BETA: New glyphs for healing Priests

The latest crop of healing Priest glyphs have finally made it onto the beta and can be purchased from everyone’s favourite oversized Tauren in the Temple of the Jade Serpent. I have to say I’m not impressed. I wish I was, I really do but they’re either massively situational (i.e. require you to be dead!), [...]

BETA: Glyph of the Heavens

The current beta build (15657) brought Priests our first cosmetic minor glyph. Glyph of  the Heavens – Your Levitate targets will appear to be riding on a cloud for the duration of the spell. Well would you have your eyes open if you were standing on a cloud? The cloud is dynamic which is a [...]

BETA: Spectral Guise

I want to like this ability, I really do but I’m struggling to find anything positive at all to say about it. Regardless of whether you consider it in the light of PvP or PvE it has several obvious flaws. White hits count towards the three hits. Thus fast hitting classes like rogues break you out [...]

BETA: Holy Priests two weeks in.

General Thoughts I was bit upset at the thought of losing Mindblast and Mindspike but the glyph of Atonement alongside the reduced cast time on Smite has allayed my fears a lot. The healing part of Atonement also procs our Holy Mastery and whilst in Smite Chakra we’ve got decent punch, especially for questing/grinding. Having [...]

BETA: Thoughts on PvPing as a Healing Priest in MoP.

Disclaimers and stuff: First Beta build and everything is likely to change between now and live. Blizzard have admitted that the Priest Class still is a work in progress and things are missing/being switched around. Crowd Control Fear is back as baseline and Holy still has access to Chastise (the disorient). Our other cc options [...]

Mog Madness – Round One: Elune-Adore

This is my entry into round one of Mog Madness, the transmogrification contest being hosted by J.D Kenada, Effy and Ancient. Of all my characters, the one whose personality is the most defined in my mind has to be Erinys. She might currently be languishing in Orgrimmar as a Bloodelf but at heart she is [...]

Banishing the Dispel Blues – Rough thoughts on Dispels in MoP

One of the many things being altered for the Mists of Pandaria is defensive dispelling. All the defensive dispels, (Dispel Magic, Cleanse, Purify Spirit and Nature’s Cure) now have an eight second cooldown. The tooltips have also been changed to read: (Priest’s Dispel Magic) Dispels magic on the target, removing all harmful spells from yourself [...]

Transmogrification Tuesday – Running away with the Faire

I remember the day I fell in love with Ray Bradbury as if it were yesterday. I was eight years old, sitting in my old school gym wishing the minute hand on the clock would move just that little bit faster. The last day before the holidays was always a bit of free for all, [...]

Transmogrification Tuesday – Green grow the rushes oh!

This is my Undead Priest, Dornröschen. One of her most prized possessions is her Arathi basin tabard so I thought I’d base her outfit around it. The shoulders are Priest only and the helm is Horde only unless you are a Warlock so it’s a fairly specific ensemble but then since the Alliance don’t get [...]
