The Priest Accomplishment ThreadFollow

Because I'm a shameless thief who's stealing from the other classes. And we never get nice things.

Anywho.

Post your recent accomplishments!

I got Suffering's End from Anub 25man last night. I'm happy.

I ehm...

Didn't really accomplish much today. Did my dailies, shouted at some random prick who was asking for achievements for VoA 10 (seriously? It's started over here too now) and logged off. I'll get back to you once I get tribute of insanity - I think by now everybody in the guild has it except me >.>

Finally have a healing set that's under 300 hit. (My main set and spec is Shadow and most of that gear is my healing gear).

Also, I finally feel like a real healer after my ToGC 10 run last night. We only go the beasts down, however I finally started making better use of my cooldowns for healing. I always forgot to use PI, but last night I was blowing it every chance I could to help keep our acidmaw tank alive (avoidance based warrior tank). If felt good to obviously be working so hard at it and succeeding.

Hey now. Don't mock. 1550 is a lot higher than I ever got in my, I believe, 30 or 40 lifetime matches. Mostly with my pally. I bet I'd be even worse with a priest, because everyone can three shot me and I still don't get how to stop them.

Wait wut? This is NOT about me? Okay fine.

Grats on all your accomplishments, peeps. :)


Edit: I mean everyone in arena can three shot me, because they're generally better. Battlegrounds and world PVP I'm pretty hard to kill now that I have over 900 resilience, and it's pretty funny watching them get all pissed off about it because they thought the girl in the dress would be an easy kill. The other night in Eye of the Storm a warrior was directly focusing me for at least 3 minutes, including through a bladestorm, before dying himself while I stood there as alive as can be. He did all kind of meanie emotes and stalked me for the rest of the game. Does causing nerd rage count as an accomplishment?

You need to get yourself a decent partner Tea =P. Even you should be able to get a 500 rating.

As for me, Mimiron 25 dropped Pandora's Plea, which I've figured is BiS for disc (along with the Talisman of Resurgence which I already have). I didn't get it, but got rather annoyed when a big ass spectacle of caster DPS rolled on it - sod them, it's BiS for nearly all healers and they want it "because they benefit from intellect too" >.>. My accomplishment here is that we had a healadin along with us who at first didn't want to roll - me and the other healers forced him to roll for our sanity's sake and were glad he won the trinket from the DPS. Silly warlocks and mages >.>

I have an awesome partner. And he's not bad at arena either. I never said we couldn't get 500, which I believe you can get just by showing up and drooling, which I can do okay. Last season I think we were at a thousand, but I only did our 10 matches for 3 weeks before I was all meh, not tonight honey, I have a headache. So it probably would've gone up a little from there, although I don't think we'd ever hit Aethien's 1550 (let alone whatever he gets on his hunter).



I can't survive that way, though, against someone with a good weapon, or someone who is good at PVP, or both. Which you find more in arena than on battlegrounds.

Bah, I'm sure we could do okay if I'd get in there. The rating requirements for the lower tier gear are really low this season. I just haetz arena the way Aethien hates battlegrounds, and the way Moz hates Holy.

Something tells me you would make an excellent top spy, Aethien =P

Ran ToC25, rolled 93 on Solace of the Defeated. Yay me! Also got a trophy, now I just need 24 more emblems so I can get a 245 head to replace my 226 one.

That would be so cool.

Have you forgotten that I actually have a lvl 80 priest I play actively?

Yessssss! Dinged 80, got a handful of random cloth epics from farming normal ToC and tried some arena. We're currently sitting on 50% win ratio and beating the hell out of insanely better geared teams (RMP setup) even though i have 14k hp and about 100 resilience. Currently working on getting the WG legs and the deadly pvp set, though it's a bit grindy when each piece costs 50k honor.

Thank you! I tend to die horribly if i get focused too much (especially by warriors, ugh) but my frost mage friend is seemingly indestructible and provides great peels. The rogue needs a little more attention but on the other hand he straight up murders things, sometimes healers, completely on his own.

