1.10 Priest Builds

I no longer care about Improved Prayer of Healing.  It's used too rarely, and when I do use it I tend to use it with Inner Focus.  With the new 3-minute cooldown, meh.

I didn't notice the new cooldown on Inner Focus! I pop inner focus with PoH half the time already, now it will be even more often. Hmmm, I think I may be dumping improved PoH now and picking back up inspiration despite its mehness for my gearing. Just need to find one more point...

This leaves me with this modification for my first build. I posted previously with my reasoning.

On another note, I've played a lot with subtlety and without. My experience is only up through ZG fwiw. The only difference I notice is that in a raid, with several healers healing, and new adds showing up, it's me that tends to draw aggro because most other healers have subtlety. Honestly I think if no one did we'd never see a difference. I normally get into trouble from healing threat when dealing with fresh adds, and I'd get it with subtlety or without. I consider the choice I made a long time ago to stay away from subtlety a very nice 5 point refund.

castille made a point earlier about threat levels when the tank dies. It's a good point, but I think the times that 20% margin will make a difference are few and far between, even only counting situations where the tank dies. Threat is built up by DPS characters generally only on the focus fire mob -- healer will generally be getting the others anyway. I figure the extra 150 points on the shield will be more useful to me. I'm more tempted by Martyrdom than Silent Resolve.
