Shadowpriest in shadowlands LUL

And I agree Shadow is horrible and I never use it I use Holy/disc for questing

People still play shadow priests? Get on that fotm reroll and go fire mage. Lol

I tried Disc for questing in Legion. Felt like a LOT of downtime due to the fact most spells were small damage + DoT.

Now they might have changed things since then … just my experience.

My only hope (not holding my breath) is that blizzard hasn’t finished doing their work on all the specs. I doubt that’s true, but I can hold out hope. I want to melt faces with my Dwarf Priest again!

I’ve played priest since vanilla. Warocks were always right over there. And I made one too.

I also happen to have a mage. Shaman. Monk. Druid. I’ve got all the casters. Holy Pally. Etc.

I don’t like void form thank you very much.

I will agree that early on sPriest did feel like a budget warlock. But, I felt that they got it “about right” with the shadow orb system. The abilities had impact, and while they did have a good amount of DoTs, they also had direct damage. It was a nice design that worked.

That is not a commitment to do anything.

I’d like that but I don’t want the mana issues coming back… those were some dark days.

Who even thought up voidform? Its a trash mechanic.

Bring back shadow orbs.

Seems a lot of people are saying shadow orbs was the best system. It wasn’t perfect, but it worked. And sometimes that’s all you need.

Oh I hate Disc to it just does more dps than holy questing is the only thing I use it for everything else in the game is completely just holy spec

Is Discipline viable for say leveling in BFA content? I’m pondering maybe leveling my priest from 110 to 120 but I just can’t stand Shadow

Did…did you play any other iteration of shadow?

It’s ok that you enjoyed it, but i am just curious.

Yes, I’ve played shadow off and on since tbc. Orbs was one of my least favorite, wod was ok but nothing is like the rush of trying to stay in vf as long as possible.

Well, you’re in the minority. You like the thrill, many don’t. Not just that, its problematic in Dungeons & Raids. Outside of a talent, if you need to be in VF for a damage phase, you’re out of luck unless you’ve been building Insanity just for it. Unlike other classes that have a DPS CD, sPriest’s Burst option isn’t on demand, you have to build up to getting it. Which can be detrimental to your DPS.

Honestly, if Voidform was just a 3 min CD that didn’t require a resource build, and gave us access to a few extra abilities along with that sweet AOE burst at the beginning, I could live with that.

If they turned it into a burst CD … much like other classes have … I’d be ok with it as well.

So long as it was actual BURST damage and not “ok, 60% of your total damage is only while in void form, which is on a 3 min CD” sort of BS.

but I like voidform

Many don’t. And sPriest has suffered since they introduced voidform.

Also, there are a number who don’t like the thematic change from bad boy of the priesthood to rabid void worshipping cultist.

That’s too bad because void cultist is a way better look for us

That’s YOUR personal view, not a fact.
