Text of the page (random words):
community and made some wonderful new friends i can t imagine calling anywhere else home oh and the matticast around december or so matt from world of matticus put a call out for cohosts for the companion podcast for his site i feel incredibly grateful and lucky that he chose me as one of the people to work on this project with him i have an absolute ball recording with him borsk brian and chase every week they are all so incredibly fun to talk to and smart so if you haven t already given it a listen check it out on wom or itunes sometime i don t know where my new motivation will take me i think for the time being most of my inspiration is coming from personal dilemmas and experiences i have ideas regarding healing and encounter strategies of course but there are also so many wonderful resources out there that i might just be echoing those who have written before me and there may or may not be a certain dwarven priest who would probably do a little jig of joy if those miraculously appeared on another site either way thank you for being along for the ride priesting in cataclysm part one leveling posted by trini on december 6 2010 in cataclysm leveling questionnaire 2 comments when i was a newbie priest a certain someone hooked me onto wow by promising two things 1 he would level with me so i could heal all the way to 70 2 i would have a veritable menagerie of cute companions that could follow me around at all times the second point was accumulated along the way though upon my first login i was presented with a white kitten and a snowshoe hare e followed through on his end of the bargain we leveled all the way to 70 together he pulling every mob in site and me gleefully smashing as many of my heal buttons as i could to keep him alive it was all i really knew for awhile anyway after awhile my isolated bubble of wow existence turned into a running joke which then morphed into an issue of pride even now i can honestly say that edainne on terenas not her clone has never once been spec d shadow and as silly as it seems it s so much a part of her character or what i envision her to be that it s not something i want to let go of lightly so part of my preparation for cataclysm was to create a disc holy oriented spec to level with and now i d like to share it with all the other masochists healing enthusiasts out there who want to keep their beloved priests smiting away a couple of notes before we begin this is my core spec starting at level 80 the talent points you gain along the way can be used creatively i am not gearing this towards people who will be chain running instances personally i like experiencing the lore and story lines that go into questing i also get endlessly frustrated by random dungeons and this is supposed to be a fun experience not a hair pulling one this is not the quickest way to level if your goal is to get to 85 as fast as draeneily possible or dwarvenly or gnomely or whichever race you choose to play this is probably not the way for you on that note from what i ve seen in the beta it is a little bit slower going leveling as a healer i think they purposely didn t try to tune the outside world for healers to level with because duel specs are very easy to come by nowadays and it would be perfectly reasonable to assume that most people have some sort of dps offspec my plan for leveling is to use one of the below specs for questing and then having a normal pve spec for healing instances with part one the discipline spec pros bubbles actually last the duration of a fight reflective shield is awesome more mana efficient smite heals you cons slightly less damage done than a holy spec getting low on health can easily turn into a death sentence the spec tier by tier tier 1 improved power word shield 2 2 because when you re fighting mobs that can actually kill you you want that extra bubble twin disciplines 3 3 more damage killing faster faster leveling and or less time getting acquainted with the ground tier 2 evangelism 2 2 and archangel 1 1 basically each time you smite you gain a buff that will reduce the mana cost and increase the damage of your smite holy fire and penance when you activate archangel you ll consume the stacks of evangelism refunding 3 of your total mana pool for each stack it not only keeps you from going out of mana but the wings are so pretty love soul warding 2 2 reduces the cool down of your shields inner sanctum 1 2 i used this to jump down to the next tier it increases the effectiveness of your inner fire or inner will if you re having mana issues another choice could be mental agility 1 3 to reduce the mana cost of instant cast spells tier 3 renewed hope 2 2 increasing the effectiveness of most of your heals on a target with weakened soul i e you just seems like a good idea when mobs can bring you to half health in one shot power infusion 1 1 because who doesn t want a mini heroism atonement 2 2 your smites heal you no more wasting time healing when you