Uncritible?Follow

Anytime you're uncrushable you are also uncrittable. According to your armory profile you have 500+def which means you are also passively uncrittable. Read the 1st sticky it will more fully answer your question.

So I'm guessing its my wifes lack of bonus healing thats getting us killed in the higher end heroics then?

Thanks,

its always her fault. this is coming from a tank with an exclusive healer, my wife.

just dont blame her or she'll go all crazy on you.

While your fix is also technically true, I meant it the original way :D If someone tries to rely on pushing crits off of the attack table by stacking block + avoidence, they WILL be crit repeatedly whereas crit immunity through Defense is actually reliable.

What class of healer is she? 1300 healing is WAAYYYY less for a Priest or Druid than it is for a Paladin. A 1300 Paladin could probably keep me up in heroics while I wear Spell Damage gear and parade through with almost no CC. A 1300 Priest would have a WAY harder time, and a 1300 Druid might as well go home.

I'm the pocket healer Dizzer is posting about. Here is a link to my armory profile: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Area+52&n=Korinae

I'm at 1411 healing w/o buffs, probably around 1500 with my spirit buff and closer to 1600 with fish sticks/healing power potions. I just got some new toys last night, so I haven't had a chance to trick myself out and get the exact numbers. I feel pretty confident that it isn't my healing skills as I rarely have issues in regular instances, and I am getting pretty damned good at healing Kara.

So as a holy/disc priest, can anyone give me an idea of how much healing I would need for the different heroics to be able to do it without committing suicide repeatedly? Obviously, the rest of the group comes into play also, but a general idea would be nice. I know the more healing the better, but if, for example, you need a minimum of 1600 healing for one heroic, I wouldn't want to try it with 1300.

Good questions.

I think on the SV run we had an ok group.
a mage a lock
and 1 other melee dps a druid
I however dont know what the dps of the group was but the fights weren't lasting long so i think we were better than average. but I don't have a dps meter at the moment.
Were just working with eachother trying to figure it out so we can stay alive in the higher end heroics because we both need alot of badges for some gear :D

Thanks,
Iced.

Did the lock use their succubus for CC? If not, then you only had one CC. That is tough.

Also, high end heroics don't give more badges (SV is not a high end heroic - it's actually one of the easier ones). You get the most badges from either the daily, or running Bot. Bot has 5 badges, and is a pretty easy heroic.

If you get a good group, your best bet for badge farming is to learn the easiest heroics, and fly through them.

If you are coordinated, you can probably easily do:

Ramparts - 45 mins (3 badges)
Bot - 1 hr (5 badges)
Mech - 45 mins (4 badges)
Underbog - 1 hr (4 badges)

Just some food for thought. I'm sure you'll do just fine.

EDIT - If you have an over-geared group, then it will go even faster.

I've done a bit of Maoist self-criticism here before and will continue to admit as much- I have a much (much) harder time healing the "easy" heroics than I have healing Kara. We can two-heal most of Kara, but Heroic Ramps and Underbog make my bloodpressure skyrocket. One problem is that I know that my healing style needs a major adaptation going from one to the other. For most Heroic trash pulls, Flash of Light healing doesn't work. I have to go into most trash pulls expecting to blow 80% of my mana or more, popping trinkets and using a lot more Holy Light than I would in any other circumstances, and then sit to drink quickly while the tank starts the next pull. I heal very conservatively in Kara, while in Heroic runs, mana conservation is just not as important.




QFT. These are mostly guild runs I'm describing too, so I *know* beyond any doubt that the tank isn't the problem. So it's either the DPS or the healer, and is most likely the healer. As YJMark noted above, Heroic trash can hit really really hard. You've got to look at how you heal and experiment a little. Don't just assume you can do what you do in Kara (where there's 1-2 other healers backing you up). You may need to do more anticipatory healing (even when the tank is at full life, you know a 3k hit is coming in the next second or two). Your gear's not holding you back; success will come with experience.

Best of luck to you both!
