I’m Priest only player and I’m playing lots of different decks of different archetypes. It’s very sad the devs want to nerf healing as I complain a lot that Priest does not have enough healing…
Priest games are like this:
- When facing Mages or Warlocks, just auto-concede. It’s not worth spending time on them. You just lose. Mages are just going face with spells and you don’t have enough healing to outheal it (+ Counterspell is painful) and Warlock have Tickatus (play a card and win). The Shadow Hunter Vol'jin and Mutanus the Devourer is not enough to counter it. I tried. Not even close.
- OTK decks (Demon Hunter) are also auto-lose but it’s normal as you are playing control.
- When facing Hunters, well, it’s auto-win for you. Poor Hunters better to auto-concede to Priest but they never doing it. Who knows why.
- Demon Hunters and Shamans are fair much-ups as they can beat you with burst (you don’t have enough healing btw).
- Mirror match-ups are tricky.
- Other classes are very rare and inconsistent: you can win, you can lose.
What I want? I want to not have the “auto-win” or “auto-lose” outcome. I want to play game. And I see the devs just don’t want Priest to be viable. It’s not his season. It’s time of Hunters, Shamans, DH, Druids. They should shine for now.
These cards are broken AF (in this order):
- Palm Reading
- Apotheosis
- Renew
- Hysteria (nerfed twice, still OP)
These are the only cards Priest can win games. If you nerf them, what Priest will left with? All classes have broken cards, like Illidari Inquisitor, Taintheart Tormenter, Lilypad Lurker, Trampling Rhino, Tickatus, Devolving Missiles, Incanter's Flow → Refreshing Spring Water and of course our broken queen Alexstrasza the Life-Binder. And what Priest have? Discover? “Discover some useless shit”…
Just play around broken cards and you should be fine. Aggro-players want to play green cards and spam board on turn 7 so you can Blademaster Samuro combo them. Samuro is the only real healing in Priest. And it’s not free: you should survive till turn 7 and you should have 2 cards and your opponent should have a board. It’s very unfornunate when your opponent is smart enough and just go face with 5/5, playing nothing, and you just can’t deal with it as you can’t discover Shadow Word: Death and Samuro-combo is not worth it.
I hope we have better times for Priest. As for now it’s a problematic class. If you want to climb, use a better class. It’s really surprising the devs want to nerf Tier 3 class. You really have nothing to do, huh? Or you just don’t like your e-sports? Once, Priest was the worth class in the game and the nerfed Hysteria… Well, they just hate Priest. I hope for better times.

Being that they clearly and prematurely nerfed so many Shaman cards I'm willing to bet Dragon's Pack is reverted.

Sprint with a 4/4 body that increases your hand size to 12 is overrated and slow that synergizes with the new 6 drop and all of the giants? Seems good to me.

Calling it now. Priest will go from worst to first. The new cards and this quest will give them an easy T1 deck. Be nice to see them relevant in the meta again.

When Dog is on the total views are around 23K when Dog isn't on they hit lows around 12k. Viewership is down a bunch. Why? Because no one wants to watch 6 hours of Warrior mirror or the same 3 classes play with about the same decklist.

Well....Deathrattles become 1/1. That's lame.

Can you please un-nerf the cards you nerfed because of Baku/Greymane? Thanks

I would be amazing if every class had a viable deck. Why is it that 2-4 classes pretty much dominate the ladder? I never understood the logic behind Ben Brode's comment "Yeah we intentionally print bad cards....because some people like playing with bad cards and trying making them work" Please. How about stop printing bad cards. Of the 135 cards printed every xpac how many are actually used? Print good cards. Stop printing bad cards.
Out of the 135 cards let's try to have more than 30 (if that) actually be something you would want in your deck.
