Reader comments – ahh, yes, the juicy goodness following a meaty post. [1.Local] ducks past the swinging doors to see what readers have been chatting about in the back room over the past week.

When Entertainment Weekly chatted with Ryan Reynolds about his "Must List", the X-Men: Wolverine actor had nothing but scorn at the possibility of his having a favorite video game. "I don't really play videogames," he told EW. "Is there a way to waste more f-ing time?"

"He's probably just grumpy because the cover made him look dumber than a box of nails," commented WoW.com reader Gessilea. "Come on, that expression totally screams 'Which end do I put this in again?'"

We suspect Reynolds may have just finished reading the comments at WoW.com – whewww, what a fractious lot this week! Join us in picking a few nuggets out of the rubble and wrap up with a couple of latecomers to last week's epic rap battle comments war.

Did Priests need the Patch 3.2 nerfs? Thank you, sir – may I have another? When it comes to Priest nerfs, reader Zusterke doesn't seem so sure: "I'm not in the best position to comment the PoH nerf. In the content I'm raiding (Ulduar 10 and 25 without hard modes), I doubt it will make all that much of a difference. I see many Holy Priests doing 25-man hard modes agree that it was OP. Perhaps the nerf wasn't so bad, eh? "What I do know, quite well IMO, is the regen model. I'm not too happy about the MP5 change. On one hand, it makes MP5 interesting again, which is good. But on the other hand, I think it is ... well ... unsettling. If you check some calculations like this one, then you can see that despite the investment of 12 talents (Spiritual Guidance, Meditation, SoR, HC), it still takes a Priest up to 1,000 unbuffed Intellect just to make Spirit equal MP5, even if you take into account the SP bonus. "That is: You invest 12 talent points to up Spirit (plus a few fillers) You add the synergy of two base stats Add the raid-buffed SP value of Spirit Add the raid-buffed regen value of Spirit Add the regen value of Crit "MP5 still beats all of that, flat out. Literally, if you drop every point of Spirit you have, drop HC/Meditation/SoR/Spiritual Guidance and instead take MP5 gear, SP gems and throughput talents ... then you will have better regen and throughput than our classic Spirit/Intellect model until you get Ulduar gear. Not that Ulduar gear beats the MP5+SP model; it scores comparably. But there is no MP5 cloth armor without Spirit. "We are thus presented with: a slightly overpowered regen stat no way to base our gear on it "Looks like we are forced into seemingly inferior gear. Well, ok -- it's not that dramatic. :-) But it will take considerable gear and talents in the first place just to get even. "Still, although the boost to MP5 imbalances the relative value of stats for Holy Priests at first, there is hope. On the long term, as we keep gearing up, MP5 and Spirit make a more interesting balance where regen can be worked as such: Int > MP5 > Spi if you have decent amount of Spirit MP5 > Int > Spi if you have a low amount of Spirit "Spi will scale sufficiently to make its SP contribution beat MP5, although MP5 remains a stronger regen stat. That's cool, IMO.
