Correction brings up a good point. 5 man your ass off. I'm far more likely to take in someone that's actively trying to improve themselves on their own than someone waiting for a handout.

Historically Holy has been the favorite child for AoE healing, though disc is sorta competitive with it now, by different means. If you know when your group will be taking damage you can mitigate it very efficiently through the use of power word: shield. For 5 mans its entirely up to your personal preference, I prefer disc.

Just had a priest in VoA 25 QQ long and hard saying that he could only heal MT because he was disc, and he couldn't even keep MT alive

Hey guys small question. You know how if you see an item you have to click shift and hover over the item to see what your currently equipping in that slot? Was wondering if there is a way to change the button you have to hold or if there was an addon that made it do it automatically.

Basically, I use the G13 gamepad, and I've got it basically set so I only need to use the keyboard for chatting purposes only. Only thing is I don't have the shift button linked to the keypad. I can always replace it with something, but I like the way it's set up now, so if there's a way to change it, I'd like to.


Note: I didn't see where it was keybind on the normal game list, sorry if I'm retarded and missed it.

I don't really understand this. Since 3.1 I think Disc is pretty strong for "raid healing" with shield spams everywhere. If I have to heal a target more than every 6.4s I have a chance to go OOM so I wouldn't necessarily want to risk MT healing. But then again the VoA I was having mana issues in was with a DK tank in blues tanking the adds without replenishment, so maybe I wouldn't go OOM MT healing...

Disc is probably hands down the best MT healer in the game currently.

[Kyo]

Which would be more benfical, Armorsmith or weaponsmith, im a Dk if it matters.

[Dezzimal]

Neither has any impact on level 80 content right now, if you want you could go weaponsmith and make one of the tier 3 weapons at level 70 (if you're still leveling) which require some mats that might be difficult to come by.

It does not matter. There are no specialization perks in Wrath atm.

Edit: Typed in my reply and waited 30 min before sending heh.

Yeah but if you were disc and tank healing was covered would you cry like a little girl about being assigned to raid heal?

[Norellicus]

Unless another disc priest was already set to tank healing, it was a stupid arrangement to begin with imo

Also, fucking lol @ when archavon grabs you...I'd never had that happen before, freaking hysterical

Edit: Unless the tank healer vastly outperformed the disc priest, anyway

[brisk]

How do you DPS casters deal with the no mana regen lockout on Vezax? Do people wait for Shadow Crash to pop and DPS there, rinse and repeat? I kinda DPSed at the start and had 30% mana after finishing a rotation.

[Correction]

Unless you're doing hardmode you can just kill vapors for your regen, as long as you know not to kill yourself while regenning in one.

And yes, don't dps outside of crashes.

We ended up with like 3 healers on the MT because they were all so horrible, we had a ret pally 3rd on the healing charts at one point, lol

After about 3-4 wipes and a lot of yelling at them, we got it done though.

Is there a setting I can switch and have overlooked or an addon I can grab that will allow my camera to phase through walls when I get too close or background scenery gets in between me and my character? Annoys me to no end when I cant even figure what direction I/mob I might be fighting am facing, esp when I'm on a class that needs to stay behind my target.

(One of the things I miss this about XI, they would phase camera though walls when you got too close)

[Secksi]

What's expected of you is that you rid yourself of nearly all your green gear and start grinding heroics/Naxx10. Guilds with any kind of recruiting standards will also want to see correctly raid-prepared talent trees/glyphs and that you have not made any awful choices in your gems/enchants.

Having a lot of heroic 5-man/Naxx10 achievements under your belt from pugs wouldn't hurt, either. This is all 'starter 80' stuff you can start doing immediately after you cap out and all falls under the general 'are you working at your class or are you waiting for a guild to shower you with loot' line most good guilds draw between invite and 'yeah, no thanks.'

Think this is what I was looking for, thanks.

Nope, no setting. You also can't mouse over things through walls anymore either.

How viable is maxdps.com on gear recomendations?

[Jodwahh]

Its weaksauce pretty much. You could use it as a very very very rough guide but you would be better off downloading your classes spread sheet from elitest jerks.

[Shuemue]

rawr is pretty useful for upgrades for a bunch of classes

[Russta]

Download rawr, CUSTOMIZE IT TO YOUR SPECIFICS, use as a general guide.

Most people miss that middle part out.
