Finally!

Blizzard finally posted something about what they plan to do about Priest issues in 1.10. Of course it was very vague and admittedly so. I had been waiting for something to be said.

The list Eyonix provided was:

• Greater Heal
  
• Inner Fire
  
• All Three Talent Trees
  
• Power Word: Shield
  
• Priest Racial Abilities
  

I don't know what they are going to do about greater heal. No one uses it because all the battles are so fast and furious you are forced to use flash heal. It is just too slow.

I hope they make Inner Fire last longer and maybe put a more useful component than attack power on the damn thing.

I think Holy needs the most attention, followed by Discipline and Shadow bringing up the rear. I'm hoping for a holy form of some sort even if I have to give up some of my favorite discipline talents. Or maybe they'll put some more useful things in Disc that will make me want to keep it.

PW:Shield is in bad need of help. It hasn't dealt well with the increase in either the PVE raid encounters or in PVP with the itemization of the melee classes. Warriors usually need only 2 hits tops usually or 2 seconds to blow through it. Not much protection there.

And all I have to say is if they take my Fear Ward and give it to all the other priests they better damn well give me something in return. Because I don't have Shadowmeld and I don't have Improved Spirt. None of the Dwarf Racials help a Priest for the most part. Stoneform has come in handy a few times to save me from a rogue.

I was surprised to not see fade mentioned here. I was hoping fade would get some component to make it useful in PvP. The idea has been thrown around to make it like mirror image in WCIII. I love being a Priest, but I am eagerly waiting to find out how Blizzard might make it even more pleasurable :)
