I know i know, theres plenty of whine posts about Dot Weaving and CoP in general, but i feel that it needs to be adressed more seriously.
Ive been playing/raiding with my priest for 7 years. always as shadow. Ive seen the ups and downs when scaling has been good and bad. But NEVER have a shadowpriest strayed from its main assets: The dots!
Yes we are in good position because of our singletarget dmg from CoP, but it feels unnatural at best to play like this. If i wanted a 100% rota based class, i would play something else. I want my dot spreading back! i dont care if it takes us a few nods down the ranks on ST fights, as long as we are as good as always with 2+ targets!
I would accept this as a choice, if only other talents would let us play as we always have - spreading dots and using our MF! Mindspike is a horrible spell (cancelling dots, like WTF??), and it feels like CoP is only in the game to make people use a spell, they have never used before, but then cancelling out the way a priest feels and plays...
CoP in its current state, lets you only play with this talent and dot weaving on almost all fights, due to the weakness of the dots and Mind Sear.
I rarely play my priest as dmg anymore. Even if its usually in the top when i do. I play it as healer, and my mage/hunter for dps. I really hope Blizz means it, when they say they will buff the other 2 talents, to make them viable, and hopefully end this mindnumbing Mindspike/no dot fest....
I miss my Shadowpriest and what it used to play like!!!
Am i the only one who feels this way?
