I’m trying to think what I would like most when soloing, in instances or in raids to improve my game playing. While AOE seems like fun, how often can you use it? It's a lot like fear...You can only use it when there is nothing to be aggroed...and lets be honest...that almost never happens. So,.AOE sounds like fun, but is it effective enough...I think not.
The #1 thing I hate going up against is a rogue...they stun and kill me before I can get a single heal off. If I stood ½ a chance with them, I could feel like a complete class. I would love some sort of trap for these type of attackers. For instance, if I could take away their weapon, slow them down and then use my already available skills to dps them enough to have them back off or at the very least give a buddy time to come up and help me that would be perfect. As it is...I just stand there and take it. And now they can use guns! I just don't like this at all.
I totally and completely love shackle! If I could use this on everything and not only on undeads I’d be the happiest priest in the world. Mages and Warlocks have traps don't they...why don't we?
I’d like the wand dps increase in the talent tree to do 25% using only 1 talent point. I think it’s important to leveling and the extra dps really helps in instances and raids. I don’t think its enough dps to make a huge difference and it doesn’t give us that much of an advantage.
Finally, and to me, most important…a priest should be able to rez themselves. If we have power over the undeads…then it stands to reason that we can bring our dead selves back to life…dang it. I don’t know about you, but the fact that shaman can do this and we can’t just burns me.
To summarize, I want:
1. A very effective trap, possibly slowing and removing weapons for a short period of time. Possibly a stun to stop from healing or attacks of some kind.
2. A 25% power increase to wands using only one talent point in the talent tree.
3. I want to be able to rez myself.

Inspired Meditation - Disc Talent
Grants you 15%/20%/25% more mana regen while OOC.

Disc holy or shadow any talent that would help avoid spell pushback while casting damaging spells without having to get crit. Res gear has made criting me a bit harder but hunters pets are almost worse than stun lock even the .5 second chastise takes 2 seconds to cast. Even if it was just against white swings or something.

As a raiding holy priest I don't need plate-armor, more healing power or more regeneration. If you play with the maximum of our talents, spells und consumables, you should overrun any other healing class expect an uber-geared gone-crazy restauration shaman.
I can not understand why every priest is crying for plate, more healing power or more regeneration. Yeah, the manual sais, we are the best healing class. That's right! YOU have to make it the best healing class .. not blizzard. You can not be the best healing class if you think "oh, that shaman over there is the better healing class" - than you have lost.
If Priests could get one thing, this should be a Global-Cooldown-Decrease to 1 second. I'm always on global cooldown in fight's and a reduction to 1 second would give the possiblite to outnumber any restauration shaman.
An alternative would be a talent like this:
Renewflow
If the priest's renew spells are active on more than 5 targets at the same time, the next Greater Heal Spell cast within 10 seconds has a 100% reduced mana cost.
Another way to get out of the 5-second-rule to insanly regenerate ton's of mana oO
Start making your priest the best healing class!

I would just like to see more talents that give more Mana Regen, More surviability and possibly a few new spells. Like, one per tree or something.
I understand about the Plate...Priests should not get plate, but i understand that they need more surviability lol
But the 'YOU have to make it' is only partly true.
I always prefer healers in this order; Paladin, Shaman, Priest then Druid.
That is only for 5-man instances tho imo.
I would say Druids are the best Off-healers in the game tho :P
But i always prefer Paladins or Shamans Main Healing over Priests.
Not saying they cant heal. Ofc they can! But they suffer badly from the comical 'OOM!' Raid Warning :P
Also - Priest should not get more Pets. They are not a pet class. Pet Classes have pure Damage trees. Plus Shadowfiend is Amazing anyway lol
Nice! You don’t think Priests need plate but you’d take a plate healer over a Priest. Huh? Wonder why that is?
Priests can heal just fine, but not as good as a Shaman or Pally…but don’t go and over power them there Priests! You go back and forth so much…is it just me or are you arguing with yourself here? =D

i've been thinking about this a bit and... i think priests need more lolsmite kind of tallents.
holy nova, lolsmite, mmm holyfire (needs to be buffed imo) ect kind of spec should be viable.
!!
build lolsmite into the disc spec and move meditation into holy?
not really sure where i was going with this =(

Prolly the best option out of everyones post here.
Priests .... WTF are u talking about!
You should have 0!!! Mana issues
No one can out heal ur greater heal, its the strongest in the game!
Cloth is a joke! it says cloth but the rule is DONT GET HIT! wth is fade for people! use it!
Our healing power is #1 in game! Resto shaman are qq'ing about CoH ... wonder why? cause its better than there chain heal (Holy Reach is needed if u wanna compete with a shaman) Haste gear + 2.4, Shaman are going to cry and prolly re-roll! hahahaha!
The right gear, the right trinks, and the right usage with spells and fsr you shouldnt EVER! go oom.
marcimi, dude. you are spot on with this post. Love the thinking on ur spell's Renewflow and gcd! love it! although the rewnew flow shoud look like this, not to make it OP
Renewflow
If the priest's renew spells are active on more than 5 targets at the same time, the next Greater Heal Spell cast within 10 seconds has a 30% reduced mana cost.
the good holy priests always have renews up in endgame raiding. and we never need anything over Rank 4 greater heal, Rank 2/3 is killer as it is standing with 2450 Healing Power. (455 mana on a rank 2) and not to mention 5% healing power on greater heals with 4/5 T6 bonus

I haven't read the whole thread, but the "plate pure-healer" concept is familiar to anyone who knows EverQuest (or D&D). That said, it's not the case in WoW so... that's that. And if I had just one thing to give priests... yeah, plate is tempting, but I think I'd go with just plain
better healing ability
. Faster cast times, lower mana cost. That, or an armor class buff you can cast on any player. Yeah, I'm sounding EQ-ish again lol.
If we're going seriously silly though, how bout an innate mp/5 bonus that increases with level? xP

So, here's something I've wanted but no one has mentioned:
I want Mind Control to have the same non-LoS-bound range as
Mind Vision
.
But maybe it's 'cos I've been playing lots of WSG recently. Just think what you could do with the enemy flag carrier...

Make mind soothe a pvp spell. making you invisible to the target of mind soothe for 15 seconds or until the target takes dmg from you. Give it a 1 min CD or something i dont care. This is the most worthless spell ever unless they changed it to work in pvp.
Edit: Also a spell that turns conjured water into wine. Give it a buff like 5 or 10 stam for 10 minutes that would be awesome!

This thread seems to be for the silly ideas of what a Priest might want as well as serious, so don’t put down those who want to have fun with it by making up crazy ideas. I really enjoy those! Lighten up!
OK…that said…Giving a Priest more mana, plate and better heals would just plain take the fun out of being a Priest for me. Managing mana and heals, while trying to stay alive is what makes this class so much fun. Being able to do this in say, Kara makes me feel very accomplished with my toon. I would have it no other way.
I still say having Shackle work on almost everything would be nice...like the ice trap for hunters. Then at least questing would be easier for Holy Priests...and PvP, and we'd be more desirable in groups...as we get passed up for other classes all the time.
Or, wouldn’t it be great if our Fear had a d.o.t. effect and it kept the target in rage so we can still target them? Now that would give us a fighting chance, with Starshards, Shadow Word: Pain, Holy Fire and Shadow Word: Death! I’d love to throw those on a rogue! Even if I died, he’d still be taking damage! Nice!
I totally loved the water into wine idea! LOL...that was appropriate indeed.
