Blizz nerfed AS from 100% to 70%. They provided the reasoning that shadow priests were doing too much spread damage in raiding (I understand that). But I don’t see why they did this for PvP as well. Its such a huge nerf to our overall damage. Does anyone think blizzard did this with PvP in mind? (hold the laughs)

Possibly, though honestly in all the time I’ve run as a SP it’s been feeling more like a glorified healer/shield buffer. There can be damage spikes, but so few abilities have that potential, and it is really dependent on what gear/boosts you have access to.
Combined with a good AOE healer and tank though, it’s a deadly combination. It’s just a tricky spec to find your place in I feel, and in PvP weaknesses are certainly shown quickly.
It’s even less of a nerf to PvP since the traits were already 50% instead of 100%. Honestly didn’t even notice much of a change on my priest in pvp today.
