Thats why I don't do PvP with my holy priestess anymore.
At first there were only rogues who could kill me this way. Well, I thought, thats what rogues are good for: catching people off guard and ripping cloth wearers to shreds.
Then came the epic warriors, who, adding insult to injury, didn't even need to catch me by surprise like rogues have to. Just charge in and mortalstrike.
Then came hunters, who could suddenly deal obscene damage from the other side of the field.
Well. at least mages and warlocks couldn't stand a chance against a priest, could they? Isn't healing so much more mana efficient than damage dealing? All I need to do is to heal out the damage and wait for them to go OOM. But with the current amount of burst damage dealt by casters, this is a purely academic.
Everytime I join a BG channel on our guilds vent I hear mages bragging their crits and how they one or two shotted some poor bastard who happend to cross their way.
Perhaps someday when I have accquired enough spelldamge (and not only +healing) gear I will respecc shadow and oneshot people with mindblasts. Until then I level my rogue alt (lvl 49 now) to have some fun in PvP.
