+ Healing to handle KaraFollow

+1000 heal, 100 mp5

but if they have kara on farm, couldn't they just 9 man it (having you tagging alone making whatever contribution you can while gettings some "ez lootz")

+1000 heal and 100mp5 is definitely a good beginning for your gear. Once you move up to curator, you're gonna need more mp5, maybe 150-175. Go for around 7k mana unbuffed as well, when beginning.

Hmmm interesting, my priest is currently 68 has +800 healing 80 Mp5 and 7600 mana ... should I start trading off some more intellect for more other stats or will my 70 gear pick up the extra +healing and +Mp5 ?

Also, at 68, you really don't have much, if any, of the gear you are going to be running Kara in. If you just go for a goal of around +1000 healing, 130mp5 and 7k mana, all unbuffed, your gear should fall into place.

First off, how much health do you have?

Second, I'd say 6k unbuffed is perfectly fine. Fully raid buff, you'd be pushing 7.5k. (Fully raid buffed means imp. PW:F, imp. GotW, Golden Fishsticks, possibly a flask or elixer)

Don't waste sockets that could be used for more +healing or mp5 on stamina. Besides, you really aren't going to be hit other than by splash damage.

Link you armory?

That looks real good HBC. You've got plenty of healing power, a good amount of mp5, and good mana. Only thing I have to say is a get a bit more HP.

Other than that, once you learn the Karazhan fights, you should be able to handle them all easy, especially cause you'll get some upgrades along the way.

Not sure why they do this. If you being a priest get hit with arcane explosion it is your own fault. You can dispel the movement slowing debuff and easily get out of range. I wouldn't gimp your mp5 and healing for stam in kara, pretty much all dmg in kara is avoidable by just being smart. If you are gonna do anything get some pvp gear to sub in on fights you want more stam for. Gimping your main healing gear is gonna hurt.

Well didn't think about that. Never had a problem in getting him down before being sheeped and really getting sheeped usually comes down to kicks being messed up. Since he doesn't the sheep when he runs out of mana. Again I suggest working on some sort of stam set instead of gimping your healing gear for kara.

Ye thats right, the arcane fireballs was the reason. Healing (>1500) and MP5 (~175) stats have got much much better since that post - I'd only been at 70 10 days... but I do still get told I could do with more HP (currently 6.4k unbuffed) and thats with a few stamina gems. Met Shade's arcane fireballs twice now, survived once and died once when I was his first target straight after it. Just being careful not to loose much HP when weighing up gear upgrades, and have started to keep hold of a few bits of +stam gear to swap into for certain bosses where low HP can be a problem. Stamina gems can always be replaced in the future, for the time being, I'll keep them for balance.

While this statment is true while looking at your gear dadanox, i would suggest stacking 2 lower city prayer books ;) <3 u
