I really hope they do some tuning before the season starts. It sucks that the hero spec that fits most thematically, and looks the coolest, is so far behind in nearly all content.
Loved the guide! Very thorough. Looks like shadow is back on the menu - Archon all the way for me. I will be dancing on the graves of mind spike and dark ascension, at least for this patch.
@mellowsunset7730 I'm new to retail, haven't played since cata, but I've played shadow all of classic since 2019. So im curious why all the DA hate? I like it more that void eruption just from playing with it, and the wings look really cool. I don't talent into spike at all either and it seems good for flay/torrent Playstyle. Idk 🫡
You know I was really sad void weaver wasn’t very good but after playing with archon I think it’s better gameplay especially since dark ascension shouldn’t exist
Thanks for the awesome overview. :) what is your opinion on the cloth crafted embellishment set that buffs haste or mastery for 30 seconds? It reads super fun but you didn‘t mention it.
Unfortunately it is currently very under tuned and not a suggested craft. Also the haste one by default is healing spells only and to convert it to damage you need a 3rd craft for wrists. There are some bugs with it though so perhaps after fixing those it might be better
Hey I remember you linking a shadowmeld invis weak aura for m+ in s3 and again in s4. do you now have one for TWW s1? btw thank you so much for all the knowledge I was able to hit top 1% m+ with all the info you share within just 1 ssn. pushing for title this ssn!
Definitely makes them closer in raid, only 1-2% in most cases. Question then comes down to if the fight design will work with Entropic Rift and bosses teleporting everywhere. Mythic+ is still heavily leaning Archon once you get into higher push keys tho
i know it’s not super balanced but i kind of don’t mind that voidweaver is better in lower keys. i think playing DA and voidweaver early on will be fun and when you push up you get to swap to VE / archon. DA was already historically better when pugging low pull counts so i’m used to swapping back and forth. should hopefully be balanced one day but i don’t hate the path of trying both
Actually surprised deathspeaker not being default on voidweaver, If i wanna run deathspeaker in order to milk more value from devour matter, for example for the last boss of the raid what talent point should i drop?
Hi guys, how are you living the Shadow Crash target cap ? I'm so sad they nerf priest by this way. Life quality has so much decreased.. We have to DoT every single mob personaly on big pull, that's so frustrating
How do we play when we dont have that much insanity build up? I always find myself now just auto attacking cause everything is on cd and insanity is too low to cast instants. In df with mind spike it was basic build abd spend
If you don’t have anything left to press you should always have Mind Flay to cast. If you have to move you can cast shadow word pain but should never have to auto attack
all they need to do is add some synergy with voidform on voidweaver and we'd be golden :[. Also from my testing archon has way higher single target AND AoE. I don't get it.
Aside from alchemy giving double flasks it really doesn’t matter. There are a few dungeons that give some benefits you could try to cover though: www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveWoW/s/uUWRRf7p41
Dwarf and Night Elf are great for utility, particularly in Mythic+. For DPS you can check out this chart: warcraftpriests.github.io/?talents=ar_vf_cthun_flay_me&sims=racials&fightStyle=Single
I have maimed shadow for so long but it’s such a snooze fest rn I swapped to monk. Not to mention how buggy shadow crash is even the new one they made sucks so bad. And there’s way too many enemies with small health pools like little side adds which you have no time to dot up. Painful

Id rather play archon than play Dark Acension tbh
I agree with the theme and looks, but i realy dont like how voidweaver plays
@@avogel7937literally I’m glad it’s better (even though voidweaver is cool and all) because I will not talent dark ascension no matter what
There is still a ton of tuning left to be done. Itll be fine.
I think the archon halos look super cool and id prefer playing vf over da, so im happy archon is winning.
Good to see you still at it bud ( Klowded, if you remember from Classic ).

Sick video. Thank you for taking the time to do these guides, and for going over it in so much detail. So helpful.
Glad to help!
Seconded!
Thank you for all of your hard work man, much appreciated!
Fantastic info! Thank you so much for all the work you do!
Thank you for all your work Publik!
Thank you so much for another super helpful video.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the video and all you do for the spriest community
Thank you! Very informative and clear.
Thanks again Publik!!! You're the best homie :)
its a happy day when shadow daddy releases a new video
Best Guide 😊 cant get enough thank you ❤
Happy to hear that!

So far i dont think one has been made yet, hopefully the one from last season is updated!
i was lost until this moment
By “low keys” when talking about voidweaver, what key range does that mean? Appreciate the videos man, super helpful!
It's very relative to your group. If you are chain-pulling packs or they have started living 60s+ then its probably in the high key range.
If the entropic rift was spawned at the point of your target it would be much better
Does the 20% buff to void blast do much in terms of evening out the 2 hero talents?
Definitely makes them closer in raid, only 1-2% in most cases. Question then comes down to if the fight design will work with Entropic Rift and bosses teleporting everywhere.
Mythic+ is still heavily leaning Archon once you get into higher push keys tho
pew pew good shit on our way
Why isn’t the extension of entropic rift linked to devouring plague? Putting it on MB makes no sense
Tnx for the great work .

You can drop yshaarj but yeah just not a lot of point options with voidweaver unfortunately
Hi guys, how are you living the Shadow Crash target cap ? I'm so sad they nerf priest by this way. Life quality has so much decreased.. We have to DoT every single mob personaly on big pull, that's so frustrating
Takes a bit to gather mobs so at least you can do some manual DoTing then
Take the best in salt list with a grain of slot
Had to leave it in it was too funny
Publik you forgot to mention mind vision
thanks for the video
You're welcome!
Ty! (For the algorythm)
I hate Void Torrent with all my soul. How much damage do I lose by swapping it with other capstone nodes?
Quite a lot. You can’t play voidweaver at all without it and archon likes it for the insanity gen. Roughly 5-8% loss.
Good job
Thanks!
babe, wake up. a new publik video just dropped!
How do we play when we dont have that much insanity build up? I always find myself now just auto attacking cause everything is on cd and insanity is too low to cast instants. In df with mind spike it was basic build abd spend

Do you stream the next days? Id like to leave my gifted subs there
I decided to take a vacation and do a LAN event with friends this week so no streaming until Saturday!

Lame they don't want us playing voidweaver
It’s rather stupid that Voidweaver doesn’t even utilize Void Form.
you da man!
What’s the best professions?

whats the best race?

Void elf to not be delayed

Shadow absolutely blows.. I hate it this expansion.
This intro is terrible bro, it gives a jump scare every time. please change/remove this audio, thank you 🙏
Zero gameplay. People really need a web page read to them?
He wrote everything on that web page. he’s just explaining his thought process - which is also very helpful imo! 😄
I'm sure he'll take your feedback into consideration and provide coloring books for you next time.
Don't watch it if you don't like it
Rotation guides, meh. Hekili ftw.
If they make an addon to detect helili users, it’d be nice to avoid people who don’t know how to play their class
@@kingd1486 Reeeeeee - Im better than you cause I've got no addons - reeeee! Hekili's no different from using WeakAuras, except its way more accurate.
