Interrupt? Me?Follow

Hey guys...noob question here....

Being almost always strickly holy (I'm very good at healing) I was surprised when I was asked to go shadow for a TOC 10 run this week. Having never dps'd in there before it was exciting untill we got to the twins. Just as we pulled the raid leader said " and priest...dont forget to interrupt when they try to get that heal off after the shield..."
Well I kinda panicked because I had no idea what interrupt he was talkin about. After the shield went down my DBM flashed a message that said " Kick Now". As I stared blankly at the screen they got the heal off...we wiped...and I was booted before I had a chance to sheepishly explain my noobyness. Had he asked me to interrupt before we pulled I would have asked them exactly what I was to do but...I never got that chance so I'm asking here. What interrupt am I suppose to use there? I'm sure walking up and /kicking the boss wouldn't work lol. Shadow is my off-off spec so I really need help on this one.

Thx

LOL kickboxing ya....that should be a talent for sure.

As far as mass dispel...DBM always tells ya when to do that so I assumed that wasn't it. Plus the mechanics don't fit...dispel gets rid of a debuff, an interrupt stops a cast (heal) from taking place. Surely I cant fear them....??

Are you a blood elf? I bet they wanted you to use your arcane torrent!! They had you switch to shadow because the hit value on your gear will decrease the chance it misses.

hehe, like I said I have no clue.



Most spriests opt out of that talent in their PVE builds though don't they? Maybe they just expected you to have it as a base spell.

I dual spec Holy/Disc, or sometimes Holy/Holy. Next time put on your DPS gear and tell them you'll just use Smite.

Does Psychic Horror have any kind of interrupt to it, or is it just a ranged disarm?

A person could almost forgive you for being Alliance.

Only Teacake...

I really hope it was a PuG you were in because the RL was a douche. The only class that I know can kick are rogues, and if he's asking YOU to kick, then obviously he hasn't raided much.

First thing's first:


I love Body and Soul more than cupcakes and daisies and the Fourth of July. It's indispensible in PVP, but I always take it in every build always with no exceptions ever. For PVE it's situationally useful, yes, but in those situations there is nothing cooler. However, I don't raid, so my spec doesn't need to be particularly tight and I can play with the fun talents instead of the srs bsns talents if I want to. I'll leave the raiders to comment on whether it's worth 2 points in current content or not.

Now, if they'd shuffle it over to the Disc tree and you could have B&S and Penance?

I give up Test of Faith for it. My equipment is not good enough to go without Holy Concentration.

Hehe. Really, mine isn't either. I spend so much time inside the 5SR that I don't notice the miniscule amount of extra regen I was getting from Holy Concentration. As it is, I haven't had anymore mana troubles than I was having before. I don't normally take Test of Faith, so I can't really pull points from it. And I'm not giving up Serendipity. :)

Yeah, it's definitely one of those "sucks on paper" kind of things. I mean, an on-demand Sprint with a 15 sec CD? Okay, kinda "meh". Poison dispel on self? Situationally useful. Not as useful as a full blown Cure/Abolish Poison, but still moderately useful.

Now, put it in a practical use, it's got all kinds of uses for it. Makes the Ick & Krick fight in Pit of Saron easier. Shield the pursuee and voila! Poor guy doesn't get oneshot. Especially helpful if he's chasing you. OT, but why does Krick love to chase the healer? 3 runs through and it's 7 times being chased by that overgrown stuffed toy. On the Scourgelord Tyrannus fight, it makes it easier when he does Unholy Power for the tank to kite him across a piece of ice.
