The Priest Accomplishment ThreadFollow

You're new? The alcohol is getting to your brain Horse.

Not a really big accomplishment, but I did get to level 15 tonight on my new priest, so I can start doing random dungeons so I can learn how to heal slowly and comfortably. And I have the Shield glyph!

Got my Disc priest to 80 on Sunday. I could equip two T9 pieces right away from normals done. With the addition of a few crafted epics, he is doing quite alright in the random heroics already. Still only up to TOC yet, but ICC 5-mans should follow shortly. I really enjoy the disc healing so far, having LFG leveled as Disc from level 70. It seems to be performing well in heroics too. I'm currently Tardscored at 3600, which doesn't get me crap from anyone because I can keep people up quite well.

I feel maybe that I'm becoming to reliant on shield/flash/renew, and that I don't use Prayer of Mending and Prayer of Healing enough. Need to work on that, I think.

Anyway, just letting you know that my priest became my 5th level 80.

You can never be too reliant on shield.

And yes, do use ProM more, it is delicious, especially with the 2T9 bonus. So much so that I'm equipping my T9.0 gloves over my T10.5 gloves in heroics to keep the two-set bonus.

PoH is powerful but if I cast it a lot, I find myself running out of mana fast. It's more of a Holy spell, I think. I still use it in raids (Precious and Stinky make it necessary) and occasionally in heroics out of laziness.



Also, Dadanox, thank you for inspiring me with your PowerAuras thread to set up a PowerAura that gives me all sorts of annoying warnings when I've got ProM on myself. I've made it jump quite a bit more consciously yesterday.

Grats on that! Like nearly all last bosses in WOTLK, it's an excellent fight, lots of fun to play through.

As for me... Healing Saurfang-25 was actually a bit of a challenge again today, due to the fact that we had to do it with 4 healers. I haven't really done anything in that fight for ages, not even on heroic 10-man.

My priest got a Mark to get a fancy new 264 hat and a new calculator to boot.

$&@# &%@^#&!! frick and frack, gibberish gibberish gibberish...

that is all





...ok maybe not

I am so tempted to just afk for a half hour while my semi-pug 25-man does those fights. I have only seen one mark drop but about a half dozen abacuses... abaci... whatever they are, drop. While I have only rolled one "1", the rest of my rolls add up to somewhere around "100". Only been doing 25-man with the same group for about 2 months... maybe I am just not patient enough.

And if another druid chastises me for rolling on Trauma, I am going to turn them into tinder, light them on fire, then take a bio on them until they are a mess of smoldering ashes.

Entered a very late ICC25 PuG today. I DC'd for all for Marrowgar (or rather, DC'd 4 times in that fight), most of Lootship (which was on heroic, not that I got anything out of that) and about half of Deathbringer. They did not kick me. We proceeded to one-shot Rotface, got Festergut on the third try and I officially love that fight on 25man because it allows me to get to ~8k HPS, and then spent some time teaching the pallies how to Valithria. Only did two tries as it was nearly 1 o'clock server time, but one pally doubled his HPS on the second try. Apparently, the same PuG is getting together next Saturday to do it again - considering some of the undergeared people in there, it can only get better - and if some don't attend, I might be able to sneak a few guildies in.

Anyway, two more bosses down in ICC25, so if I need to PuG it, I now have a good chance of getting into one of those raids going for 10/12+. Yay!

Didn't get any loot, though.

Incorrect. Trauma does not proc off of VE. It does off of the initial cast of Devouring Plague, but that simply won't be cast enough to make it viable over a straight-up dps weapon.

Source.

Yeah, it does suck, doesn't it?

Back when Plague Wing was first released, I was considering talking to my guild leader about letting me experiment with it the first time it dropped.

I'm just going to come in here, pretend I didn't mean holy/disc priests and that I knew IDrownFish's argument in advance.

I'm so awesome.

I just brought my mage up to 80 and was doing some randoms. Dungeons my level like Utgarde Pinnacle (one of my favorites) on normal were giving around a quarter of a level per run. Heirlooms and rested were giving crazy xp, 50k xp for a dungeon quest. It was so good, I skipped questing from 79 to 80, and just leveled with a few randoms.

I just had a random thought. When Wrath came out, I tri-boxed three of my toons from 70 to 75. Now I have 5 level 80's, 1 healer, 1 tank, and 3 dps. It would be fun to queue up my own randoms and solo them. I'll have to give that some thought. It would be an excuse to get another computer.
