@AshesofCreation Been stuck Waiting for Async loading constantly restarting its waiting. Do I need to start and get back in the queue?

@AshesofCreation Waited 2 hours in a queue and finally got in just for the server to crash before I could even pick which direction to go in the starting area and got put back into another 2 hour queue 🥲

@AshesofCreation Finally got my steam account linked and now its saying realms are down but I see streamers playing it. So close yet so far😭

@PantsfaceG @AggrendWoW Couldn’t have said it better myself

@AggrendWoW Please consider modifying VE and VT to NOT be tied to the shadow priests damage. That does 2 things 1) makes balancing output of VE and VT easier 2) allow shadow priest to become a real dps class without having a broken amount of utility youtube.com/watch?v=gOtz5X…

@AggrendWoW Questions about the heat difficulty system for Molten Core. Are there any requirements to access each difficulty or can we choose any of them from the get go? Also, if we are proging on one and find it too hard/too easy, are we locked to that difficulty or can we swap

@AggrendWoW Got a couple logs before servers went down for warrior buffs with a good spread of classes hope it helps and can’t wait for the spriest changes!

We've just posted the last round of class updates before the weekend and I wanted to take a moment to encourage you to form groups on the SoD PTR, take down testwerk, and log your kills. The data we've already gotten has been extremely helpful to us and now that we've introduced world buffs to the PTR its more important than ever. So please if you have the time get in there, try stuff, and help us round things out before the patch so we start in as good of a place as possible! us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/wow-c…

@AggrendWoW Any chance of ptr updates today we lookin at fri-sun? Itchin to get back in and test changes!

I was in training when the Phase 4 video was released and I just got back and saw the Thumbnail. : | Anyway, questionable thumbnail aside; the content is great though... go check it out. youtube.com/watch?v=hcfmeG…

@Wowhead You missed the entire conversation with Aggrend in the classic priest discord after those tweet as it was faster than tweeting back and forth. Suggest making something on that too :D

With so many changes coming in Season of Discovery Phase 4, the community has been discussing Shadow Priest class balance and tuning extensively. #warcraft #SeasonOfDiscovery wowhead.com/classic/news/s…

@AggrendWoW @JessieR84813629 @nohitjerome I understand with the utility we have not being top DPS and I am not advocating for that as I know it isn't happening, but I am concerned that without additional scaling, we will fall right back down to where we are now despite the changes (which are great changes BTW)

@AggrendWoW @JessieR84813629 @nohitjerome I completely understand and agree with the reasoning. However, I am still concerned with the part about priests looking better now than in Phase 3. In phase 2 & 3 Spriests looked amazing before people started getting gear/scaling, and that is what I am concerned about with PTR.

We locked the SoD class folks in a room and they did some cooking. Really looking forward to getting some of these adjustments and fixes into your hands. To manage expectations, we are going to try and get Hunter, Mage, and Warlock changes into your hands with this week's PTR build (arriving in the next day or so, barring some sort of unforeseen issue like we had last week), with some additional adjustments to other classes coming a bit later in the week likely via hotfixes to PTR. When we get the current slate of adjustments out, then we'll look to turn on world buffs on PTR. To further manage expectations, we don't expect the damage numbers to be in their final state for really any class yet. We are trying to focus on gameplay first and then we'll pull the levers on the numbers after things settle a bit. The WCL graph will probably never be perfectly flat in SoD, and we are okay with that, but we'll focus on addressing outliers next. Please try and keep this in mind and remember that we'll be at tuning the numbers for a good bit after we lock down the lion's share of the mechanical changes. I'll close out this long post by saying thank you for your feedback. While we can't/won't implement every individual idea people throw at us, the benefit of the feedback though is that it helps distill the underlying pain points you may have which in turn helps us try to focus our adjustments on the reasons for the feedback. That's the most valuable part of this and I think we are going to end up in an exciting place going into level 60 content (which is also going to be super cool!). Oh also, you might want to keep an eye on the Warcraft youtube channel this week :)

@AggrendWoW @JessieR84813629 @nohitjerome Does this mean that the possibility of adding runes to have as an option to do either more DPS/scale better or bring utility is out of the question?

Perceived is a key word here. To some people, the extra healing (and soon to be mana) from VT/VE isn't needed because they are in solid, efficient guilds and because for their groups the content hasn't been hard enough yet (key word: yet) to "need" the utility. That is their perception of the situation based on their lived experiences. However, that's not true for every group. Many groups do welcome that utility. Personally, I've never been in a raid group yet in SoD that didn't welcome a shadow priest (and I've run with very serious groups and very casual groups). Either because it shored up a debuff weakness or because of the supplemental healing, or both. I understand that some folks want to leave the utility aspect of Shadow Priest behind and the team is keenly aware of that desire, but at this time that "swiss army knife" utility of the class is what they consider to be the core feature of shadow and that design isn't likely to change soon. What we can do, and have tried to start to address in recent PTR builds, is shore up the playstyle and make it a smoother rotation with a more interesting playstyle, which I don't think we've done a great job at addressing until recently in SoD. That's where we are likely to continue invest our energy for Shadow Priest. That doesn't mean you'll do terrible damage, it just means that getting shadow to the top of the damage charts isn't the team's priority. We think that Shadow Priest is a great add to basically any group from a speedrun group all the way down to the most casual of "dad" guilds and that aspect of the class has been mostly successful so far, but definitely not perfect.

@AggrendWoW Are there plans for more updates to the PTR for class changes or just balance tuning? Spriests are excited we are getting some changes and are looking forward to future iterations :D Also, is there any plans to test out the T1 gear to test the tier set bonuses?

@AggrendWoW Will the T1 sets be at a vendor to test? Spriest rotation changes with it so we wanted to know if it is going to b testable?

Build is being updated on SoD PTR now. While you wait, have some update notes: us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/wow-c…

@spar3o @AggrendWoW oh :(

Unfortunately, we are having a bit of a wow team-wide infrastructure issue right now which is preventing us from pushing builds to SoD PTR. We've been working on it all day but I'm not super confident it'll be resolved soon. The teams that are working on it are working super hard on to fix it and will keep doing so, but we might need to wait until tomorrow. Kinda unlucky and disappointing but that's how it goes sometimes. And before anyone asks, no we are not going to post PTR update notes until the PTR is down for maintenance for the update. If we post those too far ahead of the build going live it'll likely confuse people. There's a lot of changes there and people will expect to log in and see them, so we are going to need to hold on those too until we get closer to the build actually going out. Thanks for your patience while we work on getting this going. Enjoy your evening either way... I suspect many of you will have plenty to do tonight even without this PTR :)

@seb_ferraro @AggrendWoW I didn't get to write down everything because there are things I missed, but for the most part, here is a forum post the priest discord made together on the issue. us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/shado…

@seb_ferraro @AggrendWoW At the higher end I can tell you that is very much not the case. With many raids running only 2 healers due to the lack of needed healing, all they want is more damage. It is why I am in favor of adding in options along side the utility options. Damage is not the only issue tho.

Had a few issues today getting this week's SoD PTR build ready, and we have a company holiday tomorrow so we probably won't get a new PTR build with changes up before Thursday at this point. Lots of good fixes and some rather large adjustments in there though, so stay tuned for more info on that. Thanks!
