The PTR: 19 Priests

This is really long delayed and I'm sorry for those of you who have been waiting. I've been busy with irl stuff the past few days so didn't get around to doing this write up. Btw for anyone who wants to get on the PTR to check things out but was discouraged by the Locked realm populations, now would be a great time to try it out. The only locked realm is Anasterian and the others are all either Low or Medium. 


The first general thing to note is, for those of you who don't know, priests lose wands in MoP so this might affect those of you that use it to hit cap. On the PTR I've been using my brother's priest Taken. 1829 Health, 550 Mana (The standard), 59 in combat MP5, 194 SP and 15.52% Spell crit are his current stats.

	Mana Cost	Normal Dmg/Healing	Crit Dmg/Healing
Penance	19	311 Dmg/Healing	652 Dmg/Healing
Flash Heal	36	800	Mid 1600s
Power Word: Shield	37	900 or 1.134*	N/A
Smite	16	232	480
Holy Fire	11	250	500
Power Word: Pain	24	82 Ticks and Instant	164
Psychic Scream	16	N/A	N/A
Psyfiend	22	N/A	N/A

*The spellbook tooltip says 1,134 while the buff tooltip says 900. I currently don't have anyone to test duel to find out which is correct.

Right now priests are looking as strong as ever. They still keep a lot of their utility, I like the idea of Psyfiend/Mind Control in the bracket and although they probably have a weaker heal than Pallys and Shamans, Penance and Shield are both still very nice.
