hey GC, how was vegas?
anyway, how do you predict shadow priests will do in ulduar from an overall dps standpoint and from a scaling standpoint wth gear

what are the future plans, if any, for the hard working pve shadow priest

From your new topic, I pictured a shadow priest wearing a little space helmet that had robots vacuuming its retro cool pad.

I think Shadow priests will be in a good place. For PvP they got a much-needed tweak to Psychic Horror, but I won't spoil it here.

For PvE, I think the changes will help their scaling in the long run. I suggested in another thread that we might need to make their Shadow spells crit at 200% in order for the Shadowform change to actually be a buff. But we are fully committed to having the dots crit. The game just works better that way.

The Shadow Ulduar 4 piece set bonus is pretty sweet too.
