WotLK offers disc priest some great new talents to look forward to. I won’t go over the entire tree. What I will do is break down a couple builds I think disc priests will find useful come the expansion. Discipline priests are one of the more survivable cloth classes out there next to warlocks.
53/18/0 – Remember S4?
Reflective Shield boost spec. I really like this spec. As a discipline our main trumps are rogues, warrior, and ranged caster specs. Reflective shield is a potent weapon against each of these classes. While it is difficult for us to prevent damage before it is done. We can make a low life attacker think twice about dropping that 5 pointer, or shatter crit with our shield on, shiny and for all to see.
We keep spell warding from the holy tree against our caster trumps and to mitigate dot damage. We gain an increased bonus to PW:S thanks to the new talent Borrowed Time. This reduces the cooldown on PW:S and increases its absorption by 20% of your “healing”. I am assuming the wording means spell power and that hopefully its an increased bonus Continue Reading

Huzzah!
As my rogue friend and I were waiting for our mage to log in commence with the evening of 3v3 prep, we decided to warm up with 2v2. Holy COWTHULU and a bucket of bolts we owned! We ended the evening 11-2 with a rating of 1611! Items galore! Ugly purple chest here I come… maybe!
We made one major change in our tactic and it proved fruitful. We flocked.
Flocking: The ability for an arena team to stay close enough together that help/support/burn down can occur within 2 seconds. Basically for all you disc priests out there, remain mindful of LoS to control ranged DPS, and stay close to your team mates.

I haven’t blogged about the games industry in awhile, and I’m glad that I’ve finally stumbled upon some inspiration!
Relmstein posted a great overview of the ESA and E3 on his site. I would suggest going over to read it. I love the global conscience of the blog-o-sphere.
I want to add one point to his post. With the successes of PAX, Blizzard’s WWI and self hosted trade shows(There aren’t any more that are on my radar…) the need to have one large expo is being replaced by dedicated followers to one community(PAX) or one developer(Blizzard’s WWI). Gaming press and blogs are much more prevalent, covering the same content and building hype as before. I should also mention that many new pc games(thanks EA for investing in some new IPs!) have developer blogs. Time will tell whether this directly contributes to sales. I certainly hope so!
He does mention something that troubles me. The second paragraph from the end mentions developers that don’t enjoy talking with the player and their audience. Poo poo on them! As a develop myself, I would love the opportunity to chat with players of my products! I’m Continue Reading

This is another great game! Just as a matter of perspective, this game has been played 335610 times. That’s almost half a million. Half of the projected Age of Conan release sales. It has also received 18304 ratings. Almost 20k people that cared enough to rate it. That’s an impressive number.
If you haven’t already, Kongregate is a great flash games portal with free to play games and an excellent card collection macro game. The more often you play (they ask once a week) the more cards you gather!
My screen name is Rerollmuch, come on over and check it out!

all that hard work during the last two weeks of season 3 really paid off. My 3v3 team ended with challenger titles. We were ecstatic!
On another note: Holy crap! Lock, Druid, SPriest is one tough cookie to crack.
