need shadow advice for shadow priest bfa

Also throw in the fact that people are back using S2M to inflate their logs on farm as well. Basically the exact same as when people were trying to compare dps numbers at the end of WoD when we were seeing raids of 10+ arcane mages bursting bosses down in seconds with ring allowing all classes to easily parse way higher than what they should.

The difficulty to master and play a class well is an important part of the conversation though. Not everyone is capable of capping out the more demanding classes, either for physical reasons or for technical. I don’t think it’s correct to try to throw out all the “bad players” and say they shouldn’t factor into the statistics.

Seconded. Many of the decisions made in abilities and tuning are more easily understood by thinking about the experience that somebody with slower internet, slower reflexes, and playing at lower difficulties would have.

Shadow priest moved from staying in void form as long as you can into move into VF as fast as you can for several times.

They moved from highly DoT in nature into a more bursty right now. MindSpike was now removed in favor more of Mind Blast gameplay and Mind searing for mob clearing. DoTs particularly SW:P now is easier to apply as two talent would apply on aoe. Misery would basically remove SW:P from one of you action bar.

You may choose to either play a more relaxed and control dps through MF/S or a more button spam on MB/SWD.
