I am a Paladin... : Blizzard FTL

Tue, 19 Oct 2010 03:27:31 +0000

HS Glyph does NOT reduce CD anymore. It only adds more crit chance. I do know the rotation but the problem right now is that all the free heals wind up becoming ALL overheal. There is no way to compete with the loads of smart heals/hots going on. Everything we do is single target and our 1 aoe heal is 30 sec (20 if you glyph for it). Yes, we don't have the lvl 83 Holy Radiance spell yet but that is also on a long-ish CD. I have also heard that since they buffed it to 20 yds on PTR, it is good now. However, do you really want to be effective at healing every 30 seconds and basically all the time in between CDs are you just keeping a rotation that doesn't translate to much effective healing? THAT is the problem I am having with our class/spec right now.

So just because paladins were broken in pre BC, it makes it okay for them to do it now? And no, I have no qualms with using new heals. I DO have qualms with not being able to react effectively because I am stuck in my fucking rotation. As for the whining and spamming one spell bit, I'm sure you know more about that than me. I doubt you were one of those so called "pro" pallies that bothered to use more than Beacon and HL in raid. I used HSac, HSalve, DSac, AM, BoP, Divine Plea, HoJ and more on a DAILY basis. I was also criticized by an ex holy paladin in my guild for not using HL more because I would actually FoL! So thanks for talking out of your ass and showing me exactly why Blizzard decided to fuck up majorly. Because of shitty paladins like YOU.

Even though I optimize for HL for my gems, in no way does this mean I only use HL. Don't think that HS/FoL go unused. Yes, their throughput would be lower but in a raid setting (specifically) 25 man or for hard mode attempts, the mana regen is much more valuable. If there are certain fights that I actually use FoL way more, then I would completely change gear into my FoL gear. Honestly, tweaking your own mana regen has so many variables such as your raid progression, your healer core, healer team make up, your current gear set up, fight mechanics and the length of the fight. I just find that all int gems + 1 Nightmare Tear is the best way to go. Hope this helps.

I haven't had any problems so far but as for my friends, not sure how they even got hacked. One of them as I mentioned doesn't even browse the internet. It's really confounding to think how they even got hacked as a result.

uh, no way did i say authenticators made you hack proof... i would think that if you call someone an idiot based on incorrect reading then you're the one that looks stupid.

Ooh thanks! I think this most recent rash of hackings is due to the vulnerability announced in Adobe Flashplayer if you have not been updated to version 10 but that is just conjecture on my part.

Yeah, I can't figure out how to filter out gold seller ads. Adsense won't let me so I might have to remove it completely. =(

Yup.. read my PS note at the very end of the entry... This was an old post I wrote a long time ago and never published. I just didn't go back to edit. You really think I don't know that all the bosses in ICC are out already? sigh...

Yup, which is why I mentioned that there are probably alts in the data set along with if people are even required to min/max . I just stress that if you are a raiding main and you want to min/max, then I would highly recommend BS/JC

Ooh, I guess I underestimated how much extra efficiency would be added to FoL with 5% extra crit. Good to know =)

FoL glyph as a raid healing glyph isn't great still imo. The reason for this is that if you are raid healing using FoL, you won't be healing someone thinking your FoL will crit. If anything, the good part of healing with FoL is that it can be instant because of HS proccing Infusion of Light occasionally. This means critting off HS is more important, which you did mention as the saving grace in your solo LDW 10 man kill. For this reason, I would probably use Seal of Light, Beacon of Light, Holy Shock as my 3 major glyphs if I were to go FoL. Also, upping the crit percentage of FoL seems more beneficial for mana regen purposes since FoL pallies should have high crit anyway (as they don't need to stack haste past 676 and can go for crit/mp5 pieces then). Of course it's great when FoL crits and it doesn't overheal but it isn't controllable healing. So you wouldn't be healing someone expecting FoL to crit in order to heal them up to full - you would want the normal healing amount of FoL to heal them up fully. However, I am not a practicing FoL pally like you are (I just have FoL gear) but that is just how I see things in regards to FoL glyph.

You may be right but we won't know till Cataclysm. I just don't think that Blizzard will let 25 mans die so easily.

That is what I mean, I doubt the guild Advancement feature will give 25 mans huge benefits but it is a slight edge nonetheless. Of course, Blizzard may not be planning any differences in guild advancement features so there is that as well.

A dwarf on a bike seems to match, I agree with Issy =) Maybe you could also look into talbuks if you don't like rams? Would a dwarf on a chicken look weird? You would have to farm the MgT white chicken off Kaelthas though. And if you hate both choices, the last option I have to proffer you is the Zulian Tiger mount, but again you have to farm for it. I hope your dwarf finds a trusty mount to aid him in his many travels! My recent post Why 25 man raids man may still be better in Cataclysm

OMG, I installed Intense Debate because of you!!! Don't go~ Well, I don't have enough comments on my blog so I don't know if it will drive me crazy like it did you =P Btw grats on the 3d kill! I did 25 man 3d with my old guild a while back but it felt anti-climatic. I still want to do it the "proper" way, just like you. I pugged my 10 man 3d kill though as the solo healer and man, it was brutal. The DPS wasn't up there so people came/left until we pugged the DPS that could do it. Wiped all night for it and I won the drake =D My recent post Why 25 man raids man may still be better in Cataclysm

Sorry about the comment being eaten, I'm still fiddling around with the settings. I think I won't moderate anymore and just let anyone post, so we'll see how that goes. As for coalitions, I think that the reason why Blizzard has gone this route is because working coalitions are not common so Blizzard would prefer to cater to the larger part of their subscribers. So yeah, you guys got shafted =T Would a guild merger be possible for you guys at all?
