In Blizzard's notes
What Blizzard said about Dark Sacrifice, each line checked against the files.
- Matches the files
Dark Sacrifice no longer breaks Crowd Control that breaks on damage.
The files In build 70009 all 5 Dark Sacrifice ranks (1277324 to 1277328) switched from a periodic damage aura to a periodic dummy aura, so the Health cost no longer counts as damage.
- Matches the files
Dark Sacrifice's tooltip now correctly displays that the Mana gained from the ability scales with Spirit.
The files Build 70009 added Spirit to the Mana figure in the tooltip. Rank 5 now reads 'gain (1600 + 100% of Spirit) Mana.'

Priest Racial Abilities: Each race of Priest has two spells unique to their Race. They have been fully re-evaluated, and new ones have been added for Gnome Priests:
The files Each priest race has exactly two race-locked spells in 70245: Human Feedback and Divine Grace, Dwarf Desperate Prayer and Chastise, Night Elf Starshards and Elune's Grace, Troll Hex of Weakness and Shadowguard, Undead Touch of Weakness and Dark Sacrifice, Gnome Confounding Flash and Contingency Plan (skill line race masks). Classic Era had no Gnome priest spells.
