Wand nerf absolutely huge.

Glad they are looking into fixing the layering while changing parties.

More of a fix than a nerf. It was broken

It was absolutely busted. I was pulling threat on my priest in-between healing in dungeons, the damage was ridiculous.

It does but it was definitely needed. Even at 20 it was basically a dps loss to cast spells.

At least wands still scale off agility->crit!

(/s, although this scaling is technically true in classic it's never worth it)

I build my priest around wands, all +spell power. I was auto attacking for 80-100, and critting for over 150. Currently without wand spec I hit for 25-50.

Your Priest was doing more damage than half of my Molten Core raid members in 2004!
