It is just a boring card to include as a class card - should have been neutral.
is lifesteal still classed as healing as far as soulpriest goes ?
I would assume so
It will be changed so Lifesteal only triggers once. You won't deal 30 to yourself with that combo
Decent. For new players at least. And decent arena pick too.
So many people trash this card. I think it's alright.
worst card sofar
If Priest gets a shadowform build in this expansion, cards like this are necessary. Guess Anduin and Tyrande haven't been shadowforming a lot lately that Hearthstone players forget they can't heal with their altered hero power.
Wonder if Raza and Kazakus are going to make a big comeback in Anduin DK decks.
I agree with your point but then it should have been a 2/3 for 2 mana or a 3/4 for 3 mana.
Now it's just a lackluster.
Besides that, we haven't seen a single shadowform card yet and if only the hero card will be of shadowform type, I wonder if that will be enough to create an entire deck for.
Super disappointed about this card
Should at least have 3 /4 stats as class card for priest, this feels like a neutral card.
Good against face decks but worthless in control match ups, priest need more card generating cards or discount cards.
Why would this be used over Earthen Ring Farseer ?
That card can heal minions and the hero, while Acolyte of Agony can only heal the hero.
I understand that Acolyte of Agony can heal multiple times but with an HP of only 3, that will happen close to never.
This card can also not compete with Kabal Talonpriest. As that card has immediate effects.
Acolyte of Agony should have been a 2/3 card for 2 mana or a 3/4 card for 3 mana.
Now it's just meh.
Quote from Mot1ons >>
Priest Minions lose on stats because of cards like Power Word:Shield and Kabal Talonpriest makes the stick to the board easily. Earthen Ring as you said is only one time but this if it hit 2 times vs an agro deck it will be way good. Its at least playable. Also dont forget Kabal Talonpriest is just a Vanilla 3/4 if you have no board.
That makes no sense to me. Good luck sticking it to the board on turn 3, without having the coin for example. Acolyte of Agony will be killed on spot before you even have the chance to play Power Word: Shield or Kabal Talonpriest.
I personally think it's good. Aggro decks early game uses very cheap minions with 2 attack and 2-3 attack weapons. this will take 1-2 hits to remove from the board. which means 3-6 heal just like that.
Would be such a cool neutral card instead... Now I fear there will be no good neutral lifesteal, since this is really the kind of card I would imagine.
Decent arena pick, but I don't see it in constructed tho.
I'm going to laugh my ass off if Priest DK is "Whenever you are healed, deal that much damage to the opponent" and this thing becomes amazing.
Matt Place said on the Day9 stream it was shadow for related right? not sure what it does though. would be too strong to just use that and then reno yourself in wild lol.
