Hello! Well we might as well get this started. Where are you going to put your talents? What have you already done?
EDIT: This post was started during beta. It is a discussion, and I have learned a lot since. I don't like to mislead poeple, so i have edited it drastically. Feel free to do the same.
Oh yea, and please read the priest talents before posting.
Since this is beta, I've been kinda arbitrarily placing them. I was so sick of getting owned i put all 5 points i had in Silent resolve. Which reduces aggro (on damage spells only) by 20%. (level 14 atm) I duo with a rouge, so that really hasn't helped me much.
EDIT: Completely wortless talent. It only reduces aggro on damage spells. I found that if grouped, If i was concerned about getting aggro, i usually wasn't casting any damage spells because my attention was on healing. As such i wiped these points. Of course since it is aggro related, it is worthless solo.
Improved Power Word: Shield looks great, -15 seconds for 3 talent points. Mental agility and mental strength look great too! Could always use more mana. (btw +int gear is a big help) But I find myself needing more damage so far.
EDIT: I no longer have any shadow talents. I wish I had experimented with them more. I went disc/holy. Build is below.
So, i might wipe all my points and put them somewhere else. I'm looking into building around the shadow spells. Mind flay, shadow weaving and shadow reach look nice. Any experienced priest able to comment on damage dealing later in your careers?
So far my rouge friend can solo about ~3-4 times faster than me, so i think i should focus on my weakness rather than making my party abilities stronger. Priests are so useful in parties as it is. I get people 5-6 levels above me asking me to help. Get good xp too. Sucks when you get a pop though.
What are your thoughts? Open beta and closed beta please reply! d(^.^)b
