I tried it this morning and it was still working for me. Insta-cast on wild boars(non-humanoid).

If this does change... I may start working on a new character. Maybe warlock, we have so few in the guild and they get a free mount. I'm tired of the priest nerfs and we don't seem to be as needed as I thought. Druids and Pallys can heal some and do damage.

Go mage...we don't have of those either and they are friggin awesome.

Well druids can sooth the beast, but not humanoids. Seems appropriate that priest can sooth humanoid but not beast.

However for druids it is instant and you don't have to be stationary.

wow you guys actualy read your Class forums?? I'm impressed All I see on mine is a bunch of Shamans telling the Paladins hey are over powerd... if you change your character go druid you can still heal , take a few more hits and be more usefull in pvp. I'll miss Pword Shield though :(

Yeah, looks like they increased the cast time and movement requirements for druid as well. I very rarely used this though, so I am not too upset. I mainly use it for herbalizing when I don't want to fight the beastie near by.

I was just on and they were bringing down the server to make the Mind Soothe change.
If the target resist the Mind Soothe it will attack.

Warlock is looking better and better....:(

I read another post by a Dev that said the Dev's are looking into letting priest cast pw:shield on raid groups :) if that happens you need to stay priest Cannon!

Weird how a priest class gets nerfed.