can just kill your way back to full health inner focus 1 1 because having a free heal is always a good thing tier 4 rapture 3 3 your shields will break often while questing might as well have your enemies restore mana while they re at it borrowed time 2 2 again since you re likely to be recasting your shields every time you enter or are about to enter combat it just makes sense to grant your penace holy fire smite a bit of haste reflective shield 2 2 because who doesn t love going neener neener neener when a twilight cultist attacks you only to be smote by the power of your holy goodness tier 5 divine aegis 3 3 because you can never have too many bubbles and it leads to the only spell that made me consider going discipline full time pain suppression 1 1 this is just one of those obvious choices once you start questing in hyjal or vash jr and repeatedly get your face pounded in by geblins or cultists tier 6 focused will 2 2 it s not really that impressive if an enemy can take 10 of your health in one swing seeing as you re light filled cloth wearing squishy which makes it awesome that as soon as they do you take reduced damage for the next 8 seconds grace 2 2 when you re soloing chances are this buff will only stack on you unless you have a penchant for healing any random passerby which hi totally understand that and increased healing is always a good thing tier 7 power word barrier 1 1 this spell makes me so happy and while in the beta it got me through a lot of quests i was convinced i wouldn t have been able to do otherwise not even guardian spirit was working on those pulls 3 remaining points what can i do my favorite choices for the last three points you have as a level 80 are either darkness for the haste buff or veiled shadows for the increased uptime on shadowfiend either should be fine choices you can also put points into divine fury to reduce the cast time on your smite and heal spells discipline felt like a great spec for leveling because i never felt the need to constantly heal myself or sit and drink between pulls i did feel like i killed things a bit slower than i did as holy though part two the holy spec pros feels like it hits harder than discipline bigger heals when needed fun chakra states chastise cons less mana efficient smaller bubbles lead to more push back no smite heals or power word barrier sad panda tier one divine fury 3 3 because who wants a slow smite improved renew 2 2 now with 10 more healing to keep you alive after the bubble fails empowered healing 3 3 as a holy priest you ll be healing yourself more than your discipline counterparts damn them and their bubble mastery tier 2 surge of light 2 2 free instant heals that proc when i cast smite yes please inspiration 2 2 damage reduction is always helpful while soloing editor s note yes you can take desperate prayer the instant self heal with a 2 minute cooldown but i happen to prefer to put my points elsewhere since i already have 2 free heals from being a draenei herbalist tier 3 holy concentration 2 2 as a holy priest smiting isn t exactly mana friendly so the more in combat regeneration the better lightwell 1 1 i found in the beta that if i put this in the middle of a group of mobs and then pulled them to me one at a time i used a lot mess mana healing myself than alternating smite with heal tome of light 2 2 the more often i can stun an enemy with chastise and prevent them from hitting me the happier i am tier 4 spirit of redemption 1 1 the iconic holy priest flail angel how could you not take it serendipity 2 2 when you re really in a pickle and flash heals just aren t doing the trick a quick greater heal is just the pick me up you need editor s note tier 4 for holy priest doesn t offer much by way of offensive or defensive spells if there are other talents in earlier tiers go for them i m a sucker for nostalgia and nothing quite makes me think of a holy priest as much as spirit of redemption tier 5 body and soul 2 2 when you absolutely positively have to get there on time or cleanse a poison chakra 1 1 chakra smite is an integral part of a holy priest s arsenal while soloing increasing damage done by holy and shadow spells by 15 revelations 1 1 switching your holy word chastise to correspond with your chakra state i found it helpful to enter the prayer of healing chakra during certain encounters so that i was able to use holy word sanctuary as a boost to my survivability blessed resilience 2 2 like focused will it s dependent on taking 10 of your health in damage in one hit which isn t especially hard to do as a clothie another good talent for staying alive while questing tier 6 test of faith 2 3 increased healing when you re below 50 health it s surprising how much harder it is to fill your health bar once it s crossed the half way point state of mind 2 2 now you don t have to worry about your smite chakra falling away so easily circle of healing 1 1 because it s fun instant and i love it tier 7 guardian spirit 1 1 the ultimate oh crap