picture a mind..

now flay that shit
What came first, the spamming or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids reading thousands, literally thousands of posts about anime, 4chan, flaming, goatse and emos. Did I make terrible posts because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I made terrible posts?

Shadow priests are pretty good imo. I still love holy priest more, but shadow priests are good too.

People are pissed being holy as a priest when a druid / paladin / shaman can heal like them or even better than them I guess...

OH HELLO IM MISERY, AM I HELPFUL?

I was shadow till when i stopped a month ago, its a fun class tbh.

Dunno why your saying "everyone is trying to be a shadow priest" is it because they are trying to do dps while in a healing spec?

And as far as other classes doing more heals, thats purely up to how good the player is.

Droods have sick heals though

Well I really love Druid heals and I find they are "better" healers than holy Priests, in equal gear that is, obviously. However, it is true that many Holy Priest are SICK healers and many Resto Druids are LAME healers, thats where it all depends on the player skills more than the class.

I'm thinking about playing my priest once again... He's been sitting on his level 48 for long enough and its time for me to level him up... Its either that, or I go back to my warrior and start leveling him to 80 (level 74 atm)

Playing a shadowpriest is cool (That's what I was leveling before I quit), but I enjoyed healing alot more than being Shadow.

I've played a shadow priest for about 2 years now. I've always found it pretty fun. It's pretty easy to raid with and after this last patch I've been rocking the DPS meters.

Once dual spec rolled around I also went raid disc. For me it's a lot more fun then holy.

Well I had a shadow I had started from early in BC. Most people who rolled shadow after WOTLK just rerolled one because they are former hunters and Warlocks who cant play and Think/Thought that the Shadow tree was just a cool looking Warlock. Most of them are rerolls after WOTLK I guess they couldnt figure out their hunter/shaman rotations and figured Shadow must be the EZ mode answer .. LOL @ them.

Man I love shadow priests. I would have rolled one if my guild didnt have so many. Perfect for Air ganking, and thier DoTS are really strong too. They are getting more buffed in upcoming patches too. icon_biggrin.gif
