    Not technically. All of our DoTs will hit for the same amount as before, but I remember Blizzard stating that they changed the functionality of Mind Flay from DoT to direct hits with a channel time, like Arcane Missiles, when they allowed it to crit. So, the damage on:

    SW:P, VT, the DoT of Devouring Plague will stay the same

    Mind Flay, Mind Blast, SW, the direct damage of DP and Shadowfiend damage will go down.

    The resiliance change to reduce all damage is really nice though when combined with the passive -15% damage bonus from being in Shadowform, but we still lack any CC, escape abilities, interrupts and snares that keep people away from us.

    edit:

    And then you got an ability to escape melee. So all we have to do is wait for the next expansion and we will get a basic tool that all other ranged classes have to survive. Joy.

    Actually it affects us the exact same amount as everyone else. They just nerfed our damage a few months before they nerfed everyone elses.

    If they halfed Paladin healing and damage by 50%, and then a few months later they nerfed all the other classes by the same amount, would you be happy about it, or would you be annoyed that you were left gimped for months before they actually implimented it for the other classes?

    Yeah take engineering too and you can have frost(nova) grenades! And of course the nets and grenades are useable in arena, that's why everyone goes tailoring and engineering for arena, because it offers so much more CC.

    NOT.

    And on the topic of MF being a dot: I remember clearly that at the start of Lich King, MF would only remove a charge of DKs bone shield at the cast, not at each tick, because at least for that MF was still considered a dot. And it could crit. Dunno if they changed that recently though.

    Those are handy in battlegrounds since you can use them while Dispersed.

    It is a little depressing that we need to pick a specific profession in order to get something other classes get for free, and we are not able to use them in Arenas, but still.

    Aether, where did you get the nifty TTGL pixel-art sig?

    oh jeah Shadow´s need that was wl´s have 6k dmg and a silence this where a n1 push for shadow sorry for
    my english i am from austria *gg*

    Re: No PvP Spriest buffs in 3.2...

    First of all, you mean a 6k damage crit, not hit. Second of all, you should get some PVP gear to reduce the damage of crits, as well as the chance of being affected by them.

    Re: No PvP Spriest buffs in 3.2...

    Aaah, I misunderstood. You are talking about the silence effect on the Warlock spell, Unstable Affliction, I think.

    I agree, a Silence or a Stun when Vampiric Touch is dispelled would really help us out a lot, especially against Retribution Paladins who simply keep spamming Cleanse whenever they have a break in their rotation.

    all i see in this thread is whine, 3.2 WILL be a huge buff to shadow, shadow has always worked very good in a low dmg enviroment. Yes shadow needs alot of fixes but 90% of all players on this forums that whine are usually just terribble and cannot realise that it might be them that suck not the class.

    You really have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, do you?

    Please explain how a caster with zero ways to escape melee and one defensive cooldown that silences you is supposed to be "fine".

    Oh, and here are some statistics for you:

    In 2v2, 2000 rating, the total percentage of Shadowpriests as opposed to other specs: 10%
    In 2v2, 2200 rating, total percentage of Shadowpriests as opposed to other specs: 11%

    3v3, 2000 rating. Shadowpriests? 10%
    3v3, 2200 rating. Shadowpriests: 11%

    5v5, 2000 rating. Shadowpriests, 21%
    5v5, 2200 rating. Shadowpriests, 23%

    You can check all of these yourself at http://www.realmhistory.net/arena-st...specs/5v5.html

    When 90% of the players who play your class avoid a spec like the plague, it is not "fine".

    Blackout 3/3
    Gives your damaging shadow spells a 10% chance to cause the next Shadowword: Death spell you cast to stun the target for 2 seconds.

    No wait, that's what mages got when they removed their randomprocstun talent.
