A short guide to notable changes in 5.0.4
-Mana pools are fixed at 300k. The gnome racial and certain meta gems can increase this number.
-Intellect no longer affects regen, giving only spell power and critical strike chance.
-Spirit is mana regen for everyone (reminiscent of mp5).
-Rapture returns are based on your Spirit.
-Atonement and Archangel are now baseline for discipline priests.
-Evangelism is now baseline for all priests.
-Divine Fury is a passive, baseline ability for all priests. (Guaranteeing chance to hit with Smite, Holy Fire, Penance and PW:Solace)
-Archangel no longer returns mana, but the healing bonus has been increased.
-Penance now triggers an Atonement heal if used offensively, and gives a single stack of Evangelism.
-Divine Hymn is no longer available to Discipline and Shadow priests.
-Discipline priests have Spirit Shell instead. Knowledge of boss encounters will be vital in the effective use of Spirit Shell, but the ability can also be used on a smaller scale as an alternative to PW:Shield spamming for stacking shields on a party.
-Inner Focus is changed from removing the mana cost and increasing the crit chance of the next heal, to reducing the mana cost and guaranteeing a critical heal from the next eligible heal.
-Binding heal can no longer benefit from Inner Focus.
-Our dispel mechanics have changed:
-Purify (our friendly dispel and cure disease together) has an 8 sec. cooldown.
-Dispel Magic (the offensive dispel) has no cooldown.
-Mass Dispel has a 15 sec. cooldown.
-The Sinestra and Spine of Deathwing encounters have been adjusted to accommodate the new dispell mechanics.
-The Blood Corruption debuffs in the Spine of Deathwing now turn to the buffs after the first dispel.
-Dispelling Sinestra’s Wrack resets the cooldown of Purify, leaving the execution of the encounter unchanged.
Stat priorities for both discipline and holy will be very similar to what holy priests were doing at the beginning of Cataclysm.
-Stack spirit until you are comfortable with your mana regen.
-Haste to your chosen breakpoint.
-Holy priests and Disc tank healers will favor mastery.
-Disc priests will enjoy crit for the DA gains, holy does not gain as much from crit.
Мана, мана...
