I take parties into Maraudon. We take a priest. He soothes on occasion. Usually we just kill because the thought of something alive behind us makes us uncomfortable, and 5 minutes is nothing.
However, I imagine he finds Soothe most useful himself for soloing. The poor bugger's in his 50's, and kills things with a wand because he didn't spec shadow. I really feel for him right about now, this nerf must totally suck.
It was also his way of farming herbs - soothe the nearby aggro, herb, run away.
At the end of the day it doesn't make much difference. A high level group has such a small aggro radius you can run past a lot of Maraudon anyway. We always killed the last six giants before the Princess, so wtf?
Realistically, making key guards see stealth and resist soothe would have been far, far smarter. But I guess that route would have, yknow, made sense, so Blizzard didn't take it.
Incidentally, Rogues can stealth and "skip a lot of content" and I don't see anyone giving a damn really ;) I guess it's because the Rogue stealths solo but the Priest soothe saves the party.
They should give Priests a second soothe that only lowers awareness to oneself.
