So, last night I logged on to WoW and some of my guildmates were preparing a Heroic ToC run.  I was interested in going myself, but there was a problem.  None of our tanks were online.  Luckily, my GM SamuelTempus (Hey look, he blogs as well) has a well geared Prot Paladin, so he volunteered to switch characters and I got an invite.

Well, I walked in, we got buffed up, and when I looked around I realized we had four priests in the group and we were all in Shadow Form.  We started trying to figure out who was going to heal, when a suggested was floated.  "What about Vampiric Emprace?" Well, VE does stack, and we were all in a group... the priests would get 40% of our combined DPS as heals, the Tank would get 20%, he could use Judgement of Light and we could keep PW:S up on everybody.  So we gave it a shot...

So, this is something I've been paying attention to over the last few days, but I haven't seen much in the way of real information being presented.  However, after doing a few tests of my own, it does look like Glyph of Mind Flay isn't decreasing the snare effect right now.  What makes the matter confusing is that Ghostcrawler indicated that the change actually hasn't hit live servers yet...

Ok guys, I have to admit that I think we got a pretty abysmal Q&A.  There's probably a bit of bias in that statement, on my part, but the entire thing felt rushed.  Many of the questions couldn't have been gleaned from the questsions being asked by priests, and had to have been generated internally.  Even with these kind of "softball" questions, the answers were often flat out bizzare.  Now, I tend to be a bit conservative in my forum posts, and I'll even stick up for Blizzard when they deserve it.  In this case however, I really feel let down, not just by the answers to the questions we got, but also from questions that should have been answered but weren't.

So far the 3.2 patch hasn't had very many changes to Priests. The Shadow tree has gotten some minor tweaks, but they're almost entirely PVP related. There are, however, two very significant PVE changes that you have to dig deep into the patch notes to find.
