Yea.. they already have something like this with ele shamans and draenei.. but I never expected to have those hit buffs available so I geared past them.. This was pretty much the norm that I think most people did this.. though I did have one piece of gear to trade out that dropped hit for crit..

So I think youre right it makes no sense for blizzard to homogenize everything and then give this buff that if expected its necessary, otherwise its useless.

this is dumb

What I don't understand is why Shadow Priest's are now considered (pretty much) a separate class that deserve's it's own review. That deserves a spot in a Raid just for them.

They're still priests with 3 talent trees to select Talent's in.

Affliction Warlocks are'nt considered separate from other warlocks. Their DoT's still don't scale with gear, despite Death Knight's getting a talent that allows their DoT's to crit. You don't see entire WoWInsider posts on Affliction alone.

I just don't get why Shadow Priest's are somehow considered separate from Priests and deserve their own WotLK review just for them.

@Nathan

Because Holy and Shadow Priests have completely different functions in a raid. Healing vs DPS/mana return.

Discussion and theorycraft for Holy spec priests usually have no relevance to a Shadow spec priest whatsoever.
