It seems like the demand for shadow is quite low in rated bgs. Don’t get me wrong shadow is very good in arena right now but it’s disapointing the only spec I’m generally asked to play in rated bgs is disc. Maybe more tuning to help make shadow more viable in rated bgs in 9.1?
Thanks
Nothing in 9.1 will change spriests standings in rbgs.
Getting a damage nerf in pvp because of pve when blizz has the tools to offset changes is completely stupid.
Nobody was complaining about spriest damage in pvp.
And can we get an awesome legendary for pvp already!!!, they all so garbo 
Well not saying your points are wrong but 9.1 hasn’t gone live yet either and is still subject to change
Also it wasn’t really explained why the changes were made to shadow for pve or pvp besides the void bolt conduit (echoes). And if that nerf proves to be too big then other conduits may prove to be more meta instead
And yes I agree balance changes made to classes should be dfferent based on whether it is being used in pve or pvp and Blizzard does have the power to do that
An ya priest legendaries are kind of boring for the most part
There is nothing they can do to make shadow more viable in RBGs without a complete rework, better to accept it and wait for the next expansion.
Shadow is a jack of all trades, to be good in RBGs you tend to need to be master of something.
But balance/guardian is good at everything and everyone wants them
Also spriest got reworked in mid BFA so not sure why they can’t rework it again. Even tho they made it worse after that rework in the middle of the expac :^)
I still got my first 2k in all 3 brackets as shadow during BFA. I got my first duelist in 3s. I guess Ill just have to go back to doing arena then
But hey I’m so used to healing as disc spec in rbgs this season that playing shadow actually feels foreign to me now. It feels weird to play as shadow like I’m out of place. It’s kind of sad because shadow is my favorite spec
Druids are not jack of all trades if that’s what you’re implying, is not an accurate way to describe druids anymore, druids are the masters of a lot of things in rbgs and out of rbgs.
Travel form should not be usable in RBGs.
Stealth should only be usable by feral.
The sleeper legendary should be nerfed in rbgs for half the duration.
Shadow shouldn’t require that you have an affliction warlock to babysit your dots
Most teams want affliction locks instead of shadow priests because of that dumb legendary that slows everyone by 50% which is getting nerfed next patch.
Shadow priests are pretty deadly though in RBGs if they’re left alone because they will tab dot everyone and start doing crazy aoe damage.
Well ya pretty much on the same page for the most part
And yes that warlock snare legendary is so annoying, so glad to see it being nerfed in 9.1
about that…uhhh just wait til u run into an affy running empowered curse with the leggo next patch. Basically same thing but stronger :}
Unless I’m missing something you can’t keep curses up on the entire enemy team like you can with corruption right now and they are also dispelable by curse removal spells, bypassing the magic dispel of UA for dps specs.
That seems a whole lot weaker in rbgs.
u can keep normal exhaustion on most of their team pretty easily but empowered exhaust or empowered tongues on a healer near perma. and yea u can always dispel them but still not as bad as people make it out to be.
Yea. This is the main reason. Also boomkins being insane.
Spriest really isn’t that bad though. It’s very strong in any kind of PvP aside from maybe 2’s arena.
