Only a week huh?
Replace your Azerite gear with nothing or something without taking any traits yet.
Take off your neck.
Then just go around playing the spec as its base form doing world bosses and stuff around Zandalar or something.
I would be surprised if you think that’s more fun and engaging compared to Shadow Orbs in any form of WoD, MoP and Cata.
The spec simply does not work at its base. It cant and wont without tipping over and becoming OP like it was early Legion and then get smacked down to being pathetic once again.
Shadow Orbs mechanic is something that can work because it did work.
Case closed.
