1) Grey priests, particularly cloths faiths, got royally screwed when the aura changes hit. Prot does about 1/2 as much as it did, SoF is weaker but still decent, and holy word effecting lighties and darkies at the same time is rather nice, where they lack is EQ. I was running a priest when the change happened, and losing 30% of my things because they now zapped me was not pleasant. A grey cloth priest has access to absolute crap unless you are the l337 h4><0r of equipment making them rather difficult to do anything unless you just want an RP machine. In that respect they are well suited as they will interact with any faith, any race, any aura.
lol not true at all. The SoF and Holyword do less dmg for grey priests has been like that for a looooooooong time, and the prot change was a good one. You don't have to guess and chose wich aura you will need it against in everyday things, you can just keep it up all the time and be protected from both Brilliant!
And as for your comment on lack of EQ lol, there is so much no aura energy/flame/water eq out there its hard not to trip over it. And if you are a noob and don't want to go that way you can just wear any old cloth you have encahnted out the [REDACTED] and use the spell Magical vestments to buff its armor value up.

2) BoG was upgraded recently, making it much more formidable than before. For a Delf priest though, if you have sanc, prot, and a shield up with decently enchanted armor you can still soak a LOT of the damage. Mix that with healing and you can take quite a few of them.
BoG will do two things vs any smart priest, Jack and [REDACTED]. Even a deep-elf priest can enchant their [REDACTED] out the [REDACTED] and go either full MR or go for the assload of MP and combine that with sanc and prot and that bog will tickle them.

3) As for priests, sometimes it's a chore to be a rezwhore. Sort of like working in food service or retail, it is something that everyone should do at least once in their life, just to know what priests go through. If you want an RP magnet who everyone will bend over an kiss your [REDACTED], then make a priest and demand respect. If you want to try to RP and have everyone laugh about how they use you, then make a priest and fall into the rezwhore slot.
Yes everyone should make a priest at least once to see how stupid people can be when trying to ask a priest for help. They also can learn why people should never assume that a priest has spirit sight up 24/7. And as for the Rezwhore part, there are people out there who enjoy going around and helping everyone out and interacting with them. But to me it would get boring after a time.
