You people...Follow

I was a bit down the other day in an Ony pug, seeing that my healing was at the low end of our group of healers. Then I saw my glyph of pw:shield had done over 200k healing and I felt better. Since it heals for 20% of your shield's absorption amount. That means I had up to a million damage absorption unaccounted for on the meters. Yep, I felt better.

I spent a few weeks healing on my druid. It's fun and I geared up a bit, but it was sure nice to come back to the priest after a little time away.

I can't wait until 3.3 comes out. I'm actually looking forward to trying out the random heroic lfg system. It will be fun to have some new emblems to work for.

How about "I'm going to host a lazer shooting event for our guild next saturday"?

Which immediatly reveals my hidden agenda when I add that I've PM'd ArexLovesPies for additional rules (seeing as he brought up the idea in the first place) and am not getting a response...

How dare you refer to me as you people. I feel insulted.

I mean come on teacake, I am one of the only pacific islanders that posts on these boards.

That you singled me out for an insulting reason is amazing. I thought and expected better of you.

For shame teacake. For shame.

edit: Is that good for drama? Just trying to help. :)


I know you used to have a druid claw mark shirt. Do you still rock it?


Yes, I was a forum ghost when you were a druid. Deal.

Well I finally got my grids and key bindings worked out.

If you like simple here it is:

(Disc) q for FL, e for shield, r for penance, 1 cure disease, 4 dispel magic, 5 for pain suppression, ` for hymn, 2 for PoM, 3 for binding.

grid:

upper left corner disease, upper right magic, lower left shield, lower right weakened,
name fades if the player is out of range, red outer boarder for aggro.

Once I have that down I will get more complicated.

Oh and test this out in AV not an instance...very bad to muck in an instance.

Ok, a priest, a warlock and a mage walk into a bar. The barkeep says, "Whattya think this is, a ***** house?"

-Who was he asking?

Okay, so I had twenty minutes before my daughter's bus comes, and I think we can all agree that's not long enough to do any real work, so I threw together this and did an AV quick. Yeah, it could use some tweaking, but I did say "threw together" right? But lololfunlol. Searing Light + Surge of Light = Dead Gnomes. It's some seriously fun stuff. Losing Pain Suppression is huge, but Body and Soul quick sprints away somewhat mitigate that, plus Renew+Shield+PoM on self is a lot of ohcrap in a very short time without even having to blow the DP cooldown.

Mana could be an issue, but with Surge of Light, Holy Concentration, and Greatness Card all having a chance to proc with every tick of every Renew, plus all 6 CoH hits, I'd be as likely to stack crit to solve that as spirit.

Doubt it would hold up in Arena but I highly recommend it for battlegrounds, and probably Wintergrasp. Of course Disc is lovely and awesome, but this makes a fun change.

No, definitely not for Arena (unless you're unusually good, like the guys Aethien linked earlier, which case you can probably get away with a lot). You're certainly giving up quite a bit of survivability. Plus, there's no doubt that nothing can replace Penance as the big heal. But the mobility of this spec is outstanding. Improved Renew, SoL Flash Heals, CoH, Improved Shields, and PoM on the one side, and SoL Smites, SW:D, and dots on the other pretty much guarantee you never have to stand still to cast at a bad time. Combine that with the Body and Soul'd shields and it's like a non-stop dance party.

The mana wasn't too bad, but certainly worse. I can see giving up some healing for better mana if adding crit didn't help, throwing Mental Strength in there, for example, like this, although giving up the decreased PoM cooldown would hurt.

This is why dual spec was such a good idea. A niche spec like this with such limited use isn't something I'd personally ever bother goofing around with if I had only one spec. But you can learn a lot from these sorts of experiments, for example, that rogues are squishier than they look. DP, Holy Fire, SW:D, instant Smite, awwww sorry, were you killed? By a healer? Who survived your kidney shot? Shame to be you, pal.

Sounds good to me.
Probably only kept you entertained for about 30 seconds, though. =(

I'll try to do better next time, but I was under pressure there.
Sploding gnomes in AV should have kept you entertained for a while. =)

I'm also kinda disapointed by the lack of activity on the Priest forum, but I think we're just kinda lacking a certain something...

"Rate my spec!"
"Iz this gud 4 me?
"What spec makes me the best?"
"Check out my awesome spec!!!!!1!111!"
"<insert random angst>"
"I am teh roxxzorses"
"What gear do I use?"
"Nerf Pallies/Rogues/Ninja Kittens/etc"


... Namely we seem to be lacking idiots making annoying threads

In all seriousness, there aren't many topics on the priest forum mostly because the norm is that people usually only post here with priest questions or to relate some interesting priestly event.

There just aren't enough of us on the board. Aethien was a good start, but we must recruit more Priests!

PRIEST ARE NOT OP! WE NEED BUFFS!

/crawls out of lurkhole to add some words that are in no way related to this thread.

Aardvark

Another pizza

That is all

I'd really appreciate it if you'd lurk less and post more. This is all excellent advice for any priest. What's on the other pizza?


Edit: See Aethien, if you were PVPing Holy, you'd have Body and Soul to run away when you see the lolstormer coming after you, and if you're lucky it's up, or nearly so, by the time he gets you. I've done this a couple of times in battlegrounds and it really seems to **** them off, which is worth the respec cost just for that. :D (Not that I expect you to spec Holy for arena.)
