Shadow tuning?

What bug with madness after tentacle?

ST is still B-Tier imo

This has not been my experience. My Flay is ticking for around 8k, SW:D in execute is hitting around 13.5-15k

After running a couple mythic I just can’t bare it. It’s so bad :sob:

They could revert the PL change and we’d still only be average AoE. If this is the route they want to go we’re going to need another round of tuning.

PvP or PvE it doesn’t matter the class gets run over.

Spriest might be the weakest spec in the game

I got obliterated in a T8 delve. Last week T7 was fairly easy. Meanwhile my ret paladin waltzed through T8 without a sweat. After 20 years I’m done with shadow for the time being.

Despite my wanting to remain pessimistic, we absolutely crank after the buffs. And the Mind Blast buffs have made Thought Harvester only a 1k damage loss to take (2k if you aren’t taking or utilizing psychic link). Both cases are my own, character specific sims.

So for now I will take the janky talent builds to maintain a decent gameplay flow that I don’t hate.

I’ve Solo completed my T11 Delves and also the N Lair. – I was 242 iLv.

I had to sweat and it took me about hour to complete. So I know its possible. Heavily relied on every single CD. - Had to Kite and play like I was in Arena using LOS.

That doesn’t change the fact that SPriest is hurting. ST is mediocre, which means AoE is D-Tier.

I’ve been doing my delves today, 11 took me about idk… 10 minutes, maybe 15.

I really don’t understand why people are struggling so much on shadow.

I’m geared for holy but was messing around with shadow today and my blessed pango charm embellishments were proccing on me a lot, I think off of passive heals from Vamp Touch-definitely not the ideal embellishment for DPS, but if you’re a dual spec player on a single character, it isn’t terrible. Archon Shadow is really fun and frankly I’m shocked at how much stronger it is than Affliction right now.

Unstable Affliction is very undertuned. I’m not sure why people are struggling either. The damage difference from Monday to Tuesday is night and day, no pun intended. I’m more concerned about the historic and traditional knee-jerk nerf than anything else at the moment.

Because we caught the PL nerf and the bug fix with NONE OF THOSE BUFFS in PvP. Just a 7% buff

Im not super concerned with the ST. It feels fairly on par with other classes.

The issue I’m noticing fairly quickly is Sustained AoE that fall outside of CD windows. Which isn’t the worst in Raid, but is incredibly concerning in M+.

In the M0s that I ran last night, my PL was 10% of my damage. - SWM and MB were 1&2.

I have never seen ST spells beat out my PL in dungeons before.

I do believe this post is regarding doing Delves as a Shadow Priest.
Yea Shadow did recieve some big nerfs in PvP.

Was the ā€œ100% damage for aparationsā€ some new short-lived bug, or was it there since the begining?

If it was there since the begining, im kinda confused because even with the bug, the damage wasnt anything spectacular on the breakdown. Considering we are foced by apex talents to play the spirit build everywhere it looks kinda questionable to say the least.

Anyway, today i saw that liquid is bringing some sp’s to their race, atleast for now in hc week which is a good sign i guess.

That bug appeared after they ā€œfixedā€ the bug of apparitions not critting at all.

I did some open world content on my s.priest with mediocre gear. Took about 10 minutes to go back to my WW monk with similar gear.

Delves as shadow has always been easy with dominate mind, but I wanted to try the prey system as well. Having aggro with mobs running around just wasn’t fun.
