First impressions shadow: anyone else scared of nerfs?

[Syld]

The cleave damage is a bit too good, but I don't think we are super OP. People are getting top logs because s2m is still a thing and people are killing bosses in 3 minutes. Nighthold will be very different.
I don't think we are OP at all on mythic+ though, The class just works much better in that sort of enviroment now, but strong AoE classes still do more damage.

[Annesh]

Here's some. Just find the highest concentration of fire mages whinging about their two button spec not being OP any more and you'll find people baying for our blood.

The sky isn't falling? Really? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/10#difficulty=4

Yes, it is. And the ground is littered with OPed Shadow Priests. I can't believe I dumped my Spriest to play a Mage.

And a followup:

This was to be expected. This priest buffed classes that really did not need buffs.

The echo chamber is hilarious.

Those rankings are heroic EN. That's full of more cheese than a Wisconsin factory. All the fights except Xavius are barely over a minute in length.

Yeah we won't really have any decent parses until nighthold. I still think blizzard might have overdone it a little bit. Hope they won't go with their usual "to the ground" strategy.

[davesignal]

I'm hoping they wait until the first week of Nighthold to start nerfing stuff because yeah, EN parses are useless right now.

Alright how about https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/10# it's the same.

wait for real logs on nighthold not that shit farmed crap raid lol i was pushing really high with my low geared spriest becasue of s2m and fast kills from noob bosses which are outgeared by a million miles already lol

Still All fights are around 3 minutes, which is ideal for s2m, 4 minutes where it becomes same as other talents. The only 2 fights that are longer are xavius, the only fight in the game where you can do two s2ms and tree. If you look at tree logs, it's spriests pretty much solo killing the blobs for parses sake. It's too late in to the tier to have any realistic logs.

DoTs will get a nerf , 25% buff to VT/SWP was quite the eye opener when it came into play anyway.

I'd assume they would get 10% knocked off or something.

[Myah]

So for mind flay to be aoe, it needs swp on a target, but it's useless on low level raid farming (mounts) where everything dies with one hit. I could mind sear it all with one hit, but now, I need to kill one by one? .... they keep taking things away from shadow, very annoying

[Baelic]

Our mage is idolizing me while our Warlock is butthurt as fuck. Feels good man.

I expect the same, maybe a buff to mind blast and void bolt to compesate because our ST is not that amazing.

Gather everything up and hit it with Shadow Crash.

Yep, definitely nice to finally be where we belong. In the top. While all the 2-button spamming "pure dps" specs are where THEY should be.

Try Holy, run around and nova things

Out ST is fine currently it's like top 5-10 onm guarm.

Just the DoT buff makes Odyn spriest heaven and skews the rest of ToV rankings because of it, it's why I think DoTs will be a little bit more rebalanced even if it's meant to be niche.

Your Warlock must suck big time, cause ours is doing crazy damage with 12 ilvls lower than the average of the raidforce.

You compare a warlock 100 in his ilvl bracket with others players between 30 and 80 (for example ursoc).
I mean, take it easy, but except him every players in this raid are just bad or at least clearly not playing correctly as he does.

ok... lol thanks!
