Thus endeth the usefulness of that spell :-(

Circle of Healing is still a very powerful spell, albeit a smidge more situational now. It's not a catch-all anymore, nor is it the main answer to every encounter, but it was never meant to be. Much as I freaking adored it, it was a bit OP. We have a solid arsenal of spells to choose from, and I'm still happy with our multi-target healing... will just have to make a few rotation adjustments and think a bit more. Not a bad thing, and not that drastic considering how much has changed for some other classes. Overall, I am very happy with these changes!

And yes. Especially Levitate. XD

Indeed it will be a sad day for those who use the spell, Circle of Healing consistently, however in a changing environment we must all adapt to any changes made. This I feel will make many priests better healers than they were by essentially forcing them maximize the skills available to them by adjusting spell rotations, and be able to recognize different situations that call for different spells.

Overcoming challenges provide a greater feeling of success than being able to do something and it not be challenging.
