I mean. SPriest as a whole is OP. I wasnt enjoying the playstyle but looks like Im going to main it since its getting all of the attention from Blizz for SL. Nothing but sweet tuning all beta/prepatch. Its still ridiculously OP prepatch and is playstyle that you cannot mess up. There is nothing that demands good play to perform well as Shadow. We will see a flood of SPriests for Nathria similar to how EN was before the nerfing.
I hope they rework Surrender To Madness as well. I really love the fantasy behind the talent but it is always overshadowed by the other 2 talents on that row.
i was playing with the idea of playing spriest in SL but the changes dont seem to be engaging at all sadly. crossdotting is still extremely slow, all the flow-feeling of the old SPriest seems to be gone. It is still a useless pic in m+ because the kick has so much cd, there is no stun, there isn´t a good aoe spell. searing nightmare feels cheap, renewing mindsear after 2 casts seems clunky. blizz makes a small mistake with shadowcrash but reworks it so it doesnt feel as good (there shouldnt have been a time where crash didnt had 2 stacks). at this rate even frostmage seems to be more engaging…..
when the expansion comes out or a week before can you go over talents/builds/rotations for single target, multi target, and maybe variations on both for m+ and raids? after more dust has settled and we have a better picture of more polished and finalized abilities? I'd do it myself, but I don't have the time to sim. tyvm
I am happy that the gap aint that big, cause SC really rubs me the wrong way in every single ways.
I dont think they want Crash to be the single target pick, and honestly, it probably wont be with 2-digit differences in simulations on an active ability vs a consistent passive. Personally I'd rather not think about it and just pick AS if its at the point where the killtimes matter more than the abilities.
Great video! It's super helpful getting these weekly updates. I'm still holding out hope that you do a video on the inner workings of what you do to sim because I'd love to learn more about that, but I get it might not be top on your priority list 🙂
Shadow Crash being the best on the row makes sense, it's an active button that you have to target, whereas Psychic Link and AS are set-and-forget options that require no thought after you pick them.
Small correction, I mentioned Shadow Crash had a hasted CD before, this was wrong and the talent we had throughout BfA was not hasted, just the reworked version we got in Shadowlands Pre-patch. I still think the hasted CD would help it scale better throughout the expansion though, maybe adding that and tuning its damage down is the way to go? Time will tell.
We have SO MANY BUTTONS now it's actually starting to be annoying 🙁
Need to make , shadow croush apply to targets shadow world pain
What nameplates do you use? Trying to find something better than the basic ui but don't like elvui
Do you think if they just nerfed the damage of SC a little and then made it apply VT to all targets in 10 yards that would make it a more viable option with both damage and utility or do you feel that would be to OP / difficult to balance?
Personally I don't like how it feels throwing a projectile for ST/cleave.
It feels clunky to me
Silence rank 2: increased range… couldn’t have been a baseline change lol
So is panda best race or goblin?
Great video man was looking forward to it! I hope we get a slight buff to Mind Sear.. Personally I really dislike Searing Nightmare but with so many nerfs it feels like we are actually weaker in AOE but stronger in single target which I am not sure is our class fantasy. Overall just loving the new Shadow cant get enough of it and cant wait for SL! Which covenant are you joining? I am joining Venthyr cause honestly they just look awesome and Shadow Priest goes well with Vampires lol
Nice vid man, can I tell me that action bar thing your using
i know it sounds weird, but make shadowcrash replace devouring plague and not generate insanity. Suddenly an aoe spender for aoe pulls but you dont have anything for single target. its a correct choice for correct time situation
silence range should've been baseline. the r2 shadow mend was actually nice.
