The same problem Shadow Priest always had in classic… your group will want you to heal.
You join that AB group? Better heal.
You join the raid? HEAL.
You join a 5 man for STV? Better get healing boy.
You can use Shadow by yourself, but otherwise get used to healing.
It’s like prison. You’re gonna get tested.
Respect your shadowform, and others will respect it.
You only have one.CC and it has a 30 second cooldown.
When you fear and I use WOTF, then what?
The 2 D’s.
DOTs & Disperse.
6 seconds.
The second that ends you’re melted.
With some homunculi debuffs for good measure.
It’s the face that gets melted
don’t join a raid or premade that forces you to heal
problem solved
Shield. Dispersion. Possibly Penance (its disc like shield). Blackout procs.
Void Plague and SW:P just ticking away. Mind flay when you’re coming back in from your fear. Homunc lowering your AP and AS. 30% self-healing from imp vamp embrace.
All we gotta do is survive your opener. You don’t have anything after that.
Lol the rogue is madge he’s going to be seeing the death screen a lot because of Spriest in P2.
Gotta love Double Ds
it is going to 100% depend on how well shadow’s dps will be in p2. if its anything like its current state in p1, then i can assure you its not even worth giving a try in a raid environment. i hope shadow has similar dps to all the casters though. but if it doesn’t, playing a priest, idk why you wouldnt want to heal but thats just my opinion
Tell me you haven’t read a single shadow update for p2 without telling me.
oh not you again lol. i’ve read them. with the new updates to them, it’s likely they will be bottom tier caster still. if they fix humuncili and add a pet bar while also allowing us to run shadowfiend then i think it could work tbh they also need to buff mind-flay by 50% dmg maybe even 100% and increase the range to 30-35yards. i think that would definitely make them viable. but i didn’t read any of that so i have my doubts
Specs like Shadow and Ele need to be bad at PVE or it just breaks the game in PVP as we will see in P2.
I think that’s okay TBH. The PVE is always easy and can be cleared with any comp but a class being overpowered in PVP is demoralizing and frustrating.
i agree with you 100%. shadow and ele should not be strong in pve and thats okay. they are insane in pvp and each classes counterparts (priest and shaman) have #1 class specs in the game that will continue to be #1. (for Qlipse future confusion this will be shaman tank + priest heals)
Just heal with VE theyll be fine. U can damage and heal!
