What about it do you find broken? I think it needs a few nerfs in PvP but I’m not walking into a repair shop and saying “fix my car” without any details, that’s silly.
What problems do you have with the class? What classes are you playing that have an issue with it? What spec are you having problems with (Disc, Holy, Shadow)?
Details, mate.
lol fair enough. That’s reassuring!
He just came here to troll
i miss when Blizzard polish was a good thing.
Haters are nothing new.
Shadow is great now. Different ways to play if you want. Options are never a bad thing, and we have tons now. Play shadow the old school way or play with void form. It’s just up to blizz to tighten the tuning and mechanics where needed. Which they said they would do as the expac progresses
I completely agree, shadow feels awful, clunky, and unrewarding. Why is vampiric embrace on the GCD? why does dark ascension have a cast time? (Void eruption having a cast time is okay since it technically deals damage when you cast it)
What is the goal of mind spike?
I’ve seen a lot of poorly made classes/specs throughout the years (glaring at survival) but shadow is our only dps spec and we honestly deserve better from blizzard imo.
Ahhhhh, pvp.
They screwed it up when they started making it “void priest”
I mean you can do literally the exact same thing in m+. It even feels better in M+ because mind link feels amazing in a dungeon environment. The only thing I wish the talent tree had is some kind of cd reduction component for shadow crash, I’m finding it’s on cd when i need it. Would be nice to see something like cd reduced per cast of something.
100% spriest needs a 2 charge shadow crash like we have for mind blast
I been suggesting Mind Blast should lower the cool-down on Shadow Crash by 1 second, I’m in the same boat as you. I feel like if Shadow Crash just had a few seconds shaved off the cd it be amazing and be consistently up more for every pull.
People have made great suggestions, Shadow Crash 2 charges, cd effected by haste, mind blast reduces the cd, literally any of these ideas would make Shadow Crash feel so much better.
Sure, you could use Mind sear at 50 insantiy, but it’ll be garbage compared to the full 100
Disagree. It needs to be mob-targeted drop on head. Clipping or whiffing with 2 charges is still clipping or whiffing. There’s no fixing a miss. Fix the spell, instead.
Casting mind sear at 50 is something you absolutely do and does happen. The damage you get for the insanity spent for the time is linear, casting sear at 50 twice over the course of X time is no worse than casting it for 100 once in the same time period.
Shadow Crash, if it was changed, I’d love it just to work similar to like our Mass Dispel but instant cast.
Target Floor, instantly happens, remove the silly sphere and travel time, just make a Shadow Explosion at the area selected.
So if a player whiffs the cast it’s completely on them, I think removing the travel time would help immensely.
Or
Just change the Talents, Scrap Shadow Crash completely, move Dark Void there and have Dark Void Spread SW:P and VT if they on the initial Target. So you’ll just VT one target in the group (talented with Misery) and then Dark Void spreading both Dots to 8 targets in a 10yd radius. Just make Dark Void Instant cast.
shadow orbs in cata were WHAT? i HATED cata shadow orbs and have never met anyone who thought that was a good iteration unless… did you happen to be the wow dev who was working on priest in cata?
MoP Shadow orbs were boring, set in stone, and generated by one ability, Cata ones were generated by your DoTs and imo far more enjoyable to watch the burst go off
MoP put me off Spriest until WoD made it feel less stagnant, but evidently some people don’t share that opinion, to each their own.
4/4 = 2/2 = 100/100 = 50/50 do you math or no
See the problem I remember with cata orbs is you had to cross your fingers and pray you’d get orbs.
I don’t remember for pve but for pvp this is a garbage design.
Coming from a MM hunter into spriest, I gotta say I agree that spriest is the clunkiest weirdest class, with the oddest synergys and RNG in the talent tree. When I first picked up spriest, i thought well this is just the hardest spec to play and probably will be rewarded for playing it properly, but after playing it in M+ for awhile, its just a clunky mess and you aren’t rewarded. No matter what “meta” build or off meta build you try. This spec suffers from having too many spells that just add up to doing too little. Its especially notable in ST, or on chain AoE pulls where the packs die before your next shadow crash is up. So then youre kinda forced to stagger your big AoE abilities depending on what you take. Mind bender cleave, shadow crash tentacles mind sear, Void Eruption or Psychic link. There is also no true good feeling ST build in my eyes. ST feels absolutely bad. The good here is that a lot of the fights have adds so that’s cool
That being said, the class changes coming are looking like it’ll fix some of the damage profile issues that this class suffers currently. Clunkiness aside
