The offical word on buffs and debuffs

Thank you to suicidal zebra for alerting me to the massive shake-up announced yesterday to raid buffs and debuffs (link here via mmo champion).

And guess what? I must be psychic, or else someone at Blizzard is paying attention, because the mana regeneration of vampiric touch will be uncoupled from damage done and return a percentage of base mana instead.

There are other big changes for shadow priests in that post, some of which even my razor-like mind failed to anticipate, and once again the dwarf priest has a great run-down of them.

I'll bring you my thoughts when I've had time to digest. Right now though, I'm thinking of rolling a boomkin.
