I would have my 2 t10 bonus by now, but sadly haven't been able to do 10man ICC or the dailies since Wednesday. Far to busy PCS moving to Camp Pendleton, CA.

Lern2wowhead talent builds, spellpower from spirit is a holy talent.



And SMITE SPEC OF COURSE.


Geez.







We were actually Nr 1 and 2 on damage done for a while in our last Uldaman run today.

13/16/3 at the moment. I might go full Disc rather soon (i.e. when I can get Rapture).

Aeth is my favourite tank in a long time. Healing him is as much fun as healing the #1 tank (who was also a druid) on Mannoroth a few years ago. But my mana regenerates more quickly now.

I dropped ST when I got Rapture. The mana returns are insane.

You know your standards are very high, though. And when we did have trouble in instances, it was never the tank's (or healer's) fault! Needs more challenging content.

I'm just trying to figure out if "best tank on Mannoroth" is a better or worse title to have than "best tank on Aerie Peak".

€dit: Not meaning to go too far off into Priest territory here, but would it be viable to go full disc at 44 to get 1/3 Rapture, or should I wait till I can get 3/3 and then respec? The only stat that matters to me at the moment (due to a completely overpowered tank who I never really need to heal) is mp5 to minimise downtime.

This is why the Hunter forum doesn't have a 31-page thread of awesome. If I looked it up myself there'd be no reason to ask for an answer and the conversation would just die out.

Lern2+1, srsly.

Full Rapture the talent provides more mana with more points and you need the full points to actually give up on Spirit Tap. The mana return is based on your mana pool so having lots of Int helps, plan ahead as needed. Essentially this spec at level 47. With leeway in many of the points depending on your solo play needs vs always healing people role. If you want to solo more Reflective Shield is great. Imp FH is also very good. Steal from Focused Will or Focused Power as needed.

If you mainly heal Imp FH becomes very good to boost mana efficiency.

Also first glyph is PW:S. Having it heal, provide mana/rage/rp/energy on cast and give you mana back when it breaks is very sexy.

edit: forget to link spec and some clarity stuffs

No, that's the lack of alcohol.



And yeah you can go disc at 47 with the spec Horse posted.
Also, glyph of PW:Shield is awesome.
Not as awesome as Penance glyph but awesome nonetheless.

Glyph of PW:S is why my DPS is so high when I heal.

That and some hit on my gear and the glory of Mind Sear with the BT haste buff.

I actually have Glyph of PW:S on my old Shadowpriest for some reason.

And I do think I'll keep the Smite glyph for the huge DPS boost, at least for a while. All the DPS actually overtaking me on Recount isn't a good feeling, when I actually don't focus purely on healing.


On a side note, I fell off the Aldor lift last night. <3 Glyph of Levitate.

The heal seems a bit underwhelming, though. Was running UP heroic with a Disc Priest and her PW:S heal did 1800 - on crits. Granted, she was in crap gear (3600 gear score), but still seems a little meh, especially since if people take damage through the shield, you'll want to cast a heal or two and there's a chance the 1800 crit would get lost in the overhealing.

I know it would seem like a minor bonus on my Druid, anyway. I mean, my Rejuvs tick for 2k and crit for 3.5k.

Edit: Also, Rapture should apply to PW:S running its full course without breaking. Whenever I toss a shield on a DPS I find myself hoping they'll take more damage so the shield will break. That's just wrong.

Then realize that even if it's only a 1k heal the shield is absorbing 5k damage too.
And if you shield right after the tank pulls it's not often wasted and helps keep people topped off so you don't need to do more than shield plus the occasional heal.

Just wanted to share, nothing really amusing here.

Finally did H-HoR with a few guildies on their alts. They wanted to do all 3 ICC Heroics and, though I only really wanted HoR, I decided to go along and heal for them on my secondary spec, since I like those Heroics.
Had no major problems on the first 2 ones. Only time we wiped was due to my laziness on the cavern pull where ice drops on ground and such. I usually put a rejuv and 3 LBs on the tank so he can get somewhat healed and a bonus to aggro from LB bloom and when he grabs everything I use NS+HT macro. Problem is, I took too much time to heal him and he died, so we wiped.
Anyway, we got to HoR and we tried 3 times. I just couldnt heal and decurse and unpoison ppl all at the same time. Plus the priest and/or mage seens to really love me there. Fortunately, one of the guildies that were there with his DK has a Holy Pally as main, and its one of the better geared healers on our guild. So he gets on his pally and heal the place while I go back to my main spec as moonkin. Was so easier it got boring. I said to him to only care for heals and I would decurse/unpoison while dps.
Nevertheless, it`s a fun place. But I don`t see me running that place with random groups. If the healer/tank isnt pretty well equipped its a place quite dificult (My healer gear is mostly emblems/old gears. I can heal till ICC10 with not too much of a problem on that gear, though).

WTF is going on here? Just about the last thing I expect on this thread is a sober discussion of Priest mechanics. I mean, it's fine, but I thought I was lost/inebriated there for a second, and it's still the morning.

I forget the spell names, since I'm always in either kitty or bear on my druid. For H HoR, use the cleanse poison over time spell, the rogues like to put multiple stacks of their poisons on their target. Unfortunately, because of the crazy burst that can happen, HoT healing is a lot less effective.

Yeah, I was doing that, since Decursive use that spell as default. I tried to heal ppl using Nourish but once I start doing that I got focused by the priest and my mana burned very quick. At least I discovered I can drink between the waves...

I hate H-HoR. It's like Paletress all over again.

For the cavern in Pit of Saron, put Regrowth, Rejuv and Lifebloom on. Usually it's enough to keep anyone up through that run. It should be noted that the tank needs to stop halfway (at the round platform thingy) and kill his trail, or it just gets too much before he reaches the other side.

In HoR, well, you just have to roll Rejuv on everyone, pop WG when possible and hope you get lucky. I suggest tanking it by the entrance instead of LOS. Reduces AOE damage by a lot.
