Warcraft Experience

In a great article 1up.com chats about the upcoming priest changes in patch 1.10.

If you’re one of the five million World of Warcraft players around the world, you’ve most definitely seen your fair share of the plea for help above. When players send out a request for a healer to join their party, what they really mean is they want a Priest. Blizzard, in the spirit of forcing people to play their class correctly (Sorry, Shadow Priests), posted the details to their upcoming Priest review today and everything is coming up healing.

If there is one thing to be said about the upcoming Priest changes (Due to take effect with the 1.10 Patch), it’s that if you’re not playing a Holy Priest now, it may be time to dump a few gold and reallocate your talent points, because the Shadow talent tree barely got touched. Besides, nobody likes having a wanna-be Mage, I mean, Shadow Priest hanging around any ways.

With the review come new talents and the Holy and Discipline trees are bursting with these goodies. The most remarkable new talent, “Spiritual Guidance”, is a passive talent that becomes available at the 21 Point mark of the Holy tree. “Spiritual Guidance” will permanently improve the Priests spell damage and healing by up to 25% of their total Spirit attribute. That’s a lot of holy healing.

Blizzard’s Eyonix remarked that “Spiritual Guidance” provides a, “Pretty nice boost”. Understatement of the year, my friends. Anyone else got that itch to reroll?

As with every class review, there are a ton of changes so we highly suggest that all Priest players take the time to read through Eyonix’s lengthy post on the official forums. The next class that will be undergoing a full review is another Mana burner, the Mage. Hold onto your butts and pray we get this kind of special treatment too!
