I guess you haven't noticed all the infractions in the Banhammer forum that deal with this type of post.

Original Post:

i didn't know that tehre weren't going to be different levels for consume magic, and i was also not clear on exactly how random it was. I know this is not a class ability thread, but i thought it was pretty stark how the BE racials don't fit at all into a SP's playstyle while the other races priest abilities are all in varying degrees much more useful.

the dranaei racial (symbol of hope) seems PVE based in fact and scales up to lvl 70 (giving 333 mana every 5 secs for 15 seconds.. that is a GROUP buff of an extra 1K mana).

This doesn't even count Fear Ward...

humans don't get much, but they do get feedback another ability that actually scales with level,

UD get devouring plague, which while not overpowering, is another dot spell for the SP.
And once again scales.

Even star shards is a nice DOT for shadow priests since it get +170% bonus dmg and is arcane. And once again scales with level.

Trolls get shadowguard which is good as it is affected by all the other shadowbuffs, and it is essentially free. besides Berzerking is very viable in PvE and is essentially another free spell haste ability.

Don't misunderstand this isn't as much of a "Alliance is overpowered" rant, but much more of a, why don't they just make Consume magic and the BE racials more scaleable at the very least or useful ideally.

I mean seriously.. at lvl 70 Consume magic (with a 2 min cooldown)give ~450 mana.. how in the world can that compare to the dranai class ability? It isn't even in the same stratosphere.

If i could choose, why wouldn't i want a dranai shadow priest over a BE shadowpriest?
