• Expansive MindCore for a Priest

  +5% maximum Mana, Rage or Energy

  5% more maximum Mana for a class that lives on its Mana bar, where Classic’s version added 5% Intellect. Mental Strength’s extra Intellect makes the same pool bigger, so the two add up.

  Works with Mental Strength

• Eureka!Core for a Priest

  Your next 3 spells or abilities cost less and deal or heal 10% more

  Your next three spells cost less and deal or heal 10% more. Save it for a run of expensive heals or a Shadow opener. Icy Veins’ hands-on notes give a 2-minute cooldown and a 50% cost cut; Blizzard hasn’t published either number.

• Escape ArtistSituational

  Removes all movement-impairing effects and grants a short immunity to them

  Breaks roots and slows and gives a short immunity to them (3 seconds in Icy Veins’ hands-on notes): a way out of a Frost Nova for a healer, or back to range for Shadow.

• Engineering SpecializationMinor

  Engineering devices are more reliable

  Engineering devices become more reliable. It only matters if you take Engineering; nothing Priest-specific.

  Confuses up to 5 enemies within 8 yd for 3 sec; damage breaks it

• Contingency Plan

  A 15 sec ward on an ally: when their Health drops below 35%, they get an absorb shield and a heal over 15 sec

  A Gnome Priest spell that catches a burst of damage. It absorbed 155 and healed 300 at the demo character's level.
