Sometimes, just for fun, I click on "attack" at the beginning of a fight. An occasional swing occurs during cool down which levels my weapon.

For Kicks

(When you're decked out in purples and can kill most anything with just PW:S and DP, skilling up weapons is easy)

Just a quick question...anyone here dual specced disc/holy? If so, how do you like it?

I am. I like having the option to switch from my main spec of disc, to holy on Lotheb. I can pre-cast PoH and follow it with CoH, each healing cycle. It worked out pretty well.

I also can try holy on other fights. I did that tonight in Ulduar and felt like a fish out of water. Anyway, I do like having the option. I'm keeping my shadow specific gear in the bank, in case I change my mind again.

At level 41, Shadow doesn't impress me. Maybe it gets better, but I have more fun, and level faster, as Discipline. I think I'll scrap my shadow spec for now and try Holy. That way, I get a feel for both sides of priest healing. Maybe it'll help me be a better healer in the long run. Thank you for your input!

Wow that is not my experience at all.

What rotation do you use for shadow and disc when leveling?

For Disc, I pull with mind blast, then SW:P, Devouring Plague, Holy Fire and Smite (If necessary), and when the mob is at about 20%, I use my wand.

For shadow, I don't really remember, but its something like, pull with MF, then MB, SW:P, DP, wand (or if its still above 50%, I use MB again).

o/

I like it a lot, seeing as my gear allows me to AOE-grind myself through dailies with Holy Nova and I don't do shadow at all anyway. That said, I do spend about 80% of my time in a raid instance as disc and only 20% as holy; due to the gear I've got disc 'raid healing' is often more effective than holy raid healing. Also, I usually run with a druid and paladin in my group; with the druid being designated raid healer and the paladin designated MT healer I prefer disc over holy because it's a little more mobile and has more survivability - I usually see myself as the "spare healer" who helps out with stuff the paladin and druid can't do, and disc is simply better for that role. That said, I do ocassionaly go holy because Guardian Spirit is made out of 80% win with 20% glyph added, and I'd probably go completely holy if I got stuck together with two paladin healers.
