Good lord, server lag is insane for Silvermoon tonight. Takes 10 minutes to loot bosses, but only for the person who gets the loot, so you get to watch your tank pull away nonchalantly in HToC and wonder why you're not DPS'ing. At least my DK got the Edge of Ruin, so that was worth it. Plus a Peacekeeper Blade in case I run DW tanking after 3.3.:lol
I considering buying a Tankard of Terror x2 for my Death Knight when he hits 80. How would dual wielding those work out for a DK? Am I better off saving 1600g and just hammering Heroic ToC until Edge of Ruin drops?
Of course by the time I get to 80, the Icecrown 5 mans may have already opened up and won't it be dropping iLevel 226 weapons?

Color me disappointed re: the Mage set.

Yeah, I'm not feeling the priest set either.
I also have a question for the disc priests out there. How do I gauge success for raid healing? I tagged along on an Ulduar pug over the weekend, and was on tank heals for the run. At one point, the shammy and druid wanted to see the numbers for the heals so far on the run, and there's were through the roof compared to mine. Granted they were doing a lot more raid healing than I, but should I be worrying about that sort of thing, or should I just focus on whether the person(s) I'm assigned to are still alive at the end of a fight?
I usually keep shields and renew up on the tank, and use heals as needed (usually flash or greater, as I try to save penance for "oh shit" moments). When it looks like the tank is doing alright, and I can help out with the raid at large my first instinct is to toss around some shields, put out a prayer of mending, and pound out a penance if someone is getting thumped and I don't think the tank will need it. Is that a logical way to approach tank healing in a raid as a disc priest, or are there some other things I should be considering too? I don't do a lot of raiding, so any suggestions would be great. =)

Alright, so I finally scrimped together enough gear to hit the defense cap on my death knight so I can start tanking heroics. I'm a few badges from the tank Tier 8.5 chest, but any ideas on tanking trinkets I can get easily? The stupid Black Heart refuses to drop in ToC, trying that one, but right now I have no stamina coming from my trinkets at all. I'm thinking Essence of Gossamer from H AN might be my best shot right now.

Rawr needs to be a little more retarded proof.
You should basically be able to put in all the dungeons your guild is doing and it should spit out a list of stuff to shoot for. It's getting annoying with having to keep all my gear because it's not best at the moment but it will be when I get 3 other pieces I didn't even know about because I got one different piece now.
The neck from the Onyxia head quest is best for me now, but when I get my rings it will be second to a neck that drops from Icehowl 10HM which I do every week. I wish I woulda known that before I bought it from someone.

Youre doing fine. Disc priests are about dmg mitigation; and thus dont look great on healing meters. Just keep the tank alive as a priority; and use any spare chance to bubble spam the raid.
I personally usually stick with flash heal and penance over greater heal, as it's outdated in the 3.1+ tank dmg model of incoming dmg coming fast and hard.

I'm a lvl 80 Nelf Hunter, and I want to create an alt. Which class is the most radically different than my main? I think mage would be fun because of portal travel but also interested in classes that can rez self/others.
Note I will also be soloing quite a bit unless one of you wants to be my friend on Stormscale!

VaLiancY said:*bad memories of wanding shit to death on my Priest alt.*
I remember those days. Being in Westfall, gathering hay bales while using my awesome Enchanting wand, and corpse running every time I pulled more than 2 mobs. :lol
It's a very incorrect assumption to a lot of people that Priest is somehow hard to level. The fact is, leveling a mage sucks about 10,000 times worse because Mages have the same pathetic armor level, but no heals to speak of, and by level 20, Priests have Mind Blast and access to Mind Flay and SW: Pain. Having Mind Flay base ranged at 30 yds is only going to make Priest leveling easier than it already is.

Maybe you haven't done it recently. I did it post 3.1 and it was relatively painless. It's especially easy with a Nelf due to Shadowmeld being available in Combat for bad pulls, but even without it, it's pretty easy, much more so after you get Shadowform.FLEABttn said:
The idea that Priests can't kill mobs is a relic from when Shadow didn't do any damage and wands wouldn't auto-fire. But you won't be wanding past level 20 anyways. Just keep your PW:Shield up on self.
The 60-80 bracket in particular is lightning fast imo.
In other news, I figured out that Battle.net mergeing means I get all of my GF's characters (she doesn't play anymore.) I have no idea what to do with 5 level 80s. Well, the only one I actually transferred onto my account was her rogue which is level 70, but still.

Really? I found that once you start getting +spell power stuff in every slot and the late tier talents for Shadow it starts getting really easy because Mind Flay starts doing serious damage at that point instead of just being a snare to prevent you from dying. Not to mention the downtime reduction with Dispersion.FLEABttn said:
Now that I have that lvl 70 rogue on my account, anyone have a few pointers? I've never done much with a rogue.

I don't get it....what was the problem? Regular Nexus requires like no movement other than stand there and jump a lot. The fact is, on bosses where I DON'T have to move I tend to whack spacebar over and over out of habit :lolAtrophis said:More PUG woes.
Doing last boss of Nexus....normal mode. Wiped about 10 times even after subbing in various different classes and trying it with two healers :lol
Not much you can do when people dont clear the debuf
Man, last boss of Nexus is so easy if you have people who know to just hit the spacebar or bob and weave if they're melee. So simple.
I just wiped six times on the first boss of heroic ToC. After waiting 20 minutes for the healer and tank to get there, the druid tank apparently had no idea how to move the rogue and get out of the poison. Kept complaining that if he moved, he'd somehow lose aggro on the mage. Blah.

All the tank has to do is press Spacebar every ~5 seconds.Atrophis said:The problem was our tank just standing there regardless and dps getting hit by her tail/breath.
Ah well, finally hit 72. Loving the quests in Dragonblight. Great seeing Arthas flashbacks
DPS stands at her side. This rule applies to every single Dragon boss in the entire game.

Whether or not you want to bang 2 tankards or an Edge of Ruin depends largely on whether or not you actually enjoy playing Frost. Unholy DW is going to be all but non-viable in 3.3 so you're talking Frost or nothing with dual wielding.
Mr Nash said:
I normally keep Prayer of Mending on cooldown. PoM is your most efficient heal, even if it heals once and never bounces again, and even in Disc. The likliehood is that it won't be bouncing only once before you can use it again, because the CD is quite a bit longer in Disc without talents to reduce it's CD. Keep Weakened Soul on the target; don't allow Grace to fall off the tank; if it does, burn a Penance because it puts a full 3 stack up.
Your Heals Done numbers will always be low because Disc gains a lot of it's "healing" via mitigation through PW:S.

I get all the caster upgrades that I can, but it just feels like it takes forever to kill anything. And compared to other classes, it does. I just wouldn't recommend to anyone to level a priest unless they really want to, as opposed to just leveling a not hunter.
As far as rogue leveling goes, I did it combat spec. Stuff died pretty easy but there's a lot of downtime spent on eating. As far as pointers, always use your poisons, and don't try to solo group quests.

Different experiences I guess, but I found it really fast.FLEABttn said:
I just don't know how to play a rogue, but I have one @70 already that I'm going to start leveling. The problem is, the Elitist Jerks subforum on rogues doesn't really have much in terms of "This is the spec/class; go for this stat/do this" which the DK forums have really really excellent posts on almost every aspect of the class for all three specs.

Got another account, Aion couldn't hold my attention. Think I'm rolling Ally now. Probably a Warlock. Dunno what race yet, was thinking Gnome for shits and giggles.
