Comment by RenutsYou have the wrong Conquerors banner showing here. It should be this one: Conqueror's BannerComment by kaleestrazaStill no reworked Night Fae druid, ripComment by GrimoraNice! Glad to see the Necrolord stuff for Druids get a buff. <3Comment by Amandor2012Still no reworked Night Fae druid, ripComment by RaybezeAll the priest covenant abilities need a complete rework for shadow imo.

They can still be utility based, that's fine.... But as they are currently they don't really add anything to shadow.

And they feel jank for the most part.Comment by RenutsAll the priest covenant abilities need a complete rework for shadow imo.

I just do not want a 4min cooldown for boring static effect :/ - It does have a cool visual, but if it ends up being deemed the worst maybe they should redo the ability and give the effect as a glyph.Comment by zenterusMore nerfs to blessing of seasons... I know they are trying to make Ashen Hallow more appealing but this 4 minute CD with no way of moving it is the direction they should be looking into.Comment by MaximadWelp this just basically solved my covenant choice as Warrior off to Venthyr I go.Comment by EastBStill no reworked Night Fae druid, ripComment by thanos2020I feel like theyre going to keep nerfing blessing of the seasons to the point no one is going to take it due to numerical tuning.

Feels like another case of having an actual meaningful choice but blizz doesnt like it because they know everyone is going to take it.Comment by Hops7The paladin venthyr ability feels so weird being a cast and having a 4 min cdComment by IronymanStill no reworked Night Fae druid, ripComment by Assassini have been giving a lot of feedback for priest. the 3% damage taken reduction is a nice comeback it is definitel better than than luminous barrier or light caress but you know its a flat 3% damage taken reduction.

spirit shell is awesome but replacing it with rapture? why? increase its cooldown but let it be its own spell instead of replacing it with another ability. you just replaced 1 useless talent with another cool useless talent. why do you do this to disc? disc is already suffering from the times when there is no target to damage. and yet you another ability that replace the only ability usable while no enemy is around? GODDDDDDDD. who came up with this idea of replaceing?

we are stuck with a 3% flat damage taken reduction for another expansion (which is way better than lights caress).

you know what you could do?

add plea into last talent row. it heals and applies a "plea atonement" so 1 target have 2x atonement on him. solves spot healing problem of disc priest specially we lose vitality conduit and spirit of preservation.

i would be more happy to have this plea instead of flat 3% damage taken reduction. and even happier if spirit shell was its own spell instead of hijacking the only spell we can use while there is no enemy around.

the worst part is spirit shell is actually cool but since it replaces rapture its uselessComment by arnubs08I'm playing guardian on PTR and there really needs to be a change to the 4th row that gives guardian or feral mighty bash baseline. In looking what resto and balance get (typhoon and ursol's vortex) both can be used in bear form. While if you take feral you get no extra ability. I think that mighty bash should come with feral/guardian and can be used in either form. At this point, bears have lost serious abilities in our toolkit. Normally, I would use typhoon and vortex as a semi grip and now I can't use either if I pick feral, and on top of that I get no additional ability for picking feral. I'm not sure what would replace mighty bash, but there needs to be a good reason to pick feral, right now resto and balance are way better options.
