Still dwarf for pvp. Stoneform and chastise ftw.

I'm not exactly sure about this, but Allakhazam says that Chastise is a Holy spell, which means if you're shadow it's nearly useless except when you need to heal yourself and shift out of shadowform. And with the new Elune's Grace it seems to me that -20% chance to get hit and -20% physical and ranged damage makes Night Elves superior to Dwarves now in PvP.

Thought the brand-spanking new version of Elune's Grace only gives you -20% to be hit by ranged and melee attacks and no reduction in damage?

Yes, you can only use Chastise in normal form, not in shadow form. But the OP didn't state what spec they would be going with.

I haven't had any personal experience with the new elune's grace though I admit. I just known stoneform has saved my hunter's *** many times in pvp. :)

can u link a page to se the new skill?

and noone said anything related to the change to sharshards.. is it worth it?

Well, Starshards is now an instant cast extra DoT, costs no mana so well yes it's better than it was, PvE certainly worthwhile, if you were a PVPing Night Elf priest before 2.3 then yes you have improved yourself but I'm still with Khalane on this one, dwarf priests ftw.

I've been having a play around with Elune's Grace since my first post (took me a while to find it I hardly ever hit that hotkey) and it's definitely just a chance to be hit reduction, which granted in turn means you're taking less damage but if you are hit the damage is 100%.

Edit: Missed important word (Starshards)

Chastise is very important for pvp IMO. I use it to counter fear, heals, nukes, or even to stop the FC in his tracks to let my team catch up. Priests don't have a lot of ways to slow down the FC in WSG (scream and chastise I think are about it). Also, it does do a little bit of damage as well. If you're a smiter, it can proc surge of light too, and benefits from holy specialization.

well i went with a Dwarf male... for the most important reason of all.. THE LOOKS!! i created a NE and a Dwarf, dressed them up and i decided that i can't stand the look of the elf.. the ONLY reason i would make a NE is for the drood..

i put some outland items on hims and imo Dwarfy is pwnage comapared with NE. so here i go.. off to outland with my brand new little Dwarf priest.

Thanks for the feedback. Hat's off to u guys!

Your Shadow Priest is already level 62? Smiley: dubious

Or does the SP in your signature mean something else?

Edit: Forgot to take in account the possibility that you might have a Horde Priest as well. Sorry.
