In Legion, you could cheese that meter so bad on so many fights. I know of a few, that if I were still playing one here in BFA, that I could cheese the fk out of as well. They are no where near helping to "get the job done" during these bosses, but I get to show everyone how big my meter is. Byoingggg!

Seriously, here is the flaw with the class. Even Bellular or w/e says it in his video. The difference between someone that is skilled at the class versus the person that tops out skill level wise at normal difficulty is night and day. They keep adjusting the class, and how its played cause the top 2% of people playing the class dwarf other peoples DPS. The second top 10% of people that play the class, play at a level that matches the top 2% of people playing other classes, and may even do better. I feel bad for the Spriest class - In legion, it was organic and graphically cool as fk. They needed to neuter Surrender to Madness and stop there. Instead, they kept S2M in a "milder" state, and started "adjusting" other parts of the class so they could keep S2M.

The Spriest forum has vocally spoke out about how to fix the class, (Funny enough, Bellular says in that same video about how "his ideas" would fix that class, but the forum community had been talking about those same ideas far before he made his lil' video. Lame ass fker.) but no, thats not how Blizzard works. They dont take feed back, they do things their own way. But fk, if I had my head so far up my ass that I only looked at the WoW forums - I'd ignore that shit too.

Surrender to madness just needs to be removed. There is no way you can ever balance a talent like that where it won't either be totally useless and counter productive to take or wildly overpowered in the hands of the highly skilled. There is just nothing you can do to make that talent work in a healthy way even though it seems like a very iconic thing to do.

By can't catch a break you mean they finally won't be top 3 in raid dps after two full expansions?

No, I mean they are still wonky as fuck and almost nothing was done to fix that. They get to spend perpetuity either being OP and lame to play or completely wonk while being weak. From what I've read, priests mostly just want something that doesn't feel terrible to play.

The road to to fixing spriest begins with removing void form.

spriest is the perfect example to me of.. made for raids and nothing else. Have you ever tried to do world content as a spriest? feels like straight garbage

at least tbc spriest was a mana battery for the group it was in. Vampiric embrace is fantastic for what it is I guess.

Ugh no kidding. It just is constantly ramping up to do stuff and soloing rarely gets there or by the time you are ready to explode your targets basically dead anyway so there is no payoff. It only feels viable in a raid where things live long enough to actually get the flow of the spec moving.

That's how affliction felt as well. It was my favorite spec in TBC just rotting things but now it's 80% ramp up and then the thing dies and it would have been faster to just stand there and drain the thing with your pet beating on it.

The warlocks all kinda suffer from their big moments are long cool down pet drops which while fun you just don't use much if you are not in a raid/harder dungeon and only come up every 2-3 minutes.

When I was playing world content wasnt so bad. You can pull multiple mobs without too much hassle. And for the tougher mobs there was always the possibility to switch to disc and not ever die while grinding it down. But the change in rotation due to void form is fucking aids and the play style past the first 20 seconds is fucking trash.

But that was the beauty of the spriest in Legion. If you sat down on a beefy elite, you could melt it down fairly quickly. If you had a bunch of small shit, you gather it all up, put your dots on one, kill that fker and it jumps to all the surrounding mobs. You did your AoE Sear and then tendrils from your artifact jumped up and helped. Shit died incredibly quick, w/o the need to ever do anything that would be "extra". But that "extra" shit was there for raiding, and it all.. just.. worked.

I dunno, the change in rotation every 20 seconds was never a good thing imo.

I'm not sure I want to devote the time to playing the game to learn Heroic of the current raid. Going to just purchase a loot run through it randomly, unless one of you is associated with a group of friends that'll do it?

Feels like full blown surrender to the "expansion is shit, get through it while you can!" kind of thing.

Well, the Corona bump went to classic, with some of their servers having 5+ hour queues. That must have stung.

It's nice, and I'll get to unlock flying and/or some allied races. But, at the same time: I played classes during my time in in Classic to Burning Crusade and WotLK: feral druid, shadow priest, and resto/enhance shaman. And all of those were fucked up by Blizzard, with only shammy specs looking to have a brighter future.

The beta battle.net client is pretty slick. It's a nice upgrade over the old one.

for what it's worth, resto & enhance are fantastic right now, enhance especially with gear you just become the burst man. The main reason resto isn't played very much is cause it doesn't do very much damage at all compared to the other healers, which has become vastly more important than it was in the past.

Feral is iffy, it's my primary alt and I still think it feels good to play but I enjoy playing bleeds in the same way I enjoy poisons on ass rogue. It doesn't feel very great in dungeons though, that's for sure, but the rest of the content has been alright
