Guys as someone returning to the game after 8 or so years could you help me with some dps issues? I saw another thread but its not mythic+ or Raiding or absolute dps min/maxing, but just open world and in just basic dungeons. Shadow Priest was always my main but as someone who left in panda time, the class has changed a lot. I'm not finding it fun, I find the mechanics clunky, I can't seem to weave voidform into any sort of rotation.
You can assume I'm familiar with multi dotting etc and I've experimented with various builds (misery vs Sn etc etc) but as an example of the problem.
I did the necrotic wake dungeon yesterday, tank was a lvl 51 Blood DK, I'm a 60 SP ilvl 145. Tank was out dpsing me, and the other DPS were double or triple. There was a few calls of "slacker" etc, a bit light hearted but I felt it.
I was finding I'd start a fight with maybe a main MOB and a few trash, dot up the main mob then try to mind sear and searing nightmare on that but the whole pack is falling so fast before I can get anything rolling. Equally, I try to weave in a void eruption or something and the trash are done before its finished and I've busted a cooldown for the next fight. Single target fights are not so bad I dont think.
As i said, I'm not a hardcore raider so I dont expect to top the meters, just wondering if there is something basic I'm doing wrong? Any SP who found they were struggling this xpac and then had a Eureka moment? Is AOE just a problem at the moment?
Any help gratefully appreciated.
