Why is there lack of priests in top 2s arena ladder?

Hi, i am intrested to know why there's huge lack of holy / shadow priests in 2s ladder. Is there any major priest bug in pandawow or are they just miles behind the fotm healers? In retail 5.4.8 holy priest / mage was tier 1 comp and it feels the same here if played good, the cc chains are just unrelentless. Shadow can also pair up with rogue / mage. Played sp rsham here and it feels so weak on pandawow (have played rsham sp up to 2488 in Outland - EU.) Insight on why is there so few priests on ladder? They have problems healing in dampening but when playing with a good mage / ww you rarely get to 40% dampening. Discuss !

Priest usually plays 2s with a class that has alot of peeling (mage/ww monk) so if they're both good, i dont think that priest could really die before 50% dampening or if the enemy dps has high uptime on him. So what are the real reasons of the lack of priests? They take high skillcap to play at higher rating and people go with the easier way? (mw,hpal,rsham etc) ?

Probably because of the warrior dmg or BM hunter dmg or the DK runic corruption bug going on right now, or simply because Pandawow has different FotM classes.

 

Completly correct. That forces us to play defensive and ye... if uve to play defensive as priest you already lost

Everything is avoidable in my eyes. Lets say frost mage / hpri vs mw monk / awar. If the mage pri is decent they can just counterpressure. War goes on pri, mage gets to control the mw monk and therefore forces war to back off and lose pressure on priest every time monk is in cc chain. Repeat x2 when war monk are out of defensives and win. If the war goes on mage instead, priest can easily get fears on monk, then MC the war so mage can get free poly / rof on monk and continue from there. Dont think BM hunter can ever be problem for priest in 2s, unless playing with a really good rogue/ret and they have high uptime on the priest, even then they would most likely go on the mage. As priest vs BM / x heal just back off and wait out his main cds and continue from there. Kinda l2p issues. I just wanted to know that maybe there are gamebreaking bugs for holy priests that's causing the low popularity of the class/spec. Edited by zekkenx

2. some other classes are overpowered

About that delay thingy ... is the staff aware of it ? I mean is there a russian report about that already ? Because in their opinion its not lagging at all while u can see a huuuuuuge difference between w**mane and pandawow ping wise. I mean my ms is fine but its still laggy af.
