Power Word: Barrier

Template:Cataclysm

Power Word: Barrier was originally a planned priest talent for the Discipline tree for patch 3.1.0, but was scrapped because other revamps in the patch ended up more extensive than was planned.

It has been described as similar to [Power Word: Shield] but for the whole group.

Before the Cataclysm priest review in April 2010 it was unknown if it was to be released or not.

We'd still like to do Barrier, but some of the revamps ended up more extensive than we planned. At this point we'd rather make what we have taste good instead of throwing new ingredients into the stew, but it's an idea we still like.

Believe it or not, hymns are still being worked on. Now that the squid works a little better, [Hymn of Hope] has even less of a role.
