The other new and interesting side effect of this change

I discovered today. I went to check out the current micro

holiday, Call of the Scarab, and as requested by the

general I went for a run in AQ to relive the glory days. Once

through the doors I was joined by scarabs, lots of scarabs.

I went to AoE them down, except I couldn’t. Nothing

survives long enough to get even a single tick of Shadow

Word: Pain on, and as such I could not AoE anything at all.

Not only did this mean that killing things took far longer,

but certain bunches of scarabs could not be killed at all.

These are the scarabs that have to go down via AoE. If you

single target them they simply multiply. So as a result they

didn’t go down, at all. I ran two thirds of the dungeon with

my own personal scarab army biting at my heels until

one of the twins took them down for me with his AoE. You

heard that right, a boss had to kill the scarabs for me.

So Blizzard I have to ask, why did you do this to my lovely

Priest? I simply can’t understand this change. Mind Sear,

whilst not great, was at least a spell I could choose to cast.

If I needed to AoE I simply replaced Mind Flay with Mind

Sear in my rotation. It worked. It wasn’t broken so why on

earth have you tried to fix it? Please Blizzard on behalf of

my Shadow Priest, bring back my AoE. If you don’t I will

have to spend eternity never setting foot in Molten Core

due to a newly acquired intense fear of Core Hounds...
