Yes. Their own class dots duh.
I can acknowledge that SPriest was very strong in Classic PvP and continues to be very strong in SoD PvP. The SW:D nerfs were justified and while I don’t like the buff to Void Plague, that’s what Blizzard decided. I’d much rather see a buff to Mind Flay or changing SW:D to a proper execute.
wcl say otherwise homie, sp is like #5 or 6 rn
Maybe one day we will have a classic plus with dedicated client and they can make better class changes and have better options for buffs and nerfs but as it is now they get way too much dmg from void plague.
And making pvp a toxic experience for every other class too 
I cannot in good faith say SPriest is dealing too much damage, I can only compromise and say SPriest is dealing largely uninteractable damage. Their time to kill isn’t all that quick, they just have tools to stall and the nature of DoTs means you’ll probably die even if you kill the Priest.

Tbf it’s not just Shadow. I’m pretty sure there is just a SoD dev seeing to it that priest is so strong and other classes don’t have that kind of dedicated love.
Shaman for example I am convinced 0 devs play ever
That is a lie I play both classes. The way to win against a sp with hunter is to be bm/melee. Make the sp waste fear and keep distance, frosty trap hommies, then intimidation , bestial wrath. They will immediately go into disperse and just follow and trap once it’s out. And burn. Playing my SP, it’s easy don’t waste the fear and it’s gg, dots up quick and stay in hunter dead zone. Rank 5 trinket btw helps quite a bit for each class. Trading cd’s. If hunter doesn’t have cd’s it’s easy kill whether SP has them or not.

heres where your delusion is coming from bro pvp is not the same as pve. if sp is doing low dmg in pve theyre also doing it in pvp at the cost of burst or prolonged kitting via dots. this is a l2p issue. the mele 1 shot meta is more of a nuisance than sp we can agree or disagree either way it just comes down to our opinions. im saying everything is op and ur just saying sp is and thats where ur wrong
For Resto Sham, absolutely agreed. But with the patch coming Tuesday, I actually think Enhance will displace Melee Hunter as top melee DPS.

You all should have researched what class the devs play before picking yours. Should have known not to play rogue, warrior or lock.
yep sounds situational and like a better player wins. 1v1 in open world or bg is way dif than a duel where its limited range. hunter lowky beats everything 1v1 in open world no matter what
Agreed on Warrior, but Rogue slaps in PvP and Warlock is pretty great at all content. What’s wrong with Warlock?
Shadow is whatever, people crying about them post Death nerf are just bad. Questionable buff to Void Plague instead of Mind Flay but this is the SoD dev team we’re talking about.
How about they nerf PoM and get rid of Dispersion? It’s crazy how Priests straight up got an insane Defensive skill from a rune.

Warlock runes are pretty trash overall.
if they nerfed all melee burst and hunter pets id happily have them remove disperse. disperse is only needed for mana and from getting 1 shot by those classes

I’m fine with nerfing PoM, but firmly against removing Dispersion. It’s an iconic Priest ability and essential for their mana stability.
Counterpoint, why have no other classes received good defensive runes? You’d think people would be asking for more to counter the insane damage meta.

Not survival, no one really playing marksman much but that distance helps. A good sub rogue and SP with a blackout proc will win. There is rng to it in some cases… If SP gets blackout proc it’s pretty much over in most cases. But the hunter can get some heavy pet crits and force fear and dispersion early. But for the most part, who ever knows how to trade cd’s - utilizing nades help quite a bit in either case. SP is tuned a bit high, but so are other classes. Ferals need help, warriors need help. A good sub rogue can 100-0 if they are geared and understand timing.
THIS a million times
Talk about iconic abilities and defensives
Give every mage 1 lesser block and I will never complain about spriest again lol
More defensives will turn this game into retail where you’ll have to time everything according to defensive and offensive cooldowns.
But yeah, POM and Dispersion are the biggest problem with the priests in general.
