Zolo Trick - Can't get heals off...

[Perrigrin]

...so, I'm doing Zolo with my 70 prot pally to boost my 4x shamans.

I do not have the Figurine ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27529') , but I do have a Spyglass ('http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30620') which helps a little bit.

Now I tank them down just fine, standing for a good 10 minutes or so, keeping my hp up between SoL and the Spyglass - But, as my hp gets low - I try to get a healing off - No way, even with imp conc aura I can get it off - tried a couple of times, ended up having to LoH and next time hp was low I had to reset by jumping.

Question: I do not have the Spiritual Focus talent, is that a must have for Zolo with no figurine? Ie will that let me get a heal off with 40+ skellies beating on me?

Just thought I'd ask before blowing a respec.

Spiratul focus will help alot, but to be honest, get the trinket.

2 min cooldown, full health from it. cant go wrong with it :P

You can bubble and heal, use health pots. It's much easier with figurine of the colossus but I guess you can do it to a point without.

You're doing pretty much what I do, and I personally have no intention of re-speccing for this - I just learned not to rely on a heal.

My pally is fully prot specced, VERY poorly geared (far, far worse than yours) and doesn't have the trinket (or any passive healing at all, in fact). I do have a couple of trinkets that improve dodge / block, and I alternate those.

I keep him alive by actively balancing seals of light and wisdom and bubbling up to heal when he gets below 1k health. If I get below 3k health and it doesn't look like my bubble's going to be available when I need it, I jump down.

Once I got the balance right, I *always* end up resetting Zolo after 10-15 minutes to prevent him dying, rather than my pally :)

[Perrigrin]

Yeah, My main problem it turns out was that I was sloppy with positioning and attacking, so A) I got hit in the back quite a bit and B) I wasnt using SOL to it's potential -- Think it can do this without respeccing.

But yea, Agree - I want the trinket - to damn hard to get a sh group going these days though.

On silvermoon horde its a mircale u get ANY party at all :P

Hard to get a what? A group? What's one of those?

*puzzled*

Hmmm. Maybe I've been boxing too long!

Spec Spiritual focus in your build.
Use Concentration Aura
The combination of both will ensure you take no spell interruption in heals.

If you can get a mana regen of around 200 -220 then you will have regenerated full mana before healing again

just use lvl 67 - 70 armour and shields (reduced repair costs)

I'd say this is the ideal Zolo spec.

Just pop Devine favor before Holy light and you have a free crit heal every 2 minutes. There's also a reduced cooldown for LoHands.
