Im tired of all balance isues revolving around pvp like PVE is unimportant. I know why though cause they bitch the most cause their very lives depend on balance on pvp servers Im peeved i dont pvp can i get a free racial change to human.

The small voice in my head is nagging me to wait until we see a reasonable mana cost on the spell before getting giddy. @dedmonwakeen – I agree, and await the change with cautious optimism.

My dwarf doesn't pvp that much, but raids a hell of a lot as shadow. If I could choose, I'd rather take starshards for the DPS boost over what I have now. However, on characters I pvp more on, I'd agree: the dwarven racials would be nice. @Bufinidas - Yes, I did. Me Inglish not gud sumtimes. :) @tempe85 – Arenas are just one aspect of the game.

However as a level 70 Night Elf I'm ecstatic. When I first rolled a night elf priest I did so with little research into the racials that I would be getting in return. As I progressed into the game I realized how bad night elf racials really were. I almost never find the need to use elune's grace and while I do use starshards often it does little damage (easily replaceable... and will only increase downtime very slightly). Our pvp capabilites compared to a dwarf priest was ridiculously bad. Desperate prayer and stoneform are EXTREMELY useful in arena. Elune's grace, starshards, and shadowmeld aren't very useful at all (at least in comparison). Being able to cast a 2K+ instant self heal in arena would be unbelievably useful. This is why you see dwarf priests (and undead with their overpowered will of foresaken) ranking much higher in the 2v2 arena rankings than you see night elfs or others (although to be fair you don't see many priests ranking high in 2v2 at all). The point is this allows myself and other night elves to actually compete in arena much better with our dwarve counter parts (honestly who wants to partner up with a night elf priest when you could have a dwarf priest instead? Not many). Why should I re-roll dwarf just to get those advantages? Heck dwarves still one up night elves with stoneform which is ridiculously useful when faced against a rogue (whereas shadowmeld doesn't do jack in arena/duel).

I'm going to mourn the loss of Desperate Prayer. I can't begin to count the number of times that its saved my ass. Ah well, I'll take DP and HoH...
