Its about time

[KresnikHellfire]

I didn't really think bliz would be able to fix everything in once patch(pve wise), but i think theve done that.


awesome haste scaling, maybe not as great as other classes but.. from going from 0 haste scaling to this was kind of shocking tbh

Beter spirit scaling, seeing as im at about 800spirit raid buffed this is good.

Mf Glyph is nice, if base range gets upped to pre-3.3 range it would be sweet.

with MF glyph and 4pc t10, will only be mind blasting every 12secs to keep up replenish... if we have enough hunters/rets i will drop it all together

If MF glyph was for MB instead, then i would be super happy,atm im just happy .

Keep in mind - glyph of mind flay is INSTEAD of glyph of shadow word pain. It hasn't magically added an extra 10% damage to mind flay like some people are reading it.

I'm utterly shocked that Bliz is even considering making this many ground breaking scaling changes to spriests in 1 patch.

I knew I stuck with this spec for one reason or another. There was always hope.

Priest
We've noticed that a lot of people are looking forward to these Priest changes. Unfortunately, our internal testing tells us that we need to make a couple ramifications here. The most notable one being:[*]Hope has been removed.

So, my Devouring Plague instantly strikes my target for over 1200 now.

When that gets doubled, it'll be like pre-BC Moonfire spam. Killing people in 10 instant-cast, no cooldown spells and an absurd amount of mana.

I can't wait.

You know, killing someone in 15 seconds isn't that unusual if they don't have heals and don't do anything to stop you from damaging them.

Killing AFK players makes you OP, right?

No, PvE geared players killing PvE geared players in BGs makes him OP.

Warlocks and Druids are gonna whine, haste scaling with their dot/hot is via glyph while ours are via Shadowform.

[Farboud]

is this finally canceled?

Improved Devouring Plague: This spell now deals 10/20/30% of its total periodic effect instantly, up from 5/10/15%.

Shadowform: This talent also now causes Devouring Plague, Shadow Word: Pain, and Vampiric Touch to benefit from haste. Both the period length and the duration of these spells will be reduced by haste. In addition, the mana cost has been reduced from 32% to 13% of base mana.

Or they will apply in the next ptr path?

They said it'll be a temporary experiment. If the glyphs prove very successful and popular, and the classes don't go super overpowered, it may become a baseline feature of Haste.

You know, killing someone in 15 seconds isn't that unusual if they don't have heals and don't do anything to stop you from damaging them.

I know. But it'll be funny. They're instant casts, man. That's like saying "Ice Lance should ALWAYS hit for 3k". It seems harmless, until you see it in action.

Yes, and since Shadow Priests are perfectly balanced in PVP this will be the tipping point that turns us into completely overpowered death-machines.

If you are fighting someone who has no self-healing abilities and no CC and no way of stopping you from casting and no way of doing damage then this is overpowered.

[Shiikarii]

Although i havn't yet seen these changes take effect, but i bet you guys will do much higher competitive single target damage now.

CUNTS :d :d

[Abandon]

I think you meant to say "You will now do competative single-target DPS now".

[Kumcio]

It's good to see priest buffs, they needed it... shamans are still waiting for theirs, maybe little crying support on Blizz forums?

[MushroomBomb]

Yay!

[G l o w y r m]

Ridiculous; priests get haste scaling with all their dots with one talent point, whereas afflic locks have to give up a glyph slot for ONE dot.

Thanks, Blizz.

Warlocks are already OP, so thank Blizz for that. Besides, they have stated that if this whole haste affecting DoT's thing turns out to be a good move, they will take it off the glyphs and make it a base haste effect.

Shadow Priests NEEDED this WAY more than Warlocks needed ANYTHING. The Conflag nerf is nice too...finally.

These Shadow changes sure surprised me. Looks like you guys are pretty happy with them so far, I'm glad for my darker brothers in priesthood!

[Deleo]

OMG, HOLY CRAP, YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN ME, ABOUT TIME: Things that came to my mind when I saw patch notes.

I'm falling to the dark side again.

[fattyboomkin]

they had the best changes then any other classes.So,shadow will still be pure awesomeness

[Joshmaul]

Warlocks whining is ofc mostly due to the fact that they get a PvE nerf due to PvP QQ. And one tree nerfed to make another more attractive.

Oh. Kind of like death knights.

[scotty]

i tested these things on the ptr and either im doing somthing wrong or they never added these things.
