Fearward

[ruzai]

oh boy, 3 minutes! I hope they at least make it castable in shadowform.

[Earrl]

Fear Ward has and always will be overrated. They could have kept it a 30 second CD and the ability still wouldn't be over the top. Every Priest having it would just crush Fear even worse than it already is (considering how popular Priests are in the Arena). The class that would bitch most about Fear Ward would ironically enough be Priests...so be happy its on a 3 minute timer.

[Dergybear]

I disagree. I think fearward, having it allocated to just 2 races made it very unbalancing.

Especially in 2's and 3's. When you run in, blow fear, and get 3 immunes, or spend your time, globals and mana dispelling a single target to the ground so you can actually CC.

Priests, already having very limited CC had it VERY rough against targets with fearward.

Very, very good change in my opinion. One fearward, one target, once every 3 minutes. Still great, but not unbalanced.

The new ability they gave dwarves and dranei to compensate looks even more OP than fearward.

A second instant interrupt would win me so many more games.

I will agree with that comment...for 2v2, and 3v3, racials certainly make more of a difference, but 5v5 is where the game is supposedly balanced, and imo, racials don't seem to stand out as much there as they do in the other brackets.

[Biosafety]

fearward is the most awesome thing in the game, its going to be so good for my 5v5( the other healer is a druid)

[Hereoh]

Its BS IMO. /agree that the new racial looks pretty OP, and that's coming from a Dwarf Priest ...

[Dergybear]

Yea... another incapacitate.. Awesome. Cant win em all, can we? Having three fear breaks is kinda nice though. If it deals holy damage, I doubt you can use it in Shadowform. I guess thats good.

Cant imagine though being a dwarf sPriest. Fear/Silence/Talent. Thats alot of CC from an f'n priest.

But like you said, you've got 3 fear breaks :P Also, yeah sucks that it won't be useable in shadowform.

This is actually going to suck, yet another responsibility in 5's.

Not only do I have to back up heal, mana burn, chain debuff, kite, tank, MD, now I have to work out with everyone else an interrupt rotation. They are going to have to remove global cooldowns for dwarfs imo.

[Karebear]

The only thing im disappointed about is how undead are going to have will of the forsaken and fearward. Thats crazy.

Fear was not rly that big problem althought you still hat to react to counter it, now its a passive counter. So many times you loose manadrain war against a dwarf priest since ur first fear is immune and he fears + 2 drains.

Problem for me being ud rogue still was not fear, but is melee, and timing chastise + trinket or in your case stoneform could rly help getting the edge needed to get away. As for me its always instant cripple and instant harmstring as far they did not spammed it already.

hex of weakness lol

Sometimes I wish I was a troll so I could make the team Ele Shaman/Shadow Priest/Warlock/Mage/Pally. Having 20% healing reduction would be nice.

eh, i rarely ever use it in arena cuz i arena with a rog in all brackets. and hex of weakness doesnt allow him to stack his wound poisons. but trust me, that 20% does not even come close to having devouring plauge, desp. prayer, wotf ( ya i know its not a priest racial, but still a racial none the less only available to ud priest) fear ward ( just talking bout right now, not in 2.3 >_>)etc.

the only time i actually used it alot was when i did 2v2 with a warlock, but even then its not needed or game breaking like other racials could be. b/w warlock and spriest cc's they can stop heals just fine.

and ya, that 5v5 make up sounds like it'd be fun :P

This may come off as me sounding like a noob, but what exactly do you mean by 'chain debuffing'? I don't play 5v5 too often, and am curious of all the roles other priests take on there.

/agree thats why i like playing shadow in 5's :) Holy in 3's is where its at

pretty sure hes meaning dispelling offensively (removing opposing teams buffs)

It has a cast time... I can't remember what it was but I saw it on the PTR.

[locoroco]

.5 seconds I believe.
