Will Priests Ever Get a Crit Buff?
It makes me sad that most people favor mystic over priest nowadays because they have crit + aspd + power. Priest's ES barely and i mean BARELY brings more power + aspd. It's not enough to compensate the loss of double crit. Will priests ever get a crit buff to ES?

that isnt a glyph is a talent, and mystic also have that talent
priest gives more attack speed (+3,6% if i remember) and +33 power than mystic +1% endurance debuff buff
while with mystic you get +-60 crit factor (depending in your class) and contagion (that in the end is almost the same result as priest endurance debuff)
so the healers are pretty equalized. the only good point about mystic is hurricane staff ( they can be out combat easily), but this will be removed next patch.
in the end the healer give almost the same party dps contribution.
Not really. 30 power is equal to 60 crit only for players that already reached cap crit (warrior, archer) and with mystic aura can sacrifice +60 crit from gear to gain 30 power - for them priest is even more convenient because priest set=solo set.
All other classes have insanely high crit cap and almost always benefit more from crit than equal (2:1) amount of power. That's why crit inners are like a few times more expensive than power ones, 10 power does not equal 20 crit.
just give mystics a glyph to increase power by set amount with warding totem. xD
will priest ever get contagion?
I like how you misspelled a Tera deity for coconut jam.

With a Mystic you can use power jewelry anyways, and Kaia's isn't needed to face tank anything when you're geared. Motes are all around better than Kaia's. Corruption Ring also provides free dps on some bosses, unnecessary safety and generally makes some mechanics meaningless. After all the buffs Kaia's will literally be the only major advantage they have over Mystic while Mystic has more advantages over Priest.
mystics have a shield on warding totem but i'm not sure if that shield has been buffed after the lvl 65 patch came but that's problem for both healers every patch the dmg and hp of players gets higher but there skills don't change the mystic thralls do the same dmg but players have better gear the motes heal the same but because they are not effected by weapons get less usefull every patch and the priests kaia shield absorbs the same dmg but the bosses do more dmg every patch this tings are not effected by gear so they are less usefule every time we get new content
Your points can be flipped over, too.
With a Priest, someone could just use Blubreds to get extra crit as necessary.
Kaias is more for mechanics than facetanking basic attacks, which leads me onto my next point -
Motes are better for cleansing and topups, that's it, for facetanking, Kaias is better, requires no player-input other than from the priest, doesn't require you to stop dps to activate it, and allows people to sit in stuff they usually wouldn't, or even tackle fights differently. Such examples include Kaias for Triple Donut in RMHM while allowing DPS classes to use hardies, Spheres in RMHM, 100 charge aoe during second boss in LKHM, all of which are flat damage mechanics unaffected by gear.
Also Corruption Ring is meaningless for dps, you'll crit 300k if you're lucky, certainly isn't free, it's only use is the damage reduction and mana return.
As we get more and more crit from gear, and with the advent of running 5x 'tier 2 jewelry' (Manorborne, Blubred. Shadowvain, Shademaze last patch), and recent class buffs increasing critrates, the disparity between Priest and Mystic isn't quite as big as you think.