button saving yourself from certain death when nothing else will wait what about all the extra points i have i like going into any of the shadow talents above especially veiled shadows because i find my shadowfiend to be a helpful companion in taking down the resilient cataclysm mobs there s also the option of branching into discipline for twin disciplines and improved shields leveling as a holy priest requires a lot more active healing than as a discipline priest bubbles seem to run out a lot faster than i had expected or gotten used to in wrath that being said the smites do hit harder and the chastise goes a long way in dealing with mobs the best pattern i found for effective holy priest leveling in the beta was to cast two offensive spells then a heal and repeat that pattern putting up power word shield and chastising whenever available until the mob dies the glyphs for both specs are actually quite similar i like using whichever prime glyphs are my favorites for discipline it s barrier shield and penance and for holy it s guardian spirit renew and lightwell and focusing on the major glyphs to take care of my smites divine accuracy so i don t miss often smite so i do more damage and psychic scream so i can have another way of keeping mobs from hitting me without accidentally aggroing more so this is my tentative plan for cataclysm s release on tuesday i m pretty confident that i can level as a healer to 85 without chain running instances i ve done it before and it ll be one of those fun challenges i ll look back on fondly once it s over or i ll realize how absurd i ve been acting one or the other how are you all changing your specs around to accommodate your leveling styles pre cataclysm brain dump posted by trini on december 3 2010 in love cataclysm expansion pets 4 comments hi it s been a long time since i ve been around but with the new year approaching and with new inspiration for cataclysm i felt the desire to start blogging again bear with me while i readjust and please feel free to send hugs and happy vibes my way preparing for the clysm so we re officially 75 hours away from the release date ok more like 85 if you live in an area like i do that isn t having a midnight release you re responsible for my pouty face best buy i hadn t really been on my toons except for my teams weekly raids but from right before the shattering until tonight i ve been on a little every day preparing my characters as best i can for the leveling blitz i ve moved all my characters to new homes fully taking advantages of all the inns i ve never seen before who knew there was more than one in ironforge i ve leveled my little gnome mage and given her some much deserved attention before she gets shelved for another x amount of months until i ve finished leveling all my healers to 85 and gotten them to the point where i feel like i can let them sit for 5 minutes while i toy around with something that doesn t involve the end game and i ve mapped out edainne s leveling spec since i m a masochist and stubborn i don t want to tarnish her record of never being shadow although i will say this now none of my other characters will level that way they all have dps specs i m not that mean to myself also having 4 people to instance with makes me dance a little bit in my seat when we were leveling in wrath there was a group of 8 of us or so that would join up and queue together it made the learning curve so much less stressful there wasn t ever a fear of being cursed out or ridiculed for wiping rip old azeroth i surprised myself a little when i actually felt sad to see the old world replaced by the new order i thought i had come to terms with the changes but part of me wished that i had appreciated the old world a little more before it vanished i spent my last weeks farming the vanishing reps and helping my friends do the same and i didn t really look around too often the night before the patch was released i found myself gazing at the trelisses that used to adorn the buildings in stormwind s now destroyed park district and realized i had never noticed how pretty they were before i took some last screenshots then headed over to the roomier less densely populated inn in old town and logged out to the sindragosa load screen one last time i do have a little consolation though even though i never got around to taking all the pictures of pre cataclysmic angelya at revive and rejuvinate has an awesome gallery of screenshots leveling oh god is it fun in bc right before wrath came out i remember spending all my time on my 70s just enjoying the new talent trees and having one last hooray at raids that were made much much easier by the changes this time around i m spending all my time online on lowbie alts i m leveling new hordies to experience their side of the stories plus my troll druid looks like she had an accident at the crayola factory it s awesome and my mage just feels like the awesome little ball of fire she is plus the new quests keep everythin...
