Q u o t e:
Meditation is also going to geta bit of a bump up and it will increase to 10/20/30% mana regen as well.

Hats off for this. Spirit has needed this ever since 3-piece Trans was nerfed. (I know the bonus was too powerful to have on gear, but making it a talent or baseline ability was necessary to save Spirit, which it looks like you're doing now. Thanks.)

Mages get 15% off a base spell, Mage Armor, and can get the other 15% from a 3 point talent. I'm not impressed with this change. They obviously knew this was a problem back when they created MAge Armor, yet left us out in the cold.

they were doomed by the devs. Arwen respecced to shadow, Gimli switched to pvp full time, Legolas can't do enough damage to raid anymore, and Gandalf has started to charge for water

Yay. I sent a text to our druid CL when I saw this because I was so excited.
Neth, are there plans to buff the Restoration tree equivalent to Meditation as well?

Will PS still be 65% when we cast it on our own character or 40% all around?

Considering Imp DS, blessing of kings, food buff, elixir of draenic wisdom, a mage is still going to be around 300-320 spirit in a raid.

And mage armor grants 30%, not 15%

Wow, they just doubled your mana regeneration, and you aren't happy about that?!

I'd be abit surprised if they didn't. On the mage forums, blue stated that they are upping the mage version of Meditation to 30% as well.

As disc/holy, I have 215 spirit in my PvP gear with my DS buff.

That's 166 mana per 5 when not in the FSR. Meditation currently allows 24.9 of that to continue while casting. Doubling meditation would double that to 49.8 MP5 while casting.

Raid buffed, I've gotten around 600 spirit in raids. That would be approximately 465 mana per 5 when not in the FSR. Meditation currently allows 69.75 of that to continue while casting. Doubling meditation would double that to 139.5 MP5 while casting.

Insignificant? I don't think so.

Reread the talent. You either read it wrong or suck at Math. it's not even CLOSE to double mana regen.

It certainly is while in the 5 second rule. Do you remember when you finally got the 3 piece trans bonus?

I do, it was a substantial difference to my mana regen, it doubled it infact. (omitting the mana/5 stat on my gear of course).

Q u o t e:
Great news neth. The meditation change was definately a start. Are they going to look into priest survivability anymore? and what about spirit as a stat on gear?

On the survivability end, we're going to be having Power Word: Shield gain additional benefit from spell damage and healing bonuses. Base absorb values for ranks 10, 11 and 12 have been reduced though to go with that as a balancing factor for it. Unfortunately I don't have any concrete information on what the values will end up being right now.

Here's hoping its 43% thanks for all the info neth! Hate to be a bother, especially since you are on a great info giving mood, but do you have any new news on Priest Racials?

Edit - First!! And just for Neth, BILL DOORS is the greatest Discworld character.
