State of spriest

Being 2336 at 614 kinda proves orc man right lmao. Nice job btw.

Wait, I have to laugh at this one.

So you’re saying Reddit is censoring anybody talking positively about shadow priest?

Yeah, the frogs are getting turned “You know what” too.

The data indicates that 2336 is achievable with any class in their release state and at around 600 ilvl, so achieving it at 614 ilvl doesn’t mean anything. A real numbers and stats guy would know this.

Reddit is literally censoring anyone who says anything lol. Say trump there.

Trump = the state of Shadow Priest folks. You heard it here.

Man you people are too obvious and always reveal yourselves.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt there, but I thought the exact same thing LOL.

He plays a hard class and knows the solutions to problems that top level players just can’t comprehend. Limit totally should’ve used shadow in prog because it has tools that can do X and Y mechanics, but the fools were too blind to see it. Everyone else criticizing the class design are just sheep following complaining bloggers and don’t know or understand anything because the data shows priest isn’t performing terribly, but is, in fact, performing adequately.

The fact that the data can’t reflect any of the class disparity criticism is irrelevant.

His feelings are facts. Everybody else’s feelings are just feelings.

I’ve been knocked out with flu for a week, updates are coming with the 20th anniversary patch stuff. VW getting added etc. Archon ST build hasn’t changed at all tho.

The default reason you see level 10 posting on the forum is because they are unable to post on these forum unless they have a level 10 US character to post with.

But the reason they don’t have a max level character is because the US forum is the most active for obvious reasons and if the EU people want to engage in the greater conversation, they need to get at least a level 10 character on the US server to post with instead of their main character on the EU servers.

The same works in reverse, you will be unable to post on the EU forums unless you create and level a character on the EU servers to at least level 10.

It’s just the way of how things were set up from a tech/programming perspective.

That’s a good reason. I was like dam it fell off.

Wild how a positivty post of shadow being good now got the saltiest responses ever tho. People really only use the forums to complain these days. Top level players do understand this YOU dont Zar.

Giving feedback- which Blizzard wants us to do, is not complaining. When you’re ignored for as long as the Priest class has been, sometimes we are going to repeat ourselves very often since nothing changes.

What are we supposed to do on the “Priest” forums? Talk about our day? I like reading forums where people ask for help and advice, sure, but yeah people are going to give feedback.

If you view that as negative or complaining, that’s on you. Most people view it as feedback. Which is again, what Blizzard wants from us.

Our solutions might not always be correct, but gamers definitely know how to point out a problem.

Wanting every tool every class has, whilst retaining pi, and mass dispell. That’s complaing. Please no more homogenization.

I don’t have any issues with people talking about the things shadow is good at, because there are a few unique things shadow is quite good at that do matter, and M+ damage as a whole isn’t really something I think shadow is paticularly behind the pack with.

I did have issue with the claim of “S tier” based on the data presented by archon though, given they’d effectively put everything in S tier which removes any nuance or justification for having tiers in the first place.

That’s true. This week’s it’s only Aug. But shadow went from b to a in raid with them now.

Spriest just hit court on the logs.

Court logs are really kinda disingenuous atm. The shadows that are listed there are SPs doing the fight on rekills with top guilds, and not progress ones besides the kill from honestly.

Remember WCL will pull from private logs as well as public ones for its statistics charts.

While true, aren’t you always top on that fight when you do it? I am, by a lot usually.

The fight plays quite differently on mythic to heroic, there is WAY more movement and a huge focus on specs that can have good burst damage for every single burn phase. Shadow is quite good at the fight, don’t get me wrong, but with the number of parses and the quality of the players (And guilds) doing those kills. The top 20% is literally just 1 guy doing a rekill with method for example. Compared to the much higher sample sizes of specs that were there for first kills in top 100 (But not RWF quality) guilds.

“No more homogenization I say! You will remain the most archaically designed class in the game because I want to roleplay.”

Funny how “no more homogenization” only applies to Priests. Even the devs with PW: GFY said essentially that.
