Potential BC Priest Talents

Group shield and god-mode aside, here's the most probable priest talents for the expansion I've managed to find among the WoW forums of the internet. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long for an official talent release from Blizzard.

Bleh, if you ask me. I understand the role of the priest, but it seems the other classes are getting some pretty spiffy talents, while it appears that we will be further pushed towards pure healbotism. I'm really hoping for some talents that give us any sort of role in groups outside of keeping the bars full, or talents that assist soloing or PvP in some way. These potential talents are essentially improvements for whoever we're with, rather than improvements for our own class. I'm prepared to be angry/disappointed when they officially release priest talents.

*sings* We...are the Champions...my friends....

LoL Champion = Priest Slave mwuahahaha. oh wait that may be other way around!

Lol, I'm willing to retract all my complaints if Queen is the casting sound for the champion talents.

ROFL!

So... if you happen to be the Champion to a priest... does that mean the priest can cast a mana-free Mind Control whenever you wish upon the Champion?

Emmalina · August 29, 2006, 10:12:37 AM

Oo, I like the way you think Koth. Hopefully that talent won't be something suggestive (i.e. Seduce)

*gasp* who let the druid in here?!

I picked the locks for him

Who let the locks out?

I love the survivability of my priest, but yeah, it's slow going when grinding levels/questing.

I do understand that if we did too much damage, along with our bubble/heals, we would be way to strong. man, think about it... spell DPS of a mage with bubble/heals.. FTW !

If you arn't shadow spec you arn't allowed outside of instances.

But...but...but......I have Geno's cellphone!!!

Aha, a great thought un4! I think its plausible to assume that Blizzard will further emphasize the priest role as a group healer by introducing in BC the worldwide priest class change:

Dependence

Damage dealt and healing done by the priest will be reduced by 90% when not a member of a party. Effect lasts until priest joins a party or raid group.

un4 · August 30, 2006, 02:49:17 PM

Hah! I like that one.

Face Melting

You automatically win every Battleground you enter. That's right, Shadow priests are just that cool. Go eat a baby or kick a puppy or something, because you're obviously too badass to be playing WoW.
