New patch = More Friar Lovin'

[Sodom]

Not only do we (and Paladins) get a ranged pull (taunt), but they're fixing the cost/effect ratio of healing spells across the board! I might actually be able to play primary healer again!

Unfortunately, they're also nerfing cleric smite (which I agree with in theory), which means we'll start seeing more evenly-specced clerics... Which means the healing-effectiveness gap between the average cleric and the average friar grows wider. I used to be able to say "well, I'm almost as good at healing as a smite-spec Cleric!"

you can heal me any time sodom, i wont argue

I could care less about the taunt aspect, but like a minstrel DD, or a bard's memblur, it will interrupt casters when you taunt them. Could be a useful tool once every 30s.
