4.0.6 and youFollow

Fairly easy.

Other interesting ones are;


And this one was kind of vague to me;

What does that even mean?
"The spirit increases the healing received by the target by 40%, and also prevents the target from dying by sacrificing itself. This sacrifice terminates the effect but heals the target of 50% of their maximum health."
So now you can't... make the 50% heal be in reality a 200% heal by applying different effects to the target that increase the 50% heal by X% so that the target gets healed for twice the amount of HP he actually has? Some bug fix!

Let's make a list of people who can't count to one.


:-D

I’m most excited about the new 4-piece set bonus that causes all movement-imparing effects on the priest to be suppressed for four seconds after a Power Word: Shield is cast on him or her.

The Guardian Spirit fix means that if the target gets hit by an attack that would reduce him or her to -200% of his or her maximum health, the target dies. It will prevent GS from saving people from various instakill boss mechanics.

This patch is a mixed blessing for me though, no doubt. Nerfs to Chastise will hurt; losing Glyph of Spirit of Redemption will hurt.

In a big way. I saw a video of a priest dueling where he kept his opponent cc'd for 43 seconds in a fear/chastise/MC chain. I'm sure his timing will be messed up bigtime now. On the bright side, I guess the pressure is off me to learn how to do that. Especially since I have no spell pen.

I MC'd someone in an arena for the first time ever the other night! It wasn't at all necessary, but I had a clear LoS and he was ignoring me, so I did it just for fun.

Edit: Also I think they should give us free dust if they're going to go completely changing glyphs like that.

I'll match your evil chuckle and raise you a sinister hand-rubbing.

For my Holy spec, I went ahead and dropped State of Mind. With a 1 minute duration on Chakra, it won't be hard ot keep it up. I can always recast and refresh as needed, and I can put those points elsewhere.

Still need to give Disc a whirl (Guild needs a healer, so Shadow is on hold for a while).

Oh, don't worry. I haven't gone quietly into that good night. I'm pretty much taking every opportunity to bring up Shadow so that they won't forget. When the time comes and we have a good replacement healer, I'm bringing Shadowform back. (Yeah)

Now I need arena partners!

I think playing the style you enjoy is a great way to go. You'll be the judge as to whether it works for you.

Teacake, if you had to make that choice go with Colin Firth, he would probably let you sleep with Matt Damon while he was out of town shooting a movie anyway.

Just saying...

A shield is just over 20K as holy with two points in Improved PWS. That plus the synergy between Body and Soul and Holy Walk--the 4-piece PVP set bonus--make for a huge boost in Holy Priest survivability. I’ve reglyphed for the PWS heal too, not just for the extra healing, but to proc Echo of Light as a little bit of dispel protection.

Had a mirror match in 2s last night between myself and my frost mage and a discipline priest and his frost mage. Victory to us! I used Chastise -> Manaburn whenever he came into my field of vision, while calling for my partner to root him there so I could Manaburn more. Whenever he wound up a Manaburn on me, I Body and Souled my butt behind my pillar. Also, my mage was a little smarter than theirs about spellstealing.

Thanks, Emmit! It makes me smiley to realize that Holy is still good stuff.

True, true. Someday I'll find a the right spec and settle down. Matchmaker, matchmaker, bring me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch...

Okay, I'm mixing musicals. Time to go download the patch and fix my glyphs.
