[Hinastorm]

Dem shadow/disc nerfs.

[Alessandro Silva]

Damn, they hit shadow hard with the nerf bat!

[G3 Ghost]

Dem shadow/disc nerfs.

Good lord. That's a pretty big hit.

[Crysis]

What, spec that looks fun & is actually competing for once? Cant have that.

[Shandalar]

What about learning to read?

The shadow priest core pasive of 32% less dmg has been changed into +20% periodic damage, so the spells have to be tuned around that. It is not a nerf, its a buff.

[Shedaar]

Are these Shadow Priest/Disci Priest nerfs?

I'm not sure if I'm reading correctly but the Aura that was in "-" has been also reset?
Can some dataminer help here?

It's still a HUGE nerf for Disc, since the only damage buffs they get are to Sear and SW:P with nerfs to everything else. Unless they buffed all their other spells, Disc is going to drop from A tier to B tier for anything not Mythic raiding.

[Isheria]

There are no changes for disc whatsoever, the shadow aura has been reset to 0 from -32 so all shared abilities had to be re-adjusted.

[Inukashi]

Aren't these the changes that were on the pre-patch ptr already?

[Cyi]

It's still a HUGE nerf for Disc, since the only damage buffs they get are to Sear and SW:P with nerfs to everything else. Unless they buffed all their other spells, Disc is going to drop from A tier to B tier for anything not Mythic raiding.

And the problem is? Not every class can be A tier.

[Shedaar]

And the problem is? Not every class can be A tier.

I think it's a problem for priest healing community since Holy already sucks a lot and if disc is nerfed then it's a heavy hit and 2 dead specs

[Appelgren]

Nice to see shadow nerfs. Probably won’t be enough tho. Insane af atm. More nerfs to subtlety is needed for sure and some on warriors too.

I did a lot of bug reports on the PTR regarding vanilla professions. Scaling issues with vanilla food and also some potions only healing for 68 hp at level 31.

Maybe people should be a lot more concerned about this than some priest stuff?

Maybe Blizzard should go back to a "when it's ready" philosophy because this expansion is looking like a massive train wreck on top of the already massive train wreck the game currently is.

Have you seen how bad the leveling for alts is going to be? They have created then scrapped so much now it feels all weird and broken with the threads of fate stuff.

Please feel free to explain how this is looking like a trainwreck because I fail to see it. And I dont understand the exagurrated narrative is coming from because it doesn't reflect reality.

Shadowlands is still in beta and a lot is going to change. There is no reason to panic or assume anything about the expansion at this point. Most issues we are seing can be fixed in a day.

The negativity you are coming with is just sad.

[Sorshen]

Shadowlands is still in beta and a lot is going to change.

Please, lol. Maybe first week/raid week/mytic raid week.

What? Mind Blast for Disc went from 144% to 97.92% coefficient PLUS an additional 19% damage and healing reduction through the Disc passive. SW: D got nerfed all around for Disc. The SW:P and Mind Sear buffs in the passive come out to be roughly equal with the coefficient nerfs. So you get two nerfs and two about equals...how is that mostly buffs for Disc?
