Evan Michaels: The default size of the Priest of Mitra and all other Priest cone heals is a 120 degree cone, offset 60 degrees from the center of one’s character. This cone extends 6 meters from the caster, and targets must be in line of sight of the healer at the time the heal is cast. Provided these criteria are met, the heal will be applied to any friendly targets (even ones outside the group) within the area.

That sounds pretty cool. Reminds me of the old EQ term "battle cleric". If the class mechanics are somewhat similar to that, I might just get into playing a healer again
The fact that its a directional AE means there won't be a need to tab around to spot heal an off-tank, as long as hes in the right area.

Evan: We are using many variations of this theme when designing the Priest of Mitra and, as such, a large number of their feats and abilities are molded around this concept. For instance, the “Spiritual Feedback” feat places short-term a stacking holy damage increase buff on the Priest depending on how many targets they succeed in hitting with a cone heal. There are also similar abilities which cause each tick of the Priest’s heals to provide an effect, such as returning mana and stamina to their group, or causing the Priest’s next damage spell to cost no mana.

To me, that indicates a HoT with a residual effect. Pretty cool indeed. Definitely better than hitting the Yaulp spell all the time.
I am however, a little more than curious about this:

Evan: When looking at the Priest of Mitra’s skillset from a PvP perspective, one would probably view their large array of crowd-control techniques as a primary point of interest. Once they reach level 80, a Priest of Mitra has access to stun, fear, knockback, snare, and blind abilities—granting them a rather formidable crowd-control toolset. The time gained by proper usage of these abilities should give the Priest the ability to support their group in many ways—be it via damage or healing.

So what do they use while leveling to 80? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
