I've been in the beta for shadowlands for a few days now and its definitely looking interesting. Been playing around with the new shadow priest approach today and its really good, much better than the last 2 expansions approach.
So far I've been pleased with the following:
- Outlaw rogue although roll the bones needs the 50 energy cost removing due to its cooldown otherwise it should be spot on
- Shadow priest, its really good but probably will be tuned down a bit
- Affliction warlock, amazing but Malefic rapture (does the most damage by a mile) is likely to be toned down
- Feral druid, will be stupid in pvp due to all of the druid utility coming back to it on top of the very strong burst damage they currently have
Not pleased with:
- Elemental shaman feels like it needs tuning up as the abilities don't seem to hit hard enough
- Enhancement shaman has no filler so you watch it auto attack or cast a spell when you are on cd for lava lash, stormstrike etc
- Demonology feels just like legion even though they've made alterations
- Balance druid damage is atrocious at the moment, definitely needs tuning up. Appears to have gone to some weird WOD version but need to play it more to confirm
Not tried anything else yet! Sadly no way of skipping the maw intro so have to sit through that on every character and the lv 50 template characters are all in the same position, no 60 templates where you can go straight to covenants and soulbinds etc atm.
Happy to test anything if people have requests.
