Just gonna come out and say it

I'm going to test it after dailies are done, just curious to see how bad/good it is.

Just going to come out and say it...

Shadow is poorly designed, in my opinion.

[Rayrife]

It tends to feel that way at the beginning of a new expac, but MoP is already 10x better than Cata, so I would hold out hope that things will get balanced eventually. As for the klunkiness of the rotation, I think its partially intended, Blizz doesn't want static rotations that are easy to predict or macro.

With that said, it doesn't seem that the any of the Devs actually play shadow as a main, and it seems more like the Warlock and Mage Devs just give Shadow all the leftovers that didn't make the cut for their own class.

What pvp set are people choosing? full satin? 4 silk, satin shoulders as before?

AoE is arse.

So True, it's true

Holy Nova did less damage but it at least healed the group. Mana was the biggest concern, however you could probably VT everything and than holy nova away

This hurt me to read as I wouldn't have even considered an Spriest would run with that Glyph >.<

IMO, where your healing is really needed:

- Try to keep out PoM and use PW:S / Renew as needed.
- I use a /focus macro to Void Shift the tank when needed.
- Spec FDCL, spam VT, then BH / FH like none other :D

My wife and I are both 89, and working on quests in the 90 zone. Anytime we go up against something big, I Sheild her, PoM, Renew, then as she is running up, I go into my DoT's, if it gets hairy, a VE on us.

I have hit points where I am at 970% threat and pull off her, but a fade at the last second keeps them moving between us.


Having fun, and that's what matters

I'm loving having psyfiend on hand while questing. Being on a pvp server, there's so many times people have tried to gank my wife or I (usually while she's herbing)... but then all of a sudden I jump in and drop psyfiend when they attack me... its gg.

Tweeted about a level 90 I killed the other night... I noticed he stopped attacking after he cast PW:S. His cursor probably got stuck... poor guy.

Single target - I have about 461 ilvl and can pull between 60-80k single target with my current Mindbender/Twist build. FDCL/DI might be even better, but I hate the way it jumbles my rotation. The Shadow Word: Death activation delay feels broken. Sometimes it takes 2 GCD or more before you can actually use it. You never know if it will proc at 19%, or if you gotta wait till 15% or lower before being able to use it. It's just dumb that we have to use a Major glyph slot to fix something that's not working as intended. I thought 80k single target was pretty badass, until I ran with DK's in greens that could break 100K! WTF Blizzard!

Have you tried to force the Client to update the Mob's Health by using a
Target switch like:

/target player
/targetlasttarget
/cast SW:D

Macro?

At least it feels a little less broken since I use it... but even befor I didn't have the problem that often so it just might be random luck.

[Blackmorgrim]

I don't know if its the case, but it almost seems at though SW:D becomes available the minute you do damage to a target under 20% health.
