Blizzard Poster Nethaera opened a thread in the World of Warcraft Forums entitled Test Realm and Feedback. The thread was created with the intention of providing Forum members a means of voicing their concerns and feelings toward the recent priest nerf in a constructive way.

He says that yes, he is aware that at the moment it looks like all priests have received so far are nerfs, and he reassures that Circle of healing is being looked at for better utility. He adds that Lightwell MAY be looked at, however he can't promise anything on that front. Anyway, the point of the thread is so that he will be able to gather the feedback and relay it to the rest of the Blizzard team.

He reassures that he'll do his best to continue to give feedback to the developers and make sure that they are made aware of how the community feels. He says that he understands that the community may be generally angry at the moment, but he will continue doing his duties and carry the community message to the development team.
