Game-Changing New Powers

[Quark]

And there's the nerf to Prayer of Mending. 20 second cooldown.

The fact that a good portion of the Priest community expected a nerf from the get-go is probably more sad than the inevitable nerf that happened. So while our Power Word: Shield continues to scale incredibly badly, they continue to nerf our survivability in PvP.

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.

As a Rogue I'm annoyed because this is a huge drop in my survivability before the promised "anti-melee" review comes. They know they've got a huge problem on their hands, so they indirectly make it larger before doing anything about it.

As a player I'm not surprised PoM was changed (remember all those posts where I said I don't want anything but a Priest healer for over half the level 70 5-mans?), but 20 seconds is way overboard.
