Discipline
Borrowed Time now reduces the cast time or channel time of your next Priest spell within 6 sec by 15%, rather than granting 15% haste for 6 sec.

I hate this change. Besides being a...

So how is the nerf to atonement changing our playstyle in 5.3? On first sight it looks like a big nerf, but if we play around with using heal-penance more (which doesn't get nerfed and also benefits...

So wait, you're saying that
(14k * 1.5 * 1xrapture) - (13.5k * 3xPWS) = -5.5k
It's not 5.5k, it's -19.5k i.e. you lose almost 4 times as much as you think.

Seems like you're simply behind on facts....
