Hello Priestly friends, I was wondering if you all could help me with a problem.

Clicky.

See the priest? She's going into the portals along with the Pally, but is having a heap of trouble. Some of it's simply movement related I'm tending to believe (she also had issues on Malygos for reference, and 3D space isn't her best friend); she was getting about 6 stacks of buff to the pally's 20-25. But I was wondering if there's anything else you guys might be able to tease out. She's normally a disc. priest and only has been going holy for this one fight, so I don't know if there's something else she should do. I've had a couple of people mention guardian spirit, and I don't know if she used it, or if/how it shows up on the log files.

Some background, for those who may not know, when we were initially trying this fight we kept the priest out in disc. and me (druid) and the pally went into the portals. After consistently coming out the first time to find a wipe in progress, me and the priest decided we'd switch roles. The first time we beat Val. the priest never was really able to find the portals and stayed out healing the dragon (in disc. from what I was told).

Not that it's a huge issue, we have the fight down fairly well actually, minus the priest of course. Just hoping to help a friend out a little.

Any thoughts?

Ya, um my bad for splitting the conversation between here and the druid thread.

She also has had problems on Malygos, and Hodir was bad. Nothing else in the current content seems to be giving her problems though.

*shrugs*

We never got to Yogg. Our raid group fell apart over a loot dispute in Ulduar, and we never went back to it once we re-formed. I think your suspicion is correct really. That seems to sum her up pretty well. We don't really ask her to raid heal for that very reason.

Pally should be able to solo heal the Val with you on the raid. HL will get funky towards the end. Also why does it look like healing went down during Hero?

Have her DPS. Disc is terrible for dragon healing as too much of the 'healing' throughput is based on shields and absorbs which have no effect on Val. PW:S and DA typically account for 50% of my 'healing' done in a typical raid as an example.

I like how WoL says Val dies at the end. :)

The healer should be the one calling for Hero on Val, so they can get it after a portal when they have buttons to push so they can really go apesh*t healing the dragon.

edit: This is why I like it best when we have our shammy heal Val, makes it easier.

Oooh is that what they're talking about? Thank you for clearing that up for me. And: Bloodlust FTFW.

Hmm...

I guess it depends on how you look at it. Saurfang was a ******** harder pre-buff and at first in general. Now everyone's so overtuned they bring him down without any marks. Back when you still had 2-3 marks on 10-man, it was pretty hard, even on normal, especially without paladin healers.

Lady Deathwhisper on the other hand, has always been easy.

We've been getting worse at Saurfang. I blame laziness. Back when we were buff-less we'd flirt with the enrage timer with 1 mark up and me doing a mix of healing and resto-DPS, while the pally had fun with beacon.

Now we still get 1 mark, but we get it in like 2-3 minutes, I spend more time healing and less time DPSing. I think the concepts of bouncing aggro and kiting went out the window once people realized we could just mow stuff down.

I'm confident that our healers thought the exact same since it was a oneshot for all our 10 mans and both our 25 mans (gogo alts) with no deaths in the runs I did.
