@Ghostcrawler Ok im really curious when you will fix disc priests in pvp we are completely broken mana, healing, and so on.

Greg Street ‏@Ghostcrawler
@SoccerstarMike Talking about it. I think we've finally been convinced that Disc is a little low (in PvP and PvE).

Also

Greg Street ‏@Ghostcrawler
@bentheozzy We're looking at Rapture mana and Divine Aegis as Disc-oriented ways to give them across the board buffs.

Assuming they bring mana regen and healing in line with other healers, no one will pick a disc priest over others simply because:
-Other healers have more and better defensive cooldowns.
-They have a second cc(some of them have a third)
-They have interrupts.
-They are less susceptible to getting trained. Disc has no mobility, no survivability.

Unless they nerf every other healer except monk and buff disc with stuff above, there will be no disc priest comps this expansion except some elitist 8x rank 1 people doing good with RMP.

PS: If you exclude the fact that all 3 healers have unbelievably good instant healing, why do shamans have aura mastery? Why do palas have denounce and 3 cc spells? Why do druids have displacer beast and ironbark on 30 sec cooldown and aoe disorient?

the wrong thing to do would be to bring disc and monk up to shaman/druid levels, what the game needs is for mana of druid shaman and paladin nerfed to priest levels, along with other abilities being tweaked because yes druid/shaman have alot more defensive CDs to work with.  It would just make the game even worse if there was another OP healer. Blizzard needs to stop buffing classes just to make them on par with others, they need to nerf classes to make them on par with others.

PRIEST GOT HOTFIXED TODAY OMFG YES

[Absoqt]

Yeah. Though Divine Aegis requires crits and Rapture still returns less than the cost of 1 shield.

[mackazar]

These are huge buffs...lol

[Absoqt]

I guess if you gem and gear for spirit you can get Rapture to return as much mana as a shield, and this is not counting any procs that benefit it as well.
As for divine aegis, crit heals are very strong (flash heal crit with 4 piece, grace and aegis is more than your HP)

We see a lot of improvements: Divine aegis has been hotfixed to 50% (up from 30%).
They are bringing back Focused Will, which is also great.
Sad thing is, many of us forgot/don't realize that all this barely makes up for the %15 shield nerf that happened 2 weeks ago.
We practically are back to the state of disc at the launch of Mop, with a %5 extra absorb from divine aegis.
