Hey people. Hope you have all had a good start to the week :)
As some may know (or should now) the new Expansion pack is due for relase (mine already Pre-Ordered!!!) at some point next year, though a date hasnt properly been put forward.
Since the release of TBC Shadow Priests have become more Viable in both PvP and PvE. But with the increased CAP to 80, new Talents points and Skills may give Shadow Priests the buff that I believe they are in need of.
The question I am putting forward to you Priests are, what new things would you like in the new expansion. Nothing stupid. No, "Being able do duel wield swords and wear Plate"...because I can say, Its not going to happen.
Personally I would like more CC. AT the moment all we have is Shackle Undead, which in PvP is worthless when a MS Tauren Warrior is critting you for 3k. Also BlackOut, which is good, but its low 10% Proc Rate and its shorth 3second Stun is pretty worthless, though has saved my Priest a few times.
At the monent my SPriest, slowly gearing up, is getting better every day. In the past I have taken out well geared Mages (Silence FTW), Hunters and Palladins reasonably easily. Shamans and Druids, usually healing spec, can be hard to take down, and becomes a Mana Battle (Which is why VT can come in so handy).
Rogues and Warriors, well geared can take me down 1v1 like a fat boy on a teacake. Its an ugly sight.
Most Rogues will pop up with a cheap shot, take a lump out of my NE Priest bottom, kidney shot before stun ends, and then finish me off with a BackStab or Evis. If I fear, they trinket it. Just not working. I can heal in between stuns but all it does it prolong the inevitable. A Rez at the graveyard :(
MS Warriors just hit too hard. And with Movement Imparing effects, Im a Gonna. The only way out is to keep running, bubbling and healing and hope that someone will come to my screams of help.
No, Im not talking about classes being OP. Its just that I believe SPriests need some form of CC, like all the other squishies have, apart from Fear, which is either resisted, or trinket'd most of the time.
Well thats what I think. Maybe a few more Offensive spells. At the moment apart from Mind Flay, we really only have Mind Blast and SW:D...a little bit pathetic in my eyes?
Correct me if im wrong people. And lets hear what you think Priests should get in the up-coming expansion!
Thanks for reading!
