Quote:Yes GG, I know you were referring to the aggro mechanic, but the fact's still there that Blizzard nerfed it. And unlike so many past nerfs, this one's got me pretty upset. PoM was the one spell that helped to separate Priests and make them worth taking on runs over other healers, and now that's getting hit hard.
Adding a cooldown to PoM is a nerf to the PvE applications of the threat mechanic as well--you're not going to be able to take advantage of the threat mechanic in any substantial way anymore. Sure, if the tank gets a big hit before they have aggro, you can cast it once--but how is that substantially different from pre-shielding the tank before the pull? It's reactive instead of proactive, that's all.
