Because when a priest in full ilvl 200+ gear gets raid buffs, this happens: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a31/ayajulia/WoWScrnShot_011409_200748-Copy.jpg

Nevermind those who are still trying to gear up. :\

O_o WOW. I had no idea it could look that good. That does explain a lot! Thank you very much for the pic ^_^

np. I posted it up there too, didn't want to come off as spammy, but it does illustrate a point. It gets ridiculous. That was only in a 10-man too, so it's not like I had five sources of replenishment, innervate, and mana tide.... Dunno if you read the comment where I first posted it, but all I had was a flask, AI, MotW, BoK, BoW, Replenishment, and both my trinkets (Majestic Dragon Figurine/Spirit-World Glass) in full force. Not an unrealistic set of buffs at all. It's silly.

I love not having to worry about my mana, but with results like that, I get it. :\

I wonder how they're going to balance it for the poor clothies who aren't geared.

Kinda makes me wonder if they're trying to lock players who have the gear against those who don't... just like how they were trying to screw people who either have the rating in Arena to get gear or don't.
