The Priest Accomplishment ThreadFollow

To be honest, there's no alternative for Penance glyph so the whole discussion is moot.
I mean, there's PW:Shield, Penance, PoH, Flash Heal and Renew as far as glyphs go.

Flash heal glyph is weak once you get some decent gear, renew glyph is pretty weak and the PoHealing glyph isn't very strong either.
I'd say there's simply no other option than going Penance, Shield, Flash heal until you get some decent gear and the switch to Penance, Shield, PoH.

Joined a random dungeon group on my priest at level 50, ended up in Blackrock Depths. We only had to kill one boss for the random dungeon loot, but we decided to finish the whole place. We had to boot one hunter because he was ninjalooting, ninjapulling ******. So there was 4 of us, the highest level was 52, I was the only one with BoA gear, and we managed to complete the whole of BRD without any wipes. It felt pretty epic when we finally managed it. I also dinged twice inside the dungeon which was useful.

So, what spec are you?

I need Premium again.

Grats to all of you on your many accomplishments!

I don't really have any, other than I grinded out a lot of feathers. I would consider it an accomplishment right now if I could cast Penance without going "F&*k where the F&*kity F&*k is the F&*king Penance key?" Yay for my new G13! Boo for anything that makes me learn!

Oh, I tried out my Disc spec as both healer and DPS now.

Healing is about the same, my mana lasts a tad longer but not by too much. This is still good because I changed my gear around a lot and lost more than 15% of my i5sr mana regeneration, so with my old gear, my mana regeneration would be pretty insane now.

DPSing didn't go over so well. I actually didn't run OOM faster than usual even without Spirit Tap because my casts take so bloody long now! The drop in damage done was much more severe than I had expected. Not even having two haste cooldowns that were up for every bossfight helped that much. I would estimate my potential DPS to have dropped by some 25%, which would be a lot.

I'm actually considering dropping Power Infusion because if I need haste, I can just use my racial. I need to remember to put it on mages or something.


Also, finally got Prayer of Fortitude. <3


Edit: After having played priests since I started the game, I learned the word for Smite in my own language today, and it's a deal breaker. If I wouldn't use the English version of WoW, I'd probably play shadow or a different class. Or not at all. Looking at the translation for Mind Flay, that's not much better. Mage spells seem to sound the least stupid, but God, I wouldn't be able to play the game like that.

I was all excited for new honor gear until I saw that the new robe looks exactly the same as the old one. I am so sick of red dresses. Would it kill them to make one in, like, blue or something?



Yabbut. Stranger danger! I'll keep my iLevel 213 gear in exchange for not having to PUG.

There are three people in my guild, one of whom is my next of kin. I take this stranger danger thing very seriously. I wouldn't even play with you.*

But your point stands. This dungeon tool is really a great thing for making sure new players/alts just hitting 80 can still get into endgame PVE if they want to. I remember how hard it used to be (when I had a real guild) if you wanted to change mains, to get up to speed so you could raid with your friends. I know there's a downside with the whole gear score obsession, but the easy access to gear at least means people who want to play together can.




*Only because you're filthy Alliance

That was my theory with my hunter that just hit 80. If I suck at DPS, it's unlikely I will see these people again, so if they think I suck because my DPS is low due to my gear, it doesn't matter because I probably won't see them again.

Sadly though in my first heroic, and many others that followed, my hunter, sans the triumph shoulders(originally had the BoA shoulders) and heroic drops, was doing 2k+ dps on the bosses and was competitive with the other DPS that had twice the level of gear.

YOU CAN DO EEEEEEETT!



Edit: I don't think I have ever ordered pizza.
It's ridiculously expensive and I prefer just cooking my own food.
And I'm just as much of a wuss IRL, it takes me half a day to gather up the courage for an important phone call.

Edit: Find a tank to heal, or roll a tank and find a healer and talk over skype while leveling in dungeons.
It's guaranteed fun.

I said it's fun with any healer/tank combo.
You're not any healer

And I thought I was geeky.

I typed up a Shadow guide for my guild forums. There are some priests who shall remain unnamed that really need it.