It's probably the most fun i've ever had in pvp actually. Very strange way of healing, i haven't cast greater heal once in 25 games (5/5 Divine Fury is still amazing for Holy Fire and Smiteing) and i rarely even use flash heal. PW:S along with prayer of mending bouncing around takes care of most damage and penance is alway there if someone is getting focused hard. My favourite moment so far was frantically Mass Dispelling round a pillar to get innervate off a druid i had burned down to about 2k mana while trying to dodge lava bursts from a shammy. Pretty sure my mage was laughing too hard on vent at my increasingly high pitched cursing as i missed with the targeting reticule again and again :(

I guess you have Divine Fury, but I'm amazed you can stand casting Smite. The incredibly slow cast time for the mediocre damage wants me to claw out my eyeballs whenever I cast it. I hate it when I need a quick decent-damage spell and just sit there looking at my cast bar going "smite... smiiiiiiiiiiiite... smiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite..." followed by an astonishing *poof*, 2500 hit. No, give me a Holy Fire+Mind Blast+Shadow Word: Death combo anytime. It makes me feel like I'm actually nuking instead of waiting for a slight amount of damage. The only downside to it is that those three spells together seem to *always* leave an enemy at 15% hit points with all three your quick nukes on cooldown. And then you have to wait for smiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite to fire anyway =(

Regardless, I like priest healers in PvP. They can be annoying, but they're not as f*cking annoying as resto druids. Priest healers can actually run OOM, and you can actually stay on them. IF you even manage to stay on a constantly morphing restodruids back, which is annoyingly hard to do due to the fact that you can't slow them properly and they will cyclone you whenever you get a hold of them, they will just outheal every goddamn thing you throw at them. And you can't even interrupt them. And when you pop all your CD's and get a 10K crit, they'll use Nature's Swiftness and do an instant full heal. And there is no OOMing them either. It's just goddamn frustrating.

Edit for the lulz.

Yeah, I used to love burst when I was doing 2v2s for a bit, HF-MB-Offensive penance-SWD was my favourite pressure combo. Got a bit busy raiding after that which is a shame because it was pretty fun for a while.

I finally got my 4pc T-9. I was holding out on the last piece for a trophy drop for the 245 version. I had lost out on an earlier roll to a last minute replacement on a trinket and was rolling my normal 4-23 range all night.

After downing Anub, the trophy roll came along and I closed my eyes and clicked my "roll" button. When I opened my eyes, a "100" was staring back at me. I was shocked, to say the least.

You guys are all so accomplished. :) Cheers to everyone.

Now you can feel justified eating all that turkey. :)

Well you killed em all, better eat em all now too.
Don't let that meat go to waste!

I am not much of a holiday achievement whore, but when I noticed that the title for Bounty was "Pilgrim", I knew I had to do it.

<3 John Wayne

Me Pilgrim, too! I'm just sad you can't send the turkeys to other toons. I have a few alts that need to level their cooking.

Hush now baby, don't you cry.

FTFY

edit: i cant spell my name

I got the Argent Confessor accomplishment last night. Not sure what it has to do with green bars though.

Actually with the grids addon it is colored corners, borders and names.

Oh and got Sinners Confession leaving me with only one blue item left to replace (trinket).

Hello.

I'm not sure whether I should put this here or over at the DK forums, but I did over 3K DPS for the first time when we did an altling run to Ulduar tonight. I guess having a proper DPS spec helps (I've only ever DPSed in PvP or tanking spec), but it was still thrilling.

Also, I've lost all respect for tanks and DPS on Kologarn >.> As a priest you spend that fight chaincasting - as a Death Knight you just stand around and blow your rotation. Sometimes you get grabbed which means you can sit back for a couple of seconds. Heck, that fight is *easier* than a target dummy if you're a melee DPS or tank.

I'm not much on playing dps characters, although I have a few. My son just hit 80 on his Shaman and wants to heal, so I put my second spec back to Shadow for when I'm not needed as a healer. It's been fun. I still have a few pieces of hit gear, so I've gotten that up to cap. While doing dps, it's still extremely useful to be capable of throwing a shield or backup heal to prevent a wipe.

I've worked PW:Shield/SW:Death into my dps rotation (the shield keeping me from killing myself), as well as my engineering Rockets for my gloves. I don't expect to set any dps records, but it's fun. I really love playing my priest. Maybe I'll just save my druid for bear tanking when there is a need.

I am so jealous, we have a board full of such accomplished priests and here I am with my frostsavage starter set and the goddamn shinygem wand STILL!

By the way very happy for you all, blah blah

*sulk*

OSHI--

That early? I better get back to stockpiling saronite!
