PW: Fortitude, Divine Spirit & Shadow Protection

[Silvaren]

Isn't it about time these three were combined into one?

[Pheonixis]

Good question, let me think about it Hmmmm NO. Seriously, how lazy can you get?

[Arag]

Passive buff from priest?

[Diffeyes]

Omg such a great idea, next we should combine penance, COH, and greater heal

[JSeilaS]

Make all buffs auras; passive never-ending auras
&Mass Penance that shields and renews every person in the raid?! Heck yes.

It's fine the way it is, really.
Hit three buttons and your raid is buffed!

[Rolzun]

even so that would make things "easier" for you, I would be a mafor pvp nerf for priests, because there wont be that much buffs to dispel.

ofc that would tone down disc. priests but still, not a good idea.

[vbrokop]

Each time I rez in a pvp situation, it's:

PW:F
Divine Spirit
Shadow Protection
Vampiric Embrace
Inner Fire
Fear Ward if it's up
Shadowform

That's 7 globals... Hell yes those first three should be combined... auras might be a good idea, too.

[Nikoll]

come back when you have to do paladin buffs.

[JSeilaS]

How about a minor glyph that buffs all three with one -on yourself-?
Glyph of Divine Spirit: When you cast Divine Spirit on yourself, Power Word: Fortitude and Shadow Protection are also applied.

I still don't think it's necessary though.

[Stumbelline]

In my day we had to buff each group seperately, up hills both ways!

"RAWR" group wide battle shout ftw

[Nilinor]

And all the buffs lasted about 10minutes, after the first 2 trash pulls you had to rebuff!

[cafeine]

Just try playing a shadow priest in battlegrounds, and by the end of the day, you'll wish blizzard finds a new and fast way to buff yourself before going back into action... There are at least 10s before you cast your mount.

Great minor glyph imo.

[shayleen]

or group-wide heroism with no debuff!! go go stack shamans!

[Keosen]

GIve every class a skill called Buffed that cast all class cuffs immediatelly, and give a jar as a gift for the playes to putting their brains inside.

[Kelesti]

that cast all class cuffs immediatelly

You can't break those cuffs

[Crusoe]

Are you complaining about the 3 regents you have to use to rebuff or the 3 GCDs it takes to rebuff?

If it is the regents cost, don't worry in Cata join a guild, and your regents will be removed if your guild choses that guild talent point.

If it is having to use GCDs then that only matters in PVP becuase 3 seconds in a raid before a pull isnt' going to matter.

Even in pvp it is really more only in BGs that those 3 GCD matter, and only then on a limited basis. Use the time to rebuff yourself to tell your team what area that you died protecting, so they can send reinforcements. If they are camping the GY and you died there, those 3 GCDs are not going to save you anyway.

will happen in cata with dispel changes => fort+spirit

you don't need shadow prot every fight

[Ultima]

We can only speculate on Cataclysm, not even Blizzard know for sure the dispel changes and everything else for concrete.

As for the buff, we have it really good as far as buff classes go. I do not envy Paladins when it comes to having to buff, we spend 5 seconds, they spend 5 years (though that's a mix of lazyness and bad buff system )
