Having a warlock partner in this bracket is gimping yourself if you want to play competitively.
Your warlock friend will be literally hardcasting fears and primarily dps abilities to setup burst whilst other classes like spriest can simply wreck everything in the way. If this is for funzies then a healer or another dps combo would be fair (since your going to run into bads, f2ps and so on). If you want to play serious, tell him to reroll a stronger class and roll a healer with him

One of the top classes to play atm. Spriest is good without being overpowered, both disc and holy are very good heals.

Spriest is op, Willy is a retard

Explain how Spriest is overpowered. Please keep in mind we have a class that can do 3200 damage in a single instant attack at level 29. Try to use that as a metric of what's actually overpowered.
So then Spriest comes along and does maybe 2k damage on two attacks, if he gets lucky and both crit? Meanwhile, he's being LoSed by any smart player, having his dots/bubble dispelled, and has zero CC to speak of?
Sure bud, 'Spriest are OP.'
Because being Pounced then killed within that 4 second stun by a FB crit, when you have nearly 6k hp, isn't different, right?

because if one class is broken that means another one can't be

Typically when we compare of different things, we hold them against a scale to see where they stand. On a scale of one to ten, Spriests would be about a 5, and feral druids would be an 8 (with nothing being a 9 or 10). Other specs, might be a 3 or a 4, with nothing being a 1 or a 2. Just because some classes/specs could use a buff, does not mean others are overpowered.

the term "overpowered" is relative and require comparison. if all classes except ferals, spriests and bm monks are on 3 on a scale of 1 to 10, does that not make the them op?
if you don't think it's retarded that a priests' mindblast hits for more than my rogue's initial burst from stealth you're delusional. but yeah lets rate spriest as 5 since they're perfectly balanced at this level

Sure, but the difference between say spriest, and other classes is much smaller than the difference between Ferals and everything else. The honest truth is that we're talking about most classes being a 3, 4, or 5, with many of them being a 4 or a 5. Where ferals are really far ahead at 8. You want to talk about how Spriests are OP, well WW monks, and Arms warriors are also 5s. Locks, mages, Enhance Shamans, boomkins, elementals, and ret paladins are at a 4, right behind the 5s. A skilled player can beat an Spriest with one of those classes. Fury wars, rogues, and hunters are the only real 3s.
So yes, while some of these classes/specs could use a buff, it's Ferals that stand out right now. It's Feral druids who need to be toned down because they are OP. Everything should be right around where Spriests are if the environment were actually balanced. That's why Spriests aren't OP.
Dramatized said:
Mind Blast hits for about 800 crits (+ or - 100 depending on how well you stack SP). What you're thinking of is Mind Blast + Devouring Plague. On top of that, rogues DO hit for about 1k in the opener. The difference is that you're comparing a long ramp up time burst (3x Mind Blast + 1 Devouring Plague, about 27 seconds to burst), to a single ability that a rogue uses from stealth (which gives them opportunity choose where/when they attack).
I'm sorry, but 'pick the exact place/point in time when you do damage' should probably be less powerful than 'can only do damage when not spell locked/in line of sight/range.' On top of that, rogues have been stupid OP for the last two expansions, and now they are finally in line with where they should be.
But yeah, Mind Blast is retarded...

Hi
All off you idiots complaining about the "opness" of each class, stfu and reroll if thats how you truly feel. If you're good at your class you can 1v1 anybody who is decent at their class. Obviously this excludes non-hybrids against like a holy paldain or something. All classes and most specs are viable against others, and all you idiots complaining about ferals or rets, seriously just reroll or keep qq'ing matches please. This is at least the 20th thread I've seen that turned into a sh*tfest.
If the OP still bothers reading this, spriest is good, but it's not what it used to be imo, no fears, and mind blast seems to hit less, might be just me though, haven't bothered the BiS him though.
