I too started playing my first toon after WOTLK. A priest to be exact.

Alot can be said about the improvment of disc's raid support througout the WOTLK expansion.

I don't know about you, but ever since soulwarding was put in place, I have been able to support the group much more quickly and effeciently.

I can't really say that disc can group heal effectively nor should it (atleast not at this point) because it just wouldn't be possible, well for most runs anyway; especially in the harder raids like TOC-25man

If blizzardf would ever want to make Disc viable for raid healing (which i highly doubt) then they would have to create some sort of Power Word: Barrier.

Though this won't happen, one can still dream.

*Ahem*

Anyways, I really wish I could have played back in the Pre-BC times. Sounds like a lot of fun, compared to now, where you can go one night in Ulduar and get like 10 epics for yourself.

I really think Blizzard should make a separate server, dedicated to patch 1.xx, but with bug fixes and the like. I'd definitely play it.

anyone know how you get the old talent tree, i know someone posted it on another post who was a good webpage in another forum on wowhead, shamefully i must tell you i forgot to bookmark it.

got into wowvault(then doing a google search), but it seems messy and quiet sure it was not same site. This site i saw linked was really well structured and had all tree until patch 2.4 in wow history.

If anyone know what i mean, please post it:)

At one point in the game, all the different races of the priest class had their own racial spell. For Dwarves I believe it was Fear Ward, Night Elves was Starshards, Humans was Feedback, Undead had Devouring Plague and Trolls had Shadowguard.

Fear Ward was eventually removed from just Dwarves and given to all the priests. They replaced it at some point, maybe with the instant heal...? Im not sure... but they did give Humans and Dwarves something to compensate for it.

They had what now is our 10th talent Holy spell: Desperate Prayer.

And Night Elves had Elune's Grace, a +20% dodge spell. Adding Draenei and BE there, they had Symbol of Hope and Consume Magic, respectively.

Editing for my story.

I mostly PvP, thus the changes on each patch affect me greatly.
In the first WotLK season, S5, Priests were down, down, down. Shadow was way too shquishy with too few resilience around. Discipline was the easiest to OOM. The utter dominance of Paladin Holy/ Death Knight as a direct counter to us (Winning the mana battle with Paladins back then was nearly impossible, mana burn was far from enough), made us struggle. And priests NEED gear to survive well in PvP.

Patch 3.1 brough us renewed hope (^^'). Gear was getting better, our mana was more stable, and we could get along. Also, Priest/Rogue could easily top ratings on 2s. PriestMageRogue is good as always has been. We had a few viable combos, tough priest/rogue, priest/DK and priest/Ret where the competitive ones; rest was viable, certainly, just not as good. Shadow, unfortunately, as it sets offensive through dots, although it is a blast on BGs, it is very hard (and gear dependant) to settle in an arena team. Cleave teams dominated 3v3, and were a near direct counter to RMP, and relatively easy to play; we struggled a little more than before, but still manage. (And may I add, the improvements in gear made me /lol at Death Knights, the super-class pre-3.1 on par with Retribution Paladins. Abolishing diseases, dispelling Chains, Dotting, shielding and laughing. Shacling their stupid Lichborne, Fearing after that, we had a counter to essentially everything they could cast on us but Anti-Magic Shell.)

Patch 3.2, the seventh season, introduced the "2v2 ratings being unable to give tier2 season weapons and shoulders" thingy. We still rock with the same combos on 2v2, but now, 3v3 seems the real thing. Bleastcleave is born, and dominant, and utterly overpowered. RMPs rarely hold against an un-CCable team, and they're able to destroy your priest in 3-4 GCDs, maybe 5 if you PS/PW:S/Renew before. There's going to be a nerf, but this team will still be around and shooting for overcoming RMP as -the- 3v3 team for the season. Shadow's getting better, but still slightly unable to hold post a couple of cooldowns, and higly vulnerable to dispels.

Honestly, I kinda miss using "Consume Magic' on my Belf priest...people would ask why I had to keep rebuffing and I had to explain I was eating my buffs.

Belf magic addiction ftw :)
