Holy cow, Blizzard just made love to Shadow Priests...
What I don't understand is why they gave a class that has NO MANA ISSUES AT ALL a glyph that now... restores mana?

Yes, yes it is. Though it is incredibly amazing.

Nah. I've been waiting for something like that since playing my warlock. About damn time =D
DPS buffs are much appreciated. Greatly needed, the bad scaling was going too far.

Haste might beat crit now eh? :):)
that's certainly possible, though we have yet to see just how well the haste will scale our DoT speeds. It WOULD be absolutely phenomenal if you had a 20% crit with a 20% haste though. Since each compliments the other now, we'll be seeing exponential increases in our damage when we increase both since we'll be adding both significantly additional DoT ticks overall as well as significantly more opportunities to crit.
I have a feeling that it'll be SO overwhelmingly good at the beginning that they'll nerf us quickly. just a feeling...
Now if only they hadn't put a cap on our overall AoE Damage... I guess you can't win 'em all!

Holy crap! Haste + Vampiric Embrace? I'd have soiled my pants over
just
those.
Edit: Wait a minute...VE as a 30 minute buff + Mind Sear. Are they going to let us keep that?

I came.
Shadow's long-awaited DPS buff is finally here! Me and the two other Spriests in my guild will no longer be sitting next to the tanks on the DPS list =P
EDIT: Tested my DPS on the PTR...increased by 500+ increase on the heroic dummy, with outdated gear and only self buffs + flask! :D

what is this i don't even
(For a moment I thought this was for Vampiric Touch and I almost died right here in my chair)
And while I'm excited about the haste changes for sure, the mana-@#$% inside of me is just going "Noooo...moer castin iz bad 4 preest!". But if that +500 DPS boost is for super serious, then bring it the hell on.

VE is a nice PVP boost. i guess it could count towards a shadow priests version of other classes healing received skills. Except you do it yourself?
It's going to be interesting to see what kind of haste caps would fit into a rotation.

While yes the self buff VE is great....Would rather the next patch (let alone cata) allow us to give said buff to the TANK!
