The goal is to improve short term and aoe damage because of the long ramp up time.

Nice, I always like Shadow Priest since it was kinda ranged feral.. Nice to see you got your own "Brutal slash".. I'll brush my SP alt off I think.
The main problem and the cause of the long ramp-up is mass hysteria though. These changes are nice anyways and hopefully MH will be gone next expansion.
Not really an attempt to nerf our dot damage, more trying to buff our AOE. The dot nerf is just there to offset the burst Void Eruption will provide. Actually went and did the math on our mythic run tonight and took away 4% of my dot damage on fights and multiplied my VE damage and it ended up being a tiny increase on ST, but it will be amazing for burst AOE.
if shadowcrash aint baseline, nothing really changes. Voidform spalsh dmg is still minor af, when lets say the time we manage to pain small blobs in EoA, a warrior already did 10mil dps and the blobs died before we even build up to 65 insanity to cast voidform. Yay.
And no im not talking about <15 keys.
why does blizz even bother changing anything about shadow priest burst aoe when it doesn't make shadow priest the single best burst aoe spec in the game i dont get it
Shadow priests never asked a top place in AoE DPS, but having none is just dumb. Only class in the game that HAS to spec into AoE. Joke.
Sometimes I wonder why I'm still playing it...
Because it doesnt have to be the best aoe burst spec to be good? Theres a big difference between
"time to aoe............................................................... there we g, oh they dead." and
"time to aoe............ ah yeah some aoe going on!................................................."
What? Affliction does virtually no aoe damage on high keys unless you spec for sow the seeds. Destruction also has to spec for aoe. Druid has, you guessed it, to spec for aoe via stellar drift or the cost and radius of starfall is outrageous.
Guess who the other shit aoe spec is that has to spec into aoe and be absolute garbage single target as a tradeoff for mediocre aoe? Oh, demonhunters.
I'll take it don't get me wrong, but how did this take a year to happen lol

are these changes going to affect Shadow Priest in a good way or is it just to compemsate for the t21 nerf that i read about, are they set to be FOTM?
I think the best buff might actually be the 60% buff to Shadow Crash's movement speed. That shit's so slow stuff often leaves the circle or dies before it lands.
