priests and blessings

I know that well-played mages can manage threat very well, and that they'd  probably prefer the mana recovery blessing.

The mana recovery is really nice, but for any kind of tricky fight I'd rather have salvation since you can ratchet up the damage a notch. For most mages, "managing threat very well" really means casting with one arm behind their back. You can get a higher damage rate with salvation. Requires playing with salvation enough to know how far you can push it instead of just playing it safe w/scorch & AM, though.
