[quote=Wayne3100]Had a really shitty deck in Arena (went for early game cards early then didn't get any late game minions to choose so mana curve was a little weird :P), a 2-2 score, was winning a game, then I disconnected from Hearthstone/battlenet, came back and it registered as an 0-3. Wat ._.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Last Plagas] Because [[[the priest hero power]]] doesn't do anything for your early game besides mining cards with northshire cleric. For his hero power to be effective you need to have at least a 4-5 hp minion and trade with your opponent and these minions only come around 4-5 mana (Yeti, Shieldmasta, Lightspawn), the only exception being Injured blademaster. Healing big creatures is always nice, but you have to get to them and your hero power will not help you with that.[/quote] Yeah, no. You have no freaking clue. It's arguably the best ability in the game. Auchenai Soulpriest also helps.[/quote]

[quote=Werepirelord]Let's not go overboard, it's good, but it isn't the best one, atleast not without card synergy. You need stuff to make it work, unlike the Warlock ability or possibly the Paladin/Mage one.[/quote]

I'm not arguing that it is. What I will argue on the other hand is that it's [b]one of the best[/b] in the game.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=oxide110] No it isn't arguably the best ability in the game.[/quote] Please make a proper post if you're gonna make one. I could just as well have responded with "Yes it is." and I would have been equally as right as you were.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]^ What's the difference between "You have no freaking clue. It's arguably the best ability in the game." & "No it isn't arguably the best ability in the game." in terms of how 'proper' the post is? In other news I just had a Rogue deck in Arena with two legendaries and a pretty good curve (as far as I could tell anyway :P) and I managed to play so horrible that I ended 1-3 x_x[/quote]

I could make a proper post myself too if requested, but I didn't feel the need to repeat what has been written already.[/quote]

[quote=throatslasher]Abilities are good at different things and in different situations. However, if we just want to rank them on merit alone with no card interactions, I'd say it would look like this: 1. Warlock 2. Mage 3. Paladin 4. Rogue 5. Druid 6. Priest 7. Shaman 8. Hunter 9. Warrior No one with a brain would argue it's the best. We're just arguing that it's not the worst, aka mid range. Which it is. It has a lot of utility and it does interact with the board.[/quote]

My list would look slightly different: 1. Mage 2. Warlock 3. Paladin 4/5. Druid and Rogue 6. Priest 7. Shaman 8. Hunter 9. Warrior[/quote]
