I was reading the scribe, and he mentioned that he would have to dip into healing prayers more than he would like this weekend. Im thinking that there is going to be a prot prayer nerf. I dont know which skills, but I can speculate. Im thinking SoA, and ZB are going to be hit a bit.

I just thought this was an interesting clue written into the scribe.

put in context:

I shall be amongst you, watching, fighting (and likely resorting to my Healing Prayers more than I want) before retiring to aid the Priests of Balthazar in gathering your comments. I look forward to meeting you on the battlegrounds

I don't think that really implies that anything is going to get "nerfed" specifically, it's just a round-about way of saying lots of people are going to be getting injured

Having said that, it wouldn't surprise me if both SoA and ZB get changed in some way, as they are both very powerful skills, SoA especially.

if you look at it in context, dont you agree it would sound weird 'and likely resorting to my protting more then I want to' ? since protters pre-prot anyways and healers heal the dmg taken..

Although the comment itself is almost guaranteed to just be inane drivel as always from the scribe, I would say it's almost a certainty that SoA is going to be hit in the skill balance. ZB maybe, but SoA for sure.

Remember The Scribe is a RP (Role-Play) character. He could just be referring to the fact he would have to work a lot more healing people as the amount of people in Heroes' Ascent in this weekend promisses to reach peak-records never seen. But it also leaves the place for the speculation of Protection Prayers skills used for healing (such as ZB, a very overused skill that is begging for an "adjustment") will be less effective and perhaps we might see some Healing Prayers skills adjusted positively (will we finnaly see dead elites being used?).

Anyway, the ambiguity is there. I'd say that it was mentioned simply for the RP purpose and not as a hint, but I might be too naive...

The Scribe only means he will be healing ppl who get pwned by whatever new gimmicks arise. It doesn'tlook like it points to a specific hint, although anyone with half a brain can guess most of the skills that are getting nerfed (the overplayed ones).

I have cooler speculation:

GAILE GRAY IS THE SCRIBE ZOMFG SPOILER!!!
