HOLY DPS BATMAN!

PW:Barrier- Any idea on the stats on it @ lvl 85? Or are those it. Because if they are, the total damage absorbed is way too low, expecially since health pools and damage are going up.

I am VERY disapointed that Lightwell hasn't been changed and I hope will all of my priestliness that it gets looked at.

Everything else looks pretty cool. However, most of the shadow tree looks unfinished which makes me sad. I am also digging the mirror image thing. Just wondering can a player kill or stop the aparition before it reaches it's target, or be killed by AoE damage? Or is it the amination just looks like us. Also, how fast is "slowly?" Walking speed? 75% run speed?

Side note #1: Nom Nom Nom, must be kept as the name. It has to be finalized.

Side note #2: I thought Spirit in a DPS tree was going away. Then why are Priests, druids, and shamans getting it as hit rating? I expect it is to reduce the itemization per tier of content. But then will we have to roll on healer gear just to stay hit capped?

EDIT: Can you see a viable holy DPS/healing hybrid? There for when things get intensive but can pew pew if not needed to heal?

Q u o t e:
I was under the impression that only elemental and balance were going to need spirit to hit because shadow would use mage/warlock gear.

That was the initial intent, but some Shadow priests thought that felt unfair that they had to have two separate gear sets to swap from damage to healing compared to the druid and shaman, and we thought they had a point. As such it will be slightly easier to gear up as a Shadow priest since they have more gear options. Call it a perk, but probably not as powerful a one as Holy paladins having their very own gear.
