Reglyphing

I know it's been a while since my last post, and I apologize for that. I thought I'd have more to say, but I guess I was giving myself a bit too much credit. Hah. Altaholic has given me a bit of gentle prodding though, so I'll see what I can do.

I've gone ahead and reglyphed myself, though I haven't had a chance to test them out in a raid situation yet. I used Elitist Jerks as a start, and picked out the ones I felt were the most beneficial for me personally.

Currently, I am using:

Glyph of Power Word: Shield
Glyph of Penance
Glyph of Prayer of Healing
Glyph of Fortitude
Glyph of Levitate

Glyph of Power Word: Shield is incredibly useful for discipline priests. We already get a stronger shield thanks to our talent tree, which makes the glyph heal for more than it would if the player were holy or (for some reason) shadow. 20% of a disc priest's shield absorption healed can get to be quite a bit, especially if you keep the shield up.

Glyph of Penance is pretty self-explanatory, dropping the cooldown time of Penance 2 seconds. It adds up.

The Glyph of Prayer of Healing I was initially a bit leery on, but I remembered how nice it was to have when I was mainspecced holy, I decided to pop it on. It heals an additional 20% of its initial heal over 6 seconds, which, I can only imagine, will be nice in fights like Festergut and Rotface where there's more than one person taking damage, and the resto shaman is having a hard time by himself.

The other two are minor glyphs, for reducing the mana cost of abilities and removing the need for reagents, respectively. I don't think I've ever played a priest without the latter, since I tend to accidentally autorun myself off cliffs.

I'm still trying to decide what to put in the last minor slot, if anything.

Meanwhile, guild drama. It seems like the dust has settled, for now. We'll see.

Trial of the Crusader, part 2

As expected, we finished up TotC10 as a pure guild run. The final two bosses are almost a joke compared to the faction champions.

Protip for priests: Keep your shield up for the twins. While it won't absorb all the harmful balls, it will ease some of the damage taken, especially when you get a bunch at once.

Next step, Sarth3D. Things are going to get very, very interesting very, very fast.

And So it Begins

I am going to admit it... I am awful at beginning these things. I will, therefore, attempt to keep this first post short and sweet, to tell you a bit about myself.

I am a male Troll discipline priest, offspecced holy. I am a healer in a casualcore raiding guild, progressing through Ulduar with a team of some of the most amazing people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

I began my life as a Draenei, and switched servers and factions to play with friends in a guild where I had been an offtank, previously. My knowledge of discipline priests is, at the time, only mediocre, as I leveled from 1 - 80 as holy, but what I do know I will attempt to share in posts to come, to possibly help future generations of healers. Also included will be stories of fail, win, drama and everything inbetween, all through the eyes of a priest.

And with that, I bid you adeu for now.

Stay away from de Voodoo.
