[Chavie]

shadow mend! shadow mend! shadow mend!!

[Chavie]

shades of darkness! shades of darkness!

[Marroc]

AoE Dispel! AoE Dispel! AoE Dispel!


:P

[Ruinhammer]

Jeez no kidden...all shadow myself so Mwahaha

Given that i'll have to repspec sooner or later though the other 2 tress ain't all that bad...no changes to lightwell though? Booo hiss

[Lelenia]

Mmm...prayer of Mending...and SwP's older, angrier cousin, SHADOW WORD: DEATH!

And if the talent tree holds, this (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/bc-priest/talents.html?5052300100000000000002250500323021505 0051400000000000000000000) is how Lelenia will be spec'd

[Marroc]

Just adding ... rogues are screwed.

20/0/41 and 41/20/0 are nearly impossible to beat as a rogue now...

The first having healing so we can't just out burst damage you... and the second having SHIT tons of damage mitigation and oh ya 50% damage reflection when you're shielded (which is always >_< )...

[Shadowspeak]

OH MY GOD, FUCK YES BLIZZARD, FUUUCCCKKK YESSSS!!!!!

[Shadowspeak]

[Lupen]

Stormcrow's been around in the model viewer for a while, Zust... Though it would be absolutely bitchin' if they re-added it.

[Shadowspeak]

I CAN SUMMON SHADES, FUCK YES!!!

[Rajjah]

Druids are finally getting the crow!? yaaay this actually might get me to start up my druid again...no wait, he's on a pvp server. I don't like it there. I really like what i'm seeing with these new spells, some really imaginative ones. That demon seed one for the warlock seems crazy though. And i'm not really liking the sound of the mage invis. 8 seconds and alls you can do is see other invis people. It will serve a nice purpose but still...will have to see that one in action.

[Shadowspeak]

Ok. I appologize for my explosion but seriously... I love blizzard now.. this will TOTALLY fit into what I wanted shadowspeak to be like.

[Rajjah]

No kidding shadowspeak, i'm actually concidering that a priest be my first new class when bc comes out.

[Shadowspeak]

Disciplin looks pretty nasty...but now I cant shield as often.


But who neds a shield when you got SHADOWMEND and SHADES!


MUHAHAHAHA!!!!

Edit: oh, lets not forget an extra +15% chance to crit with mindblast and shadowword DEATH!

Sounds worse than it is. Shield only absorbs around 1k damage, and it deals 50% of the damage absorbed by the shield. So, reflects around 500.

[Rajjah]

My only problem is whether to roll one of the new races, or stay with the originals, seeing how everyone will be flocking to roll the new races. Only i'll want to play the new areas.

[Daala]

Hehe, being a warlock, I'm going to be positively racing to hit 70, particularly if we get class mounts. Or if a Nether Drake is feasible.

But when I'm cooling down, Blood Elf all the way. And maybe Draenei, we'll see.

[Fallacy]

I'm not actually that impressed with Shadow Mend. It's sort of, meh...

[Pythre-Co]

Oh my god, warriors are screwed. >_< /reroll AGAIN

[Mohan]

I'm not actually that impressed with Shadow Mend. It's sort of, meh...

I've never played a priest past level 10, but I gotta agree here. I understand the reasoning behind Shadow Mend - gives shadow priests the ability to do some healing when necessary. But to make it the 41 point talent? I would've expected something with a little more BANG to it for the top shadow talent.

[Chavie]

for now i am happy with the tree, but the overall feeling is one of sameness, and as you said nothing with a BANG. but shades of darkness makes up for that!

[Mohan]

You're right, Chavie. Shades of Darkness, I think, would've made for a good 41 point shadow talent. I just don't really see the justification behind holy or discipline priests being able to summon them.

I can see it now...

Holy priest: "I shall summon the powers of the Light and call forth a great Holy Nova to smite my enemies! And comrades, I have created a Lightwell, so you may bask in the glory of the Light and be healed! Oh yeah, and here are some Shades of Darkness too...


PS: Holy priests should totally have to talk like that too. :twisted:

1. yes, i think moving shadow mend down in the tree a little and putting shades of darkness as the 41-point spell would be superb!

2. i have considered making a character who talks like that, a veritable space cadet, but i realize i already have one character who talks funny, so i stopped myself.

