So I dont want to start flaming or crying about the heavy nerfs we are getting but at this stage it is getting ridiculous. So some weeks back we were slapped by heavy nerfs. 40% on our bis legendary, 40% on our tier set almost 10% overall dps loss.
And today our bis trinket was also nerfed by 15% ? Like can someone PLEASE explain us what is happening ? do you want us to leave playing shadow priests ?
The explanation says that - Our intention here isn’t to kill their viability, but give more wiggle room for situational competitors and introduce some more variance into player’s gearing choices across Eternity’s End.
but this is total nonsense, yes you are not killing the viability of trinket but you are killing the viability of spec because there are no better trinkets to use!!!
pallid command was nerfed by 40% to make other legendaries viable ? but are you too blind to see that other legendaries are totally useless and doesnt provide any dps gain ?
soulleting ruby nerfed by 15% so that we can use other trinkets ? but again same thing other trinkets are not just good enough.
Everyone here is able to see blizzard is just taking shot cuts and instead of fixing actual problems is taking easy way out by nerfing one good thing we have.

Good. I hope they gut shadow in 9.2. Due to how op you were in 9.1.5 this is well deserved. Thank you blizzard.

Give me some context, in what content was shadow OP? It definitely wasn’t M+, which is the most popular end game content by population data.

Whoever is pulling the triggers on the Shadow changes either legit doesn’t know/care/play the class, or actively hates them. It doesn’t make sense to nerf something by 40% so that we’ll “have more options” without making up the damage with a buff somewhere else unrelated to the goal of the nerf.

If you squint and look at it through broken glasses it’s OP while standing still in LFR.

Took my priest in a 20 SD last night. Found the dps overall to be not much off what it was but i was still adjusting to the new playstyle of prisim. i DID notice however the single target dps lower then it was for me
I think the issue is that shadow is going to fall behind massively after double leggos. Of course, I could be wrong as I’m a super casual player.
Shadow wasn’t getting carried by domination shards near as much as a lot of other classes were. Going forward things won’t be noticeable until tier and double leggo where other dps specs pull much further ahead.
This tier is bonkers with group movement so it’s going to be a challenge just to shadow properly.
I don’t think the movement is any higher than what we have seen across bosses this entire expansion.
This is what bugs me about MMO’s players dedicate themselves to their favorite class and then all of a sudden it’s not viable anymore for grp content. I never understand the need to nerf something so hard it become unenjoyable to play etc.
I get that good players adapt, but try to tell that to raid leaders and rated PVP elitists and all that good stuff.

The biggest problem is Shadow is the only dps spec in priest, unlike mage, hunter, rogue’s balance, the single dps class NEED to not be the bottom of the pack, you do not have another choice.
