As to why, I'd imagine it's just general trimming. Renew in this case is simply not very interesting for a Discipline priest (outside very special cases), so they decided to cut it. While I have to admit that it sucks losing a lot of heals that you're used to, I wouldn't be very surprised if most would also say that they don't use their entire toolbox as either healing spec. :P

Afaik we also lose Heal which is replaced by spell shield, and Powerword: shield is converted to the Disc flash heal. Prayer of healing will be replaced by Holy nova.

Im realy interested to see how they will handle the conversion to holy nova, because if they are just going to increase the numbers its going to be dissapointing and only usefull for stacking fights like ultraxion.

Because its currently so hard to google "Priest shadow spec 4.3.2 talent build" amirite?

the new talent system will atleast grant a meaningfull choice, each tier you are faced with 3 options with similar effects in general (survivability /movementspeed / damage healing increase) but all with a twist of somekind.

would you rather take powerinfusion and be able to periodically deal more dmg for a short period of time, or twist of fate for those execution phases? or perhaps you prefer to be able to get some increased burst with MS / MB via divine insight?

Picking talents will actualy feel like you are doing something important because all of these effects have their pro's and cons and there is no clear winneramong the three and it al comes down to playstyle.

Because even if I'm wearing my Halloween hat only on Halloween, I still don't want to give it away. However, if Halloween hats would suddenly make you shoot lasers from your !@#, I'd agree perhaps not everybody should have them.

In this light of things, I assume they will change renew to mean more than it does nowadays, instead of being a Halloween hat. I still hope that if I have to give up my Halloween hat, they'd better give me at least The One Wand as a compensation.

"shakes fist".

Wheres your source saying its removed? It sounds more likely to me that they just havent got round to putting it in yet. There are more than a few spells missing from the talent buillder but as they have said before that doesnt mean they wont be there when they get around to sorting it out.
I am about 99% certain we wont lose renew.

Holy loses HoH?! wtf is that! It's much harder to maintain mana in holy than in disc.

Disc also loses Prayer of Healing, apparently we're expected to heal with a newly redesigned Holy Nova, absolutely no idea what it's going to be like. The last Blizzard suggestion for Holy Nova involved healing people based on how much damage it did which does not fill me with confidence.

On topic, the loss of Renew with no replacement that can be cast on the move will be a bit of a downer for a spec that's already relatively limited when on the move, while Holy will still have access to Power Word: Shield. Hopefully Blizzard will notice this and implement something at least moderately worthwhile for when a Disc priest is moving.

Heck, I'm going to miss Renew, and my main spec is Shadow. It's the only heal I can pop on myself without a cast time, and being able to reactivate Shadowform after casting it means I can keep my defense up even when it's healing me.
