Not really, if you're a priest, you know what he's talking about.

Ohhhh I see there's a secret priest society that communicates in code. I like the roleplay. Very shadowy.

Wait, I am a priest and I have no fucking idea of what he's talking about.

He wants answers on our flaws, obviously. Still dont know what he is talking about?

He's obviously referring to why we cannot use levitate as a flying mount.... that's like the only concern people have with the class, after all.

I just want to know which aspect of Shadow gets nerfed first. Our amazing AOE, tanking half of Suramar during world quests or absolute dominance in PvP and making Demon Hunters cry in fear.

What you did there...I see it.

Such an irony, considering those are the only question types Blizzard devs are answering. "Hello, my name is Johnlolpro from a guild <Keyboard Turning Pro Gaming>, I wonder since I am the guild's cook will I be able to transmog my dagger into a cooking pan, since it'd be great to roleplay like that?"

[Nokami]

I hope Shadow get nerfs soon, they are so stronk.

Sad but true, i'll be at work so won't be able to watch it live unfortunately.

I'll admit that getting an answer about Shadowform visual wouldn't be bad. Hopefully, it won't be the only thing in there.

You mean like the shadowform glyph we had?

It still exists, except it doesn't appear to do anything.

My question:

Why don't Purify apply atonement when it succesfully dispels something (the PvE version, not the PvP one)? Also, how are we supposed to heal (by desing) versus mobs with inmune/submerge mechanics (like Helya)?

Whelp, priests were mentioned once, and glassed over immediately. At least locs are getting some love, am I right?

Shadowmend.

[KaPe]

Shadowmend.

It is kinda weird that despite all this supposed focus on Atonement, watching buffs and healing through dps, the best five man tool is a glorified Flash Heal. Between this not really fiting the design and people being too scared of its hp loss mechanic, it's no surprise they have issues.

[Djriff]

The HP loss is quite negligible, you don't even notice it honestly. It's all incoming damage, and most times you use it, there's more damage after.

It's not very clear initially. In addition to that, the description is missing the fact that it's one of the most powerful single target heals in the game, which isn't based on cooldowns, procs or other buffs. Either way, it's a must, but feels weird when compared to the rest of the toolkit.
