Well, to be fair, 2 of the 6 lines are full of dps increasing talents. So they ARE there and they ARE obvious increases.
The priest tree goes like this:
Incoming damage reduction
Movement speed increase
Damage/healing increase
Survivability increase
Damage/healing increase
Group utility
If the person you quoted wants that to change, he'll have to get on to the official forums and tell it to Blizzard. He might even get his way and have one of his talents moved to the other tier, so he can get both. As such, my post remains valid, given the context I quoted you in. Things can and will change, but only if he does it right and people agree with him. Also, announcing NOW that he's quitting, over something that is not yet final, really is stupid :-p
