Priest Changes Coming!

[MongoJerry]

I'm interested that you chose Blessed Recovery - this will have to see some testing but I'm not sure it's worth it.

Let us know how is goes.

I'm curious to see how it goes, too. I chose to go with it under the theory that anything that improves survivability is good. Also, since players tend to wear a lot of +crit% gear in PvP -- like on the order of 40% in many cases for rogues and warriors -- one gets crit in PvP a lot. I'll have to try it out to see.

Another interesting build is this one:

Holy Damage Build

This build maximizes the damage that can be dealt with Holy Smite and Holy Fire. It gets +15% damage and +10% crit% and reduces their cast times by .5 seconds. In addition, it has Power Infusion and Inner Focus to provide burst damage (and healing). The idea here is that because Holy Smite gets more benefit from +damage gear than does any of the shadow damage spells and because it can crit, Holy Smite becomes a higher dps spell than comparable shadow spells with enough +damage gear. In addition, it's a pretty good PvE build, since it has plenty of mana, has the reduced cast time on Greater Heal, and has Inspiration.

The downside is that its healing power isn't the same as a holy build and it doesn't quite have the same survivability in PvP that the Battle Healer build described previously has.
