Hello
The unpruning was an absolute mess. Abilities were randomly added back without consideration for what the community was really asking for.
We have had some good, poor and absolutely awful abilities added back.
One of the worst spells to be returned was Power Infusion that can be cast on others. This is not because it is a bad spell, its because it does not suit the WoW of today, mostly due to the community playing it.
Now this sounds like a community problem (it is) but it was definitely a foreseeable issue by many. As soon as I saw this being added back my first message in /g was “taking preorders for PI” and ofc it drove people mad because everyone thought they should get it.
I honestly wouldn’t care if it was removed. I hate being linked to anything causing drama (even if it shouldn’t cause it) but I like playing my priest.
I really can’t imagine what was going on with the thought process behind re-adding this spell in this form. It really shows how out of touch with its player base Blizzard is.
Actually wish something will be done about the spell because I dont think parses showing a person got PI is enough to sate those who are left wanting.

Parses are not blizzards problem. Highest dps gets PI. Making them higher. Win win for progression. Care not about 3rd party websites.

My issue isn’t with the 3rd party website, what can they really do. They have reached a good middle ground really,going any further would be over stretching.
My issue was the decision to unprune PI.
What’s the problem with being able to boost dps haste 25%?
Sky fury totem boosts crit bonus 20% in PvP? Should it go.
Nothing in a different wow era, not today’s though sadly. Being on more equal or closer footing is definitely better when you want all specs to be competitive.
Like the post says its an issue with the community, but was a foreseeable one. Its not like the game needed PI back.
Haha you do get it from both sides! Those who have the pie and those that do not, though mostly from the latter ^^
What is the problem with this spell?
Johny is better than michael so i give him my PI
michael cry so that means PI is bad spell cause johny did 1-2k dps more on boss fight
am i RIGHT?
Power infusion is fine and should stay as it is. Let players do whatever they want with it. It’s time we stopped demanding Blizz to control us. Their job is to create an open ended game where we do whatever we want.

Pi isn’t about who has more dps though, its about the biggest increase of x amount of damage during the PI window.
The point is that PI can easily lead to someone enjoying the game less (personal problem). And even as a personal problem that doesn’t make it less relevant as feedback as people play games to enjoy themselves.
Just give it to yourself and go “Oooooopps”

Is this the same guy who made the same thread about 2 months ago? God damn people, get a hobby that isn’t whining about nothing important.
“Blizzard, I want this spell removed because I can’t cope”

PI is for the GOD GAMERS if you are not one of them just do regular dps and wait for better players to kill boss for you so you can have chance for loot 
Why Blizzard should care and remove cool and versatile ability just because someone boosting his or her metrics on third party site?
Ain’t it great? Anyone and everyone has access to a slightly worse version of Frost Mage’s main cooldown - you just gotta bribe a priest.

It’s bad because other classes didn’t get their buffs back. Even worse, ret paladin got his blessings PRUNED away !!
Once I replied to a whisper “Can you give me PI please” with “3.14”

How could you enjoy the game less lol. Because you didn’t get PI? That is madness.
