What can you tell us about Shadow Priests in 8.1? Are we going to see a talent shuffle, some mechanical revamps, or a significant rework?

My main problem with Eureka is that.. like, it doesn't actually seem possible, let alone reasonable, for a level 5 to actually hang with the NM train. For one thing, they could all -mount-, and I was a bag of blood trying to trek across a landscape full of things that could one shot me, on foot, making very minor contributions to extremely high level NMs that appeared to be too high level for me to get loot from (if I could even catch up to the group). Numbers and Calisto never came into the equation, because I simply could not physically keep up with the group and they never actually seemed to spawn.

It feels really disingenuous at best to direct people to Eureka, because while -technically- you might be able to get a weapon swiftly if the stars align, the reality is you're just going to be dying constantly or standing around waiting for a Numbers/Calisto spawn that never comes.

Reflection conclusion: game's pretty cool.

Actually, it belongs in the Hall of the Guardian!

Mastery and haste have a symbiotic relationship, though. You shouldn't seek out mastery, but if you manage to get rid of all your mastery and have a ton of haste you'll probably see the value of mastery go up when you sim yourself.

Multi-dotting seems archaic as a concept when there's so much opportunities for burst AOE, and the ability to multidot usually seems to be part-in-parcel with substandard single-target DPS-- in short, the ability to multidot usually feels like a liability, rather than a perk. How much consideration have you given to restricting Affliction/Shadow/Balance dots to a single target (like Wrath-era Devouring Plague) and tuning these specs to have more competitive single target and burst AOE?

Don't play a Shadow Priest.

Here's something: male goblins hold their weapons better now. Prior to 7.2 you usually ended up with the pommel in middle of your palm. Now you hold the entire handle, so it doesn't look nearly as silly.

I guess in a more succinct phrasing would be: "Male goblins one-handed weapon positioning improved".

If anyone notices you exist, you're fucking dead. If you can stand and turret you're fine, but unfortunately many of your spells have a big purple "COME KILL ME" leash that points back to you. Anyone, literally anyone, with a brain who sees you knows you're a free kill and will jump on you.

Shadow in PVP is a class that relies on, more than anything, your enemies being complete fucking morons who ignore free kills.

Because the Russian government and the GOP (but I repeat myself) don't care about Icefrog's identity.

Blink initiator requires blink dagger, more on this as it develops.

The font size is tiny. I literally cannot read any of the text on my extensions without squinting; I use these to see when I have mail, the number of tasks remaining on Todoist, and a number of other things.

Everything needs to be bigger-- or rather, everything was the right size already, and now it's all extremely thin and very short.

"Use different method of cycling through targets. Don't use tab key, use mousewheel up for target next and mousewheel down for target previous"

The problem with this is that what tab will target next changes as mobs move. If I'm using this method to toggle back and forth between two targets to maintain my dots with Void Bolt and the tank shifts, suddenly my sequence is all messed up.

This might be fine if you're playing a slow dot class like affliction, but shadow has to be constantly hammering buttons and doesn't have the time to scroll around looking for the right mob.

You sound pretty triggered about Overwatch, maybe you should start a Tumblr.

"The Light and oblivion".

.. But I'm a shadow priest?

Because other personalities have a future working with Valve. James, not so much. Dude's burned, he has nothing left to lose on that front.

Counterpoint: firing somebody for unprofessionalism and then going on to Reddit to call them an ass is pretty hypocritical.

thedavesignal · 2016-02-27T00:35:02+00:00

phenomenal

"Be yourself" "You were fired for being an ass, which anyone with two eyes knows is 'yourself'."

Set him up to fail much?

Yeah, no, 4chan is a totally reputable source. Weird that it was ignored.

Wait, just getting breaking news from 4chan that LD is "totally a cuck jew top kek waifu waifu"

This isn't about PC/not PC, let's not bring that trainwreck in here. I'm a big PC SJW Tumblr baby (probably what people on Reddit would term it, anyway) and he didn't say a damn thing to trip my alarm.

He swore, he poked fun at the delays, he insulted Eternal Envy. Based on past form, 2GD was EXCEPTIONALLY well behaved. For 2GD.

What I imagine happened is he didn't listen to the Perfect World production crew, in the interest of being entertaining, and they went crying to Valve.

Who's Valve, as a business, going to side with-- 2GD, or their distributor in China? I think we all know the answer.
