I’m not making an appeal to authority here - I’m saying that you’re trying to use numbers to explain away problems that are independent from numbers and using that misinterpretation as a justification to tell someone that objectively knows the class better than you do that they’re wrong.
Fury, destruction, and balance are all extremely popular specs in mythic raid right now but are really low in overall dps because their overall dps is not a factor in why they’re played.
Likewise with shadow (and priest) - its weaknesses aren’t visible in plain numbers. Its problems are disguised by the strengths of other classes covering its weaknesses, which is not the case with any other class to anywhere remotely near the same extent.

You assume they know the class better. For all you know they’re the Paul tassi of wow and are geeen all day.
I literally explained how to over come every problem, and a lot of you didn’t know dispersion and fade break slows and root.
The data shows shadow is excelling in all aspects. It’s just harder to play than classes like fury.
You explained how to overcome every problem.
You ignored that every other class can overcome all those same problems for far less cost, no cost, or are even able to solve the problem for themselves AND priest for no cost at the same time.
The data shows that shadow is unremarkable in all aspects and doesn’t show that it must do far more to perform basic actions that other classes do effortlessly. That makes it harder to play because it’s just worse than other classes. Being harder because it’s worse is bad design, which is what people are criticizing and what you’re ignoring.

Look, ill be as simple as I can, this forum for the last 3 months has been a doomer circle J. You got this made who’s even in GD crying about priest, having community council members telling him no.
The class on paper, in logs, in io is strong, you all go on how priest can’t do things other classes can, and I show you they can.
The doomer blogger is just mad it’s not 7.O sotm giga pumps to the moon. When you got like say, Publik, peekaboo, and venruki being surprised shadow even got buffs, because there unseeded.
Word of advice play the game, you may just realize the chronically online people are wrong.
Any positive takes on the class has some loser going, noz cuz I can’t do that. Wth
The discord isn’t /wrist priest bad.
Yeah. Priest being 1 class that had essentially zero changes outside of Hero talents in the entirety of the beta cycle for TWW. That must mean we’re really good. Perfect even. Any problems the forums brings up, we’re just whiners.
Good argument. Thanks for throwing everything people have been trying to tell you out the window in some misguided effort to be “positive”.
Ironic.

There’s nothing to gain from entertaining this guy. Intentionally or not he’s just a troll with no point.
What does misrepresenting the functionality of our class actually accomplish? We can do mid damage. We objectively have a class design that isn’t comparable to any other class in the game (It’s worse), and none of your “use the game” work arounds even put us on par with other classes.
This dude’s one goal is to weird flex on the forums about how good he is and how bad everybody else must be. Just let him flex in his mirror alone while the rest of us continue to bring light to the multitude of issues our class still has.

The class that was so OP last expansion it invalidated all healers in m+. Why would they change it?
This is correct.
A good faith actor obsessed with numbers and data would recognize that his numbers (2300 rating, aotc) give him about zero authority on how good the class is.

Better than level 10 priest my boy. And 100% better than all yours.
Here’s the forum. Guys I need help with class
You: reroll. Toxic AF man.
You’re amazing. Your muscles are really big and I wish I was you.
Your 2335 rating is better than my 2332 rating and does give you infinite knowledge and authority over me, you’re right.
Edit: Also, both of our ratings are trash. You’d know that if you knew how to interpret numbers.

Positivity is a good thing to have. When you sell yourself as garbage, don’t be surprised you don’t get invited.
I mean I play Disc so no real issues too much. I just know how to empathize for others.
Others gotta stop tho lol. No one outside of priest forums thinks the class is in a bad spot.
Like the opposite really. And after healer nerfs holy and disc are #2, and #3.
Yes, they do. I was on that one website. Twitter X whatever you wanna call it. people say things there too people say things on Reddit like, what are you talking about?
Reddit and Twitter are where the casuals who whine go, just like here. Reddit has a serious censorship problem as well. Use the discord or raider io.
So when other people on here told you, the Discord is complaining too, did you just ignore that?

Hail the king, baby!
You’d know the atmosphere of the discord if you’d been on it for more than a minute. The discord is 100% aligned with the forums.
