I have mained shadow for so long until this exp I swapped over to monk. Shadow feels so Fkn boring tbh all of the priest specs are feeling like shit idk what there thought process was. But having a blast with monk so eh is what it is
And the icecream on the cake was how buggy shadow crash still is to this day that piece of shit spell, oh they made another option that you can just cast on target? Yeah and it only seems to apply dots to like 2 targets max and Goodluck if they are moving lmfao absolute joke of an ability that it moves so slowly is garbage and they STILL haven’t changed it. Goes through the Fkn floor casts on the roof whole thing is a joke
Godsend of a video, shadow for me has always been fun, but we do struggle to keep up with other classes atm. so after a normal raid night with casuals, I parsed in the 70-80 range. After watching this I went from 530k single target on dummy no buffs, to stable 600k after 5min! cheers
The ramp up for open world content for SP is soul destroying. It’s my main I’ve completed every quest in WW. I decided to level my Fury Warrior while I waited for S1. Wow, it’s light night and day when it comes to how fast the questing was, just destroying packs of mobs. My SP destroyed Rares just as fast, but the cds are long and also have long cast times. It feels more of a grind. Both Archon and VW seem lacklustre on anything except single target. The cd of Shadow Crash is annoying too. Just too long. Other classes can spread dots much faster. I feel like we need some QoL love.
After the first raid night... this has to be the worst shadow has felt since Cata. I'd rather have Legion/BFA voidform back, and really hated it at the time. Being punished for downtime sucked, but at least it managed to pop off. Chaining a bunch of weak CDs feels really bad. Getting a strong Ascendancy Serum from delves didn't help, that trinket cast time on top of Halo, Eruption, & Torrent made it feel like all the ramp-up time was spent ramping instead of doing numbers, and spent way too much time capped on MB charges trying to get everything else out of the pipeline.
Same, I was holding out hope all week that single target raiding was gona shine for spriest, what a total let down. Spriest sucks hard this season and the set bonus has nothing to do with either hero talent. Disappointing.
Generating insanity out of cooldowns is tough, the key thing there is to not spam Devouring Plague ASAP, you want to hold it until the DoT is about to expire or you are about to cap on Insanity when you are outside of cooldowns. This should help with uptime.
Love the content Publik. Thanks to you I'm actually getting decent at Shadow Priest. Got a trinket question hopefully you can answer. Right now I'm running Quickwick Candlestick because unlucky drops. Should this be popped at normal trinket timing or offset when lust ends to avoid dr on haste gains?
why are we taking psychic link in pure single target? Am i missing something? the talent only transfers dmg to other target with VT activ right? i tested it against a dummy and atleast in details it doesnt get listed.
Short answer is it doesn't do anything in single target, we just take it because there isn't anything else to take for DPS. If you are in a pure single target situation and want to add Silence or some other utility point you absolutely can. But usually these utility points are only useful when there are more targets/fights with adds.
My UI won't show the more than 2 purple arcs for Mind Flay Insanity procs. When you got to 3 procs it stacked 2 on one side. Any ideas how to make that happen?
@@Publikwow I was using your WA from the wago link but i cant find the 2 extra surge proc one edit: apperently the link showed me DF sorted so that caused me not to find em. woops.
I feel like mind devourer is almost completely useless with only 1 point. Keeping mindblast on CD, with 1 point in mind devourer, I had 2 procs of MD across 4 normal bosses. I find that even with 10% chance I get significantly more procs of it. Not sure if it's just the way the bones are rolling or if it's bugged, but 5% chance is just far too low. For me, if you don't have 2 in mind devourer, then it's not worth having 1.
From a sim perspective that’s what it prefers but the point alternatives aren’t far behind by any means so go for what you think is valuable. Short fights especially tough to judge some of these things
Spriest is C tier but can still do well if you solidify your rotation. I was able to out DPS arcane mage + fury warrior + rogues in heroic. Don't give up we are still good.
Even thought I don't raid, I'll comment for the algorithm. Thanks for all you do for us SP mains.
Publik gives us shadow mains this one dark place to feel home at. Thanks for the thorough and detailed content. :)
New intro music?! I miss the old banger - also glad that voidweaver isn't too far behind, I really like the visuals and feel
feel is absolute fucking garbage.
I hate that Archon is better and easier to play than Voidweaver. It's so boring visually and thematically compared to VW.
I really wanna know who asked to be a purple strobe light? 😂
Jokes aside, i wholeheartedly agree.
Archon strangely better for Shadow…
VW strangely better for Disc…
Big sigh
Its better by barely 1%, u guys are such snowflakes

I genuinely wish void torrent had a shorter cast, it actually feels BAD to cast during voidform.

Thank you as a new SP i enjoy this alot.

They completely ruined shadow I’m so glad I changed to monk as soon as I got to lvl 80 why the fk does it feel so damn bad wow
You make it look so simple... I feel like a headless chicken hitting anything shiny when i play my SP ...
definitely playing spriest in raid thx for the tips and tricks would love to see more keep coming>
Good timing.. tysm for this.. it's raid night.. woot. LET'S GO!!
Keep up the good work. You rock
Enjoy!
Agreed that the new intro sounds like you're about to watch the news. Who thought this was a good idea.
Question what is the blue hand with the pinky and pointer finger up next to scream? i don't see it anywhere in my spell book
I do not know what you are talking about, could you send a message on discord with a screenshot?
Vampiric embrace?
While playing Archon, I struggle to generate insanity when out of cooldown (e.g., no Nova, no VE). What can I do to improve?
Generating insanity out of cooldowns is tough, the key thing there is to not spam Devouring Plague ASAP, you want to hold it until the DoT is about to expire or you are about to cap on Insanity when you are outside of cooldowns. This should help with uptime.
How can I set it so that I can see all 4 stacks of Mind Flay? I only see 2, one on the left and one on the right. I mean the spell alerts
Try this :) wago.io/DNGkeaLy5

Good question! This can be used with Power Infusion as normal :)

How do you make the 3rd charge of insanity place a 3rd ( ) around you?
That is in my weak aura pack for shadow priest! Linked in the description
@@Publikwow thank you

Excited to raid tonight! We are so back (we never left tho)
Why do you havee mind spike in the Visual but in ur shown talents, you dont have it in the tree for voidweaver
Voidweaver can play with either! Doesn’t really matter. Sorry for the confusion there I just didn’t have much nerubar footage for voidweaver flay
M+ guide released to non-members when?
Tomorrow!

Só best os archon our void weaver?
Archon is preferred
Is it just me or did he not actually say the opener rotation
Smexy guide dood
I wish priests had more love. I feel like they barely gave us anything.
gj as always
Thanks!
need those WAs 😅
Should be linked in the description! Let me know if something’s missing
I miss the old intro :( ngl, the new one sounds like I'm about to watch the news or something :'D
Let’s goooo
Shadow priest chads we keep winning
how?
Love spriest, but i‘m getting kicked/declined in raids just because i‘m playing spriest
Archon 🤮 despite the choices, spriest is still C-tier. It will largely be dumped in favor of better specs
Spriest is C tier but can still do well if you solidify your rotation. I was able to out DPS arcane mage + fury warrior + rogues in heroic. Don't give up we are still good.
