Obviously alot of you noticed, Shadow is -still- inferior to the 2 healing specs in damage dealing while leveling, at least below lv50 or so.
- Discipline gets the awesome Penance (great dps), while Evangelism and Archangel further improve it.
- Holy gets fast Smite/Holy Fire, as well as Holy Word: Chastice - wich does great dmg, specially for an instant, and Disorients.
Shadow gets Mind Flay, an increase in spell damage and 2x crit damage (instead of 1.5x), yet you don't crit much at lower levels...
The DoTs are often wasted and often never get past half their duration.
I find it silly that you are greatly encouraged to ignore certain specs while leveling because they are clearly inferior, but even worse when while there is already a big advantage as a healer in queues, you are also a better dpser in either healing spec than damage spec.
Any thoughts?
Inb4 - Then don't roll Shadow - just give constructive criticism or ignore this thread.
