Shadow Priests in PVE need help

Please find a way to make Spriests enjoyable to play in a raid environment. Currently their dps in p3 is worse then tanks and = to mage healers. If this is what you wanted, them to be like mage healers, you have succeeded, but it is not what us Spriests expected. We have no options to increase our dps and reduce our healing/utility. That should have been the purpose of runes. I see this has been suggested by many other Spriests, make a rune that reduces our healing/mana return and increase our dps.

I get everyone complains about their pvp prowess and they have been gods since p2, so please nerf them for pvp so they can be viable in pve raiding. Make a rune that nerfs them in pvp and buffs them for pve, mind flay would be a good target for that, remove the slow and increase dmg and range

Atm our rotation is more bloated then retail, please take a hard look at the feedback from passionate Spriests like myself. If you want mind flay to be part of the rotation, you may have to scrap mind spike.

Also, the pets are poorly designed in many ways, Our first 10 seconds of every fight is releasing our pets for utility and putting up utility debuffs, the boss is 1/2 dead before we get to cast our first buffed mind blast with 3x stacks of mind spike.

I wouldn’t mind a bloated skill rotation if it lead to good dps but atm it does not. Also, utility and 1/2 healer 1/2 dps is only beneficial lf the content is hard, this is Season of Dad, so fights are going to be less then 3 mins long and healers are already bored and using hybrid dps builds. I would be ok with scrapping spriest healing all together, it seems to be the main reason for keeping their dps gimped.

no no no hell no. warlocks first you sit down dont blame blizzard cause your bad at dps as shadow priest could be worse play affliction warlock then see how much blizzard doesn’t love you m8

bro your damage over time class your so be bloated. dont understand agruement at least you have full rotation

at least your not doing warlock meme first part of molten core, hope you like that shadowbolt button cause thats all you press

you priest are spoiled rotton. you got all these skills all these debuffs what else do you want? look at warlock they got nothing! you complain you complaining that you got vampric touch…Shut up man how dare you ask for more after blizzard doing nothing about affliction talent tree

I doubt were getting phase 4 for a minute if it makes it to sod with people left. People have moved on.

Nobody cares about the utility and healing, this is a casual season version of wow. Warlocks have a dps option that is miles ahead of spriests and that is all that matters.

says who. think your healers dont care about v touch think dps dont care that have best armor in the game. you are support dps. a support dps has pay some sort of tax sorry no shaman

bro your just bad at shadowpriest never once lost to affliction warlock on dps meters. are if your mad that fact that you cant out dps a destruction warlock. it is what is it

vampric embrace is so strong its reason able to solo as good as you do sometimes you pump more healing then your healers do think healers arent thankful for your support gtfo like for real

destruction warlocks are only good for raiding thats only niche they have they suck at everything else how obselute do what them become

if didnt want play support dps

then should played another class m8
