Some more info on Chastise, stolen from the EJ boards. I got to play with it some yesterday:
* The spell damage coefficient is 14.217% for all ranks (no downrank penalty) based on testing.
* Rank 1 is the same duration (2sec) and costs 50 mana, versus 300 mana for max rank
* 20 yard range
* 30 second cooldown
* 0.5 second cast time
* Not castable in shadow form
* Locks out holy school if interrupted
* Works only on humanoids (so much for helping your partner catch druids)
* Immunities are the same as gouge (its an incapacitate), i.e. berserker rage breaks it.
Bottom line, theres no reason to ever cast anything but rank 1. Casting max rank means you're paying 250 mana for 300-350 damage. Also, Warriors remain the class that can absolutely destroy a Priest and there's nothing the Priest can do to stop them, due to fear immunity and berserker rage's chastise immunity. Bleh.
However, Dwarf Priests went from being the best Alliance PvP Priest race by a mile to being the best Alliance PvP Priest race by two miles. Good job, Blizzard!
