I used to be an armor priest pre-TBC and I had great survivabilty against melee. Now a rogue will auto-kill me before I get a second fear unless I blow stoneform or get help. A warrior will maybe have to wait the minute or so it takes to run me oom with MS on, or they will burn me down quickly off the back of a couple mace stuns. Just one melee on the other team puts my life in severe danger. Rogue fights are entirely about keeping the rogue off me. That's 100% of my partner's job in that fight. Warrior fights... either it's a mirror match or we lose. There is no strategy to win beyond hoping they suck. I'd rather face a healer and TWO caster DPS on me than a healer and a melee DPS on me.

I like the priest class when taken as a whole but jeez is our survivability shithouse these days against melee. I'd trade some of our utility for the ability to be more than just a pure liability against melee. I wouldn't mind having 3 minute no charges inner fire back either. Much hate and bile for the idiots that complained about recasting it every 3 minutes. Now we get to recast it every 20 seconds.
