Game-Changing New Powers

[Falomin]

2. I freaking BLOW at soloing. Only spec worse in my opinion is a full prot warrior, but they will scale much better with gear than I. I can't tell you how much gold I spent on water leveling to 70. I did make the mistake of rolling a BE hunter though. Everything they say about hunters is true -- EZ mode, overpowered... it's like a completely different game. It makes me sick to think about it.

3. PoM feels overpowered to me even in PvE. Seems like most fights (for example in Shadow Lab) I am torn between two things -- DPS, or entertaining myself by watching my PoM bounce from tank to offtank an back while everyone's health bars are full. And it's aggro free for me. Mana efficiency be damned (I have no talents for it) it's still aggro free, so I can spam it at the beginning of those big pulls without fear.

4. I am weak in PvP. I haven't done much since TBC, but the problems that plague holy priests have only gotten worse, not better. My shield and inner fire are actually worse, and my fear is as ineffective as always. Now my opponent just has way more health to worry about. My only hope is that my opponents are stupid and try to kill someone else first. Still waiting for that to happen... I'm very disappointed in the PoM for this reason, I was looking forward to being useful.

5. In raiding... well I can only speculate, but I think a resto druid will be a better healer than me. I'll hold my own. As Horde I can take comfort in my role as dispel bot until we get more paladins at least...

Juat a few things:

In regards to point 2:

YES! I hear about these hunters and mages farming for stuff and I am envious, I am 23/ 38 and I refuse to farm for stuff with my holy priest, it is awful and it is tedious. All of the healers in my guild have a DPS alt, it is the only way we stay sane.

Point 3:

In the trash pulls PoM can be overpowered with two tanks yes, but in the boss fights it definitely is not, at least in my experience, very good spell, not overpowered in boss fights.

Point 4:

Battlegrounds are rough, I die so many times. Once the horde realizes that I'm healing I'm number one target. Feral druids, rogues, warriors crush me. And my fear is useless and my PW Shield is pathetic.

The best part for me is when I'm dead since I then get 10 free seconds healing with Spirit of Redemption.

Point 5:

I have never been out healed by a druid in a raid. I don't know if I am just lucky or good (I prefer to think good) but I was under geared and still kept the main tank alive better than a very good druid healer in several raids that I ran with him. I don't think we need to get scared yet.
