What's more, no one-handed orb is ever going to give the stat bonuses that a comparable two-handed staff can. Thus, it's impractical for any high level priest to use anything other than a staff (other than for looks).This really drives home the fact that the priest is still a work in progress. As we beta testers know, there are no priest-specific quests in the game, and I think Blizzard's still trying to figure out how priests should be set up in the game compared to mages and warlocks. Probably same with Hunters - how to make them different enough from Warlocks and yet still have minion control?
