On a side note, what is going on with priest identity these past expansions? The soul shard mechanic seems better suited to priest that demon hunter, cascading disaster is a priest card all the way and Ghuun is a warlock card.
Hey thanks for the reply. In playing Priest the last day or so I do feel like they are in need of a new, better clear akin to the old Duskbreaker or the new Shardshatter Mystic. Something for 3 rather than 2 damage AOE at least. I also agree that it seems like DH and Warlock have better healing options than Priest, which is really odd. I found myself starving for Apotheosis and added it into the Control Rez Priest I was playing because Holy Nova and Hero Power and even Khartut wasn't cutting it. Cascading Disaster would have been a good priest card, I agree. I cut G'huun from my Rez list because by the time I could use him it didn't seem worth the health cost.
You pinned it down. The biggest problem with priest is that no good board clear or AOE came out this year. They can’t even kill a board with voracious reader with an AOE for less than 9 (or 7 if you two card breath and vargoth). Priest lost the big clears for them in the last cycle too. I think every priest deck I made for a year and a half had mass hysteria in it. Breath of the infinite is a pretty poor replacement.
Thanks for your replies! I will try that list out and see how it goes! Maybe with the recent nerfs I will see less DH and Hunter and Priest can do a bit better?
Priest is in between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, the aggro decks which would have been destroyed by priests of old can buff powercreeped cards so quickly that they are hard to remove by the time you can play your lackluster AOE spells. On the other hand, tickatus warlock and ETC OTK warrior are always going to beat you. The biggest problems for priest stem from the pathetic evergreen cards they have, meaning they need expansion support to do well. Priest just hasn’t gotten the cards it needs to win consistently.
