After thoroughly reading the rest of this thread there are a couple of key clarifications: 2.15 PoH cast time is with 3 points darkness as holy UNBUFFED. With raid haste buff this drops down pretty significantly. Secondly: Holy Priests are go oom or go home. From a raid perspective its better to burn your mana rather than let a tank die or peoepl drop from failing to patch heal.(this is something i've had to learn quite recently switching from a 10man guild to a 25man guild.
There are a couple of reasons that you would go oom that you CAN CONT...
There are a couple of things here divinity:
You shoudl try to pick up extra LFR tier pieces in particular the crit ones and reforge those, you dont really need a ton of crit per say to function well in heroic modes. I say this for a couple of reasons:
H morchok got nerfed to a joke. Literally a joke, you could pug that and have no healers stack ever, stat priority is silly when the damage gets nerfed to something where you could run 4-5 healers instead of 6-7 in 25's
H Zon'ozz - outside of the stacking phase as disc your not really havin...
Alright having checked this out and doing the research myself and testing in game i found a solution finally to this mastery versus haste thing. The first thing however is that you have to trust me in not using a int pot but instead a spirit pot. Why? you ask? Because if you're using a spirit pot, that means you have 300 spirit you would otherwise not have to play with. Meaning you can reforge 300 of your spirit, keep your mastery where it is and increase your haste to about 15 percent.
Some people will claim this is just rubbish due to the ...
I don't really think that is nessecarily true lument. If yoru on the morchok side which is different than the other side you have to deal with a lot more crystals and dont really have 3-4 free globals like you do with the other side. Secondly it was taken out of context. This assumes that you are triage healing with your globals instead of poh spamming. not stackign also makes a difference.
Think of it this way....1 Poh on a group is bleh, but 2 PoHs back to back is 4-5 seconds of double echo of light, as opposed to having all mastery and re...
Also are priests picking and hoosing haste for certain fights due to the lack of stationary time liek morchok?
Clarification would be nice. Ive seen both strats where healers soak the crystal damage and those where they do not. Both are viable, however were currently running a holy pally, 1 holy priest, 1 disc priest (os) and a druid on that side to compensate for the extra crystal spawn. The healing comp isn't really designed for movement outside the druid. and cd on coh is to large to be effect between damages since they are so close. I'm looking for other priests that stack and what they are doing to increase their bottom line of healing with the 2-3...
im getting some heat about healbot/grid+clique versus a custom raid interface with keybindings. Is there legitimate enough lag with the former that would make or break my dps. (the only difference that ive noticed is that renew seems to "skip" targets when blanket spamming....but that just could be because im clicking faster than the gcd, versus click and pressing a key is closer to the gcd.) outside of instance where your functioning faster than the gcd are there other problems? Anyone have any thoughts about healing addons versus keybindings?...
25H Morchok. During the split my group takes morchok, and im just curious about specific spells used during some key points. First to note is that the entire group stacks for crystals and stomps at no point do healers NOT stack on the crystal.
Okay so here's what im doing and wondering if thats what other people are doing.
