Meh, as a human priest, I don’t think I’ll be missing anything. I’ll still get holy nova to kill hunter snake traps with in PvP and now desperate prayer will only have a 30 second cooldown as opposed to 10 minutes. A self “oh s%847″ button that can be used repeatedly if need be? Pretty cool to me. And better than a bandage.

Well – I actually will miss feedback. While grinding or doing PvP, I love popping feedback and my reflective shield. Makes burning a mob down doing my Sunwell dailies go just a little faster.

I have never liked the cooldown of feedback and that really is what made is useless.

I will REALLY miss desperate prayer as a Healing Disc priest and will have to find a way to build in the points. While I don’t use this often, it is a great way to quickly catch myself when nothing else is available or I am on the run. Hence the name desperate.

Lets see – Supremus and Illidary Council come to mind.

Give a little, take a little.. I agree that it was a needed change, though..

And Holy Nova, like it or not, works wonders for running lowbies thru RFC..

I am sure that it was removed because someone out there whined that we were too “op.” Whatever. I have taken everything I have come across now as a matter of “roll with the punches.” Blizz finally found something that hits home.

Was there really a need for doing that?

The Holy Nova thing amuses me mightily for some reason, lol.

As a NE Priest, I can’t say I’m torn up about losing Elune’s Grace. I don’t think I ever used it. And Lolshards? Well, lawl.

I’m sure others probably feel more strongly about it than I do. My reaction was a combination of “Meh” and “Lol”.

I was discussing the viability of a Holy Nova DPS Priest (for clearing BRD, for example, mostly as a joke) with a friend the other day… looks like I wouldn’t have to spec for it to test it out now…
