  Well, Force of Will is more like it for priest talents, but I’m pretty sure it’s because they’re trying to nerf resto druids in arenas.

  I don’t know if this is necessary or not, but the way the “proc-off-crit-turned-normal” thing works is that a percentage of normal hits equal to your resil crit reduction will proc on-crit talents. According to Blizzard, the way they do resil, it’s impossible to tell whether an attack was supposed to be a crit but was instead forced to a normal hit.

  Basically, say you have enough resil to get 8% crit reduction. 8% of all normal hits against you will proc abilities that are “when you get crit”. This is why it’s possible for a normal hit to, for example, proc Blessed Resilience but not Martyrdom (two “on-crit” talents) for a priest.

  It looks like Blizzard is just removing this mechanic for the druid talent in an attempt to nerf resto druids’ superiority in small scale arena.

  In that case, they should do the same for Priests as they are dominant in 3v3 and 5v5.

  True, but last time I checked priests dont have a “OMG 18K ARMOR LOL” button.
