while having the best snare, abom limb, aoe snares, and why is death grip 40yards? Are they a melee class or ranged? I’m confused.
And why 2 charges of death grip? DG needs to be 1 charge or the 2nd charge needs to DR on a target.
Death’s echo talent should be removed
Priest’s class fantasy is apparently to have 2004 mobility these days.
People like Classic, right?!
Tbh, the second they gave DK a divine steed is when I checked out mentally. The class that is built around slows and shutdown around them shouldn’t have options like that. It’s how we get into pres/dev situations where they can activate their entire kit for free with no counterplay. Bring back checks and balances to PVP pls
Because blizzard hates priests. Duhh!!!
The class is also unfun in rated bg blitz as well. You’re literally a sitting duck, you can’t run away from players or chase them down (like flag carrier) because everyone else has better mobility.
Priest is extremely mobile today compared to what it’s been historically.
You can try going Void Elf for more mobility. I’ve also done High Mountain Tuaren for priest, that charge is clutch sometimes lol ← requires higher skill and precision to use though.
You need to plan ahead in bg’s and run way ahead of the pack and see what routes they are going to take. You cannot be lazy and tag along when you see a FC coming out of a tunnel, you have to be waiting to cut him off at a good point.
Ya, that and almost every hero talent adding more aoe damage. A lot of it passively. It’s just dumb.
Several hundred views and nobody able to defend how stupid dks have become.
tfw you make a sweeping claim but have no actual historical knowledge to back it up. The racials you mention are just that: racials, not class abilities.
Angelic Feather, priest’s main mobility, is its worst iteration right now. Originally it was 60%, then in late MoP it was 80%, then it was 60% again until the 7.0 reduction to 40% – which still stands today.
We also had Spectral Guise from MoP through Legion to help with repositioning / escape. And Door of Shadows or Soulshape in SL. Oh, and we had reverse Leap of Faith for awhile too.
Now we have none of that, just a comically weak iteration of Angelic Feather, while everyone else is teleporting around with instant transmission and infinite mobility CDs.
It’s clear that priest has been left in the dust. Watching an evoker chain together all its moves across the map, compared to the priest waddling shows how this game has changed.
If they give us more movement they would have to kick our defensives down a notch. This is the tankiest we have been in awhile. And if they ever buff voidweaver then jesus gg. that variant of sp is unkillable.
Spectral Guise.
Call me old fashioned but I don’t think priest should be able to zoom around and teleport all around the map.
This game would be so much worse overall if that was the case. Priests are the best class in the game when put into the right hands with the support of the right team.
Adding in mobility because you wanted to reroll from a zooming DH or something is not the answer. Plenty of healers or casters available that fly around the map. Leave Priest alone.
The thing is, you’re right, mobility shouldn’t be this extreme.
However, we cannot have half the classes zooming around in their spaceships like it’s the year 3000 while the other half is still stuck in the stone age.
The arms race should be equally giving or taking across the board, though it is highly unlikely they will take a step back due to pve, so the only option is to move forward.
Because it’s hard to run in a dress and heels
spriest is insanely lethal and decently durable imo
i dont have to run from most players
that being said, i have no frikken clue how im supposed to beat a DK with a pulse
12 seconds of AMS where i cant do a single thing really really hurts
its pretty much the only class in game right now id want to run away from (funny isnt it, youre not running from a dk as sp uwu)
Bro here is really advocating for 2004 wheel chair priest while the entire game has gotten faster.
Have you experienced the new bg blitz strat of them activating the infinite pull while using horse to run away from objective, pulling the team out yank at a time until you’re 500 miles from the flag and they all cap it
SP is pretty good on damage right now, but people like to use the excuse of it being a hybrid class as a reason for having no mobility. Quite literally into any melee right now arenas are a slow motion zug fest and it’s infuriating. There is zero recourse when you’re being trained. On top of that we are also hard casting most of our kit.
I would settle for the fade targeting effect being 3 seconds instead of one or something silly/simple like that simply as a means to get some distance. It wouldn’t stop train but it would ease the pain. Hell, as others suggested even increasing feather back to 60-80% would be immensely helpful.
Please blizzard, just throw us a bone here! I’m not complaining about anything else for SP right now. Just give us SOMETHING.
You know I feel they’ve really let mobility creep get out of hand with a whole bunch of classes and most likely need to peel it back.
Like how many bloody blinks do mages have?
I know my rogue has like 2 vanishes; grappling hook x2, shadow step and blade rush as well as sprint which seems to be slightly out of hand (not that I PvP with outlaw but Jesus)
Haha yeah i’ve always been pretty elitist when it comes to Priest, I hate when it’s fotm with a bunch of fotm tourist playing it which is why i’m currently not playing it
