Priests in WotLK, forgotten?
by Serawyn | 31/08/2008 00:55:40 Hmm well, it seems blizz forgot about us, priests, I hear about mage's, locks, paladins, etc.. getting buffed, getting awesome spells, talents,... But if I take a look at the talent tree for priests it just sucks monkey balls... wth is up with the shadow talents? blizz was bored after buffing all the other classes first and then throwing the priest class aside? Seems so. And wtf, it looks like paladins are getting Mana regen to the group; some sort of Vampiric Touch, that's another unique ability spriest will lose. If anyone has some more information about priests maybe getting some upgrades in WotLK that would be great, or you could simply post another nerf of priests both holy and shadow... sera |
by Wryxian | 02/09/2008 16:02:08 I know some Priests that are very happy with the changes in WotLK, but since this is a reply to you: Serawyn, can you tell me some of the specific things that you like and don't like about the Shadow talents in Wrath of the Lich King Beta?

by Wryxian | 02/09/2008 16:15:39Well, we can only say what we've already said. That is, if there are issues after this change, we will look at them and if need be provide new spells or revamp old ones (such as, purely for example, Heal) to replace what was achieved by a lower rank Greater Heal. The Beta is not yet finished, and our development team is still reviewing the impact of changes made. If you've got some feedback on your experience of healing after the downranking change on the Beta, we invite you to post up your feedback in the Priest EU English Beta forum.

by Wryxian | 02/09/2008 17:06:34Unfortunately the Community team can only pass on either our own personal thoughts, or comments made by the development team. The idea that we have a whole load of information that we're just choosing not to share with you is a fallacy. When we have information, we do post it.

by Wryxian | 03/09/2008 09:58:22I think you are misinterpreting a lack of a blue reply to mean the feedback isn't read or appreciated. That's an understandable assumption, but incorrect. Whilst dealing with reports, keyloggers and other tasks, yes the Community Team does read the forums but no we do not reply to most topics. I don't think anyone would really appreciate if we just spammed "Nice feedback, thanks for that :-)" all over the place: it would soon come to mean nothing much at all. Despite that though, I do when I can. "Be the change that you want to see in the world. " ~ Mohandas Gandhi |
by Wryxian | 03/09/2008 10:43:17Well there will be raid beta testing in the Beta, but don't forget the upcoming PTR will allow even more testing prior to changes being made live. I do 25 and 10 man raids myself and believe me I know full well what the changes will mean for a Holy Priest. But until players are able to test them in a raid environment, then it really is only theorycraft; which is of course still valuable and often very accurate. You can still spam CoH... Beta's cooldown for this spell was removed some time ago. On behalf of Holy Priests I know well, my personal concern only really lies with the removal of Greater Heal's lower ranks. I'm hopeful that either encounters will be changed to prevent this being a necessity, or that we may see changes to something like Heal to make it more appealing. But though we've announced possible retroactive instance or gear changes -- or spell adjustments or additions, we haven't mentioned anything specific or confirmed as yet for the Holy Priest.
