ok so as most of you know yesterday's daily heroic was Blood furnace, im a paladin if you want to find me im the only person in the game named "elitedawson" btw if anyone makes a toon with that name ill hunt you down and murdur you. my spec is a pve/pvp mix, ive got enough in the prot tree to get the imp devo aura and concentration aura, some extra armor, kings, imp BOP, and imp righteous fury for the extra armor in pvp, as far as my holy tree goes i dont have any resist fear or damage reducing abilities for the pvp aspect of the game, not the best spec but suits me for most things.
ive got 1700 healing more than enough mp5 and more than enough mana for any battle in a heroic, ive healed heroic BF a few times but last night gave me more trouble than anything ever. I have the libram that gives the improvments to blessing of light from kara, so i had BoL on my tank, salv on the three dps, and wisdom on myself. the fury warrior was fairly well geared, the mage and rogue not really well geared at all, i got a 2k FoL crit on the mage and gave him about 40% of his hp back, and the rogue was still using a weapon that had 62.5 dps. The warrior's gear wasnt that bad, he still had 1 green but he still had enough gear to tank the first few bosses in kara, meaning he should have been more than well enough geared for heroic BF, i did it probably 5 months ago on my warrior and i had only one epic (bracers of courage(huntsman)) and mostly blues with a green or two and didnt get hit like this guy did.
The orcs could probably 4 shot the tank. so i put up devo aura just to give him a bit more armor, the orcs would one shot the mage when he failed to pay attention which made me laugh but then i was next on their hitlist. I ended up dieing so many times, my t4 and kara gear required a total of 62 gold in repairs.
so i have two things, one to rant about one to ask.
What was i doing wrong as far as healing, ive never had this much trouble keeping a tank up, even ones with poor gear and in some of the harder heroics. did blizzard change something on me that i didnt realize like ***** warriors and/or paladins?
second which is the rant.(ill post on the blizzard forums also) i wish they would change it back to requiring reverred to be able to use your heroic keys. Because honestly people that arent reverred with various factions have not done enough instances to get the gear to do the heroics making it that much harder to find a decent group when there arent many guildies on. and if they dont want to change it back to the way it was, then they can give me enough money to count for all of the extra repair bills getting to reverred with all of the factions and enough money to pay for the repair bills from having to do heroics with poorly geared people, which is partially my mistake for not sticking it to the man and demanding that we wait a bit longer for well geared players.