3. there is no three. there is, in fact, less than three, which sums up my feelings towards the priest class. <3

[Caelyn]

Well considering some of the other 41 point talents out there, I was well unimpressed with what Bliz had to offer. Although I did laugh, the talents were released as my main and her guild were in the middle of Naxx and we were on a 10 min break and one of the shadow priests came back pissed because now "Damn it now I can't use the excusse that I'm in shadow form and couldn't heal your sorry/stupid/ ass." To which we all laughing told him that now he too can be a healbot... just in a nice shadowy whole in the wall.

But in all fairness, I'm loving the shades.. I just wonder how much dmg they can do.. and how much dmg they can take before going away again.

Well it's Blizz so i'm guessing Totems FTL :x

10 points if you can actually sing this tune and know the real one.

[Cyrass]

This almost make me want to play Calleo again. Too bad leveling as anything but Shadow sucks.

Not true! Lvling as a Holy priest is easy. Just do instances all day, everyone wants a piece of the Holy pie!!

I suppose your right. Guess it's just because I alt-play when I am burned out on instances, bad idea for a disc/holy priest level. Damn me and my wanting to make a strictly non-shadow priest!

You can play with me! I'm a tank and I could always use a good healer. ^^

Sure, send me a tell some time tommorow when TN gets up.

*JOY..!!!*

[Teelia]

I don't have anything to add. I just wanted to share that I lol'ed when I saw some of Shadowspeaks posts. I actually got the mental image of him doing the Xander dance around his house, waking up his neighbors with screams of joy. hehe.

unless you shield just as hit you for 3k... depending on how mechanics work it could very well reflect 1.5k back at me even though the shield only absorbed 1k

If someone hits me for 3k, it will only absorb 1k of the damage, thats how shield works. Look on your combat log next time you hit a priest with a shield on. it will probly say something like:

... hit for 338 (236 absorbed)

[Lelenia]

I'm almost betting that the Shades will be non-attackable targets, kinda like the ghosts that spawn from a few mobs in ZG...either that, or they'll hit like a sonofabitch and have 17 health.

its a level 66 spell and their only up for 8 seconds... they BETTER hit FREAKING HARD!!!

[Zasein]

One word: NERF

And: SO NOW SHADOW PRIESTS CAN HEAL TOO. I THOUGH THE WHOLE FLAW IN SHADOWFORM WAS THAT YOU COULD NOT HEAL. WTF.

Shades of darkness look good though... shadow mend should be DICHED. Replace with shades of darkness on the talent tree plz.

... so what if it was more than one word.

um...you get elemental minions, and those sick talents so... no?

These are EPIC talents and spells, plus, at level 70 a 900 point heal isn't nearly as powerful as the other.

[Shadowspeak]

Sorry... still upset about this silly Zasien post.

Shamans get to duel wield.

An insane totem.

A shield that heals them the dammage that I can deal.

I don't want to hear comlaints about a low-healing spell that allows me to not exit from shadowform. Either way, in a fight I end up rightclicking my shadowform buff to heal anyhow. And its a 41 talent point, it is SUPPOSED to be godly.

[Malebrignon]

I'm seriously unimpressed.

Go check out the Warlock talents.

Any priest that's not shadow is getting TBC-shafted.

[Shadowspeak]

Those talents are meant for healing. And shadowpriests need some loving because we get shafted PvE.

[Kazthul]

Wow. Maudib just might have to come back after all.

I know... what i'm saying is it depends on if the reflection is done on the raw damage done to the shield, or on the absorbed damage...

[Shadowspeak]

"Causes 50%of the damage absorbed by your Power Word: Shield to reflect back at the attacker. This damage causes no threat"

[Marroc]

"Causes 50%of the damage absorbed by your Power Word: Shield to reflect back at the attacker. This damage causes no threat"

aye, but blizzard has been known to have missleading tooltips...

[Shadowspeak]

true. But if was based on a hit, do you know how broken it would be?

So incredibly broken...they wouldnt have put it in..


I think...

[Marroc]

lol... *looks at wow* nah, they'd never do something like that *stiffles a giggle*

[Shadowspeak]

Disc priests might actually be decent at PvP. Not as good as shadow, but decent at least.

[Marroc]

they'll definatly have a lot more staying power than they did before... i used to 2 shot them... now even if i do that i'm gonna take some hits in the process...
