Ok and now look at mythic where there’s actual mechanics / movement to be handled, as well as meaningful add damage.

No one cleared mythic. Bad data. Look at heroic, start at max, then drop it a rank going all the way down to 10. Shadow drops a place everyone. And at 10, it’s shadow and frost last, the mistakes can be made specs.
You realise that there are multiple bosses in each raid right? And those bosses can be viewed individually as well as collectively.
10% isn’t “making mistakes”. 10% is “died at some point mid pull.”

How? Every class 10% is that? Dying, and not being bad? Compared v all classes 10-30 is bottom, 95 mid, 100 3 above 95.
Ok i guess when the math says the class is good, most players aren’t. It must hurt.
The math doesn’t say the class is good though… The math says it’s decent at single target and short encounters with low movement, but gets significantly worse when fights require burst AoE / Cleave or more coordinated movement over longer durations.
It also says that the spec is bad at surviving mythic encounters, with some of the highest average death percents of any dps class in the top 25% of performers.

I don’t know how this fact is even disputable.

I don’t see how it’s worse than other casters when we have more instant casts. I don’t see how the class with devouring plague can have the lowest 10 score if 10s mean you died.
But we are a 7 button rotation who’s opener is like starting an airplane, vs classes with 4 buttons.
Priest doesn’t have any displacement abilities. Snares are brutal to us when our only means of mobility are constant flat movement speed increases. As well as the fact that root effects can literally mean death due to our lack of, well root breaking abilities.
Before you bring up Phantasm, I’m pretty sure the talent only removes 1 instance of a snare. Any subsequent snares will just immediately re-snare you again. I wish Phantasm also removed roots when pressing Fade.
Instant casts are nice, but we need to cast to activate many of them. Meaning you aren’t always moving for much of the rotation.

The only roots right now in this season you can dispersion, our silence out of( black bloods in arakara) you can self dispell everything in raid or mythic + in the current content.
Phantasm works on the sticky webs debuff on ovinax and the tether on silken court. Still have to run out of the middle of the room after getting sucked in though.
Except silken tombs on Queen Ansurek… the like actually important one.
You 100% can dispersion out of it.
One of them, yes. Of the 4 she casts in phase 1.

Ive never seen 4, only 3 then intermission. 2 of which line up with void eruption and halo, or void torrent depending on hero class. Easy to break them.
1: There are 4 on mythic.
2: You cannot seriously be suggesting holding void torrent to single target dps down silken tomb as a reasonable alternative to just breaking it in a single global like everyone else…?

I’m not talking about mythic, none of us are team liquid. No spriest beat it. Be realistic, you, nor I are that, nor will any of us ever be. Those players can talk directly to Blizzard about class changes, they don’t use forums.
Starting ansurek prog next week.

Good luck. Only a few downed it so far. You may be world first spriest.
pretty sure lucrend will be, if he’s even in.
Spec’s pretty good in P2 and P3, but it is really REALLY bad in phase 1.
It was REALLY bad on ovinax, it was bad on rashanan, it was OK in Kyzeva but it really struggled to survive intermissions, it was ok on sikran, it was REALLY bad on Ulgrax, and it was ok on bloodbound.

I can see some tech with cycling breaks on priest with dispersion and the yoink. One breaks first pulls the other, then swapping. If DPS on tombs isn’t enough.
I can see void weaver melting phase 2 with the extra barrier damage. I’ve been liking it for queen, the jump in p1 lines up with void torrent every damn time.
