In case you havent noticed, the friday update screwed up the Priests of Sorrow. I recommend doing all the quests now while the Priests do next to nothing. All they use is Mark of Protection and Resurrect. It seems there was one other skill, but they no longer use healing. I know this is true because i distinctly remember fighting 2 monks at once down there for 15 minutes earlier. Now, I say "oh noes! 3 monks!" and they're dead inside a minute. Do Orozar and all the other quests now while you still can! :-)

Just posting to confirm this...was doing Alkar the other day and ended up having to defend the priest solo (I'm a monk)...the group had a Priest, and he went down without so much as casting a single spell.

I was talking to one of the priests earlier and he told me he's sick of being killed time after time, so he may as well just give up.

I didn't know that they stopped healing actually...at least the shamens use SoD still.

Did the high-priest quest and most of Kilroys quest not an hour ago, and the priests were spamming orizon on themselves (with backfire on they go down like a sack of bricks).
Come to think of it, I didn't see them heal _anyone else_ though.

And here I was thinking the quests were so easy because I am so uberskilled!

They don't even heal themselves sometimes. I think I heard one of them say that their cult was moving on to the next life or something like that. They *do* still use their Resurrection powers, but that's about it.

LOL, shouldn't we tell those priests that prot bond got nerfed...

Can see it now, hordes of Priests of Sorrow, farming them Ectos

I made the killroy Stoneskin with henchies on the first attempt already (I played with my Monk/Elem).

Tried Orozar with a team and we fail due to the fact that the players always split and our warriors played "Gods" again with the result the whole team to get killed.

On my second attempt with a few from this team and a few new players (the leader replaced the bad ones) we almost made it while I got disconnected by getting the Error=7 bug.

I was so pissed I didn't bothered to restart GW again and played City of Heroes instead for a mission or two.

I might retry it tonight.

I've been mesmering in SF for a bit so I've been watching those monks. I'm pretty sure thier AI is bugged. Sometimes they'll be doing thier job proper and sometimes they'll just sit there waiting for a teammate to fall for ages, then try to ressurect them. It's been like this since the area was opened, the patch didn't have anything to do with it.

It's been frustrating sticking a migraine on a priest and watching him pick his nose for 15 seconds.

I've been farm...er...doing the Orozar mission for... well... never mind how long. :-) Anyway, I have yet to see a NON-BOSS priest cast anything besides resurrect and MoP. However, I did note that sometimes some guy was using Signet of Devotion, leading me to think somehow the amount-of-energy-to-save-for-res AI was messed up. Maybe somebody added an extra 0 so res takes 100 now. Or at least the monks THINK it does.
