Priest Changes Coming!

[castille]

Soo, I think we can just require all of our mages/warlocks to roll priests now and we'd be fine. Both of the -threat talents got improved, which is a little ridiculous because a well geared dps-ing shadow priest is VERY capable of topping damage meters in MC and especially BWL, where threat is even more of a big deal (I know this from experience, talk to LucidityAxel from the Basin). I mean, I'm really happy for the priests, but a little bitter at the same time.

Hell, I know this from experience because I talk to -me- ;)

Topping? I'm not sure about topping. I scare the rogues a little, but the amount of AoEing and the very fact that rogues aren't reliant on mana means that if I don't push that envelope to the very max -- like I did in Saturday's MC -- I drop behind. I did stay in the top 10, I think, however. I even tried things I didn't ever want to try, and only grabbed aggro (and paid for it) once. I tossed a SWP/VE/MB on the mob at first taunt. Not even a sunder. This was my fault, and I ran it back halfway to the tank before final wafflestompage occurred. But that's only because I didn't want 2 more seconds for a sunder to get in. Every other fight, I did much the same thing, but waited for the first sunder to go on, then I went nuts. I am a well geared shadow priest, though we need a bit more until I begin to 'buff' my gearing with the requisite Nef drops, and it's working out quite well. Shadow Affinity and Silent Resolve are awesome together, and now that I'll get a further drop on my healing portion, too, I'm so happy. I probably won't gain VE aggro anymore.
