BC Beta Patch
by Laneer on Dec.01, 2006, under Beta

Not much that I’ve seen changed for the Priest in today’s beta patch. They added Tier 4 bonuses and finally a Mana Loom.
The Tier 4 bonuses were not very exciting to me.
Shadow
(2) Set: Your Shadowfiend now has 75 more stamina and lasts 3 sec. longer.
(4) Set: Your Mind Flay and Smite spells deal 5% more damage.
Holy
(2) Set: Your prayer of healing spell now also causes an additional 150 healing over 9 sec.
(4) Set: Each time you cast Flash Heal, your next Greater Heal cast within 15 sec has its casting time reduced by 0.1, stacking up to 5 times.
Of course the most exciting thing is the Banana robe which comes from the Burning Furnace is now a nifty new color!

I give up, what is sam hill is a Mana loom?

The Mana Loom is used in tailoring to create Imbued Netherweave. For some reason they placed the requirement and did not put the stupid thing in the game for 2 or 3 patches. The Tailors were not amused.

mana loom is basically an anvil for tailors. got to be in a city and you can’t take it with you.
Now to adress the issue. *Ahem* ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? I admit, the shadowfiend thing seems weak, however %5 more damage to mindflay (your prime damage abilty) is pretty bad ass. It may end up ticking for more than sw:pain.
The holy bonuses are kind of up in the air. If the (2) piece is effected by +healing then it gets a A++ from me, since it’s likely to top off your party if they’re at near full hp. The (4)piece is rather situational, however for pvp healing at least i see it being extremely valuable. A 2 second cast gheal is a lot of healing per second.
