survive, this was my questing fun

There was a survey sent out apparently about 4th specs. DPS holy damage “smite” priest was an option on there. There was also a support spec 4th spec for priest on there as well. I’d prefer a pure DPS holy caster myself because the only real holy magic DPS the game has is Ret paladin.

Yeah, I’m not holding my breath on those surveys. I’m not a fan of paladin healing and prefer casters, so I don’t main one. They don’t need to design a new spec if they just go back to chakras and give us the dps to solo with.
Well that and the fact that paladin is a melee focused fantasy (ret and hpal). I’ve wanted a spellcaster “cleric” styled holy wizard in wow since as long as I can remember. Not holding my breath on the surveys either, but I’m glad they are at least gauging the interest.
TBC shockadin was the closest they ever got. I think they need to drop the idea of support specs. They serve no purpose in the way the game is designed.

Just to show how cooked my brain is, I liked Chakra. Got to pretend we had stance dancing. 
Clung to Divine Word till it was torn from my fingers. 
Just taking this opportunity to say that if you look at what this guy does and look at his logs, he’s been carried through all the Dragonflight Raids and at least one TWW raid (1 boss kill each on Heroic and hardly anything else). He’s not pushing high keys. He seems to mostly do PvP but I don’t even know if it’s rated PvP, and he’s been getting on a lot of people’s nerves by CONSTANTLY trying to “educate” them about how the class plays and how it’s supposed to play. He won’t stop.
I think there’s some major Dunning-Kruger happening with him. I think he theorycrafts and is incapable of comprehending how the way we want to play (feelings) could ever be a thing (never acknowledging that buffing existing spells was an option) and just points to raw number optimization as proof that these changes are good. He talks ENTIRELY too much about “rotations” to have played Holy Priest at any decent difficulty or in a variety of different scenarios, IMO.

That’s too complicated for what blizzard thinks of us. Also, imagine doing keys and the meta is to stay in the dps stance. Oh the forums would be ablaze.
They would be. You’re not even wrong. I want to say I played FFXIV back when cleric stance was a thing for white mage, and I absolutely hated it. The chastise chakra was similar to that on old holy priest and it was also clunky. But back then clunk was more normalized I guess.
I wish every healer spec in the game got a disc priest’s “sins of the many” aura where when soloing, you do higher damage scaled based on how many people were in your party. Fewer people = more personal DPS.
And generally, I hope they tune up healer DPS more than now because it’s looking grim regardless of what I said above.
shadowlands model was a thing because the seasonal affix was doing all the healing for you so as a healer you were useless if the route was done correctly to keep the buff running.
… My guy, you should’ve gone to SpecSavers.
Because I’m quite literally standing here, with my avatar using the elite PvP set for priests from TWW season 1 
Yes, but this IS beholding to the subject of shared opinions & consensus of emotion towards such recent changes on the class & spec(s) of priest.
Additionally, the Argumentum ad populum fallacy you’ve attempted to use generally applies when evidence has been ignored and one is using popularity as validity in place of it.
- I haven’t ‘replaced’ such evidence, because you’ve provided nothing.
Also, without proper data yourself – YOU have proven nothing to hold against the shared consensus of players concerns and frustrations 
Yourself arguing otherwise however, or claiming such isn’t the case merely because you can’t see it, is quite literally →
The ad ignorantiam fallacy
The ball’s in your court Sunshine 
Unsure if you’re talking about me or Nasuura, given you’ve quoted them – but it’s their quote replying to / about me 
lol
EDIT: Looks like you’re talking about them, but the pronouns used just threw me off was all haha

I’ve nothing bad to say about any other Priest that’s been posting in these forums. My comment was about the other guy, not you. I do apologize that I haven’t been too clear and concise. I’m operating on very little sleep at the moment.

All good 
And yeah, in that case I agree with your sentiment & comment made 
Haha
I will never understand people who play tank/healer outside of group content.
Soloing as a tank is great. You can pull everything in sight and never die. It’s also excellent for tier 11 delves, allowing you to do them undergeared.
Many of us play disc or holy while solo simply because we hate shadow. It’s not that complicated.
