Hey guys,
After leveling a Hunter, Mage and Shaman I thought I'd turn my hand to healing as dps'ing has become a little boring and I thought I'd try something different.
At lvl 44 I'am still Shadow spec dps'ing and havent even had to heal anything else apart from myself.
I geared up in Sp and Int. cloth armour thinking thats what a priest needs only to find out I'am stuck in Shadow for a bit longer and have to concentrate on spellpower and mp5, so the outdated faq here saids.
Although having said that I've seen a lot of priests my level running around in stam/int gear (eagle) over spellpower and sp.
I've also been eating food t gain sp, I'am guessing stop doing that and look at food that gives more spellpower?
The Shadow faq here is extremely outdated and EJ only concentrates on post 80 info for raiding, theres not to much out there pre 80 for advice.
At what level can I put away the Shadow spec and start looking at Disc/Holy?
My plan is to dual spec in both healing specs and become a fully blown out healer.
I understand Shadow is great for leveling but I'am not learning a thing about healing as yet.
Also Shadowform, every priest seems to running around in black but at my lower level I'am not seeing the point.
I have one damage spell and 2 DoT's whilst in Shadowform and I lose the ability to use my 2 other Holy damage spells, Smite and Holy Fire, so this limits me to the amount of damage I can do.
Once MB is cast I'am just standing there waiting for it to be used again instead of using my other damage spells in a rotation.
So I dont really see the point of Shadowform at lvl 44.
Is there any guides worth reading that help in understanding the process to 80?
I'am going to dual spec to Holy now but have read its best to stay with Shadow if you want to level and only concentrate on one spec until in the higher levels.
So far all I've learned has come from outdated info and a lot of trial and error, a step in the right direction would be great.
Thanks for any advice given, I've read the healing guides on here and cant wait to be able to put all that information into practice.
