Balancing Priests (It's
Harder Than it Looks!)
Plucked straight from the ongoing discussion on the official World of
Warcraft forums, Byron "Messiah" Mudry takes on this hot topic. Since
the beginning of time--hmm, okay, since WoW's launch--there has been
disharmony among men (and women) who play priests. The problem has been
the inclusion of several "racial talents" and the perceived lack of
balance between them. Some are very good, some are down right useless.
The most controversial though has always been the dwarf Fear Ward
ability.
I've played both factions to max level, and raided on both. Honestly, I
can't say it was any harder or easier with either faction. Sure they
are different and played significantly different (until the cross
faction pally/shaman release with the Burning Crusade), but we got
through each encounter given time and skill.
