Going Priestly in patch 2.4

Going Priestly in patch 2.4 Adam Holisky

Here in the US, you can't really arrest someone for selling gold in-game -- it's against Blizzard's Terms of Service, so they can ban you from the game or even file suit against you, but it's not actually illegal. But in China, under communism, things are apparently a little different. Two gold farmers have actually been arrested by the government for "unfair revenue distribution" -- apparently the two had a disagreement about how to distribute the over $200,000 they had made from selling gold in World of Warcraft.

wow gold With patch 2.4 live, lets take a look at what it's offering those of the more Priestly persuasion. Gear, a few talent and spell changes, and some new fun in the new instances will be a boon for your Priest.

For our Shadow brothers, you can now look forward to Fear Ward in Shadowform and a somewhat nerfed Vampiric Touch (they've fixed the bug where casting lower ranks wasn't penalized like other healing spells are).

Disc priest, like Nethaera, can look forward to a slightly buffed Inner Focus (though in reality it's not a very big buff, just Chastise, Starshards, and Shadowguard corrections in that they'll no longer trigger the Inner Focus charge). Reflective Shield will not break CC, and a penalizing effect has been added to lower ranked Power Word: Shield. Chastise is now instant cast, and will no longer dis orient the target. And of course, Power Infusion has been changed.

Holy rollers will like that Silent Resolve now affects a wider range of spells. Mass Dispel will affect 10 targets instead of 5.

There will be several pieces of gear added as well.

Most of the new gear will be between item level 141 and 156. It's really top tier gear that should last you well into Wrath of the Lich King, if not up to level 80 and then some. Think of all of this gear as the top gear in Naxx pre-bc.

For Shadow Priests (and Disc Priests pieces of gear), the key pieces of new raid and craftable gear includes:

Bracers of Absolution
Cord of Absolution
Treads of Absolution
Annihilator Holo-Gogs
Gloves of Tyri's Power
Helm of Arcane Purity
Leggings of Calamity
Pantaloons of Growing Strife
Shoulderpads of Knowledge's Pursuit

For Holy Priests (and some of you Disc lovers), gear includes:

Cuffs of Absolution
Belt of Absolution
Boots of Absolution
Powerheal 9000 Lens
Handguards of the Dawn
Cowl of Light's Purity
Pantaloons of Calming Strife
Shroud of Redeemed Souls
Shawl of Wonderment

Some of the notable weapons include:

Grand Magister's Staff of Torrents
Reign of Misery
Heart of the Pit
Archon's Gavel

There is bound to be more gear then is known right now, and the above lists are by no means exhaustive. With two bosses that still haven't been killed, we don't know for sure what all of the top and final gear will look like. Further, we don't know the drop rate on any of these. It might be as high as 20%, or as low as 3%.

What do you think of Priests in patch 2.4? Personally, I'm not seeing many reasons to be upset, and if anything, the extra gear is going to be pretty nice. Patch 2.4 sounds great, but what's in it for you? Find out on our Sunwell Isle page where we list the impact on classes, professions, PvP, Raiders and many other playstyles and interests.
