Hit 23k on Maloriak today top DPS with 3k, yeah a nerf is probably inc. I was fine with being top 3-5 before tho >.<
The problem is, that shadow priest can't be balanced, as long as blizzard isn't chaning dark intent. This mean little buff is so rediculously strong for us that there is no way to balance us.
If we are balanced around having dark intent, we suck without it.
If we are balanced around not having it, we are extremly strong with dark intent.
Although I am in the comfortable situation of having dark intent nearly always, i'd prefer it if blizzard removed the entire spell. I guess class balancing would be way easier...
Well from the patches notes and finds from digging in the files, I believe the 'nerf' was already put down prior to going live. You figure your crits are self buffed with procs, etc. The higher are raid buffed. With the consistant dip and changes that went on with MB and Mastery, I feel they finally are comfortable with where it is at.
My guilds shadow priest has gone from around 7kdps too holding top spot in our raid tonight at an average of 22k. So yeah im counting the days till a nerf. Might get my shadow priest out to join in the fun of it though.
noob pver comments. The biggest difference of wow from others mmos is the arena system of the game which is about pvp.And this is a blizzard classic coz they always overpower a class and nerf another 1 and then too many players reroll or switch to their alts and this takes a lot of time to lvlup and gear up ofc and time is money for blizz.
oww nooo well you guise are pro but my little level 55 spriest is getting 2k MB haha, i hope they dont nerf it T.T
well deserved shadow priests, I hope they wont nerf you It's good to know that most of dps classes in game geting in one line in pve
I really wish people would specify when saying they're topping the charts if they have DI or not. There's such a huge difference in DPS with or without it. Without DI I think we're in a good spot and shouldn't be nerfed, with DI we're doing 2-3k more then most and could use some tweaking, but who wants to be nerfed because of another class's buff?
i guess he meant 7k dps increase
yeah because hunters still aren't top of the meters.
Please don't meddle with Dark Intent. I'm having flashbacks when warlocks were nerfed the last time that Warlock+Shadowpriest synergy was too strong.
I can't help that Warlocks and Shadowpriests are like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

I know that overnight my dps went from 11.5k in BH to 16.5k - most noticeable difference was MB clearly getting BUFFED. I'm not complaining since for a wee while it had been my standing joke that i was struggling to hit 10k dps these days! (note i don't play my priest regularly any more since i don't "raid" & the heroics got boring before christmas!) I have a sneaking suspicion that the nerfbat will be incoming - 10 man BH had 2 shadow priests topping the meters (someone from the only alliance guild doing HM's & myself) that shit can't continue without a ton and a half of whine from people, i mean c'mon my average MB crit went from 20k to HITTING 25k & critting over 50k.
Koodledrum - Balnazzar EU - 85 Priest - Retired.
i was stuck on the 17k single target barrier since yesterday... in every single fight except valiona ( since that's a shadowpriest boss ) .... today , i downed 7 bosses.. the boss with less dps i did was chimaeron with almost 18k o.O...
i did 22k on argaloth... and 21k on magmaw.
so yeah, pretty much a nerf is coming, since i top dps every boss easy.
PD: all of this was on 10man
Why not?If a fully raid buffed class is over the top,it's over the top.If other fully raid buffed classes can't keep up with it,that's the very definition of over the top.
I'm not saying shadow is OtT (apparently Hunters and Unholy DK still rule that hill) but saying that specific buffs should be disregarded when trying to determine if a spec is too strong is questionable.
