Dear WOW players,
I know that keeping the names of various abilities straight isn’t easy, especially when there are so many of them. But I think we can pretty much all agree that we’re never going to see priests casting Presence of Mind. Thus:
- POM (or PoM if you’re feeling pretentious) is Prayer of Mending.
- PROM is what you attended when you were a junior and senior in high school. (Or will attend, if you want to make me feel old.)
We don’t need “ProM” to distinguish our healing spell from the mages’ self-buff. Nobody’s actually going to make that mistake. Yes, a mage can occasionally have POM and POM on at the same time, but here’s a protip: it doesn’t actually matter unless you’re making the point that you can have POM and POM on at the same time.
Remember: POM is a spell. PROM involves formalwear. You can remember this with this simple mnemonic: “R is wRong.”
Thank you for your time. Refreshments will be served by the mages.
-Chris

My favorite is when someone tries to pronounce rogues’ Fan of Knives acronym over Vent.
