WOTLK Priest PVP Set - First look and thoughs

I recently happened upon a Spooncraft article regarded the beta pvp armor sets. It was most interesting to view the way the equipment was and will change for the new expansion.  I’d like to note that none of this is final, only conjecture.  Here is the link to the images of the beta blue healing priest pvp set. What you’ll notice most is the addition of the Spirit stat!

This has many implications.  The addition of a traditionally high pve stat to the pvp set means you likely will be able to keep less extra equipment sets on your person.  This isn’t to say that new PVP gear will be a suitable substitute for regular PVE gear.  Only that as a primarily PVP player, you will be able to pick and choose which pieces you want to wear.  That is a huge distinction from previous tiers.

While its true, I don’t raid anything beyond the occasional TK/SSC run. What I do know is that I wear my PVP set all the time and I have a PVE heal set with plenty more MP5 and spirit in my bags. With the addition of spirit to my pvp set, I can at least perform moderately well in guild heroic runs without having to store an extra set of armor on my person. In addition I’d like to point to the extra talent palette each character is likely to have post expansion.  Which will make having a PVP talent spec in Disc and a PVE holy talent set possible without much hassle.

Doesn’t this excite you?
