It’s time Blizz. Priests just look cooler while levitating. There should be a talent that gives them 5% reduced damage from AoE and makes levitate not break on damage.
Also give it 20% movement speed for the priest, stacking with feathers and body and soul.
Feather mostly needs to suck less.
But a choice node with Levitate giving speed that only breaks on direct targeted damage would also be interesting.
Levitate should function more like glide. It doesn’t last forever, but while it does it’s not affected by combat and you get a movement speed buff while levitating.
Leap of faith should also work more live hover and allow moving a target to a specific anchor point rather than to the priest.
Giving all priests glide would actually make sense I think. If you can cast levitate you should be able to glide, glide just has a better control scheme and the advantage of letting you counter knockbacks.
My main priest has been an undead since 2004 and has 200+ days of played time. Last expansion and currently I’m actually considering race changing it just to have glide, but I really shouldn’t need to. All priests should just have glide.
Talent node choice:
Angelic Feather - Unchanged, but gives more speed to the priest itself if used on them
or
Improved Levitate - Permanent self-cast Levitate that does not break on damage and + 15% speed bonus
and then:
Glyph of Levitate to remove the sparkles.
I would absolutely totally not abuse that of the ability worked like that.
Definitely need at least a glyph to get rid of sparkles. Been asking forever. Also either a glyph of void shield or just make it baseline for spiests, instead of the light version PW:S.
I’m saying lean in and give Priests the power of flight, no mount needed, just thoughts and prayers.
Give all DKs warhorses they mount while in combat, giving them 100% movement speed.
Bring back old shadow form.
Sorry…As per Blizz you must be a barefoot hippie chick, or an old white guy in a wheelchair to float……
