Warriors have stances. Paladins have auras. Druids have animal shapes. Rogues have poisons.
Every class that has a Button That Should Always Be Pressed™ has multiple options so you can choose which one you prefer. Except Shadow priest.
Shadow Priest has to re-apply Shadowform every time they respawn. It’s a button. You have to intentionally interact with it. And yet your only options are use Shadowform or not do any damage.
Either Shadowform should not be a button at all, or it should have an alternative with some kind of trade-off. Because right now it’s just a button that you kinda hate that you have to push.
Priests deserve better.
