Yeah, it hadn't occurred to me until we chatted afterwards just how far the Light list has fallen. A Life priest would now be a far more attractive option than a Light mage: both have limited application, but Life is far more powerful when it kicks in: and Bless covers for both armour (kick Aura) and Sun Blade; only the Sun darts are any good.

There's not much reason any more to play a Light mage: play a Fire mage instead, really...
