I started playin P/S after the so called nerf. To me there is no nerf as I haven't ever played without a CD. What I can say is P/S is pretty good at killing in mage gear if you actually use a rotation rather than rely on Ice Blade. I mean don't get me wrong , I married a mage in game cuz he was cute

and for his killing awesomeness as it's way better than mine will ever be but at the same time if I have to do it on my own I can with out too many issues. I wear newer mage gear and don't use the top notch stats so it's a cheap build for when i need it. works great in Mirror World where us poor priests are stuck doing it on our own whether we like it or not lol.
