We heard a little while back from Ghostcrawler that haste would soon affect Heal-over-Time (HoT) and Damage-over-Time (DoT) spells,ffxiv gold (http://www.cheapestffxivgil.com), and sure enough, soon after that, Shadow Priests -- who use DoTs all the time -- saw a nice buff. But of course this is the PTR, and everything is subject to change, and so last weekend, Blizzard removed Shadow Word: Pain from that equation -- right now, it's not affected by haste at all. GC says that sure enough, Blizzard thought shadow priest DPS was too high with all of their DoTs given a boost,cheap ffxiv gil (http://www.cheapestffxivgil.com), so SW:P got the boot (for now -- remember, this is all still on PTR).
Misery, my go-to shadow priest, has some good insight on the change, and says that sure, if shadow priest DPS was too high, it was too high. But it's too wow gold bad that Shadow Word: Pain had to take the nerf, especially since you get it so early on in the class and it's such an iconic spell for the spec. The reason these guys are so happy about the hasted DoTs is that DoTs as cast don't really scale with your gear -- they just sort of do their damage on their own. When haste got put into the equation, shadow priests became happy that they could go after more haste to increase the DoT part of the damage. They could tailor the spec and spells the way they wanted to use them.

Patch 3.3 is the last major patch of Wrath of world of warcraft gold the Lich King. With the new Icecrown Citadel 5-man dungeons and 10/25-man raid arriving soon,cheapest ffxiv gil (http://www.cheapestffxivgil.com), patch 3.3 will deal the final blow to Arthas. WoW.com's Guide to Patch 3.3 will keep you updated with all the latest patch news.

And leaving SW:P out of that is a bummer, if not a classbreaker. Misery sounds resigned -- just because SW:P won't bonus from haste doesn't mean it won't still get cast. But we'll have to see if Blizzard can come up with a solution that crosses all DoT spells, both including all of the spec's core mechanics, and still keeping overall damage reasonable.
