How are shadow priests in WotLK?
Hi there!
After a few years of taking a break from WoW, i want to get back to playing and as always whenever i a new expansion comes or i change servers/realms, i have trouble choosing what to play. Currently, i'm debating whether i should play retri pala or shadow priest.
I've played paladin in the past and i pretty much know all the ups and downs for playing them. As for shadow priest, i don't know much and i could use some info on them before i make my decision.
Are they fun to play? Are they hard to play? Are there a lot of them on the Icecrown realm? How do they compare to other classes in PvE and PvP?
So you understand my way of thinking when picking a class, i will elaborate on reasons why i ask these questions. First i want to have fun but not have to be super focused on my dps rotation. Example of this i feral druid for me. I really enjoy playing them but their dps rotation is really punishing if you make a mistake. Why i ask for their approx number on the realm is so i know how much is the class needed. Example is paladin, who is from what i remember, one of the most played classes and therefore there is a lot of competition for raid spots and gear drops. Pretty much the question goes, how much is spriest needed in raids and are there a lot of them? And the last question about them in PvE and PvP is because i like doing both pvp and pve and i would like to pick a "balanced" class. When i say balanced, i mean at least that it isn't under performing much compared to other classes. It doesn't have to be the best dps, but that its decent.
What would you recommend for me to choose, for whatever the reason you believe i should pick one over the other. Whether you are an experienced priest player or someone who has never played priest at all, i would like to hear your thoughts about spriest and how you see them.
Thanks in advance :)
