Q u o t e:
Regarding spec viability we would definitely like to see every spec at least partially viable, that doesn't mean however that each spec will be equal in a very cutthroat PvP environment like the arenas. A prot warrior or shadow priest or what have you should though be able to jump into a battleground or arena and be able to do something with some small amount of success. How much success that should be is really the question, but our general philosophy is that we're ok with some specs not being as viable as others, we sort of have to be.
Are you serious?
So that this mean that since I like DoTs and Shadow Damage, I have to reroll a warlock because I can't PvP as well as everyone with my Shadow priest?
Even if I wanted to PvP I'm forced to respec to something I don't like, something that doesn't fit my style at all. Being a Healer.
So what, does this mean I'm now forced to just PvP with my rogue and just PvE with my shadow priest? That's bull##@!. Sure I knew shadow priests weren't as viable in PvP as everyone because I've killed enough shadow priests to know but that still didn't keep me from rolling one myself.
If you will never fix shadow priest's survivability then just give every single shadow priest out there that PvPs the option to switch their priest into a warlock or give them an option to switch their shadow PvP Gear into healing PvP gear and respec Disc because what's the point of keep being a shadow priest in PvP if you're not going to fix us or even look at us.
Just that brought my hopes down completely. You just compared us to a prot warrior in PvP... I can't believe it.
