Either Shadowpriests should have some sort of kiting ability or they should have some sort of Toughness ability that allows them to take a hit.

I think it would be nice to have a talent that increases the melee reduction and shadow dmg benefits of shadowform. It would be an effect that is activated by taking damage or being crit, allowed to stack, and has a duration so it is not overpowered. Similar to the way Focused Will works but specifically tied to shadowform.

Get your defense over 470, your resilience over 300 and dodge over 30%

Sure, it's your $14.95 a month to play as you want, but in a group it's our $59.80 and we think you're retarded.

Maybe being able to use Fear Ward while in Shadow Form would help? Yeah, I like this idea, we'll roll with it in the next patch.

That sounds too powerful, you'd better make it so shackle undead can't be used in shadowform to compensate.

Nice! I love it....

Never wait around on healer mana in a PUG. Just keep pulling despite the healer crying, "OOM" over and over again, like some kind of backwards cow. They are just doing it for attention. -Zinovya

Being feared is pretty nominal. Priests are a pretty even matchup for locks already, I think it is the overall survivability that needs help.

Something along the lines of making silence a learned skill and replacing it with something like curse of exhaustion to help kiting or running away would be pretty hot.

I can hear all the old-style Fearward PvE Shadow Priests groaning.

What bizarro land do you live in?

Fear, drain mana, fear, drain mana, spell lock, drain mana, death coil, drain mana, fear, drain mana.

How will that help them against the classes they have the most trouble with? Like Warriors, Rogues.

Fear War = The Shadow Priest fears one target, which, when coming within 5 yards of all friendlies spreads the fear effect. If dispelled, the dispeller is then feared, and the spread effect continues... effectively making this a FEAR WAR!@%~

Although this doesn't fix shadow's survivability (we don't only die to fears...), it is certainly a nice change (and one that makes sense). Fear ward should have always been a discipline spell, like all of our other non-healing defensive spells (except abolish disease, sigh). I mean, the discipline tree has a talent directly related to defending against fears...how was this not a discipline spell?

Good start. Now look at shadow resilience, make that a PvP defensive ability, and it will go a long way. Thanks!

P.S. Might want to change "Fear War" to "Fear Ward" =)
