What's different from Classic

• Penance. New Discipline channel: Holy damage or healing, instantly and every 1 sec for 2 sec, 12 sec cooldown. Rank 1 from the talent at 30, ranks 2 to 4 at 40, 50 and 60.
• Binding Heal. New 1.5 sec cast: heals a friend and you at once, low threat. Trainers teach it at 25, ranks 2 to 6 from 32 to 56; Holy Binding took the talent's slot.
• Prayer of Mending. New: a heal that goes off when the target is hit or healed, then jumps to a party or raid member within 20 yd, up to 5 times. Instant, 10 sec cooldown. Rank 1 from the talent at 40, ranks at 50 and 60.
• Shadow Word: Death. New Shadow nuke, 18 sec cooldown, ranks at 32, 40, 48 and 56. If the target survives you take 30% of your max health, and nothing when the spell misses. Early Demise adds 15 or 30% crit on targets at or below 20% health.

Talent-by-talent: 14 new, 30 changed, 3 moved and 5 unchanged. Spellbook: 9 new spells and 33 with changed ranks or numbers. Full detail on the Priest changes page.
