Shadow priest nerfs 8.3.0

[Marrilaife]

with Nyalotha there seem to be a lot of Priority Adds that need to die = BM is perfect for it .

The class plagued with pet pathing issues the best for killing priority adds? Definitely not.

Literally nothing in the game is "hard."

Sure, sure, that's why everyone clears mythic raids in the second reset.

Fair, but stacking an obnoxious amount of mechanics with extremely tight DPS windows is a little silly. It's only hard by a matter of numbers. 2 people dead and the whole raid wipes until they outgear the encounter. Even if 18 people played nearly perfectly.

Yes big shocker to everyone, all you need to succeed in mythic is awareness of mechanics and skill at executing them, we are baffled and surprised by that revelation. That's like saying "medicine is only by a matter of remembering facts". Technically not incorrect, but also such a gross oversimplification it might as well be a non-statement.

Are you purposely twisting things in order to be overly condescending, or does it just come naturally for you?

They very clearly said 2 deaths, and you grossly oversimplified it to "just do mechanics " just before complaining about oversimplifications.

I stopped trusting sims in 8.0 because it varies heavily on fight duration and amount of targets

I'm not sure what you mean. I was criticizing THEM for oversimplifying it to "just do mechanics", which is obviously an inane statement to make - hence my comment on medicine. Saying mythic is "only" hard because it's about everyone doing everything perfectly - while technically true - is about as helpful as the loading screen tip of "keep own HP above 0, reduce enemy HP to 0", and about as deep.

Spriests were considered broken ever since voidform was introduced, a broken and unwanted mechanic. Surrender to madness only broke the game even further.

Spriests became a niche spec, you were OP on 2-3 target fights but were horrible in M+ and single target.

sure sure now take away methods/limits extreme class stacking and preparing by doing 100 splitruns buying 100000 boes etc.

they will still clear the raid fast but not in 2 weeks

Dude you are lacking reading comprehension or you quote wrong person.

Remember the days when blizzard didnt nerf X just because it was good, because at the end of the day having your BUFF UI Look like this that it basically prevented any sort of Melee/Ranged/Spec/Class stacking? Sure maybe 1 too many paladins and maybe 1 too many death knights, but Aura Mastery, Divine Sac and Deathgrip were all incredibly strong on this fight.

MYTHIC DIFFICULTY WAS A MISTAKE.

BUFF BLOAT WAS A CHECK AND BALANCE ON CLASS STACKING.

UTILITY HAD VALUE.

YOU DIDNT NEED TO SPEND HOURS FARMING RANDOM ROLL STATS JUST TO BE GOOD ENOUGH TO BE A LEADING EDGE PLAYER.
