I don't actually care too much about what's said on these forums, or what I say here (and a lot of it is copy/paste). I've been around so many online forums and communities and seen it all, but...

You just named how to kill a priest with PoM, so what exactly is the overpoweredness or unbalancing thing about the spell, that it needed this 20 second cooldown nerf? Even without MS it's easy to...

The thing is, priests are glass healers. To all those that say PoM is overpowered, I'll counter with my own experiences in other PvP games. I realize the average WoW gamer probably has never heard...

That's probably why their raid buffs only last 15 minutes (it used to be 5 minutes). I imagine having your entire raid zone out every 15 minutes would get slightly annoying.
