How is Priest in an utterly unplayable place? How bad are the majority of you mindless cretins that just mimic the decks other people post? The only accurate thing you've mentioned is that Shaman is a dominating class right now. Hunters get one deck, Priests have 3 decks, and you're saying Priest is the one that needs help? Because Entomb, Cabal, Excavated Evil, Shadow Words, card draw, Auchenai Circle clears aren't strong enough??
Remove Entomb and then buff Priest so the baddies out there can have an easier time, that's the only logical foundation for any improvements.
Considering that your entire post history is trashing Priest and complaining about the lack of Hunter support, I dare say that your opinion is slightly less valid than the experience of the overwhelming majority of the community.
Priest might be just fine in Wild, but it is far and away the weakest class in Standard. As much as everyone hates Entomb, it is only strong in control v. control match-ups. Against aggro, it's a dead card. Against midrange, it just delays the inevitable. Cabal has very few good targets left without Shrinkmeister (Un-buffed Councilman, IGB, Bloodhoof Brave). EE is okay but has a severe drawback and Auchenai Circle is a garbage combo. SW:P and SW:D are nice single-target removal, but only SW:D provides meaningful tempo gains. SW:P just delays a turn.
Meanwhile, sure, Hunter only has one archetype, but it's one of the strongest ones in the game. Priest players would gladly trade their three crap decks for one tier 2 deck. Priest, Rogue and Pally all need serious help, even though it pains me to acknowledge that Pally needs help again so soon after the MC reign of terror.
Priest is one of my favourite classes, but even I try to be careful what I wish for.
People were clamoring for better Shaman cards before LoE came out, and then they got Tunnel Trogg. All of a sudden Aggro Shaman was a thing, and once it's counters got rotated out, it exploded. Now people hate Shaman, and are hoping it doesn't get powerful cards from this expansion.
Paladin struggled a bit before GvG, then it got Shielded Minibot and Muster for Battle. And when they added in Mysterious Challenger? You guessed it, KABOOM!
If you ask for a massive buff, you might just get a massive buff, and it might not be quite what you wanted.
not asking for ridiculously good cards either, just good enough ones so you can actually play that class right now without hating your life wasting time on something that isn't designed to work currently
diversity in gameplay is the 2nd most important thing for the game, which right now is not even close of being achieved. aggro decks and general tempo decks are totally fine and even necessary as long as you keep control around as well

Do you see priests running around on ladder with their 3 decks? I think you need to step back and think about what you said.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I returned to this game much like how a recovering alcoholic can relapse.
what worth has removal when you can't keep a board up and are always on the reactionary side without making moves on your own?
just delaying the inevitable most of the time
but maybe blizzard's design philosophy is that proactive cards wouldn't fit into the class, so they won't make them
You dont need a board as cancer fatigue Elise Priest
Riiiiight. All those fatigue priests swarming the ladder. I hope Blizz does eventually give Priest its MC / Flamewreathed Faceless. The salt will be exceptional, if all of the bitching about Entomb, the most overrated card in the entire game, is any indication.
We're about to find out. Priest gets a passable 4 drop, a slow 5 drop, and silence that draws a card but costs 2. Absolutely nothing that will help in the current meta. The new neutral dragon cards will see more play than the actual class cards in priest decks, which is inexcusable.
The bishop is a good card, but not what Priest needs. Same with the 4-drop. Both will probably still see some play but I'm extremely disappointed. Purify is the stupidest thing I've ever read, the Corrupted Scrolls card that Eloise posted would be better (and that's saying something).

please just make the game healthy again

hope's still up, but not very high
Than another part of me dies.

They didn't, lol. Complete garbage.
Priest is so dead. They'll only be good if some good Deathrattle or Dragon deck comes up from the new cards.

I'm thinking to myself, "it'll be fine as long as they make something other than a 3/5 4 drop."
......At least it's 3/6? *facedesk*
RIP Priest. Not even
ResurrectOnyx Bishop* will save be able to save it...beat me here!
Well..... That was disappointing.
Let me change your mind...
They are hopping priests fans will use Inner Fire in meta. C'mon Blizz ! F***

No 2 drop for priest. I'm sad :(

hoping that Faceless Shambler wall priest will be viable with the new silence card... maybe?
Exactly that priest got nothing.. well atleast he is stronger in wild it's something..
As most of our opinions were the same, I probably will say that I need a hug.
Priest is still bad.
