I think the negativity towards the current set was brought on by flat out lack of understanding and lack of first hand application. Almost every priest I know, including myself, thought it wasn't that great.... Until we tried it. For heroic progression raiding, it's amazing.<br /><br />You're welcome to read my thoughts here so I don't crap up MMs comments <br /><br />http://talesofapriest.com/?p=447<br /><br />as always, great post, MM!Avalonnahttp://www.talesofapriest.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775731721043763893.post-77354979457084638292010-03-03T18:46:39.208-05:002010-03-03T18:46:39.208-05:00I sort of like my holy bonus as is.

I just started getting used to the "Flash Heal!" proc on my Power Auras- so I was really able to use it as intended; however, it will be interesting to see how this change affects healing. TBH and IMHO, the current badge version is just weak compared to other stuff you can get. I have been tinkering with other badge pieces as wel as the Sanguine Robes, and I think the other stuff has more power regardless of any bonus. I am probably wrong about this, but it's just what I have seen. So, Blizz, thank for listening to all the crybabies.. but seriously, could we get a buff to our healing in some other way besides a bonus? I want to see some real changes there. This has been the year of the spriest! Give Holy a chance!

The proc also had a high chance to be wasted too.<br /><br />About renew, whether I played in 10 mans or 25 (with 2 druids, btw), renew has always proven to be a powerhouse of a healing spell. It saddens me to see so few holy priests on the WMO top charts, but the few that are all seem to be renew users too, so this change might put some more on the charts, I hope.Daxlimhttp://ressme.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775731721043763893.post-81275651536282566032010-03-03T12:21:44.765-05:002010-03-03T12:21:44.765-05:00While I feel the new PTR bonus is better than the ...While I feel the new PTR bonus is better than the current one... +5% is still not worth it for Disc IMO considering all the spirit on the Tier gear.<br /><br />I also agree with Wikwocket that it is sad to see a T10 4pc bonus, which on most classes is pretty epic, reduced to something as "boring" as a simple 5% increase.<br /><br />I'll stick with my current badge gear, even if this change goes live.Mongrrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966611904001848517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775731721043763893.post-13654715702935245752010-03-03T11:49:32.553-05:002010-03-03T11:49:32.553-05:00I have mixed feelings on this change.

On the other hand, it's sad to see an interesting and play-style-defining bonus changed to a mindless +5%.<br /><br />Back on the first hand though, it's about time priests got a nice fat +5% set bonus... I'm tired of small bonuses to obscure spells that you have to jump through hoops to use; sometimes a mindless buff is nice!<br /><br />But then on the other other hand, changing a play-style-defining set bonus after many priests have spent hundreds of emblems on gear is kind of a bummer.

I was about to start kicking myself for skipping the 4pc bonus.Miss Medicinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722915845184864567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775731721043763893.post-85463061185831511462010-03-03T11:21:03.439-05:002010-03-03T11:21:03.439-05:00I don't think I would have appreciated that ra...I don't think I would have appreciated that random reset... Although I am not geared up enough yet to actually raid. The T10 would most likely be an option for me, though. I agree with cranky, the first would have messed up my healing. (I actually count in my head, can you believe it...) This is much better, in comparison.<br /><br />Love,<br />~Ari (http://holykitties.blogspot.com/)Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14161457041137413372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775731721043763893.post-6814477627436517862010-03-03T11:18:28.885-05:002010-03-03T11:18:28.885-05:00being in a 10 man team with no druids, I had writt...being in a 10 man team with no druids, I had written off the 4 piece before but now its looks great. renew is my #1 healing spell based on WoL.

I think that having a random reset to penance etc would seriously mess up my healing mojo timing. After a while you just get a FEEL for when certain things are going to come off cooldown. Having it available earlier is awesome, in theory, but I think it would mess up the healing rhythm, so to speak, and cause me to unnecessarily focus on my cooldown monitor rather than just simply heal.<br /><br />But exxy seemed to really like it.
