Shadow Orbs and Madness

[Chasingthosegains1111]

Would love to see Shadowpriests one day get a core mechanic option at the start of the Tree Talents, choosing between

//Devouring Plague + Shadow Orbs // and //Original Void Form + Void Bolt //

Let all the priests have their ideal playstyles.

You're absolutly right

They way it is now, it feels like Voidweaver is catering towards the Void fantasy while Archon is more about the old Shadow. With that being, it'd be nice to see your idea being explored through that.

I'm a die hard fan of the Void fantasy and I think we can all be happy if both options are present and not one stepping over the other.

I miss my ravens.

Ravenspeaker would have been cool. That's the kind of thing I'd want from class skins, which the hero talent system obviously isn't and never was intended to be. It is just a weak compromise they gave us because skins would be too expensive. Sadness.

Ye the ravens were way cooler and last expansion we still had them pop with a talent, using dp. The toy was a huge downgrade of the glyph we once had.

If shadow would have gotten ravenspeaker I would have rolled it so hard. Despite knowing shadow sucks in pvp and I do pvp.

As I keep saying, they should just add a proper Void class because at this point the Void vs older Shadow themes situation is just dividing the Spriest community.

Nah, glyphs my friend. Most people just want the old visuals. This could easily be achieved with glyphs.

Couple decent ideas, but in general shadow could use revamp and use all of these ideas.

As an oldschool shadow priest, I always hated the fact legion pigeon holded shadow into this 'void'nonsense. I liked the older vibe better.

Oldschool shadow priests as you call it were the ones who asked for Voidform to be destroyed and Devouring Plague came back even though it makes zero sense thematically for the Void theme, not to mention the unique Insanity mechanic got scrapped....

You call this "void nonsense", for me that's the main reason I came back to the game for Legion and they took it away two expansion later. How can Void fans and "oldschool fans" share a class then when the difference goes further than just cosmetic glyphs?

What I hope is that they do the same thing they did with DH, add a new class that carries all the experimental elements from Shadowpriest like DH carried some of the MoP Warlock stuff that also divided the Warlock community back then.

[-aiko-]

I prefer the void class fantasy that we have now, but there is clearly a group of players that miss the old style...it was a miss to not allow some kind of option for that with the hero talents.

Ye, the insanity in legion gpt me bored with it really fast, I didnt like it. It also was to hard to balance which was a problem in the end. I like dp much better, ye sure could have called it something else. I even liked shadow orbs more..

This void theme is not much of my liking, the theme got pushed, without exploring other priesthoods. Again, this could simply be an option through glyphs. You like void, sure here, glyph into it or raven or orbs what ever. Dont make it difficult.

This is what I mean, for example when Demolock got the MoP rework, the community was split between the old school locks and the ones who wanted it to go all-in for Demon Hunter. Then Legion answered with the new class.

Now we are heading to Midnight and Shadowpriest is suffering from the same division so there is hope.
