Aye, I was thinking of making the same comment. I didn't, as I don't want to be "that guy who says, 'proofread much? lolz'".

But I think I think this article needs another pass.

Agreed with both. It looks like the +hit gem got changed to +int, but it could still use another pass from fresh eyes, methinks...

I wasn't going to say anything, but I will now -- as the editor of an online magazine, I know how the effort to meet deadlines occasionally permits lapses in quality. But even after a skim, I could find several awkward sentences (e.g., "having" something is typically not "your best friend," an object is).

Please, author or editor: proofread this one post-publication, note the correction and let us enjoy the content.

There's also a mistake when referring to the Insightful Earthsiege Diamond. You need 1 of each gem to activate the meta, not 2 blues.

I bet Mr. Low didn't have a good morning :(.

"This is the type of build where the Priest is extremely hungry or mana."

I can't decide which! Is it possible to be EXTREMELY mana?

"Gems largely consist of spell Purified Dreadstone or Veiled Ametrine for players that need hit to go along those Trolll along with."

Not only are these bad recommendations for gems, but I'm pretty sure that it's not a complete sentence, either.

Seriously.. can we have a new priest blogger now?

This is 3 strikes in 2 weeks. Its getting a bit silly.

Strike 1. Matt writes an article attempting to convince would-be priests to pick a different class. Through all of the buffs, nerfs and flavors of the month, every other class blogger has stayed true to their class. Campaigning for buffs and adjustments to the class that they love playing so much. What do priests get? "Eh fuck it, roll a hunter".

Strike 2. The state of shadow priests. Jesus christ. Shadow priests are (arguably) the most popular dps hybrid spec in the game. What do us shadow priests get as an article? "Gee I dunno. What do you guys think?"

Strike 3. This mess. I don't even know what to make of this article. All of the comments above me are correct, so I won't restate what's wrong with this.

Anything would be better at this point. The guy from the dwarf priest blog. Misery blog. One of the contributors at shadowpriest.com. Throw us a bone already.

"While Priests do rely on Spirit, there are other better and reliable sources for emergency information. I have to get what I know out of the PTR."

Huh. Mashup of healing styles with a post he was writing for one of his other blogs?
