Shadow Priests

Remember when they just threw crows at people and we all just accepted it?

Man, they had a weird development over the years

Question for the spriest lore experts. Did the ‘theme’ of the spec shift from shadow/darkness to more of a void? From what I remember of the olden spells and talents, it didn’t have the tentacles or other wiggle demons.

Am I misremembering or was there a thematic change at some point?

Yes. It switched to void in legion

It changed when the void and old Gods had their lines blurred with the introduction of Void Lords.

Ahhh ok thank you! I don’t play shadow enough to keep up with what it does each patch, let alone through the various xpacs.

The first and only time I’ve leveled my priest, by not just healing, was is wand spec.

Unfortunately

:sob:

I remember leaving shadowform to heal some fools (usually myself)

I thought the void lords were introduced in BC In netherstorm questing… was that different?

ETA: I definitely agree that the lines were blurred when the VLs were given dominion over the Old Gods. I think I liked it when the cosmology was nebulous.

I kinda miss that too tbh.

Now you can just flash heal within Shadowform, and it feels wrong.

gives shadowform a reason to be I thought.

shadowform: increase your dps
leave shadowform: do some off heals

I miss the birds as well, even if it didn’t fully make sense it was just really cool thematically.

Would love to see a green fire type quest involving Anzu and the Arakkoa that lets priests take on a modernized form the classic raven/shadow motifs.

It was from the scarlet onslaught guys in Wrath.

Google Raven Priest and you will see where the fantasy came from which was subsequently added to player spriest

Yes. Voids Lords are not Void Lords.
Blizzard sucks at names, apparently.

They went from dark mojo voodoo-witch doctors, to murder of the shadow-crows and then straight to tentacle lords.

Dark times indeed …
… I mean obviously, for Shadow-Priests :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
