Yep, a mystery buff -- doesn't that sound exciting? We have no idea what it is, because the CMs don't have the go-ahead to tell us yet, but Nethaera claims it's "a positive change." And though she's trying not to overplay it, there are a lot of hopes riding on it being something good. Nethaera hopes to have more information for us on Tuesday -- but until then, it's speculation run wild! Do any of you have predictions for the priest's mystery buff?Update: Nethaera is currently telling us that we may get news tomorrow, Wednesday the 28th. Sorry to get everyone's hopes up, but hopefully we'll have some official news soon.
Update 2: I believe we have the final word on improvements for priests this patch via Nethaera.

We already have Stam, Armor, Spirit. What possibly could they add as a buff? Screw the buff, just don't touch our VE/PoM.

A movement/speed buff would rock. That "Aspect of the Cheatah" has me spoiled rotten...

Now, see - I took that to mean that they were BUFFING some aspect of priests, presumably to make up for the nerfs on the PTRs right now.
Now I'm confused - Are they giving priest a bufffing spell or are they buffing the priests themselves?

@2.
Dysrc was the original person to post this, the post was removed.
This is a joke, they wont give us anything that will make up for 8 months of nerfs.
I got tired of posting on the forums, even haha funny threads were removed

Maybe they are going to increase the amount healed by normal healing spells? Everyone's HP has gone through the roof since BC came out and my puny heals can't keep up! It takes me 2 Greater Heals just to fully heal myself!

color me skeptical. Blizz CS has been deleting threads like crazy all afternoon, Including the ones that #7 is talking about. There were long posts (now probably deleted) about how the blues have little/zero credibility now in the priest forums due to the fact that level headed posts over the past two years got nothing. Untill I see some real changes IN THE GAME, I'm levelling my pally.

I'm at least 80% positive that it's a "summon dev" spell... it will summon a Dev avatar that you can /spit or /hug depending on your mood.

It's probably some very minor tweak. However all priests know we have utterly stupid and useless 31 and 41 pt talents that could use a full replacement for something that makes sense :)

The thing is that no quickly-implemented buff is likely to affect the psychology of the priest class players right now. For whatever reasons, deserved or not, most of the priests I know now, including myself, are dissatisfied. Even a moderately powerful buff will not make the majority of priests *feel* better about their class.

If I was going to guess, by what we actually need (lol...) I'd say either a way of regenerating mana (a la invocation) or a way of away (a la blink/sprint/etc). Though...as if it's going to be something useful.

Make Flash Heal at least worth a spot on our skillbar again?
Pre-TBC I used Greater Heal on the tank, Flash Heal on the casters that pulled aggro for a second.
Now Flash Heal only heals like 20% on mages.
Not to mention the warlocks with 10k HP.

I would like to see it either be Fear Ward or (dreaming) a "If you touch me, you will die and the entire party will be healed to 100%."
Hopefully it's the latter.

I really hope they do something good for the priest that will not get him totally unbalanced in PvP.
Completely off topic:
Where in the hell are the Ladder Sites? Didn't Blizz announce that there will be Ladders etc available after the Launch of the Arena Season?

Increased scaling with either PW:S or fade. Making them worth using, hopefully.
