Q u o t e:
Okay, lets get stuff working as intended here.

Introduction: I want to discuss priests and PW:S. You just really gimped the class more than I could ever imagine as far as PvP healing goes. What you forgot to combine was both aspects of this game into the equation. I will admit to being a shadow specc (18/0/33) atm, but the problem you are introducing to us is gimping our survivability. If anything, inner fire needs a nerf before our shield. When I specc into imp inner fire, I can get about 50% damage reduction. How is that fair to have 50% damage reduction as a shadow priest? It's not. That is what was overpowered, not the 15 second shield. Now you will have your holy/disc priests trying to heal but everything around them will die while they spam heals on themselves and not others. Again, inner fire is overpowered, not our shield that barely absorbs parts of a pyroblast, aimed shot, execute (which we still die from), or an ambush.

An example: You have a priest who rushes into the smith in AB behind their group. The priest dismounts far back and most likely will be charged by a couple warriors. PW:S is the only thing that can save the priest on top of using a trinket while healing others and themselves. I am sure you are thinking at this point, "Just specc into imp healing." Well, there is a problem in that. Lets say I am shadow specc and I heal in group PvP but shadow dmg when I solo in PvP. You made the mana talents so far down in the Disc tree that not only do I lose 3 points into mental strength, I am putting loads of points into stuff I have absolutely no need for. The problem with losing my mana specc talents is losing a chance at being in a guild. No one is going to want a priest with a very gimped mana pool in the first place, so I have no choice but to skip out on the imp healing.

As far as damaging goes: Lets say I am not inner fire because I want to keep my guild and a healthy mana pool. I have about 9.6k mana full buff and it is a lot. That is a huge portion of mana to have and quiet healthy in making a guild happy and keeping raids up. Well, now I have to sit in the middle of combat with almost no protection. You made us so dependant on getting a trinket like the Arena Grandmaster and rotate it off with the AB absorb trinket. How is this fair? I have to use my trinket to be balanced and live for 10 more seconds? It isn't fair at all. I wont be able to kill anything. Lets say I crit a 3,000 damage mind blast (Very Unrealistic without trinket combo on). I only will get 300 out of that with imp vamp embrace. That does not make up for my 960 absorb shield. 15 seconds is nothing. I think the reason why you allowed these changes was because the mediocore players could not damage a priest through his/her shield because they are wielding unstoppable force, main handing a heartseeker, or don't have the spell damage to break us in the first place. Blame inner-fire for UF and HS not being able to break the shield, not the shield itself. Now I feel like I got to Field Marshal for nothing. What, so I can sit there in my damn glowing gear and not down a rogue because he can backstab me the whole time with nothing to stop him/her? Whatever blizz, whatever.

The breakdown: Restore PW:S back to the way it was. I can live without my extra 3 points into mental strength if you can provide this. Otherwise, I will have a rogue jumping me and 2 shotting me like a mage. Just because this is the priests turn to be changed around doesn't mean the Disc. tree was broken in the first place. I really like what you have done with the holy tree. The shadow tree is kind of confusing but whatever, it works. The only problem is that it is a rarity to see 31 disc. and I think a lot of other classes would be more willing to throw full speccs into holy or shadow now that the disc. tree is so bad for a duel specc. It just doesn't mesh with anything. You either specc 31 disc and duel into another tree or don't bother touching disc. at all.

You broke this specific spell eyonix, please fix it before it is too late.

Q u o t e:
Well if it is just +damage and healing, then basically it wasn't a buff at all except to dps priests (shadow).


Either way being entirely tuned for +healing gives me +800, so 80 additional damage? Guess it'll help a little.
