Quit Because Shadow Is Garbage

And 8.1 changes DO NOTHING for the spec. Some numbers tuning that should have happened three months ago? Good stuff.

I play to raid and push keys, what a joke 8.0. has been. 8.1. will be no better.

I've sunk enough time into my main. I'm not going to do it again just because the developers are mediocre or cross my fingers and hope 8.2. is different.

Too bad. I like the spec and the game. It's just garbage for any semi-serious play and I'm not here to pet battle or play fashionista.
i really enjoy shadow right now. i enjoy it more than mage

i don't know how to holy and i also don't know how to maim with discipline so here i am making the world better by shadow
8.1 will be better. If what you expected was the spec being change at 100% than guess what no patch ever have do this. They did major change in 8.1 that seems to please shadow main player that can at least admit that it is a good change for a patch only change.
Surely if you dont like one spec you can play another...

Its one thing to quit over every spec, its another to quit over one.

I am actually enjoying SPriest; then again, I DGAS about Mythic+.

It definitely needs buffs but it is not hopeless. It could use some WPvP love - easiest open world target in the game. Arenas seem meh too. BGs are fine though.
My shadow priest plays better than my BM hunter, destruction warlock, WW monk, and assassination rogues.
Shadow "plays" fine but the damage is generally mediocre, and on 9/10 fights shadow brings nothing to the table.

If you're doing the odd heroic dungeon and LFR, yeah who gives a crap, but that changes A LOT when you're progression raiding or want to push a 12+ key.

Healing is cool, but I've had my fill over the years as a resto main for a long time. Getting any alt to the level my priest is at is a boring, almost daunting task.

bye. we’ll contact you if we find someone who cares!

But seriously, really? over one spec & class? there’s a lot more to the game than that.

I’ve read a lot of feedback today and about shadow in 8.1.

Seems its mostly a buff for pvp players.

That’s what I’ve been seeing most people say.

Unlike Elemental, shadow has been able to be played, and has done decently in raids, even if I have to be on dispel duty :frowning:

I wasn’t able to try it on the PTR, but reading the patch notes, it appears that they might have kind of fixed the insanity issue we’ve been having. It will be interesting to raid tonight to see if the changes help the spec.
