thats exactly it. you'll end up having one with full mana and the rest with not. more over mana has never been a problem for me while leveling, so i've never even wished i had it. tap is an amazing solo talent that is worthless for boxers.

and i agree, arena is right out for shadow priests. but i'm so against the idea of arenas that i dont really care, i'll just get slaughtered for a few weeks to ezmode some nice gear while i play the game i paid for. And of course, you cannot 5man with just priests. i simply rolled 3 because its what i could do, and because i have a couple of mates i can count on at all times so i didn't need a full group. i made 3 priests because i intend one to be disc/holy and the other two to be my shadowy mana batteries. thats my entire plan.
