Amen to that, not to mention more warriors.

I think you guys may be slightly overestimating the buffs
They are very, very welcome but we will definitely not be critting for 4k nor would we be considered an op class (ideally, we can finally be considered balanced if things go in as is)
Mind you, we're still only looking at 200 conflagrates (400 crit) and 150/300 shadowbolts. Demo will look much more appealing after this patch though. I am most excited to see what Soul Fire looks like after the patch. I would love to put it back in my regular rotations!

Holy crap, I literally think that blizzard is purposely trying to balance OUR BRACKET.
24s no longer will have a Hit rating advantage over us in 5.2
The DPS classes that needed a buff are finally getting a buff.
In order to compensate for those DMG Buffs, they slightly improve our healers(and in this case, shaman's survival).
if this all got released tomorrow....I'd be starstruck q_q

Wishful thinking. It is just a coincidence that so many of these end game balance changes are for spells in our bracket.
I do agree there are definitely a lot of welcome changes coming in 5.2, and hopefully the base stat scaling works as advertised, but never forget, "While we [blizzard] allow trials to play indefinitely, it's not a 'supported' style of play."

Dismiss pet now has a cast time of 3 seconds (was 2 seconds).
motherfucker
Aimed Shot cast time has been been reduced to 2.5 seconds, down from 2.9 seconds. - useless
Aimed Shot damage +10%. - useless
Steady Shot damage +20%. - crap
Explosive Shot damage +15%. - useless
thanks blizz. I totally feel more inclined to play my hunter class.

Hey Annegret, didnt you just started a priest on aggramar EU?
Right now it seems to be a little nerf for arms warrior.
They get slam buffed but 25% nerf for execute is huge. Yesterday i got a 1,2k execute on a 24 rogue. He was dead after this. But 25% less means 900. I would have lost 300 dmg.
As long as overpower is not in the ptr build i will stay with a nerf for arms warriors.
Def idk cause i dont like that playstyle in bgs.
Fury seems to stay very poor.
Cheers

PW:S on a low health char. It's a welcome change imo, they won't eat through it and kill you in the process.

Ok. I chose a wrong example with crit numbers. My bad.
For me, its still a nerf: Lets get the example above but normal numbers, not crit. This would have been a 600dmg non-crit. With 25% less dmg it's a 450dmg non-crit. 450x5 => 2250 health. Not an unusual healthpool for a 24 rogue. And there is definately a difference to hit this guy @ 20% health with 600dmg or 450dmg.
But nvm, when 5.2 hits with scaling changes nobody know how that will work in real bg's.
And i dont have big problems with rage @ execute

5.2 "Divine Aegis now causes critical heals to apply an absorb shield on the target for 100% of the amount healed instead of healing for twice as much. In addition, it grants Power Word: Shield a chance equal to the Priest's critical chance for the shield to absorb twice as much damage."
Divine Aegis - Spell - World of Warcraft
This will considerably affect F2P's... I'm interested to see what you guys think about this....

I think I've seen one level 24 disc priest in the past few months. I doubt the rest of them are going to spec out of shadow because of this buff, although it would be a good thing if some of them did. Shadow at 24 is unquestionably the most overpowered spec in this bracket and that isn't going to change in 5.2. At least disc can't melt you in a couple globals.

Hmm, no one is talking about respecs. Every 24 spriest which exists today didn't roll as holy/disc and switch spec in MoP... They started from scratch because that's what fotm rerollers do. We will see a sudden surge in disc 24s when the farmer scum catch on.
I'm sure a disc won't melt you in a global either, but the shielded spriest certainly will.

90% of 24s that play healers do so to carry the flag, not to keep their team alive... Even most of the ones that do queue to heal are pretty much just pocket healers.
You won't see too many new 24 disc priests because they'll just be awful, as opposed to awful & deadly.
