[WoW]WotLK - Page 218

If you guys are really having that much trouble with Insanity you should also make sure that everyone stays stacked on each other prior to the cast. One or two of the NPC's might move, but at the start you'll have all 4 shadows on the same spot and this lets any AE class burn them down very quickly. As a DK tank I'm almost always the first one to kill all my shadows simply because I can AE them all and silence the healer.

Heroic level Insanity with multiple healers is fucking brutal and nigh impossible with certain classes/specs.

I don't think this has been mentioned in neither this thread nor the WoW Spec thread ... so here goes.

I stumbled across this Blue Post on the WoW Forums today. I know people have been begging for a Dual Spec option since '04, but I had no idea Blizz would actually ever consider implementing it. Sorry if this is old news I just came back to WoW like a week ago so it was new to me and pretty awesome to boot.

Somewhat new info in there. Reagent cost (~50 silver) isn't too bad at all to pay to respec on the fly.

The feature itself has been confirmed since well before WotLK launch.

OK thanks for the info, before I posted I did do a "dual spec" search for this thread and the WoW Spec thread and saw nothing so I figured it was safe to post. Thanks for a simple & civil answer, those seem to be a rare commodity on these boards now a days.

Well it was much discussed at wotlk release because the annoucement was made sometimes during beta and a lot of people expected it at launch and it didn't happen, so while obviously if you weren't reading stuff about wotlk at launch you probably missed it, for everyone who was that's like super old news. Blizzard has also made quite a few official posts since release to explain they'll try to have it ready for Ulduar patch, not next patch, and that it might not be ready in time, and other stuff about "Soon" and "Details later".

Anyone at 80 tried disc as a priest? From what I've been reading and my current experience pre-80 as disc on my priest, it isn't as efficient as holy for pure raid healing. It looks like (and I've heard people say this) that it is tits for tank healing, and it can be great to have at least one disc priest for imp DS esp, but other than that...it just seems like it's more effort, a specific gear requirement for relatively no benefit if what you are looking for is the best heal spec. Anyone else who can comment? With some of the new wrath top teir holy talents I think disc just comes up kinda short handed.

Zerai · 12-23-2008, 10:58 PM

Guildy tried disc and didn't find it as good. Even for single target. Since you give up so much +healing talents to get down the tree to get penance. Not to mention everything has cooldowns. Penance cooldown and shield debuff cooldowns that you end up having to gheal anyway for shitty heals.

Pyros · 12-23-2008, 11:02 PM

We usually use a disc priest for sarth MT healing, it's pretty nice for this at least. The difference won't be so big for everyday's raiding once they nerf CoH though. Currently, Holy simply wins because the difference on tank healing isn't much, but holy totally trash disc for AE healing.

The biggest problem in TBC was the color scheme... A lot of light pastel colors, mixed in with "neon" glow effects. Even the lava was a bright, glowing, green....The problem with that is it makes the game feel modern, which sounds assanine, but we associate those colors with technology, as they are completely artificial and are not found very often in nature.

You do realize TBC took place on another planet right?

I cannot fucking wait until Christmas is over and the retard 14 year old scrubs are back in daycare.

Past 2 days I've yet to complete a fucking instance because stuff is 'LOL TOO HARD' or because folks are putting on diva complexes and leave the goddamned group.

Fuck this 'saved to an instance' bullshit for Heroics. I'm sick of getting penalized for having the bad luck to group with retards.
