I was doin my usual morning readings at work when i came across this site
http://wotlk.wikidot.com/spells-talents-professions
i was getting really excited when i saw the alpha talents for priests and what not and i went to the changes they are thinking of making to priest spells. when i came across this...
Circle of Healing now has a 8 second cooldown.
EEEEK. Q.Q
ps. sorry if this has already been discussed. i searched for old topics but it was inconclusive.

shame about CoH but look at the shadow talents! Fear can cause horror, fade removes movement impairing effects and more importantly, we get aoe!
If those 3 things happen i'll be pretty happy.

The actual fact of the matter is that overpowered AoE healing is making healing in raids boring and trivial. With the changes being made to some spells making them range-based raid-wide heals, I expect a disgusting amount of AoE damage in WOTLK encounters.

and you're comparing apples to oranges.
There is a reason why this spell was invented

And no, Priests will never be pallys in cloth, rofl. No class can beat out our power heals. Besides, I sooooo want to see the new defensive spells/effects/what-ever is being added to the Priest healing.

The aoe looks sweeeeeeeee-eeet! Not fond of the VT nerf though, but hopefully blizz will get to their senses there. 2% return is pitiful, they might as well remove it altogether then and just make VT another DoT... :P Hopefully they'll at least make it cheaper to cast if the mana return's gonna go down, but it'll sure as heck hurt our sustainability, even though we won't have to recast the uber expensive SW:P as much thanks to MF refreshing it. In battlegrounds we won't be standing around MFing a lot, we cast our dots and rely a lot on them doing the work and VT healing back our mana. With SW:P costing nearly 900 mana per cast already and much less return on it... UGH! :(
I am tankful for the VT nerf. Less utility, more pew pew dps!!

Not too thrilled about still having to spec 23 points into Disc to get a buff they should just make trainable, but if the new 51 point talent stays the way it is now, I can't imagine it being worth grabbing in a PvE holy build. Trading 2 points in Divine Province (the talent above Guardian Spirit) for Imp. DS, even with the nerf to it (2 points now only buffs spell damage and healing by 6% instead of 10). Guardian Spirit seems more tailored for PvP since you would have to know a death is incoming to use it effectively.

Yeah, it looks like Disc is supposed to be the "utility" healing spec, which will be great in pvp. And holy is the raiding spec, that will not totally fail at pvp.
It will be the same as it is now, holy for healing in raids, disc for pvp. The only difference is that disc will be better in pve than it is now, and holy better in pvp.
Shadow will be the all around raid/pvp dps spec, which is great, and I am going to continue being shadow to enjoy the OP at the beginning of the expansion, then QQ at the nerfs in later patches.
I just hope the fix scaling, WTB just +shadow damage on our Tier Sets.....please.....

quit complaining that you don't have chain heal. No, you're not the ultimate healer. Chain heal can also only hit 3 targets, and is not instant cast. The fact of the matter is, being able to hit anybody in the raid and giving it an 8 second cooldown is a huge buff over what CoH currently has.Yeah, if you're doing Gruul's maybe. *snort* Any fight that dishes out some AoE is instantly hot for a Circle Priest as it is (your melee is all in the same group for synergies, as are your casters anyways. That is, unless your RL is a complete idiot). The fact that it's a spammable instant AoE is what made it awesome in the first place.
On another note entirely, I personally think these so called changes are b.s. because:
a) there's just too much going on here as far as changing dynamics of the class (which is really only half a reason, possible, but not plausible)
-and-
b) Last I checked, all Alpha Testers signed NDA's (non-disclosure agreements). Which means, this is either illegal (I smell a 10 million dollar lawsuit, not worth the risk) or 100% bogus, and I'm willing to bet on the latter.
People just are so desperate to know what's coming that they eat up misinformation, and take it as face value (I used to be the same, trust me >.>)
