All which has been revealed thus far were quite to be expected and not surprising imho. I'll be looking out for the talent tree tho

the addition of group buff versions for Divine Spirit and Shadow Protection

Nice!

Well, nice for priests. And druids. And shamen, even.

Nice for all, healers, apparently. Except paladins.

RANT INCOMMING:

Why does Blizzard hate us so much? :cry:

I mean, really. They make it explicity clear with 1.9 that NO paladins are NOT supposed to tank or melee in raids, and give out healing a little bit of a boost (but not much, and only then if you spec deep into Holy).

Then they take a look around and realise, if we gear up away from plate (omg teh laladin got plate! imba1!!11!), we can actually come close to priest healing over an extended period, and, damn, Paladins are out healing Druids (who can spec to tank or dps in raids, but nevermind, they should be able to do everything better than palains), and ohm well, shamans too. Lets boost ALL the healing classes, EXCEPT Paladins. I mean, I hear that SOME paladins can get into pick up groups. That must be a bug. Better to ensure there is no doubt that whatever roll needs filling in a party, its better filled by someone else.

Really, eh.... wtf does this have to do with Paladins? All Blizzard is doing here is giving priests a group version of an existing spell, thus making it less annoying to buff multiple people with it. Hey, perhaps they should do this for blessings too, hm? Make something like 'raid blessings' which last 15 mins? But noooo, Blizzard hates paladins, so I guess thiss won't ever happen.

Or something.

CERTAINLY NOT DENMARK EWW
All I saw about druids where HT getting more mana efficiant. That means squat. D:

Good to see priest spells get shorter casts. You already have flash heal, so it's only deserving. ;P
No really, maybe now restos on druid forums can stop the we're-better-than-priests propaganda ^^

:D

Braque was refering to the 10% more mana efficiency on Greater Heal (Priest), Healing Wave (Shaman) and Healing Touch (Druid).

I guess he shouldn't quote the specific part about the group versions of those 2 buffs then :)

What I meant by my comment is that those 2 group versions are specifically nice. Making it easier for us players to buff people. Saves time, saves annoyance. Apparently Blizzard listens to us. Which is good. And I thought Braque disagreed with that, because obviously Blizzard did not listen to paladins for making group buffs (blessings).

Sorry, I misquoted :( I thought i'd cut'n'pasted the bit from the blue post, but I see now I messed up. Sorry. Was ranting about the mana efficiency changes, as Ayu noticed. (Thanks Ayu!)
