Shadow or holy?Follow

Well, this is my first topic on the forums, so here goes.

I started the game as a rogue, didn't particularily like it, rerolled priest because I heard everyone wants them. I found out that I absolutely love healing! Right now I am working towards the typical 23/38/0 build most healing priests have. I am level 51.

I have been thinking lately about respeccing shadow. I would still give hp/mana to the party, and healing has gotten so.. I don't know, I feel like such a healbot. Doing the same things over and over, sometimes I don't think the group even needs me, they don't get hurt, and I stand there useless.

Now I don't know, since my group when I level to 70 is depending on me being their healer. The group is my mother, father and fiance. My fiance is my level, 51, and my parents are waiting for us at 70. Now, my mother used to be the healer, she is a druid. She found she hates healing and is respeccing balance.. and they are depending on me being the healer.

Sometimes I think about trying shadow, but I wonder if I might like it too much and not spec back. I want to try it, but I love healing too.

Any advice or anything you guys could give me?

first of all.. what's wrong with your family!? :P You all are cought by the virus! :)

You should try shadow (and love it) until you get to 70. You can heal good until then, given you have acceptable gear (mp5 and +healing). And you can stroll through level 58-69 instances with the help of your mother and father, so you can still heal as shadow.

As for your target, i think you mean 23/38. I wish we had 10 more talent points! :((

And btw.. you can make a holy dps spec, with Searing Light and Surge of Light, and do some dps if the things are under control. Anyway, you should be using your wand in times when you sit idle, waiting to heal someone. I even use wand on Gruul fight :P (at reverberation=mass silence)

There is nothing wrong with trying shadow. You can respec at any time. Also, just because you are shadow doesn't mean you can't pop out of shadow form and heal. Shadow is faster for leveling.

I tried shadow at 70 for a bit. I'm glad that I did, but I'm just happier as holy. So, give it a try. You can always come back.
