    I've none for the actual shadow effect it applies, but know it (and Shadowy Friends) still breaks the Voidform visual:

    Only thing that happends is the smoke is removed (semi) and you see your character a bit better, but voidform completely destroys that look and makes you look weird.

    I’m leveling a priest on classic just to revel in original mindflay and shadowform. But it’s the Blizzard way, take things that work well and ruin them, replacing it with something objectively worse and less interesting.

    I would completely remove Shadoform from the game: it makes no sense. Give us 10% buff and get rid of this annoying purple thing and add cosmetic glyph for those with nostalgia. Do Fire Mages need Fireform? Frost mage Frostform? Holy Priest Holyform, Ele Shaman Elementalform etc.? Moonkin makes sense because of a nature of a shapeshifter class.

    I actually like the new mindlfay much more than the old beam effect. They should just toss an optional glyph in there for the old shader.

    those opinions... how is old shadow form more interesting? what's interesting about it? the flat damage increase, the % of physical damage taken or the fact that you can't cast any other school than shadow in it?

    or maybe having access to merely 3 shadow damage spells is interesting right? or maybe having Mind Blast generate additional threat is interesting? or maybe not being viable is interesting?

    i played a shadow priest during both vanila and tbc and it RUINED my experience, it was a useless leveling spec only existing because Smite did too little damage... and you think that this shit is better than what we have now? a spec with a complex rotation more utility than ever, viable in both raiding,M+,arena and rated bgs?

    well if i hypothetically assumed that you are an idiot that just hates on everything modern and worships all that shit design just because it's vintage would i be far from truth?

    Way to flip out over a complete misinterpretation of the thread. This thread is about the appearance of shadowform and mindflay edgelord. Not the functionality.

    Calm your horses, this is about the look of Shadowform, so it is easy to assume he is talking about how the original Mindflay and Shadowform looked, not how the class was designed.

    And as you said, it's opinions, no way to "assume he is an idiot", because he doesn't share yours. Many prefer the playstyle of Classic over Retail, no need to be an ass over it, mate.

    I'm actually curious why it's still in the game tbh. It's a flat damage increase to bring you up to par with the other classes. So it's kind of a... stance? Which is necessary but doesn't add anything anymore like damage reduction. Oh and hiding your transmogs behind a bad special effect.

    Strikes me it'd be easier just to turn it into a minor glyph for those priests who want the effect and otherwise killing it.

    Shadow form is the entire reason i created my priest so long ago, i cannot really comprehend someone making a shadow priest and not wanting shadowform, to me it's akin to asking for your warrior to wear leather because you hate plate armor. I hated the changes they made in legion but i've come to really like the latest version of it even though its nothing like the original anymore.

    Only change it needs is glyph of shadowy friends to be baseline again and the toggle to actually be persistent through death, i am just really sick of having to turn it back on every so often after resurrecting in bgs and stuff after all these years, once i activate it i want it to stay on at all times unless i manually turn it off or if they actually give us back flash heal in 9.0 and keep the no holy spells negative which we could all live without in modern wow.

    Or at least have a version of it that applies only to mounts and not pets. I like have Uuna running around with me but Shadowform turns her into a weird void child thing.

    Amen and say no more. The list is long and deep and covers many things and classes.

    I remember being so sad when they “broke” the mind flay animation.
    The most persecuted minority is the individual.

    I feel so stupid! When i was typing that post i was gonna mention the Uuna thing but i've never actually realised it was shadowy friends glyph that was doing it!

    Yes there absolutely needs to be a mount only option, its not the end of the world for me but it does really ruin the pets, it's just ugly as hell, the mounts tend to look great with it but the pets...

    I mean it used to give other buffs like increased armor and reduced damage taken.

    But I get what you mean.
    change can't wait.
